River Cruise Holidays.co.uk is neither a tour operator or a travel agent. We simply provide clients with links to other companies who offer travel related merchandise. Any bookings made through the links on this site are independant of River Cruise Holidays.co.uk and we cannot be held responsible for any problems that occur. We strongly advise customers to read carefully the terms and conditions of the operator they book with and understand them. At no time is a contract formed between River Cruise Holidays and clients booking through links on our site. Clients are urged to ensure that any online payments take place via the use of secure servers and that the information is processed and stored securely (see operators terms and conditions). Any questions or changes to a booking should be communicated directly to the tour operator using the contact details supplied when booking. River Cruise Holidays.co.uk cannot intervine on behalf of clients and we cannot answer any queries related to bookings. At no time does River Cruise Holidays take deposits or payments for holidays. Please refer to the tour operators terms and conditions for payment information. If a conflict situation occurs this must be settled directly between the customer and the tour operator and if necessary an independent third party and can not involve River Cruise Holidays. Complaints should be directed directly to the tour operator, however, for customer service purposes, we would like to be informed of any problems that arise so that we can take appropriate action that may involve removing the link from our site. River Cruise Holidays.co.uk cannot be held liable for any claims of compensation as a result of sales made through our affliate links. Hotel and or holiday descriptions are accurate at time of publishing, however some features/facilities may chage and differ from those shown. We endeavor to update our descriptions regularly. Please check individual tour operators descriptions for up to date and further information.
