PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Iceland is a part of the Schengen agreement. For details on general visa, passport requirements and health information view the official website for Iceland Ministry for Foreign Affairs
It is the passengers' responsibility to ensure that they are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure, including a passport that is valid for at least three months after return travel date. We cannot accept liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry any necessary documentation. If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results in fines, surcharges or other financial penalties imposed on Iceland Travel, you will be responsible for reimbursing Iceland Travel accordingly. In the event that Iceland Travel is asked to re-issue tickets that have been lost, destroyed or stolen, and Iceland Travel agrees to do so; however, any charges incurred as a result of this will be payable by you.
Travellers suffering from any known or suspected medical condition that can have an effect on travel, or women more than 28 weeks pregnant, must notify Iceland Travel at least 30 days before departure. In these cases, they must also produce a medical certificate confirming fitness to travel. Iceland Travel reserves the right to refuse or to cancel bookings if relevant certificates are not produced. In this regard, Iceland Travel will not be liable for any failure, negligence, or deceit on behalf of the traveller. Iceland Travel will not be liable for any operator's refusal to carry any person who has not notified Iceland Travel of their condition.
Iceland Travel offers a variety of tours, packages tickets and services ("products") through its website (icelandtravel.is). Iceland Travel’s Terms and Conditions contain legal obligations; therefore, it is of the utmost importance that you read them carefully. They form the basis on which bookings are accepted by Iceland Travel. The purchase of any travel services offered by Iceland Travel constitutes a contractual arrangement between the person making the booking and Iceland Travel, and represents acceptance of Iceland Travel's Terms and Conditions described here.
