About the itinerary
The itinerary descriptions included in this brochure reflect the plans for each expedition and should be read as general guides only. These are expeditions to remote and rarely visited regions of the world, and flexibility is required. Our exact program will vary based on local weather and ice conditions, availability of local permissions, and government orders.
Itinerary
The itinerary described is subject to change at the discretion of the ship’s master and Expedition Leader. This is an expedition to a remote part of the world, and we reserve the right to change the itinerary due to weather conditions, availability of anchorages, political conditions and other factors beyond our control without consulting the passengers. It is understood that such decisions will be made in the best interests of all passengers aboard and with regard to the safety of the vessel. Passengers have no right to any refund or other considerations in the event of these inevitable itinerary changes. Nothing in this brochure is meant to signify the use of any specific design or model of helicopter. The images featured in this brochure are inspirational in character and do not necessarily depict the exact people, animals, and places encountered by passengers.
Photography
Passengers extend QEI and SEL permission to take their photograph during the voyage and release all rights over those images. Passengers who do not wish to be photographed during the voyage must inform QEI and SEL in writing prior to the voyage.
Rates
Voyage rates are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time of printing and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates and the price of fuel, services and labor sometimes increase the cost of expedition arrangements significantly, and we reserve the right to alter prices or introduce surcharges accordingly, even if payment has been received in full.
