Once you have sent us your booking request, we will send you an acknowledgement of your booking request by email, at which stage either an immediate Hold deposit of 300 (EUR, GBP or USD) is payable by Payment Card and then credited toward the required Booking deposit, or a full payment is made at this point in order to confirm your booking.
