After booking the trip, we will send you an advance payment invoice, upon payment of which we will confirm your place in the travel group. The advance payment is 1000 euros per traveler. The advance payment will be deducted from the total cost of the trip. We will generally send the final invoice 60 days before the start of the trip. Depending on the specifics of the trip, we may submit additional invoices from the moment of booking the trip under the conditions set out in the travel description – for example, if there is a need to purchase flight tickets earlier, pay for accommodation services, etc.

The amount refunded in the event of a trip cancellation therefore depends on the expenses already incurred for the trip at the time of cancellation. If the traveler cancels the trip more than 60 days before the trip, we will refund the advance payment, minus the office costs (service fee) of 250 euros and, depending on the situation, other non-refundable expenses already incurred for the trip (e.g. flight tickets). If there are 60 days or less until the trip, the advance payment is non-refundable.

Changes to the travel program

As a tour operator, we do our best to ensure that the trip takes place exactly as promised. However, the implementation of the travel program also depends on circumstances that are beyond the control of the tour operator. The tour operator therefore has the right to make changes to the program without prior notice, such as changing the destination or hotel (ensuring the same or better standard as possible), both before and during the trip. We will do this if it is necessary or unavoidable for reasons beyond our control. Please read Albion Travel’s travel conditions: https://albion.ee/reisitingimused.

• To travel to Kuwait, Estonian citizens need a visa, which can be applied for electronically before the trip.
• Estonian citizens need a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia (guidelines are provided by Albion). An e-visa for tourism costs 535 SAR, or approximately 130€.
• The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of the trip.

NB! Entry requirements may change rapidly. We will send a separate detailed overview to all registered travellers. Each traveller must ensure that their certificates, documents, etc. are valid and meet the requirements of the transit and destination country. Albion will provide information, but as conditions may change rapidly, the final responsibility for compliance with the conditions remains with each traveller. Additional information on entry requirements can be found on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’  Travel Smart page.

It is the traveler’s responsibility to check with due diligence that the risks that are important to them are adequately insured throughout the trip. Therefore, we ask every traveler to take out the necessary travel insurance for themselves.

Albion cooperates with Salva Kindlustus. The advantage of taking out Salva travel insurance through us is that in the event of an insured event, we, as the tour operator, can submit the necessary documents directly to the insurance company, and the claim handling process is significantly easier, faster and paperless for the traveler. We recommend taking out travel insurance at the time of booking the trip.

When taking out travel insurance, we pay attention to the importance of trip interruption insurance – if the trip is cancelled due to illness or some other insured event, for example, then the travel insurance will cover the cost of the trip up to the amount of the trip interruption. As a tour operator, we often see cases where the travel interruption amount of the travel insurance included with the traveler’s credit card is not sufficient for this (as a rule, it is a maximum of €2,000). In order for the travel insurance to also cover trip cancellations due to natural disasters, civil unrest or strikes, additional trip interruption protection should be ordered separately in addition to the travel insurance.
