Cancellations
Cancellations must be in writing and clearly dated. Nonni Travel will make every effort to ensure the best protection for the client in case of cancellations.

In conformity with business practices within the Icelandic Travel Industry, Nonni Travel is obliged to charge its clients a cancellation fee at a percentage of the full price, depending on the notice before the first day service is to be rendered, as follow
Individual Customer - Notice of Cancellation
More than 2 weeks prior: 25%

Groups (10 or more) - Notice of Cancellation
More than 4 weeks prior: 25%
Less than 4 weeks prior: 50%

Due to more stringent cancellation rules of some of Nonni Travel’s service partners, which include airlines and hotels, refunds may, depending on the composition of the cancelled services, be lower than outlined above.
Cancellation by passenger(s) within a group may either result in a price increase for the whole group and/or a cancellation fee being charged to the passenger(s) who has cancelled.
