Pricing and Content Shown on Sunquest.ca

All prices within this website are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and are most commonly displayed as priced in “CAD” or “CDN”. Prices on Cruise vacations and packaged cruise vacations (which include flights) are sometimes priced in American dollars and are most commonly stated as priced in “USD”. There are circumstances where you may be able to change the currency for purchasing “Hotel Only” packages. Once your preferred currency selection is made, the chosen currency must show alongside the listed Hotel package (e.g., EUR, GBP) in order to purchase the product in that particular currency. Some airport fees, taxes and baggage fees, where applicable, may not be included in the pricing. Baggage fees vary depending on the airline the customer is booking with. It is the responsibility of the customer to read the individual baggage handling policies of their airline. It is advised to secure your seat in advance if available/offered by the airline. Seat Selection is an additional fee charged by the airline. Flight reservations will be subject to a $15.00 ticketing fee per person, processed through Sunquest.ca. Therefore two (2) charges will appear on your credit card statement, the charge for your airline ticket processed through the Airline or Third Party Supplier and the ticketing fee(s) charge, processed through Sunquest.ca. All prices on this website are subject to change without prior notice. Any changes in pricing that may occur before, during or after a purchase, as a result of a tour operator change, are not the responsibility of Sunquest.ca. Once a booking is complete, pricing CANNOT be adjusted (pending bookings not included). Please note that pricing and availability on packages, accommodations, add-ons, tours, cruises and flights is not guaranteed until confirmed (full payment is processed). There can be moments when an advertised price on this site may differ from the final confirmed price. This may be a direct result of an unavoidable delay between the third party service provider and the most current tour operator, consolidator, cruise line or airline selling price. Should there be a discrepancy between the initial advertised price shown on the website and that of the actual tour operator selling price; the latter, confirmed-final price shall prevail. Prices may also vary if a customer is booking a single, triple or quadruple occupancy per room, thus altering the pricing format set out by the tour operator. When a vacation package, hotel only booking or cruise package price is confirmed (by clicking “Buy Now”), the actual price reflecting occupancy changes will then appear. Please read the Terms & Conditions from the Cruise Line carefully in regards to your cruise line-added flight (flight plans arranged by the cruise line; also known as “Cruise Line Airfare”).
