Is it a confirmed departure? The price quoted is USD$1216/pax. May I know what is the additional amount of $347 for?

The departure date 24 September 2026 is guaranteed. Regarding the payment, the price which has to be paid through the platform in 1050 Euro and there is a Local payment of 300 Euro, which is mandatory. So, the full package in a double room is 1350 Euro. If you are travelling by yourself them there is an additional single supplement of 270 Euro. What is a Local Payment? The local payment is a predetermined amount (usually 100, 200 or 300 EUR per person depending on the tour/country) which is mandatory on some of our tours to be paid cash to the tour leader upon arrival. The local payment is part of the total cost of the tour, it is NOT an additional fee. This exact amount is deducted from your initial invoice that you pay pre-departure.

Is there availability in november as well? If not, can you recommend other tours?

The only available date is 23 May 2025. At the moment we do not have other alternatives.

  I am a solo traveller, but I do not mind sharing a room with another fellow traveller. Do I still need to pay the single supplement in this case?
- Penguin TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  Yes, you need to pay the single supplement. In case we find someone of your gender who is also willing to share a room, we will refund you the SS fee. If we do not find anyone else, you will be accommodated in a single room.
