ABOUT US
We are Crave Travel, (referred to as “we,” or “us” or “our”).
CARRYING IDENTIFICATION
You and each person in your group are responsible to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa, and all other documents required by government(s) of the place(s) where you travel. The U.S. government advises everyone to carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight. The Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) list of acceptable IDs is at www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids. Name, date of birth and gender on the identification card must match exactly the same data on the airline ticket(s) and booking records.
Some countries refuse entry to a person whose passport expires within six (6) months of the date of attempted entry as well as not having enough blank visa pages. A person who is not a U.S. citizen may need additional documentation.
Children and infants are not exempt. All such travel documents are required for children and infants. Children and infants traveling with one parent, or without both parents, may be denied entry, unless authenticated, verified consents are provided to authorities in the format and with content they require.
Any failure to comply with these requirements and each country’s particular or additional requirements may result in you, children or members in your group being denied boarding on a plane or other vessel, delay at security checkpoint or other travel gateway, missed flight(s), missed other transportation, missed travel bookings on cruises and tours and/or denial of entry into a country.
For more information, visit websites of the U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection agency, https://help.cbp.gov/ and TSA, www.tsa.gov; and the travel website of the U.S. State Department: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html. Also get information on requirements for each country where you will travel; and check each supplier’s website to investigate what travel documents you, children and all members in your group must obtain and carry.
ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS
Each country has rules and practices regarding past criminal offenses, whether within or outside the country. Criminal offenses may include, but are not limited to felonies, misdemeanors and seemingly petty offenses, also including driving under influence of alcohol or drugs. If you have a past or current offense, whether recent or a long time ago, please directly contact authorities in that country for entry and exit requirements, also including if you are only passing through. Some additional information may be at the U.S. State Department travel website.
Agency does not control issuance of visas. You are responsible to assure that: all visas required for your trip are obtained in advance; visas for each country are valid for your entry and exit dates; personal details are accurately reflected; and your passport is valid for at least six (6) months after completion date of your trip. Issuance of a visa does not assure entry. Local immigration officials make final entry decisions. You or members of your group may be denied entry despite having a visa.
Denial or delay of entry into or through a country for any reason, and/or a country’s non-issuance of a visa, is not grounds for a refund as to any aspect of your trip.
Out of respect for privacy and other considerations it is possible our staff may not ask you about your criminal history. It is your obligation to open discussion of this subject and share this information if you wish to do so. Particularly if the subject is not brought up by you, it is your obligation to be aware of restrictions on travel that may result from any past criminal matters.
SAFETY
Personal safety is a concern everywhere. No place, even home, is 100% safe. Some places have greater safety risks than others. You are responsible to become and stay informed about places where you will travel, reading current news, reviewing travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the U.S. Government prior to and after booking travel. Information on conditions in various countries and levels of risk associated with travel to particular destinations can be found at websites of the U.S. State Department www.state.gov, TSA www.tsa.gov, Department of Transportation www.dot.gov, Federal Aviation Administration www.faa.gov, U.S. Centers for Disease Control www.cdc.gov, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency www.cbp.gov.

STEP lets U.S. citizens and nationals traveling and living abroad enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. STEP lets you enter information about your upcoming trip so the State Department can provide information on safety conditions to help you make informed decisions about travel plans, help the U.S. Embassy contact you in an emergency and help family and friends contact you in an emergency.
