IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TRIP PARTICIPANTS: THESE TRIP-SPECIFIC TERMS ARE PART OF THE LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN PIVOT TRIP LLC AND YOU, THE TRIP PARTICIPANT. IF YOUR TRIP IS LISTED BELOW, PLEASE REVIEW ITS TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING OR MAKING ANY PAYMENT.
Trip-Specific Terms and Conditions
These Trip-Specific Terms are incorporated into and form part of the Pivot Trip Terms and Conditions. Terms defined there, including “traveler,” “participant,” “you” and “your,” have the same meaning here.
Some Pivot Trip departures, including cruises and other trips booked through third-party suppliers, are subject to the supplier’s own terms. For the trips listed below, the Trip-Specific Terms modify only the specific provisions of our standard Terms and Conditions described for that trip. All other provisions of the Terms and Conditions still apply, including insurance, liability, arbitration and governing law. If a Trip-Specific Term conflicts with the Terms and Conditions, the Trip-Specific Term governs.
When you check the box accepting the Terms and Conditions on your Participant Confirmation Form, you also accept the Trip-Specific Terms for your trip.
If your trip is not listed below, our standard Terms and Conditions apply in full.
Northern Europe & Baltic Cruise 2028
August 9–21, 2028
This trip is booked through a third-party cruise line, which sets its own payment and cancellation terms that we must follow. The terms below modify the sections of our standard Terms and Conditions noted under each heading. Everything else in those sections still applies.
Payment schedule (modifies Section 1)
A 25% deposit is due at booking. We’ll then set up a flexible payment plan for the balance, with up to 11 installments depending on when you book. Your installment dates and amounts will be shown on your invoice.
All payments must be received in full by the final payment date listed on your invoice. This date replaces the standard balance due date in Section 1. Bookings made after this date require full payment at booking. Section 1.1 (Payment Plans) applies in full, including late payment fees.
Cancellation schedule (modifies Section 3)
The refund schedule below replaces the cancellation schedule in Section 3. All other provisions of Section 3 still apply, including written notice and how fees apply to your full booking.
Refunds are a percentage of the total payments received, based on the date we receive your written cancellation:
- From booking through February 27, 2028: 75% refund
- February 28 – March 28, 2028: 50% refund
- March 29 – April 27, 2028: 25% refund
- April 28, 2028 and after: No refund
How to cancel
Send your cancellation in writing to trip@pivottrip.com. Your cancellation takes effect on the date we receive it. Refunds go back to your original payment method, less any credit card fees.
Sharing a stateroom (adds to Section 4)
Section 4 (Room Share Policy) applies, except that any cancellation follows the schedule above. In addition, if your roommate needs to cancel, we’ll look for a new roommate first and keep you posted. If we can’t find one, you can keep your stateroom by paying the difference to the solo rate, or cancel under the schedule above. Prefer certainty? Book your own stateroom at the solo rate from the start.
Name changes (adds to Section 8)
Section 8 (Amendments) applies. Name changes are also subject to the cruise line’s rules, deadlines and fees. If the cruise line’s deadline is earlier than ours, the cruise line’s deadline applies.
Transfers (replaces Section 9)
Transfers to another Pivot Trip departure are not available for this trip. Cancellations follow the schedule above.
If the cruise line changes or cancels the sailing
If the cruise line cancels or materially changes the sailing, we will pass along any refund or credit the cruise line provides. Section 7 of our standard Terms and Conditions also applies.
Protect your trip
Trip insurance is highly recommended. Our group policy covers medical emergencies during travel only. A separate trip cancellation policy can protect the payments above if illness or another covered reason keeps you from traveling. Ask your insurer about purchase timing, since some benefits depend on buying soon after your first payment.
