Travel conditions for Travel North AS

Travel North AS (TN) arranges day and multi-day trips throughout Norway, primarily to the international market, but also nationally. Most trips take place with TN's own buses or buses that have been hired and approved by TN. Trips that go by boat or train take place with either hired equipment or public transport.
 

Common to all TN's trips is that we have our own guide/tour leader who takes care of all our guests in the best way, and who also ensures any changes of means of transport along the way on the trips.
 

TN sells multi-day trips that are all defined as package trips and are therefore included in the Package Travel Act. For package trips, the Package Travel Act will therefore be in addition to TN's terms and conditions described below.

1. General terms and conditions

  2. A confirmation of the booking will be sent to you by email.
  3. For day trips, full payment is required at the time of booking.
  4. For multi-day trips, a deposit of 30% is required at the time of booking, and the remaining amount must be paid no later than 30 days before departure.

  3. The prices include all taxes and fees that TN is imposed by the authorities.
  4. For multi-day trips, TN reserves the right to any price increases as a result of changes in TN's purchase prices or changes in taxes and fees. If the price increase is more than 10% of the total purchase price, the customer has the right to cancel the trip at no cost to themselves.

The customer is obliged to give notice without undue delay if the trip is to be cancelled due to extraordinary circumstances.
  3. TN has the right to cancel a trip if extraordinary circumstances arise on the travel route such as natural disasters, extreme weather, acts of war, dangerous and contagious diseases or other similar events. TN has no liability in such cases. The customer is entitled to a refund of all amounts paid.

9. Especially about cruises

  1. On cruises, we must comply with conditions set by the ship's captain and the local authorities. This may mean changes beyond TN's influence.
  2. The trips are dependent on the weather. We must therefore make the special reservation that specified schedules, excursions, etc. may be changed at short notice. Such changes cannot therefore be considered errors or omissions, and TN cannot be held liable for them under the Package Travel Act.
