Tour Operator
All packages and related travel components have been arranged by Go Blue Tours, LLC (“GBT”), a tour operator specializing in spring break travel packages for college students. GBT acts as an intermediary between you and various travel service providers, including airlines, hotels, and ground transportation companies. GBT is not the direct provider of air transportation, hotel accommodations, or ground transportation services.
Reservations and Payments
Reservations and payments may be made by accessing your account online at secure.gobluetours.com or by calling (855) 224-6258 during regular business hours.
A non-refundable per person deposit in the amount described in the brochure, flier, invoice, website, or confirmation is required by the due date in order to guarantee your reservation. Final payment deadlines and amounts will be specified at the time of booking.
Accepted Payment Methods
GBT accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit/debit cards. You may make payments online through your secure account at any time. By providing your payment information, you authorize GBT to charge the agreed-upon amounts and acknowledge that all charges are subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Package Inclusions
All package inclusions are listed on your invoice and are subject to the terms contained in this Agreement. Package inclusions vary by destination, travel dates, and selected options. GBT reserves the right to substitute accommodations, airlines, or other components of comparable or superior quality if necessary due to availability or circumstances beyond our control.
Changes to Reservations
Any change to a reservation after payment has been received must be requested in writing by emailing [email protected]. GBT cannot guarantee that requested changes can be accommodated. Changes may be subject to additional fees, including but not limited to airline change fees, hotel rebooking fees, and administrative fees. No oral or voicemail change requests will be accepted.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
If you wish to cancel your reservation, requests must be submitted in writing by email to [email protected]. No oral or voicemail cancellations will be accepted.
All deposits and payments are NON-REFUNDABLE.
GBT strongly recommends the purchase of travel protection insurance to safeguard your investment. Your right to a refund is limited unless covered by an optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) travel protection plan.
Travel Protection Insurance
Go Blue Tours offers optional travel protection insurance through third-party providers. Available coverage may include Accident & Sickness Medical Expense, Emergency Medical Transportation, Baggage Loss/Damage, Travel Delay, and Cancellation Protection.
Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR): This optional plan provides a refund of 75% of what you pay Go Blue Tours (excluding the insurance premium) if you cancel for any reason. The CFAR plan must be purchased within 14 days of your initial deposit or payment.
Travel protection is made available at the first stage of payment and may be purchased online through your account. For full plan details and to file claims, visit travelinsured.com.
All passengers must have a form of travel protection prior to departure.
Refund Procedures
For US students, refund options are limited to claims against your travel insurance policy. All refund requests must be submitted as claims directly to the travel insurance provider. GBT is not responsible for processing refunds for covered claims. Please refer to your insurance policy documentation for claim procedures and timelines.
Special Circumstances and Custom Bookings
At times, a non-refundable deposit may be required by a vendor or supplier to guarantee a special reservation or custom arrangement. These deposits are non-refundable regardless of cancellation timing and are separate from GBT’s standard cancellation policy.
Airfare and Flight Details
Most airlines require non-refundable payment in full at the time of booking. Once flights are purchased, airline cancellation and change fees are the responsibility of the Participant and are separate from GBT’s policies.
Your exact flight details will be available approximately 30 days prior to departure. The dates of travel listed in your reservation are guaranteed; however, specific flight times and airlines may vary. GBT will not purchase flights until all passengers in a group have paid in full.
Alternate Airports: For certain departure cities, GBT may use alternate airports within the same metro area. Departure airports are assigned based on availability and pricing. Applicable metro areas include NYC (JFK, LGA, EWR), Baltimore/DC (BWI, IAD, DCA), Chicago (ORD, MDW), and Miami/Fort Lauderdale (MIA, FLL).
Health Protocols and Pandemic Provisions
Travel policies, entry requirements, and health protocols are subject to change based on government regulations, destination-specific requirements, and evolving public health conditions. Go Blue Tours does not assume responsibility for a Participant’s failure to comply with health protocols established by hotels, airlines, cruise lines, or government agencies.
All expenses associated with medical treatment, testing, transportation to medical facilities, quarantine accommodations, and changes to travel arrangements due to health-related issues are the sole responsibility of the Participant.
Proof of Citizenship
ALL NAMES MUST MATCH YOUR PASSPORT EXACTLY. All travelers are required to have a valid passport for international travel. It is the sole responsibility of the Participant to ensure their passport is valid, current, and meets the entry requirements of the destination country. GBT is not responsible for denied boarding or entry due to invalid travel documents.
Air Transportation
Fuel surcharges, government departure taxes, and other fees imposed by airlines are subject to change and may increase the cost of your airfare. GBT is not responsible for airline schedule changes, delays, cancellations, lost luggage, or any airline service disruptions. Airlines are solely responsible for their own policies, performance, and operations.
Hotel Accommodations
Hotel accommodations are arranged by GBT and vary by destination, travel dates, and package type. Room assignments, occupancy, and configurations are determined by the hotel. GBT cannot guarantee specific room types, views, locations, or configurations.
Security Deposits: Most hotels require a refundable security deposit at check-in via credit or debit card. Incidental charges (room service, minibar, damages) are the responsibility of the Participant and will be charged directly by the hotel.
Ground Transportation
The type of ground transportation provided by GBT varies by package type, travel dates, group size, and destination. Ground transportation is shared and may include airport transfers and scheduled group shuttles. Private or on-demand transportation is not included unless specifically listed in your package.
Optional Tours and Excursions
GBT has made arrangements with various third-party suppliers to offer optional tours and excursions at each destination. These activities are operated by independent companies and are subject to their own terms, conditions, and liability provisions. GBT is not liable for any injuries, damages, losses, or claims arising from optional activities.
Unused Tour Arrangements
No refunds or credits will be provided for any unused accommodations, flights, transfers, excursions, or other services included in your package.
Tour Cancellation by GBT
GBT reserves the right to cancel any tour at any time. In the unlikely event of a cancellation by GBT, we will provide a full refund of all payments made or offer alternative travel arrangements at our discretion.

Participant Code of Conduct

Limitation of Liability

GBT’s maximum aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Participant to GBT.
Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such finding shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Disputes and Arbitration
In the event of a dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement or the services provided by GBT, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding.
