Antarctica Cruise Drop — Terms & Conditions
Effective date: June 22, 2026 Last updated: June 22, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Antarctica Cruise Drop mobile application (the "App"), operated by Distill, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company doing business as ABC Trips ("ABC Trips," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you ("you," "your," or "user") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. What the App Is (and Is Not)
The App is a notification and inquiry tool. It alerts you to limited-availability expedition cruise offers ("Drops") and lets you request a hold on a Drop. The App is not a booking engine. Submitting any request through the App does not create a contract for travel, reserve any space, or confirm any price. All travel arrangements are subject to a separate, written confirmation and invoice as described in these Terms.
Travel itself is sold and operated by third-party cruise lines, expedition operators, and other suppliers ("Suppliers"). ABC Trips acts as a travel advisory and facilitation service. We are not the operator of any cruise, voyage, or expedition advertised in the App.
2. Pricing Is Not Guaranteed
Prices, fares, cabin categories, availability, departure dates, inclusions, and any other details shown in the App or in any Drop, notification, or message are provided for general informational and marketing purposes only. They are not guaranteed in any way, including as to accuracy, completeness, timing, or availability. Prices and availability can change or disappear at any time and without notice, including after you have viewed a Drop, tapped to request a hold, or begun communicating with us.
You acknowledge that displayed pricing may be incorrect, out of date, or no longer available at the moment you act on it, and that we have no obligation to honor any price shown in the App.
3. The Invoice Is the Only Source of Truth
Once a hold is successfully placed with the Supplier (the cruise line or operator), a final invoice will be generated and emailed to you. That invoice is the sole and authoritative statement of pricing, terms, inclusions, and conditions for your travel. Nothing displayed in the App, sent in a notification, or discussed before that invoice is issued is binding, guaranteed, or final in any way.
If anything in the App or in our communications conflicts with the final invoice, the final invoice controls. No travel is confirmed, and no price is locked, until you have received that invoice and satisfied its payment and acceptance terms.
4. Holds Are Not Bookings
Requesting a hold through the App does not guarantee a hold, a reservation, or a booking. A hold is a request only. Whether a hold can be placed depends on Supplier availability, Supplier rules, and other factors outside our control, including circumstances in which space sells out or pricing changes before a hold can be secured. We make no promise that any hold you request will be obtained, and a hold — even once placed — does not guarantee that a booking will be completed.
5. How Hold Requests Are Processed
Hold requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis according to the order in which we receive them.
In many cases we will need to reach you to confirm details or obtain clarification before a hold can be placed. We will attempt to contact you using the phone number and/or email address you provided in or through the App. If we are unable to reach you, or if you do not respond promptly, we reserve the right to move on to the next request in the queue. Because Drops are time-sensitive and inventory is limited, "promptly" may mean within minutes. We are under no obligation to hold your place in the queue while awaiting your response, and your request may lapse as a result.
You are responsible for providing accurate, current, and complete contact information and for monitoring that phone number and email for our communications.
6. Communication Failures Are Not Our Responsibility
We are not responsible for any failure, delay, or breakdown in communications between you and us, including but not limited to: emails (including confirmation or clarification emails) routed to junk, spam, promotions, or other filtered folders; emails blocked, delayed, or not delivered; phone calls that do not connect, are declined, or go unanswered; voicemails that are not delivered, not received, or not heard; text messages that fail to send or deliver; carrier, network, device, or software issues; and incorrect or outdated contact information you provided.
You assume all risk arising from any such communication failure, including the risk of losing your place in the queue, missing a Drop, or being unable to secure a hold or booking.
7. Push Notifications
The App's core function is to send you push notifications about Drops. By enabling notifications, you consent to receive them. Notification delivery depends on your device settings, operating system, network connection, and third-party services (including Apple and Google notification infrastructure) that are outside our control. We do not guarantee that any notification will be delivered, delivered on time, or delivered at all, and we are not responsible for any Drop, hold, or booking you miss because a notification was delayed or not received. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings, but doing so will limit the App's usefulness.
8. App Availability, Outages, and "As Is" Use
The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or available at any particular moment.
We are not responsible for any loss, missed Drop, missed hold, missed booking, or other harm resulting from any App outage, downtime, bug, error, maintenance, slowdown, failure to load, failure to send or receive notifications, or any other technical issue, whether on our systems or on third-party systems (including hosting providers, app stores, operating systems, and network carriers). If the App does not work, or does not work in time, and you miss a Drop, hold, or booking as a result, that is not our responsibility.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
9. Third-Party Suppliers
All travel advertised, held, or booked through or in connection with the App is provided by independent third-party Suppliers. Those Suppliers are solely responsible for the travel services they provide, and their own terms, conditions, cancellation policies, payment schedules, and limitations of liability will apply to your booking. ABC Trips does not own, operate, or control any Supplier and is not liable for any act, omission, delay, change, cancellation, injury, loss, or damage caused by any Supplier or arising from any travel service.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will ABC Trips (Distill, LLC), its members, managers, employees, contractors, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost opportunities, lost Drops, lost holds, lost bookings, or lost travel, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App and these Terms will not exceed [the greater of (a) US $100, or (b) the total amount, if any, you paid to ABC Trips for use of the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim]. Because the App itself is provided free of charge, this is generally expected to be US $100.
11. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the App. If the App allows you to create an account or save information, you are responsible for the accuracy of that information and for any activity associated with it.
12. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the App, including by attempting to interfere with its operation, circumvent the hold queue, submit fraudulent or automated requests, scrape or harvest data, or use the App for any unlawful purpose.
13. Privacy
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at https://abctrips.com/privacy-policy-antarctica-cruise-drop, which explains what information we collect (including your contact information and device/notification tokens) and how we use it. By using the App, you consent to those practices.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes are effective when posted in the App or otherwise made available to you. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
15. Changes to or Discontinuation of the App
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice, and we will not be liable to you or any third party for doing so.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and under the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado.
17. Entire Agreement; Severability
These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and the final invoice for any booking) constitute the entire agreement between you and ABC Trips regarding the App. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
