Early booking discount?

RS used to offer a $100 discount if the tour was booked by the end of the current calendar year. Does this still apply? I see the $50 alum discount still applies.

Although the tours are listed, RS hasn’t yet updated their website about their release. Perhaps the info you are looking for will be clear when they do this?

I've booked a tour for 2023. There isn't a $100 early booking discount listed on my payment page.

In our favor though, the $400 deposit used to become non-refundable 30 days after booking, if I'm remembering correctly.

The Tour Conditions now indicate that deposits become non-refundable 120 days prior to the tour start date, as became the practice in 2022. So we've retained the booking flexibility.

I’m wondering how the alumni discount will work since many of us haven’t taken our 2022 tours yet. Will it be applied retroactive?

I’m glad the refund policy is the same as last year; relieves a lot of pressure. I haven’t firmed up my plans yet so can cancel if need be. The tour I want is only offered for one week in my timeframe.

The 2023 tour I signed up for yesterday included the alumni discount for the tour I will be taking in the fall.
