General conditions

Arctic Sky disclaims responsibility for any loss, damage, accidents, sickness, or changes in schedules caused by weather, strikes, or any other irregularity outside Arctic Sky's control. Arctic Sky reserves the right to alter routes, itineraries, or departure times, without prior notice should the necessity arise. In case of any changes in flights (domestic and international), the passenger has to pay any additional cost caused by this when the service is provided (extra hotel nights, meals, transfers, etc.). We advise all clients to have insurance, as clients are on their own responsibility on optional tours.
