Blue Riband Cancellation Plan
Once a booking has been made a legal contract exists which makes
you liable for the full cost of the accommodation regardless of the
reason for your cancellation, this is only fair to the owners of the
accommodation. Blue Riband Holidays operate a very good value
Cancellation Plan at a cost of only £5 or £10 per week booked. This
will relieve you of some of the worry if you have to cancel for one of
the these qualifying reasons: illness, injury death or maternity, or
illness of any member of your party. The death, serious injury
or illness of a close relative. No refunds can be considered
without a full medical certificate, applies to all cases. Please
note: illness to a pet is not covered by the scheme.
Charges for the Cancellation Plan
For Hire charges up to £260 the charge is £5 per week booked,
for Hire charges above £260 the charge is £10 per week booked.
The deposit or initial charge is £45 per week booked, the appropriate
Cancellation Plan Charge must be added making your initial payment
£50 or £55 per week booked depending on the hire charge.
The cancellation plan terminates seven days before your
holiday is due to commence. If you have to cancel for one of the
qualifying reasons up to that date you will receive a full refund of
your holiday money less the deposit and Cancellation Plan payment
which are not refundable. Once we get into the 7 day period before
your holiday, refunds are dependant on the accommodation being
re-let. It is to your advantage to give us the earliest possible warning
of a cancellation to enable us to try and re-let the accommodation.
Tell us firstly by telephone but this must be backed up by a first class
letter or in an email.
Cancellation Plan cover is a requirement for every booking, the
only exception is if you have your own holiday insurance cover which
must equal or exceed the cover offered in our Cancellation Plan. We
must see a copy of the policy. If your reason for cancelling is not
covered by the plan we will do our best to re-let the accommodation,
if successful we will be able to make a refund. If for any reason a
booking is made without cancellation cover no refunds can be made.
Please note this is a Cancellation Plan and does not cover
curtailment of a holiday. All information is correct at time
of printing.
