TOUR CONDITIONS

Your Study Program includes hotels, Israeli buffet breakfast and dinner daily; all tips for group services, full sightseeing, the services of an English-speaking local guide, and all entrance fees to sites as listed in the program. All taxes and surcharges in effect as of May 1, 2026 are included. If additional surcharges or taxes are imposed by the airlines or governments, any additional amounts will be the responsibility of the passenger. This price is based on a minimum of 20 passengers.

FULL TOUR PRICE will be announced and will include air from the US, and group transfers.

NOT INCLUDED are any expenses required for COVID compliance, personal items such as laundry; drinks or coffee with dinners; lunches, tips for personal favors; excess baggage and forwarding of baggage; transfers other than with the group; optional (but highly recommended) travel insurance.

YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS are based on First Class (4*) hotels using double occupancy in a twin-bedded room with a private bath. There is a supplemental charge of $1,350.00 if you prefer a single room. Individuals enrolling without a roommate may request to be matched with a roommate. In the event that a roommate is not available, individuals will be required to pay the single supplement charge. All single rooms are subject to availability and may be smaller than normal twin rooms.

PAYMENT: A nonrefundable deposit of $500 per person, is required to secure your place on the program. A second payment of 50% per person is due six (6) months prior to departure. Deposits received within six (6) months of departure require a total initial payment of 50%. Final payment (your full balance) is due to CTSP three (3) months prior to departure. Thereafter, a late payment fee of $100 per person per month will be assessed.

CANCELLATION POLICY

For travelers originally registered for the June 2026 departure whose reservation was transferred to June 2027:

Payments have been carried forward to the rescheduled departure. Because this is a continuation of the original booking and not a new reservation, the original cancellation timeline remains in effect. As a result, no refunds are available for cancellations from the rescheduled June 2027 departure.

For new registrations to the June 2027 departure:

●     91+ days before departure: Non-refundable deposit only.

●     66–90 days before departure: 50% of the tour cost plus the non-refundable deposit.

●     0–65 days before departure: No refund.

For all travelers:

●     If your cancellation leaves your roommate without a travel partner, you will be responsible for any applicable single supplement charges.

●     All cancellations must be be submitted in writing to Christian Travel Study Programs.

●     No refunds will be issued for unused services.

TRIP INSURANCE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Insurance purchased within two weeks of deposit provides the best value, and may cover pre-existing conditions.  CFAR (cancel for any reason) insurance is available from several companies, but can be quite expensive. Read all insurance policies carefully and choose the most prudent one for your situation. CTSP does not sell or recommend insurance policies or companies.

ITINERARY LENGTH: Flight itineraries are subject to change without advance notice. CTSP is not responsible for changes and delays in airline schedules and does not reimburse passengers for expenses resulting from delays. Because airlines often change flight times and dates at the last minute, CTSP strongly recommends that if passengers are purchasing any connecting tickets they should be able to be changed without heavy fees or penalties. If airline(s) change flight schedules, CTSP reserves the right to lengthen or shorten the itinerary accordingly, and whenever possible, you will be notified in writing. If changes necessitate extra overnights, you will be charged (per person, per night) US$180 double occupancy, or US$320 for single rooms (includes single supplement).

AIRLINE ARRANGEMENTS from the USA will be included in the Full Tour price. Air Transportation will be economy class aboard regularly scheduled carriers utilizing non-refundable, non-transferable, non-amendable tickets. Once your ticket has been written, it cannot be transferred, rewritten, or refunded.

YOUR LUGGAGE is restricted in size and shape by the airline, and is limited to one checked piece (max 50 pounds), one carryon, plus a smaller personal piece. You should check with the airline for the specific restrictions.
