Canada & Alaska Experience an enchanting land of unimaginable beauty, thrilling adventure and unparalleled indulgence. Explore the breathtaking sights of Canada & Alaska on the unforgettable adventure of a lifetime with APT.

Uncover the wonders of Western Canada Majestic and vast, the breathtaking landscapes of this rugged region are nothing short of mesmerising. Blankets of everlasting alpine green line the edges of sparkling sapphire lakes. Trees cling to dramatic rubbled escarpments that disappear into inhospitable peaks from which the dazzling white of year-round snow glistens. Giant glaciers sparkle in the sun and waterfalls tumble eternally to an idyllic mountain backdrop as grizzly bears hunt salmon in rushing streams, black bears wander the forest, wolves howl, and elk, caribou and moose graze on windswept plains as rare bald eagles glide amidst rock faces that disappear into the clouds. Interspersed between these natural wonders are enchanting resort villages such as Whistler, remarkable mountain towns in the heart of National Parks like Banff, and the intriguing cities of cosmopolitan Vancouver and picturesque Victoria.

Cruise through the Alaskan wilderness Along Alaska’s Inside Passage, a land of mist-shrouded fjords, captivating tidewater glaciers, and islands teeming with life await. In the towns, spiritual totem poles point towards clear blue skies, and at Glacier Bay, majestic glaciers ﬂow from the ice ﬁelds of the north as tons of ice tumble inexorably into the sea in a spectacular and loud display of nature at work. Join us for a journey through some of the world’s most arresting landscapes.

We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel you must do so within 14 days from the date on your final invoice. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

Cruising - Cabin/Suite/Stateroom Selection APT will make every effort to assign specific cabins, cabin numbers or locations on the ship if requested, but the ultimate decision lies with the cruise line concerned.

If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday APT endeavours to provide you with all the services confirmed to you at the time of your booking. However, we plan arrangements a long time in advance of your departure date using independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc., over whom we have no direct control. On occasion changes do have to be made, and APT reserves the right to cancel or amend Holiday Packages/Excursions accordingly. If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us if available (if you choose an alternative which is more expensive you must pay the difference but we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. Please note that carriers such as airlines used in the brochure may be subject to change. We will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 100 days before your departure date, except for reasons of Force Majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. We may cancel your holiday before this date if, e.g., the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, of which you will be informed in writing (“Low Bookings”). If your holiday is cancelled you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (if you choose an alternative which is more expensive you must pay the difference but we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). If we cancel or make a major change and you accept a refund, we will consider an appropriate refund of your travel insurance premiums if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.

Limitation of Liability 1. APT agrees that the holiday arrangements it will make, perform or provide, as applicable, as part of the contract with you will be made, performed and provided, as applicable, with reasonable care and skill. We will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.

Please note that it is your responsibility to show that reasonable care and skill has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. 2. Our suppliers (such as accommodation or transport providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from our offices, (First Floor, Chalfont Court, 5 Hill Avenue, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, HP6 5BD or 0800 012 6686) or the offices of the relevant supplier. 3. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to the contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices (First Floor, Chalfont Court, 5 Hill Avenue, Amersham, Bucks. HP6 5BD or 0800 012 6686). Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out above. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted. NB this clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into for excursions or activities whilst on holiday. 4. The optional excursions are not operated by or at the direction or on behalf of APT or its employees or agents or any other persons or companies associated with APT. By taking bookings for these cruises/tours, APT acts as each optional tour operator’s agent. 5. On cruises/tours including activities such as but not limited to trekking, quadbiking, horse riding, electric bikes and swimming, passengers accept that there is a material element of risk involved. 6. In the event that you wish to make a claim or complaint against us, both the services that we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of the contract between you and us and the laws and regulations of the country in which the claim or complaint occurred will be taken into consideration in determining whether or not the services were properly provided. If the services provided comply with local laws and regulations, the services will be treated as having been properly provided, even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK, unless the claim or complaint relates to the failure to provide a safety feature which may cause a reasonable holiday maker to refuse the particular arrangements. 7. If you, or any member of your party has a medical condition or disability which may affect your cruise/tour, please tell us before you confirm your cruise/tour booking so we are able to advise as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements. In any event, you must provide us with full details in writing at the time of booking.
