By accessing and using the Unsold Antarctica website and services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our services.
These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our website and booking services. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and your continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any modifications.
2. Services Description
Unsold Antarctica is a registered travel agency specializing in connecting travelers with last-minute Antarctica expedition opportunities. Our services include:
- Aggregating and displaying available expedition cabins from various operators
- Providing expedition information, itineraries, and pricing details
- Facilitating booking inquiries and reservations
- Offering customer support throughout the booking process
- Providing travel information and resources about Antarctica
We act as an intermediary between travelers and expedition operators. The actual expedition services are provided by third-party operators, and their respective terms and conditions also apply to your booking.
3. Booking and Payments
When you make a booking through Unsold Antarctica, you agree to the following:
- All information provided during booking must be accurate and complete
- You must be at least 18 years of age to make a booking
- A deposit may be required to secure your reservation
- Full payment is typically due 90 days before departure
- All prices are quoted in USD unless otherwise specified
- Prices are subject to change until booking is confirmed
Payment methods accepted include major credit cards and bank transfers. Additional fees may apply for certain payment methods. Your booking is confirmed only upon receipt of full payment or deposit and written confirmation from us.
The expedition operator's terms regarding payment schedules and methods also apply and may vary depending on the specific expedition.
4. Cancellation Policy
Cancellation policies vary by expedition operator. Generally, the following guidelines apply:

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation coverage. Antarctica expeditions are particularly susceptible to weather-related changes and delays.
In the event of cancellation by the expedition operator due to circumstances beyond their control (such as severe weather or operational issues), alternative arrangements or refunds will be offered in accordance with the operator's policies.
