General Information and Conditions

• Tour Prices: Are based on costs, charges, tariffs, rates, prices, taxes, levies and exchange rates as at time brochures went to print. Should these change, the price of your vacation may increase. No surcharges in respect of cost or currency fluctuations will be made once payment for the deposit of your land tour is received. This does not apply to fuel surcharges and any taxes, charges or levies imposed by any government or their agencies, even if the tour is paid in full. In exchange for these guarantees, no refund will be made if costs are reduced. Please note that if the total tour price increases by more than 10%, passengers will have the right to cancel their tour within 7 days of notification of the surcharge without penalty. Prices are per person and are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

• Additional Cruise Charges: When booking a Tour & Cruise, in addition to your Tour & Cruise price, you will also be charged an amount for Taxes. That term, as used by cruise lines, refers to certain taxes, fees and charges imposed by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, including port authorities, relating to any aspect of your cruise or tour. If governmental action results in any element of taxes exceeding the estimates used by cruise lines for purposes of computing the quoted amount, we reserve the right to pass through the extra amount. Similarly, cruise lines reserve the right to impose or pass through fuel surcharges, security surcharges or similar incidental surcharges. No right of cancellation exists under either of these circumstances.

• Airline Fuel Surcharges and Air-Related Taxes, Fees, and Restrictions: All quoted land and air prices include airline fuel surcharges. However, as noted above, we reserve the right to recover from you increases in those surcharges. Additional, air-related taxes and fees apply. See www.trafalgar.com/taxesandfees for details.

• Itinerary Variations: Trafalgar constantly strives to improve tour itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary - we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. At certain peak periods duplicate departures may operate, and sometimes in reverse order in which case hotels may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. Trade fairs or other events occasionally cause changes from scheduled hotels. In these and in other cases substitute hotels may be used and will be of a similar standard and location whenever possible. On tours that include cruises the ship may be changed due to operational reasons. Ports of call on Mediterranean cruises may be curtailed if weather conditions do not permit docking.

• Extended Stays: If you have arranged with us extra night accommodation at a destination before or after your tour, please understand your stay will be at your sole expense as is the transfer from or to the airport. Regrettably, Trafalgar cannot provide free transfers to either the hotel or airport for passengers booking extra night accommodation before or after their tour. Please also be aware that if your extra night hotel is not the hotel where your tour begins, you will be responsible for your own transfer arrangements at your own expense. Additional transfers can be purchased from Trafalgar (see brochures for further details or your travel agent).

• Extensions/Land tours on River Cruises: Trafalgar reserves the right to reschedule and/or cancel land extensions or land tours if the minimum number of participants (20 people) is not reached or for safety reasons. If you cancel a pre or post extension ninety (90) days or less before departure, penalties as shown on the cancellation scale will apply to the price of the extension.

• For your comfort: Trafalgar operate a daily seat rotation system and particular seats on coaches cannot be booked. Also there is a strict non-smoking policy on board coaches; however, regular comfort stops are made on travelling days. Rocky Mountaineer and VIA Rail trains operate a non-smoking policy that extends to all cars, vestibules, washrooms, lounges and private spaces.

• Tour Cancellation: Trafalgar reserves the right to cancel or re-schedule any tour departure in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. If cancellation is made any time prior to departure* of the tour, Trafalgar's only liability will be to refund to the passenger the amount it has received for the tour booking. Trafalgar will try to re-book the same or similar tour and, where flights have been confirmed by Trafalgar, will attempt to confirm air seats for new dates selected, subject to availability. Please note that Trafalgar is not liable for any cancellation penalties incurred on any other travel arrangements including air tickets purchased separately from the Air + Land inclusive package.

Trafalgar cannot be held responsible if a passenger is denied entry for being unable to provide details to the authorities of such insurance. Trafalgar does not employ staff doctors or nurses. Should you need medical attention, it will be at local facilities, at your expense. Trafalgar is not responsible for any costs incurred as a result of medical services, or for the quality of medical care or medical services you receive.

• Complaints procedure: Should you have a complaint in respect of your vacation, you should inform your Tour Director/Representative immediately.

Things to Know Before You Go

• Passports & Visa: You are responsible for all visas, permits, necessary health requirements, and any other documents as required by laws, regulations and orders of the countries visited. All passengers travelling in Europe require a Passport, valid for 6 months beyond the conclusion of their trip, and with appropriate visas. All passengers travelling in the USA must be in possession of a machine readable passport and applicable visas. Some of our tours enter a country more than once, therefore, multiple-entry visas may be required for some countries. Please contact your Travel Agent or applicable Government authorities to get necessary travel information. It is the responsibility of each passenger to have a valid Passport and necessary visas, as well as to comply with entry, health or other requirements of the countries visited
The Operators and/or their employees and their agents are not responsible for passport, visa requirements, entry, health or other requirements of the countries visited or for any loss sustained by you for failing to comply with laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries visited.

• Plan Your Budget: You are advised to do this well in advance and be sure to allocate funds for special events whilst on tour, such as theatre, celebration meals, shopping and side trips and Optional Excursions, see brochures for details or contact your travel agent.

• Electricity: Electrical adapters are needed if you wish to take along a hair dryer, electric razor, etc. Most hotels in Europe supply 220 volts and 110 volts in the USA. Check with your local electronic store or department store to purchase necessary adapters for such appliances.

• Holidays & Changes: During local or national holidays abroad, certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing tours and shopping may be limited. In such instances and whenever possible; slight itinerary adjustments are made by Trafalgar to minimize inconvenience to tour members. If, however, your enjoyment might be diminished by such minor limitations, please check with the respective national tourist office before selecting a departure. Holidays, closing days and other circumstances may change the day of the week for scheduled "dining out", gala dinners, sightseeing and other activities.

• Additional Optional Excursions: With Trafalgar, you will enjoy many famous highlights as included features on your tour - at no extra cost. However, there is an exciting array of Optional Excursions which we make available to enhance your enjoyment further. These excursions are optional, and are offered at special preferential prices. They are available for perusal at www.trafalgartours.co.uk, but can only be booked once you start your tour, as many of them are carefully programmed to coincide with the best highlights available at the time of your visit. You can book and pay for them through your Tour Director, by cash, Travelers Checks, Visa, Mastercard or American Express credit cards.
