The CJF Ministries Four Seas Tour package price of $3,995 (+ $792 single supplement) includes all taxes, fees, and gratuities. It does not include lunches, passport fees, drinks, laundry, and other items of a personal nature. Accepting substitute participants for those who cancel will be at the discretion of CJF Ministries and based on airline ticketing considerations.

RESERVATIONS AND DEPOSIT

CJF Ministries requires that all tour participants secure their reservations for the Four Seas Tour by making a $1,000 deposit, payable to their official tour operator, CJF Ministries. All deposits must be accompanied by a signed and completed application and a photocopy of the inside page of a valid passport, and mailed to:

CJF Ministries
611 Broadway
San Antonio, TX 78215

TOUR PARTICIPATION

Every tour participant must be in possession of a current passport and ensure it does not expire within six months of the travel dates. Vaccinations of any kind are not required by law. No visa is required of US citizens for entry into Israel. Final payments to CJF Ministries are required of all participants sixty (60) days prior to departure and may be made by check, money order, or credit card. Payment arrangements can be made by calling (800) 926-5397.

INSURANCE

Travel insurance is not required and is not included in the tour price; however, we strongly recommend that tour participants—especially those whose group or individual health insurance plans don’t cover overseas travel—secure a policy that protects themselves in the event of an unforeseen medical issue or other problem either prior to or during the tour. Due to our own obligations as a tour operator, we must adhere strictly to the graduated scale of pre-tour cancellation penalties (see Cancellations below); however, many travel policies will cover this expense if you are forced to cancel. Companies like Travelex (www.travelex.com/us/personal/travelinsurance.asp) and AIG TravelGuard (www.travelguard.com) are well-known and trusted in the travel industry. There are a number of other companies, as well, with a wide range of prices, so many people like to comparison shop (www.insuremytrip.com). Also, some credit cards offer travel protection if you use that card to pay for the tour. In any case, the traveler is responsible for doing the research, making choices, and arranging for appropriate coverage.

CANCELLATIONS

Tour participants are subject to the following cancellation penalties, as stated below, if they cancel their reservations following final payment:

Sixty-one (61) days or more prior to departure: a full refund
Sixty (60) days to thirty (30) days prior to departure: $500
Twenty-nine (29) days to one (1) day prior to departure: $1,000
No-show on day of departure: one hundred percent of tour cost.

No refunds will apply to any unused services should a traveler need to leave once the tour has departed. While airfare is generally nonrefundable, it may be reusable toward future travel. Typically, airlines charge a service fee plus any fare difference at time of reissue. CJF Ministries will make every effort to assist in this process, but cannot guarantee credit for airfare in the event of trip cancellation. Again, participants may purchase a policy from a company like AIG TravelGuard to provide further coverage.
