(If you have any queries please discuss with our sales consultants)
iExpedition Pty Ltd (ABN 90 615 816 003) (iExpedition) has access to a number of Service Providers which enables the best possible deal to be obtained for you as the client. For this reason, expeditions advertised on our website are not conducted by us but by the relevant Service Provider offering the package best suitable to your requirements. Please refer to the terms and conditions of our engagement detailed below:
Booking Procedure
1.1 The booking between you and us comes into existence only after we have sent to you the quoted itinerary and invoice, and we acknowledge receipt of payment of the deposit.
1.2 If you make a booking on behalf of other people, you represent that you have the authority of each of the other people to enter into this contract and that you and they have agreed to be jointly and severally liable to us. In any event, you accept personal liability for the acceptance, and/or compliance, of each of those people with this contract.
Pricing
2.1 Expedition costs are based on the costs charged to us by our service providers at the time of publication. While we try our utmost not to increase the published prices, this is sometimes outside our control, so we reserve the right to amend our prices. Amendments should occur only in the event of marked fluctuations in the US dollar exchange rate or increases in the costs charged to us by service providers eg. fuel surcharges.
2.2 Once you have paid the tour price in full, iExpedition shall not increase the tour price save where such increases are imposed by government regulation or the costs charged to us by service providers. In those limited events, you will be required to pay the increased tour price.
2.3 The contract price is shown in the currency required by our service provider; it may not be the same as your country’s currency. Where the service provider’s currency is not Australian dollars, we may show the estimated Australian cost; however, the Australian dollar amount is an indicative only, and in the event of a dispute, the price on the day of final payment as shown in the currency of our service provider and determined by our consultants shall be the contract price, together with further payments, if any, required by these terms.
2.4 The estimate of the contract price as stated in your country’s currency may vary from time to time in line with movements in the value of the service provider’s currency against your country’s currency. Until final payment of the contract price is received by us, you assume the risk of all currency movements.
2.5 Dynamic Cabin Pricing;
Cabin prices on board a number of iExpedition's vessels are dynamic, that is the pricing structure is determined by the ship on the basis of fluctuations in inventory levels and exchange rates. Cabin prices on these vessels are not guaranteed and are subject to change and availability at the operator's discretion. Ships which feature dynamic pricing in the iExpedition product range include, but are not limited to the Fram, Roald Amundsen, Fridtjof Nansen, La Boreal, Le Lyrial, Le Soleal, Le Laperouse, Le Champlain, Endeavor, Silver Cloud, and Silver Explorer. Please contact iExpedition for confirmation of cabin pricing, and any queries you may have.
Deposit
3.1 At the time of booking you must pay a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the price for the tour. A booking will not be confirmed until iExpedition has confirmed the acceptance of the booking and receipt of the deposit.
3.2 Should your booking be made less than 125 days before the departure date the entire contract price must be paid at the time of booking.
3.3 Some of iExpedition's cruise partners may have varying deposit and payment terms, this is particularly true of smaller operators. iExpedition reserves the right to deviate our standard terms to be in-line with partners terms where the above terms are not suitable.
Payments
4.1.1 You must pay the balance of the price of the tour not less than 125 days before the departure date of your cruise, as stated on your invoice
4.1.2 Should the balance of the tour price not be paid in accordance with the above requirement, then iExpedition may cancel your booking with no refund due.
4.1.3 Some of iExpedition's cruise partners may have varying deposit and payment terms, this is particularly true of smaller operators. iExpedition reserves the right to deviate our standard terms to be in-line with partners terms where the above terms are not suitable.
Payment methods
The payment methods accepted for each stage of your Booking are set out in these Terms and may also be specified in your Quote, Invoice or Booking Confirmation.
iExpedition accepts only Visa, Mastercard and American Express card payments. iExpedition does not accept Diners Club, UnionPay or any other card scheme unless expressly agreed in writing.
Unless iExpedition expressly agrees otherwise in writing:
(a) the service provider-required initial deposit may be paid using an accepted Visa, Mastercard or American Express card or by an approved bank-to-bank payment method; and
(b) the Final Balance must be paid using an approved bank-to-bank payment method.
The availability of a payment method for the initial deposit does not mean that the same payment method will be accepted for the Final Balance or any subsequent payment.
Subject to the payment instructions contained in your Quote, Invoice or Booking Confirmation, iExpedition accepts the following bank-to-bank payment methods:
For payments originating in Australia:
(a) electronic funds transfer, or EFT;
(b) BPAY; and
(c) PayID.
For payments originating in the United States:
(a) domestic wire transfer; and
(b) ACH transfer.
For payments originating in most other countries:
(a) bank transfer in an available local currency; or
(b) international bank transfer in United States dollars.
The availability of a particular currency, receiving account or transfer method may depend on the customer’s location, the invoiced currency and the banking facilities available to iExpedition.
You must use the account details and payment reference provided on your current Invoice or Booking Confirmation.
An accepted Visa, Mastercard or American Express card may be used to pay the service provider-required initial deposit specified in your Quote, Invoice or Booking Confirmation, ordinarily 25% of the Booking price.
iExpedition does not impose a card-payment surcharge on a card payment that it accepts for deposit payments.
If a Travel service provider requires a different deposit amount or payment arrangement greater than 25%, iExpedition Pty Ltd reserves its right to increase the deposit amount to the required value by the service provider.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and all other credit and debit cards are not accepted by iExpedition for payment of the Final Balance or for any payment after the initial deposit, unless iExpedition expressly agrees otherwise in writing before accepting that payment.
The Final Balance must be paid using one of the approved bank-to-bank payment methods specified in clause 4.2.1 and on your Invoice or Booking Confirmation.
An exceptional agreement by iExpedition to accept a card for a particular payment does not create an obligation to accept a card for any other payment or Booking.
Payment is made only when iExpedition receives cleared funds for the full amount due, in the invoiced currency, into the account nominated by iExpedition.
You must initiate payment sufficiently early to ensure cleared funds are received by the payment due date. Processing times imposed by banks, foreign-exchange providers or payment intermediaries do not extend the due date.
You must include the payment reference specified on your Invoice so that the payment can be identified and allocated to your Booking.
If the full amount is not received by the due date, iExpedition may exercise its rights under clause 4.1.2, including cancellation of the Booking, subject to applicable law.
(a) Mandatory verification
Before making any bank-to-bank payment, you must carefully check the payment instructions against these Terms and your Booking documents.
Before making a payment of AUD$1,000 or more, or the equivalent in another currency, you must independently verify iExpedition’s bank-account details by calling iExpedition using the telephone number published on the iExpedition website. You must not use a telephone number contained only in an email, invoice, attachment, text message or other payment communication.
During the call, you must confirm the account name, bank name, currency and relevant BSB, account number, routing number, SWIFT code or other account identifier.
(b) Changes to bank-account details
iExpedition will not change its bank-account details solely by email.
An email, invoice, attachment, message or other electronic communication purporting to provide new, changed or replacement bank-account details is not effective notice of a change and must not be relied upon unless the change has been independently verified by telephone in accordance with clause 4.2.5(a).
Replying to the email that contains the changed payment instructions is not independent verification, even if the reply appears to come from an iExpedition email address.
(c) Mandatory test payment
Before transferring a bank-to-bank payment of AUD$1,000 or more, or the equivalent in another currency, you must:
transfer a small payment of a random value selected by you;
contact iExpedition by telephone using the number published on the iExpedition website;
ask iExpedition to confirm the exact amount received and the account into which it was received; and
not transfer the remaining balance until iExpedition has provided that confirmation.
Confirmation by email alone is insufficient for the purposes of this clause.
A verified test payment received by iExpedition will be credited towards the amount payable for your Booking.
(d) When payment is received
Payment is made to iExpedition only when cleared funds are received into a bank account owned or controlled by iExpedition and nominated or independently verified in accordance with this clause.
Payment into any other account, including an account identified in a forged, intercepted, altered or fraudulent invoice, email, attachment or communication, does not constitute payment to iExpedition and does not discharge the amount owing.
(e) Failure to follow the verification procedure
To the extent permitted by law, if you fail to comply with the mandatory verification requirements in this clause and funds are transferred to an account that is not owned or controlled by iExpedition:
the amount owing to iExpedition remains unpaid;
you remain responsible for paying the amount owing by its due date;
any delay in recovering the misdirected funds does not extend the payment due date unless iExpedition agrees otherwise in writing; and
you are responsible for the resulting loss to the extent that the loss was caused or contributed to by your failure to follow the mandatory verification requirements.
(f) Responsibilities of iExpedition
iExpedition will take reasonable measures to protect its systems and payment communications and will comply with the verification procedure described in this clause.
The allocation of responsibility in clause 4.2.5(e) does not apply to the extent that the loss was caused or contributed to by:
fraud or wilful misconduct by iExpedition or its personnel;
iExpedition’s failure to follow the verification procedure in this clause;
iExpedition providing incorrect payment information during an independently verified telephone call;
iExpedition’s negligence, where liability cannot lawfully be excluded; or
conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
(g) Suspected fraud
If either party suspects that payment instructions or communications have been compromised, that party must notify the other promptly. The customer must also contact their bank or payment provider immediately and take all reasonable steps to stop, trace or recover the payment.
iExpedition may suspend or replace payment instructions while suspected fraud is investigated. Any recovered amount received by iExpedition will be credited against the outstanding amount or returned where appropriate.
(h) Non-excludable rights
Nothing in this clause excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, remedy or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.
You must arrange payment so that iExpedition receives the full invoiced amount in the invoiced currency.
Any fee or deduction imposed by your bank, correspondent bank, intermediary bank, foreign-exchange provider or other transfer provider is your responsibility.
If a bank or payment provider deducts an amount before the funds reach iExpedition, the resulting shortfall remains payable by the payment due date.
These third-party charges are not fees imposed by iExpedition because you selected a particular payment method.
You warrant that you are authorised to use any card, bank account or payment facility provided for your Booking.
iExpedition may request identification, payment authority or fraud-prevention information and may decline, suspend or reverse a payment where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, card-scheme requirements, payment-provider requirements or reasonable fraud and security controls.
Nothing in these Terms requires you to waive a chargeback, consumer guarantee or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
If you believe a payment was unauthorised or incorrectly processed, you must notify iExpedition promptly so that the matter can be investigated.
To the extent permitted by law, iExpedition may add, withdraw, suspend or change an accepted payment method where reasonably necessary because of:
(a) a change in applicable law, regulation or regulatory guidance;
(b) a change to the rules, requirements or operation of a card scheme, bank, payment service provider or acquiring provider;
(c) a payment method becoming unavailable, insecure or materially exposed to fraud, chargeback or cybersecurity risk;
(d) a material change in the cost or commercial conditions of providing that payment method arising after the Booking was accepted and outside iExpedition’s reasonable control; or
(e) another circumstance outside iExpedition’s reasonable control that materially affects its ability to provide that payment method.
In exercising this right, iExpedition will:
(a) act reasonably and in good faith;
(b) provide as much prior written notice as is reasonably practicable;
(c) provide at least one reasonable fee-free electronic method by which the payment can be made;
(d) not increase the agreed Booking price merely because a payment method is withdrawn; and
(e) not bring forward the payment due date unless reasonably necessary to allow cleared funds to reach the relevant Travel service provider by its payment deadline.
A change made under this clause does not entitle you to cancel the Booking, withhold payment or receive a refund where iExpedition has provided a reasonable alternative payment method and the Travel Services remain available.
If you reasonably cannot use the alternative payment method offered, you must notify iExpedition promptly and before the payment due date so that another available bank-to-bank arrangement can be considered.
Where a refund is due, iExpedition may return it to the original payment method or to another verified account held in the payer’s name.
If you cancel a confirmed Booking, any refund will be determined in accordance with the cancellation provisions of these Terms and the applicable Travel service provider’s conditions.
Subject to applicable law:
(a) iExpedition is not required to refund an amount that has been paid or committed to a Travel service provider and which the Travel service provider does not return or credit to iExpedition;
(b) iExpedition is not required to commence legal proceedings or incur disproportionate recovery costs against a Travel service provider in order to obtain a refund;
(c) any refund will be limited to the amount actually recovered or recoverable by iExpedition from the relevant Travel service provider, less any cancellation charges, non-refundable service provider amounts and other deductions permitted under these Terms;
(d) iExpedition may retain the portion of its commission, fees or other remuneration that has been earned for services already performed in arranging, administering and cancelling the Booking, to the extent disclosed in these Terms and permitted by law; and
(e) iExpedition is not required to use its own funds to reimburse a customer for an amount retained or not returned by a Travel service provider.
Any amount retained by iExpedition must be reasonable having regard to the services performed, the work undertaken, the stage of the Booking and the loss or costs incurred by iExpedition.
If a booking request is not accepted because the requested cabin is unavailable, iExpedition will return the payment received to the original payment method without deducting commission or a cancellation fee.
Nothing in this clause excludes, restricts or modifies:
(a) a consumer guarantee;
(b) a refund or other remedy required under the Australian Consumer Law; or
(c) any other right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
(a) New Bookings
These payment terms apply to every Booking accepted by iExpedition on or after 1 October 2026.
(b) Bookings accepted before 1 October 2026
Subject to clauses 4.2.10(f) and 4.2.10(g), where a Booking was accepted before 1 October 2026 and any Final Balance is payable on or after that date, iExpedition will no longer make payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or any other credit, debit or charge card available as a payment method for that Final Balance.
The Final Balance must instead be paid using one of the bank-to-bank payment methods nominated by iExpedition, including, where available:
in Australia, EFT, BPAY or PayID;
in the United States, wire transfer or ACH transfer; or
in other countries, bank transfer in the customer’s local currency or United States dollars.
(c) Notice of withdrawal
iExpedition may implement the withdrawal of card payment for a Final Balance by giving the customer written notice. The customer’s further agreement or consent is not required where iExpedition is lawfully entitled to determine or withdraw the payment methods it makes available.
iExpedition will give as much notice as is reasonably practicable and will ordinarily provide notice at least 30 days before the Final Balance is due.
(d) Limited nature of change
The withdrawal of card payment for a Final Balance does not change:
the agreed price of the Booking;
the amount of the Final Balance;
the date on which the Final Balance is due;
the travel services included in the Booking; or
the customer’s rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded or modified.
iExpedition will not impose a card surcharge, payment surcharge or additional payment fee merely because the customer pays the Final Balance using a bank-to-bank payment method nominated by iExpedition.
(e) Reason for withdrawal
The withdrawal of card payment for Final Balances is made in response to changes in Australian payment regulation, card-scheme requirements and merchant-acquiring arrangements commencing on 1 October 2026, including the removal of iExpedition’s ability to recover the cost of accepting card payments through a card surcharge.
The withdrawal is intended to protect iExpedition’s legitimate commercial interests from the material and unrecoverable cost of accepting high-value Final Balance payments by card and is limited to Final Balance payments.
(f) Customers unable to use the nominated methods
A customer who reasonably cannot use any payment method nominated by iExpedition must contact iExpedition promptly and before the Final Balance due date. iExpedition will consider the customer’s circumstances in good faith and may provide another reasonable payment method or arrangement.
Any alternative arrangement must be confirmed by iExpedition in writing and does not oblige iExpedition to accept payment by card unless card acceptance is required under the terms applicable to that Booking or by law.
(g) Existing contractual and statutory rights
This clause operates only to the maximum extent permitted by the terms applicable to the Booking and by law.
Nothing in this clause retrospectively removes a contractual or statutory right that cannot lawfully be removed. If iExpedition determines that the terms applicable to a particular Booking require it to accept a card payment for the Final Balance, iExpedition may accept that payment without imposing a prohibited surcharge or may agree with the customer upon another lawful payment arrangement.
Availability, Reservation & Booking Policy
5.1 You may reserve cabins for up to a 72-hour period without charge. Bookings held under reservation are not confirmed nor guaranteed.
5.2 The availability of cabins shown on our website is indicative only and subject to confirmation from our service provider. Upon receipt of a booking request and the required amount of the deposit we confirm the request with our service provider; and only when we receive confirmation from the service provider of the availability of a cabin, do we process credit card payments.
Delay or Change of Itinerary
6.1 Our service providers may, for a variety of reasons, change the date of departure or conclusion of the tour, the scheduled point of departure or return, or omit or change any stop whether before or after the tour has departed. You will have no right to any refund and iExpedition will have no obligation to you or be liable for any loss, consequential damages, expenses, loss of time or enjoyment or inconvenience in respect of such changes.

13.2 At all times, the decision of the expedition leader and/or representative will be final on all matters likely to affect the safety and well-being of expedition members and the trip. This includes any decision that the expedition leader makes about the client’s ongoing participation in the trip or certain activities that comprise part of the trip.
