FAQs - Planning & booking your holiday
To confirm your holiday booking, we need to take a deposit. If you are booking within 12 weeks of your travel date, you will need to pay the full balance of your holiday.
You should receive your confirmation invoice within a week of paying your deposit. You will receive written confirmation of your campsite and ferry bookings, followed by your confirmation invoice.
If your chosen ferry crossing is not yet available to book we will send you an acknowledgement; then as soon as your ferry crossing is booked you will receive a confirmation invoice with your final holiday cost.
Your holiday balance is due 12 weeks before departure. You can pay this by credit or debit card at no extra cost. You can also pay by cheque - this should be sent to Canvas Holidays Accounts Department, East Port House, 12 East Port, Dunfermline, Fife, KY11 7JG.
If you'd like to spread the cost of your holiday, you can choose to pay in 2, 3 or 4 instalments when you book and we'll take the agreed payments automatically from your card on the specified dates. If you'd rather arrange payment of the outstanding balance yourself, we’re also happy to accept part payments at any time, as long as the full balance is paid by the due date. Please call us to make any additional payments
Once your booking is confirmed we will send you an email with your booking confirmation and itinerary, this will include your ferry reference number. You will also receive a copy of these documents in the post two to three weeks before departure, along with any theme park tickets you have bought from us.
Driving directions can be downloaded from individual campsite pages.

Our non-refundable Breakage Waiver is £16.50, and covers you for accidents and loss of equipment in or to your Canvas accommodation. Even if an accident results in serious damage there is no extra to pay. The Waiver does not cover anything you take outside the campsite, for example kitchen items used for off-site picnics.
If you don’t want to pay the Breakage Waiver you can complete a Declaration Bond at each campsite instead. Signing the Bond means you agree to pay on departure for any damage caused to your accommodation and/or inventory.
