You'll have to read the full Ts and Cs regarding your liability when cancelling.

It sounds as if you paid a much reduced deposit.

What was the total cost of the holiday?

How many people?

What is the date of travel?

Looks like they use low cost airlines which are non cancelable flights and will be charged in full. That also have lots of other cancellation costs and admin fees.

Quick glance I doubt many holidays would only see the deposit being lost without other charges.

Its the norm that if you only pay a tiny deposit then cancel the rest of the .normal. deposit is still due. Its usually all there in the small print along with info about your flights being secured at the time of booking so they are non refundable. 
It would be better to still go on the holiday considering the amount you would stand to lose.
