Welcome to the Caribbean


Welcome to the

CARIBBEAN Blazing sunsets over Technicolor seas, teeming with nearly 700 species of fish flitting among 70 types of vivid coral. Trade winds that skim mountain peaks, breathing softly into lush rainforests. Palms rising out of sparkling white beaches. Ethereal cloud forests that float high above mangrove swamps, cactus scrublands, and vast savannahs. These are the images travelers to the Caribbean’s over 700 islets, reefs, cays, and more than 30 islands carry with them. However, the beauty of these paradisiacal destinations goes beyond stunning aesthetic; gorgeous landscapes and year-round sunshine are only the beginning of this region’s allure. To get a true picture of the Caribbean, look past what you see and tap into how you feel. Close your eyes and focus on the sound of steel drums and pounding feet as pulsing reggae, calypso, and other island rhythms echo through the night. Savor what cuisine spooned from a melting pot tastes like—a blend of African, Spanish, Asian, East Indian and European flavors creating a profile all its own. Let the joy and vibrancy of incredible festivals infuse your soul. Escape to a time and place a world away, with elegant hospitality surrounded by colonial architecture on romantic estates, or resorts that provide modern luxury at its finest. Together, these are the true lasting impressions of the Caribbean— the beautiful, unforgettable moments embedded in your mind and heart forever; an indelible mark from the sweetest of escapes.

Relaxation may be the prevalent theme at most Caribbean islands, but in Aruba, the focus of every day is to find the joy in each moment. Even the sun shines with a smile on “One Happy Island,” where light trade winds make 82 degrees the temperature of perfection. For perfection it is, for every travel style, from family—and sea turtle!—favorite Eagle Beach to glamorous Palm Beach. Deserts populated by cacti, curious iguanas, and ancient boulders call to the explorer within, and the craggy limestone cliffs, towering sand dunes, and crashing breakers to the north inspire awe and a sense of freedom. In the capital city of Oranjestad, refined Dutch colonial architecture steals the spotlight just minutes from the island’s fofoti trees and inquisitive marine life. Located in the heart of the Southern Caribbean, its world-famous festivals, international cuisine, and shopping are just hours from most American airports, making “carefree” only a short flight away.

Ringed by glorious offshore reefs, to dive this island is to love it. Protected as a marine park, the call of the sea is a siren song, with “drive-through” dive stations for tank refills set up between stone markers naming the sites en route. Park, and a literal two minutes’ swim takes snorkelers and scuba divers to complex coral landscapes and stunningly preserved reefs, guarded by charming seahorses. Meanwhile, kayaks are the transport of choice through Bonaire’s rare and pristine mangrove system. Above the clear waters is even more untouched beauty, with beaches just the right size for you and one more. Company comes in the form of darling donkeys or feathered friends at Gotomeer, where flamingos wing their way nightly to Venezuela. In Washington-Slagbaai National Park, prickly pears, guida cacti and startling rock formations are happy companions for a 13,000-acre walk.

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS Nature’s Little Secrets

One of the world’s greatest sailing destinations, regattas, chartered sailboats, and cruisers make their ways to ports across these 60 islands, cays, and islets once frequented by pirates. Among them is Tortola, the largest of the chain, whose northern coast woos with beaches like Smuggler’s Cove, Cane Garden Bay, and Lambert’s Beach. Picturesque boats dot them all, from which snorkelers drop off to treat with sea fans, parrotfish, elkhorn, and others in the waters that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island home. Meanwhile, Virgin Gorda wows with steep green slopes that tumble down to deserted beaches and remarkable geological formations. Home to The Baths, the yacht clubs, quiet coves, luxury resorts, and villas provide a multitude of haunts for discerning travelers. Privacy is fiercely guarded and respected in this “wilderness beach,” as dubbed by Laurence Rockefeller; consider a stay here the ultimate “Do Not Disturb” sign.

Consider this gem hidden no longer—leisure travelers have caught wind of this escapist’s dream. Puerto Plata’s sunny beaches and affordable all-inclusives already have their share of loyal devotees, and Punta Cana and Bavaro’s 20 miles of shoreline are hot on its heels. Dominican Republic is quickly building a reputation as a premier vacation spot—almost as quickly as the area is building golf courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo; full-service marinas; and, of course, mega-resorts that leave you wanting for nothing. Nearby, La Romana’s quaint Altos de Chavon enclave is an exceptional work of livable art, with shops, boutiques, a gallery, restaurants, amphitheater and more perched high above golf courses, polo fields, tennis courts and a marina. Not to be forgotten is Cap Cana, a luxurious community with an array of five-star hotels, and the capital, Santo Domingo, where modern hotels sit on the same cobblestoned streets conquistador Juan Ponce de Le—n once strode upon. Of course, these towns only begin to scratch the reef-studded surface of this stunning island nation, just coming into its golden age.

VACATION ENHANCING TOURS PUNTA CANA Reef Explorer Get to know the local sea life with power snorkeling, kayaking, or paddle surfing among the reefs. Ease any cares away at the hand of your personal masseuse, as you relax with a body massage or foot reflexology treatment as soothing as the seascape around you. Ziplines The ultimate in exhilaration, feel the Caribbean breeze rustle through your hair as you soar over canopied jungle, zipping from platform to platform for a bird’s-eye view of the mountaintop beyond. Saona Island Board a catamaran bound for the beautiful coasts of Saona Island, a natural swimming pool, and the country’s trademark pristine white beaches. A delicious barbeque lunch is included in your day.

This country’s resorts may seem to have it all, but one of the best ways to sample the beat of this island nation is to pre-book a tour.

Dr. Fish Wellness awaits on this three-hour cruise through Bavaro. Find your center with yoga and Pilates set to panoramic views of the ocean blue; then, should you choose, try out an electronic ionization machine designed to cleanse the body of toxins as little fish happily exfoliate your sandal-loving feet. Caribbean Buccaneers Be whisked away for an exciting adventure on the high seas aboard a colonial-style galleon. Join the crew as a gang of pirates spin yarns and entertains with a live show. Dinner among your new shipmates on a floating island completes the tale.

Consult your travel agent for more details on these and other tours.

Jamaica


To the north, Ocho Rios is a popular stop for cruisers, who visit to gape at the 600-foot Dunn’s River Falls; however, staying near Runaway Bay for a few days lets travelers explore the great shopping, gorgeous gardens, and birthplace of Bob Marley, or bobsled down Mystic Mountain or zip through the rainforest. Although Ocho Rios is called the centerpiece of Jamaica, the ”heartbeat” is in Kingston, the vibrant capital at the foot of the Blue Mountains, and the largest English-speaking city south of Miami. Here, a more sophisticated nightlife and cosmopolitan dining await those who are looking for a more up-tempo version of island time. However, just a day-trip eastward lies a secluded and rugged foil, with waterfalls, hidden caves, natural springs and hillside small hotels. Even further off the beaten path is the South Coast, with isolated beaches, 19th century sugar plantations, Georgian architecture, and jungle wetlands veined with rivers. Between them all are the experiences that make sure that ”you come back, mon.”

Affectionately abbreviated as St. Barts, this secluded nook was originally named by Christopher Columbus for his brother. Today, the most notable association made of this eight-mile island is as a playground for the world’s elite, where luxe villas are hidden in steep hills and beachfront accommodations put snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, sailing, and fishing within steps. Impressive yachts line the harbor in Gustavia, and fabulous duty-free shopping for the finest in couture goods is never far. Premier French dining meets fresh local seafood, and this European nation’s influence is apparent everywhere, with ingredients imported twice weekly.

It must have been with a twinge in Christopher Columbus’s heart that he left the place he named after the patron saint of travelers. With over 25% of its land designated as a national park, this island is a treasure trove of wildlife. Untouched dive sites teem with fish of every stripe and color. Mongooses, frigate birds, cattle egrets, and actual cattle roam this rare American oceanic rainforest—one of the only growing rainforests in the world—as vervet monkeys chatter above. Hikes to petroglyphs, Sofa Rock on volcanic Mt. Liamuiga, and the Valley of Giants satisfy adventurers. For all, a 17.5-mile scenic, seasonal train route—the only one in the Caribbean outside of Cuba—over narrow-gauge tracks is unforgettable, and UNESCOdesignated Brimstone Hill Fortress and eight others add even more character to the salt pond-specked landscape just minutes from the capital, Basseterre. With all of this, it’s a wonder visitors even make it to the swimmable golden and black beaches that make the island so alluring.

White coral and brown and black sands swirl together on the western and northern coastlines of this tiny island just two miles from St. Kitts. Like its sister destination, this too is an animal lover’s paradise. On the ground, shaggy donkeys wander with sheep, goats, and mongooses. En route to the 3,232-foot Nevis Peak, trekkers can encounter playful vervet monkeys; at the top, they’re rewarded with a native egret’s-eye view of humpback whales breaking through Caribbean waves, under whose surface lie reefs, wrecks, and giant nesting sea turtles. For a little land, the historical footprint of Nevis is sizeable. Relics of the island’s sugar plantations provide a glimpse of its past, and the birthplace of American statesman Alexander Hamilton—now a museum—gives visitors a peek at where one of our country’s Founding Fathers was himself founded. A lively musical tradition headlined by big drum, string band, and calypso styles takes you out of the past and into the moment.

Two nations, two cultures—one single celebrated island. On the Dutch side, rolling hills swell over 16 square miles, with Phillipsburg, the capital of St. Maarten, recognizable to frequent cruisers. Over 500 duty-free shops line Front Street, alongside more than 300 restaurants and 14 casinos. Down the avenue are 37 beaches with visibility of up to 100 feet at sites like the HMS Proselyte frigate, but non-divers are far from land-locked—sailing is a significant part of the culture, and cruises through lagoons to nearby islands and water sports are always available. To the French north, jet skiers and windsurfers chase the action of the seas, while fashionable visitors seeking modern culture find it in capital Marigot’s Marina Port La Royale. Historians can sample the past at Loterie Farm, where a former slave trail leads to streams, iguanas, hummingbirds, and Pic Paradise, the island’s highest point. For a literal taste of St. Martin, look no further than the fine dining of Grand Case, casual lolo shacks serving conch and other local specialties, harbor bistros, and, of course, cafés. ST.

Check-in times vary by carrier/airport and all participants are required to check with the carrier for the most current information. LIABILITY STATEMENT: Travel Impressions, Ltd. and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and representatives (collectively, “TI”), act as agents for independent travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase; and is represented in destination by companies organized and existing in that destination, including providers of transportation and excursions. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for your vacation. However, we do not accept and expressly disclaim any liability for the actions or omissions of these independent suppliers. If you find you have any dispute with such persons, however, we will give you as much reasonable help as we can in resolving a dispute. You understand and agree that TI shall not be liable for any loss, injury, expense or damage to persons or property resulting, directly or indirectly, from the acts or omissions of these independent travel suppliers, including but not limited to delays, overbookings, cancellation of services, cessation of operations, accidents, failures of equipment, or changes in fares, itineraries or schedules.

Neither Travel Impressions nor these suppliers, or their respective subagents, shall be held liable for loss or damage to property or injury of person caused by reason of any act, omission, defect or negligence by any other hotel agency, transportation company or party providing such services or facilities. All airlines concerned are not liable for any claim arising out of or in connection with carriage or other services or features otherwise performed or occurring in connection with this package, except as provided in the conditions of carriage for the airlines and the passenger tickets issued in conjunction with this package. TI is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer in connection with your air or ground transportation. All prices and features described in Travel Impressions’ promotional materials and website are subject to change without notice. Some hotel room photographs do not depict the standard room category. If any term or provision of this contract is held invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining terms or provisions will not be impaired thereby. INTERMEDIARY DISCLOSURE: Travel Impressions, Ltd. assists you in finding travel suppliers and making arrangements that meet your individual needs. We consider various factors in identifying travel suppliers to you and recommending specific itineraries. In this role, we are acting as an independent third party and not as a fiduciary. TERMS OF PURCHASE: Please note that separate terms and conditions dictated by the applicable supplier will apply to your reservation and purchase of products and services. You agree to abide by such terms and conditions, including payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the applicable supplier’s policies, rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products and services. You understand that any violation of any such supplier’s terms, conditions, policies, rules or restrictions may result in (a) your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation or purchase, (b) cancellation of your reservation or purchase, (c) your being denied access to any flights, hotels or other products or services, and (d) Travel Impressions, Ltd. debiting your account for any costs Travel Impressions, Ltd. incurs as a result of such violation. You acknowledge that you will be responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes and assessments arising out of your purchase of the travel products from Travel Impressions, Ltd. FLIGHT INFORMATION: Your travel agent will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue when we receive your deposit. Your flight tickets, which we dispatch when your booking is paid in full, or your electronic documents, will contain your flight information. All times are subject to change. It is your responsibility to reconfirm your flight times prior to departing for the airport. TI assumes no responsibility for any passengers making independent connections to flights booked through Travel Impressions, Ltd. Pre-assigned seat selection is at the discretion of the air carrier and may require payment of an additional fee. LUGGAGE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY: When you fly to and from your destination the Conditions of Carriage apply, some of which limit or exclude liability. The Conditions of Carriage are available by requesting them in writing from the carrier or by request at the airport. Some airlines do not cover damage to soft-sided luggage. The airlines’ maximum liability for loss, damage or delay to checked baggage is limited to $3,300 per ticketed passenger domestically and $9.07 per pound up to 44 lbs. per ticketed passenger for international travel. These limits will apply unless an excess valuation

is declared at the time of check-in. All lost or damaged luggage must be reported to an airline representative at the destination airport by the passenger before you leave the airport. Checked baggage taken from the terminal building at the destination will be considered to have been received in good condition and no claim for loss or damage will be accepted after baggage has been removed from the terminal. The maximum liability of the ground transportation company in resort for lost or damaged property is $400. Loss or damage must be reported immediately. TI does not accept liability for client luggage or personal property. Many airlines are now charging checked bag fees, payable directly to the airline upon check-in. Visit http://content.travimp.com/quest/ baggage.html. Please contact your airline for specific details. These limitations on liability are subject to change. PACKAGE PRICE: The package prices include only items specifically stated in the participant(s) itinerary. Certain secondary features of a package (e.g., cocktail party, free sports, etc.) are based on supplier policy and may be changed, added or deleted after printing of literature. Hotel has the right to substitute services or accommodations in similar categories for items listed in the literature. Foreign government departure taxes, fees and tourist cards may be collected at the destination by the respective government authority. Please be advised that certain mandatory hotel-imposed charges, including, but not limited to, daily resort or facility fees, may be applicable to your stay and payable to the hotel at check- out from the property. You may wish to inquire with the hotel before your trip regarding the existence and amount of such charges. The Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) has defined air transportation, tour or tour component as purchased when the full amount of that air transportation, tour or tour component has been paid by the consumer. Our intention is to provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect at time of booking. Pre-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package without full payment on the record) including but not limited to an increase in the price of the air seat, an increase in the price for the carriage of the passenger baggage, an increase in the applicable fuel surcharge, or an increase in a government imposed tax or fee may apply. If for any reason we have to increase the price of your vacation, including an error made in computing your price, we will offer you the option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the increase. Postpurchase price increases (increases to a vacation package that has full payment on the record) are prohibited except for those increases related to government imposed taxes and fees. Change fees do not constitute an increase in the price of an already purchased ticket, as technically the consumer is purchasing a new ticket for new travel. CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS: Special features offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel’s discretion. In the unlikely event that a major change involving a pre-departure change of hotel, departure or return date, departure city or destination becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible via the contact information in the booking. If you find the revised arrangements we offer unacceptable, you will have the option of cancellation without charge provided that you notify us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the change (or prior to departure date if notified less than seven days prior). In the event of a change, we will try to substitute comparable services, but in the event of complete cancellation by us or a supplier, or if landing rights are denied by a foreign government, the flight will be cancelled with a full refund. If the number of individuals occupying a room changes due to an amendment or cancellation, the remaining travelers will be responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of a change in the per person occupancy rate. If all passengers change it is considered a new booking and cancellation penalties will apply. Suppliers’ cancellation provisions on optional tours only allow a refund if cancelled with the notice required by the supplier - see the excursion company for the applicable notice provisions or to arrange a refund. To cover your cancellation and change fees, you may purchase the Cancel for Any Reason Waiver and Travel Protection Plan which must be included in the deposit or at time of booking.

Special restrictions and limitations for transporting Hazardous Materials and specifically Lithium Ion batteries, refer to www.faa.gov/go/packsafe for more information. In the event a carry-on bag cannot be accommodated in the passenger cabin and has to be placed below in a cargo bin for any reason, any electronic device or spare Lithium-ion or any other type of battery permitted in carry-on baggage MUST be removed from the carry-on bag and remain in the possession of the passenger in the passenger cabin. For further information, contact your airline representative. PROPER ENTRY/RE-ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Proper documentation is your responsibility. Requirements as outlined below may change, so see your travel agent or contact the consulate for the country to which you are traveling to be accurately advised of current requirements. The following information gives current requirements for United States citizens, effective at time of printing: Passengers of all ages returning to the U.S. by air from any international destination must have a valid passport in good condition, and passengers may be denied boarding by the airline if passport is damaged, mutilated, or has excessive wear. A state-issued birth certificate with government issued photo I.D., or a passport “card”, is not acceptable. If your name on your passport (or for non-U.S. citizens, valid travel documents) does not match your name on your travel vouchers/tickets, you will not be allowed to travel. All passengers

18 and over traveling within the United States or to any U.S. territory (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) require only a valid government-issued photo I.D. A passport valid for up to 6 months past the date of return is required for U.S. citizens traveling to certain countries. Check with the consulate or embassy of the country to which you are traveling for specific requirements. For details on how to obtain a passport, contact your local courthouse or post office. If you are not a U.S. citizen, contact the embassy of the country to which you are traveling to determine required entry documents. We regret that we cannot accept unaccompanied minors under 18 for any travel. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in you not being allowed to travel. DENIAL OF ENTRY: Certain countries have specific rules and policies concerning entry of travelers with criminal records. Anyone with even a minor criminal past may be denied entry into any foreign country or even entry back into the United States if you are not a U.S. Citizen. If you have a criminal record, it is important to check with the United States Embassy and the embassy or consulate of the country you wish to visit to ensure you can travel as planned. HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS: While most travel–domestic and international–is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve more risk than travel to other destinations. Balcony railing heights in Mexico are lower than the mandated heights in the United States, and also may be lower in other countries. Low balcony railings create a risk of falls which may result in serious injury or death.
