We take great care in selecting the suppliers of services (i.e.: airlines, hotels, ground transportation companies, cruise lines, etc.) which together form the travel services you have purchased. We act solely as agents for the suppliers, the suppliers are independent parties over which we exercise no direct control. We shall not be liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses, delays or loss of enjoyment of any nature or kind whatsoever, to you or your travelling companions or group members, resulting from the acts, omissions or negligence of anyone other than us or our employees acting properly on our behalf. Suppliers’ liability may also be limited by law, tariffs or conditions on tickets and in particular you should read and understand the limitations of liability set forth in the airline ticket, hotel, supplier or cruise documentation, once delivered to you. All prices quoted here are in Canadian dollars.
