Situated on the Asturian coast, the city began as a fishing village nearly 3,000 years ago and has developed into an important port on the Atlantic coast of Spain.

Wednesday, 02 October – Our next port of call shall be Vigo, situated on the Northwest coast of Spain. Today’s optional shore excursion takes us to Santiago De Compostela, the capital of Galicia, Spain’s greenest region and is also one of the country’s most important sites for pilgrims. What began as a simple 9th-century chapel built in the name of St James the Apostle has grown into Europe’s most important shrine after St Peter’s in Rome. With its twin baroque towers soaring high above Obradoiro Square, this monument to the saint is a truly magnificent sight and its interior remains as it was in medieval times. You will learn about its history and see such sights as the Jubilee Door during a guided tour and will also have time at leisure to wander around Obradoiro Square and beyond, admiring the city’s many beautiful historic buildings. Thursday, 03 October – Day at sea. On such a ship there should never be a dull moment! On Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas, you are sure to enjoy every moment! Even just strolling through the Royal Promenade is an exciting activity. Obviously, you should try the numerous delicious buffets on offer throughout the day as we sail south towards the Canary Islands!

Adventure of the Seas ontory, there are breath-taking views along the island’s southern coast. Finally, discover the old streets of Ribeira Brava, a small town on the southwest coast of the island. Ribeira Brava was one of the first parishes of the island and was inhabited early in the island’s history. Saturday, 05 October – Today we shall visit the island of La Palma. Leaving the port we head to the pretty village of El Paso, located on the west part of the island and is perfectly positioned to enjoy some spectacular views over the Valle de Aridane valley and the Caldera de Taburiente crater. Small, friendly and undeniably Canarian, El Paso is one of La Palma’s great escapes. Our next stop is the Plaza de la Glorieta, not far from El Paso. We then drive to the northern part of the island - to the viewpoint “Mirador de La Galga”, situated right on the edge of two deep cut gorges. Continuing, we shall stop in the attractive little town of Los Sauces before returning back to the ship. Sunday, 06 October – This morning we dock in Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands and with a population of 700,000. We suggest you join our optional excursion, which shall pass through the island’s administration and commercial centre and capital city, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, before our coach heads north towards San Andres before climbing to El Bailadero and the Anaga Mountains, a sweeping panorama of volcanic peaks at the north-eastern corner of Tenerife. You will stop for photos at el Bailadero before continuing down to Taganana, one of the oldest villages of Tenerife, where you will visit the church and have free time. Your next stop will be the Pico del Ingls, from where you have a beautiful view of the north and south side of the island. Population is scarce in this harsh region but the road that runs northwards is a constant vision of stunning views over the island, pushing its way towards the Monte de Las Mercedes, a dense forest of laurel trees and one of the island’s most idyllic spots. Enjoy the rest of the evening on board this incredible ship. Monday, 07 October – This morning our ship shall dock in Las Palmas in the Gran Canaria, the third largest of the seven Canary Islands, located off the northwest corner of Africa. Our optional excursion takes us through the south motorway from Las Palmas to San Fernando de Maspalomas. After this, you will travel to San Bartolome which is situated next to the Tirajana crater, an incredible volcanic setting of steep terrain and abundant vegetation. We then continue to the town of Teror, located in the mid-mountain range of the north of Gran Canaria. Teror attracts many visitors, for a variety of reasons. It boasts an important history, has an array of interesting monuments and a beautiful natural setting but at the same time it is an important place for both religious observance and folk traditions in the Canary Islands. We then head to the capital city of the island, Las Palmas, and have some free time exploring the most interesting sites, including Plaza Santa Ana. We shall then return to our ship enjoying the wonderful atmosphere on board! Tuesday, 08 October – Today’s port of call shall offer us our final visit to the Canary Islands. Lanzarote is different, not only compared to the other islands but to everything else on this planet. The extraordinary landscape seems to be of another world. We begin by driving to the north of the island
before arriving in Haria with its gorgeous view of the valley of 1000 palm trees, a green oasis in the midst of Lanzarote’s arid landscape. We then pass by the village of Maguez, with the Volcan de La Corona (Volcano of the Crown) rising up before you, and a little further on, we reach the town of Ye after enjoying magnificent scenery of the group of small islands and islets to the north of Lanzarote, known as the “Archipielago Chinijo” (The Tiny Archipelago). We shall then drive to the south part of the island, towards Timanfaya which is one of the thirteen national parks in Spain. You will be amazed at the craters of the still active volcanoes. On the drive back to the ship we shall pass through the beautiful area where one finds the vineyards of “La Geria”. This wine producing area is a few miles inland and the wall of volcanic rock divides the apparently barren field but, within these walls, the vines flourish under a layer of porous lava granules which absorb the dew at night and provide constant moisture to the plants. Wednesday, 09 October – Today shall be another day at sea and so another day to relax and unwind! Sun worshippers may lay down on a sun-bed or deck chair by the pool lapping in the sun whilst the more active and energetic clients may enjoy the various on-board activities, games, sports activities and aerobic classes. As cruising is also a great family vacation the ship’s animation team offer special programmes for all our ‘sailors’, whatever their age – from toddlers till teenagers! Thursday, 10 October – Today we shall be entering the port of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal for our final excursion. We recommend an optional excursion visiting this city, also known as Lisboa to the native Portuguese and see why this city reigns above all others as you stroll along elaborate mosaic sidewalks and pass by the Monument to the Discoveries. One of Portugal’s best-known monuments is the impressive Manueline masterpiece, Belem Tower. A merger of Romanesque and Gothic art with Renaissance and eastern influences, the tower stands by the Tagus River at the point from which Vasco de Gama left for the Indies. Don’t miss the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, or Jeronimo’s Monastery. Friday, 11 October & Saturday, 12 October – Every day at sea is packed with activities, from deck games to entertainment. Indulge yourself in a relaxing massage, exercise or shop in the on-board boutiques. Take a dip in the pool. After a long day of activities and mind blowing cuisine, you’re probably in the mood to unwind and enjoy a bit of thrill-seeking fun. It doesn’t matter if your plans are to test your luck at a hand of blackjack or soak in the atmosphere at the lounge of your choice, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for - the day is yours. Indulge! On Saturday 12 October, you will be instructed to leave your luggage outside your stateroom in the evening as bags are transported ashore by Royal Caribbean personnel early next morning. Sunday, 13 October – Ship docks in Southampton at 5.30 a.m. Enjoy your last breakfast on board the Adventure of the Seas as your cruise holiday comes to an end and wait until called to disembark. A private coach shall take us to London Gatwick Airport and check in for Airmalta flight KM117 scheduled to leave at 11.55am. Expected time of arrival in Malta will be at 3.55 p.m.

Enjoy dinner and overnight at Lac Le Jeune. Sunday, 21 July After an early breakfast we start our drive to the Vancouver Cruise Terminal where following check-in formalities we embark on the Century by Celebrity Cruises. Once onboard you will experience a vessel shimmering in elegance and grandeur. Century will be your host for delightful dining and creative relaxation.

It features virtually everything you came to Alaska hoping to see, including rain forests, glaciers, fjords and white-capped peaks. All of which create a setting that’s perfect for viewing whales and sea lions. Being a day at sea, you will definitely have time to relax, enjoy the views and make the best of the amenities and facilities onboard. A chance for you to exchange conversation and pictures with your new found friends on board. The animators shall continuously keep you occupied as they would be organizing various activities throughout the day. Tuesday, 23 July - Our first port of call (by tender) is Icy Strait Point, located near the city of Hoonah, the largest native Tlingit Indian settlement in Alaska, and very near Glacier Bay National Park. Home to a historic cannery, the port’s connection to the sea is strong. Locals share the sea with humpback whales, orcas, dall porpoises, seals, sea otters, halibut and all five species of Pacific salmon. It is not uncommon to spot a humpback or an orca while walking along the shore. Wednesday, 24 July - Today shall be spent cruising. Relax in your cabin or go up on deck and experience incredible views of the Hubbard Glacier. This glacier is the only one in the world that does not move at a glacial pace! Quite the opposite! In fact, in 1986, Hubbard Glacier - the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent - moved an average of just under 5.5 feet per hour. Keep a watchful eye as you sail through the Yakutat Bay, as you may be a witness to geological history! Thursday, 25 July - Today’s port of call shall be Juneau, located at the base of grand mountain peaks and at the pristine waterfront of the Gastineau Channel.

Friday, 26 July - This afternoon the Celebrity Century docks in Ketchikan, the salmon capital of the world and a paradise for sport fishermen and naturalists alike. While the rustic boardwalk on Creek Street preserves a distinct historic feel, the town hums with new construction to keep up with the ever-expanding wave of tourism. Ketchikan’s name supposedly comes from the native term “Katch Kanna”, which roughly translates: “spread wings of a thundering eagle” and rightly named, for you only need to look along the water line and you’re likely to see many bald eagles on waterside perches. The 2.2 million acre Misty Fjords National Monument lies 22 air miles east of Ketchikan. Saturday, 27 July - Our last full day shall be spent cruising the Inside Passage. Glistening within Alaska’s Panhandle, this protected strip of water is a cruiser’s dream. As viewed from the sea, the towering glaciers, the brilliant blue ice, the emerald green of the virgin forests and the diamond-
bright waterfalls combine to dazzle all who pass along these shorelines. Flex your fingers and load the film. Bears, beavers, and other cuties have all been known to appear unexpectedly before the camera’s lens and the awesome aesthetics of Glacier Bay present no less than 16 glaciers to capture.

Brilliance Of The Seas Day 6 After breakfast you may wish to join our optional excursion as we explore the city of Helsinki.

(Important note – All clients who wish to disembark on their own from the ship must obtain an entry visa for Russia from the Russian Embassy). Today we offer you an optional day excursion of this wonderful city. St. Petersburg is rich in cultural heritage and a masterpiece of architecture that embodies the soul of Imperial Russia. In 1703, Peter the Great built a fortress on the banks of the Neva River and by 1712 a new city had emerged. Elegant façades, glorious cathedrals and grand residences were built along the city’s canals. The Hermitage Museum (incl. entr.) is one of the world’s greatest treasures and features more than 3 million exhibits. The bulk of the collection is housed in the impressive Winter Palace, the former home of the Tsars and one of the focal points of the 1917 revolution. Stroll along Nevsky Prospekt, the city’s main street for shopping and restaurants. Turning off Nevsky Prospekt down Kanal Griboyedova, pass by the ornate Church of the Spilled Blood. Also in the area one finds the Milkailovsky Park and the Summer Gardens, which are famous for the number of white statues of influential Russians throughout history. Across the Neva River one finds the Peter and Paul Fortress, one of the first buildings constructed in the city. All the Tsars, from Peter the Great to the last Romanovs are buried in the St. Peter & Paul Cathedral. Day 8 Another incredible full day in St. Petersburg! After breakfast you may wish to join another optional day excursion visiting Petrodvorets (Peterhof ), the town of palaces, fountains and parks which was the most brilliant of all the summer residences of the Russian tsars. It is located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland and was conceived by Peter the Great to rival Versailles in splendour and indeed, one could spend the whole day enjoying the extravaganza of the fountain display. Peterhof was officially opened in 1721 and has a commanding view over the Lower Park and the Gulf beyond. The Grand Palace commands a breath-taking view of the Grand Cascade, which is justly considered the chief delight of the grounds. We return to our ship in the afternoon in time for our departure in the early evening. Day 9 Today we shall be entering the port of Estonia’s capital city, Tallinn, so after an early breakfast we suggest you join our optional half day excur-
sion. We shall first drive to Toompea Castle, passing ancient walls, tower gateways. As we walk up Toompea Hill to Palace Square enjoy the view of the baroque Toompea Castle, now the residence of the Estonian Parliament and the lovely Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevski Cathedral, a dominating feature of Upper Town’s city skyline, and home to numerous golden icons and mosaics. From there we shall continue along Tallinn’s medieval cobbled streets to view the Gothic St Mary’s Cathedral. We then visit the Lower Town and visit St. Nicholas Church, which was first mentioned in 1315 and is dedicated to the patron saint of merchants and seafarers and continuing by the medieval narrow streets of Lower town to the merchants’ house of Hanseatic League. The ship sets sail from Tallinn at 5.00pm Day 10 Day at sea. On such a ship there should never be a dull moment! On Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas, you are sure to enjoy every moment! Even just strolling through the ship is an exciting activity.

General Conditions Cruise Tours / Cruises
Holidays in the programme have been planned and are operated by Orange Cruises Ltd (owned and operated by Orange Travel Group) hereby referred to as “the Company” and / or “the Tour Operator”. To ensure maximum client satisfaction, we want you to enjoy your holiday to the full and return both satisfied and relaxed, and above all, convinced that you have been given good value for money. The General Conditions have been laid out to ensure that the deal between the Tour Operator and the client is clear and fair to both parties. These conditions cover virtually every aspect of your holiday from the moment you book to the moment you arrive back home. As we want everyone to know where they stand with us, the General Conditions clearly spell out our obligations to you and your commitments to us when you book a holiday with us from our brochure. OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
1. Your Reservation Once you have completed and signed the booking form and paid your deposit of €1000 per cabin on and have been issued a receipt by your travel agent, the booking is taken as confirmed and it is understood that you have read and accepted the accompanying terms and conditions. We will reserve your holiday. Your booking is also taken to be confirmed in respect of all persons travelling in your party. 2. Our Price Policy Prices in this brochure are valid at the time of publication. It is possible that at the time of booking, the actual price of your chosen holiday may have increased from that shown in the brochure which we reserve the right to do. We guarantee that the price of your holiday will not be subject to any surcharge whatsoever. Once you have made your booking and paid a deposit, then the cost of your holiday cannot be increased, except in the case of substantial currency fluctuations and/or increase of taxes or levies and/or aircraft fuel increases imposed by airlines. A service charge of 3% of the cost of the holiday is being levied. The amount is included at the end of each programme together with the taxes. Prices for children are applicable for children under 12 years of age that are sharing with 2 adults. 3. Our Assurance on Standards and Assumption of Liability Our brochure descriptions are based on the information obtained from hoteliers and other service producers themselves. Hotel rooms and ship cabins are always small, (sometimes very small). The Tour Operator only work with hotels & vessels having single or twin/double bedded rooms. A room/cabin for 2 passengers may either consist of two separate beds or a matrimonial bed (which can also mean two beds pushed together irrespective of gender). Triple or quadruple bedded rooms are never available. A third or a fourth person wanting to share a twin/double bedded room, will most probably be given either a small extra folding ‘camp’ bed, a bunk bed, or a sofa bed, which will make accommodation quite uncomfortable. In America three or four persons wanting to share a room will always be given just two matrimonial beds, (separate beds for each person are not available). When two persons book a room for two, the Tour Operator reserves the right to either provide two separate beds or a large matrimonial bed. All hotels provided are not air-conditioned and no fans will be provided, not even during extreme heat waves, (unless clearly specified in the programme). Breakfast is only provided when specified and when provided is always continental unless specified. Lunches and dinners are always served on three courses. No choice of food will be provided; neither changes can be accepted (e.g. having meat instead of fish). Portions served are always small/moderate in size. When buffet meals are provided a choice is available. Drinks, including water, during meals are always to be paid extra. Use of minibar, telephone and T.V. in rooms is also chargeable to the client. Unless clearly specified all entrance fees to museums and shows, boat trips, metro or cable car are always extra. All optional excursions are extra and unless clearly specified they only include transportation costs by coach, entrances are extra and no local guides are provided. An optional excursion will only be operated if the minimum number of paying participants reaches 25 adults; if not the Tour Operator will have the right not to operate the said excursion and will be under no obligation to compensate the Client/s for not operating the said optional excursion; furthermore the Client/s cannot cancel their planned group tour or cruise because one or more excursions could not be operated due to either lack of bookings or for some other technical reason which is beyond the Tour Operator’s control. Prices are clearly marked in the ‘price box’, at the end of each programme. Only items listed under ‘Price includes’ are included in the package price. Please remember that brochures are produced months in advance and there may be occasions when an advertised facility or entertainment is not available during your particular holiday, especially if it is out of high season. Bad weather, essential maintenance or cleaning, lack of support or demand may all effect the actual availability of particular activities or facilities; So, for instance, can such things as local licensing laws, religious or local holidays, or local authority or governmental restrictions. Similarly, touring itineraries may have to be changed sometimes at short notice, due to weather, road or traffic conditions, mechanical breakdowns, police activity etc. Coaches are not air-conditioned (except when clearly specified on a programme) and do not have onboard functional toilet facilities. Swimming pools may only be heated in colder weather and the general standard of hygiene, public utilities, drainage, plumbing and services in general may not be the same standards as in Malta. Each group tour is escorted by either a Maltese or an English speaking tour leader who will be responsible for the implementation of the programme according to the brochure. The tour leader is under no circumstance responsible to carry out work (unless for emergency), over and above the official programme and is not obliged to accompany members of the group around shops, flea markets or theme parks. Cruise companies reserve the right to change the itinerary due to bad weather or industrial action, in which case neither the cruise company nor the Tour Operator are liable to pay any form of compensation for the missed ports or the change of programme. If any portion of holiday is cost due to natural disasters, bad weather, industrial action, war, government restrictions or any matter of force majeure, neither Orange Cruises Ltd nor its subcontractors can be held liable to pay compensation or for damages incurred. As a responsible Company we feel it only right to point out these possibilities, however unlikely. If you have a particular problem, please inform the hotel reception desk and/or our representative in writing at the time so that, if possible, it can be dealt with there and then. Having said all that, we want to give the following assurance about our liability to you:- We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure. You will appreciate, however, that we have no direct control over the provision of services to you by suppliers. 4. If We Change Your Holiday Arrangements a) Before departure date We plan our holidays to give you the maximum enjoyment. Although it is unlikely, we may occasionally have to change your holiday arrangements and we reserve the right to do so any time. For instance, Flight timings may change, a hotel may close down or be overbooked, we may have to amend an itinerary, or sales of that holiday may not reach a level which would be economical for us to operate. If we have to make any changes, we will inform you or your Travel Agent as soon as is reasonably possible before departure. b) After Your Holiday Has Commenced Very occasionally it may be necessary, due to unforeseen circumstances, to change a hotel or some other part of your holiday arrangement after your holiday has commenced, in which event we will do our best to maintain the overall standard of the holiday arrangements. 5. If We Cancel Your Holiday Arrangements We may occasionally have to cancel your holiday arrangements. For instance sales of that holiday may not reach a level which would be economical for us to operate (minimum number of persons required to operate a tour is 25). We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all the money you have paid us or will offer you an alternative holiday to purchase of comparable standard if available. In the unlikely event we have to cancel your trip, (unless for reasons beyond our control, i.e. industrial action, natural disasters, terrorist activities, breakdown of aircraft or ship etc.), the Tour Operator will refund you all money paid for the cost of your holiday plus, the following amounts as compensation (per person):Notification more than 15 days before departure nil Notification between 8-14 days - €25 Notification between 0-7 days - €50 6. Your Flight Details of your airlines we anticipate utilising are shown in the programme. The right is reserved to substitute alternative airlines and/or aircraft if necessary. Only flight timings are subject to confirmation and alteration. Our reservation system will show the latest timings as advised to us. Please check your flight tickets as soon as you receive them as they will show the final timing for your flights. Some flights may have intermediate stops en route and as factors effecting this are not always known before departure date we cannot always notify you in advance. Flights are subject to the granting of permits and licenses by authorities both in Malta and overseas. In the event of your flight arrangements being changed or cancelled as outlined in this section and sections 4 and 5, we accept no liability for extra costs or consequential loss arising, directly or indirectly, from any independent contract arrangements between the client and a third party. All flights are non-smoking.

7. Conditions Of Carriage Transport of any kind is subject to the conditions of carriage of the company providing that trip. These conditions are likely to embody the provisions of the law of the country of the company concerned or are likely to be subject to international conventions with government(s), any of which may limit or exclude the liability of the carrier (airline, coach, ship, etc.). YOUR COMMITMENT TO US 1. Booking Form And Deposits Your completed booking form showing all clients’ names as specified in your passport, must be accompanied by the appropriate deposit. No deposit is payable for infants under two years of age at the time of outbound travel. Holiday insurance cover will automatically be provided unless you delete the wording ‘YES’ from the insurance panel of the booking form. The person signing the booking form confirms that he/she has the authority of all other persons mentioned on that form to make the booking on their behalf and that he/she has already accepted the General Conditions. If you are booking a late-offer holiday any information and conditions issued in conjunction with that offer are also part of your contract. If in doubt you should check with your Travel Agent. 2. Balance Of Payment The balance is due for payment eight weeks before departure for land tours & twelve weeks for cruise tours (can be earlier for certain tours, ask at time of booking), or immediately if the booking is made within eight weeks from departure. If you book through a Travel Agent, you should ensure that you pay the Agent in sufficient time to allow payments to reach our Company by the due date. If for any reason the balance is not received by us by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel bookings and levy a cancellation charge as though there has been a cancellation in accordance with paragraph 4. If your chosen travel agent fails to pay in full (less the applicable commission) to the Tour Operator, the tour operators will be under no legal obligation to supply you with your holiday, so it is up to you to ensure that your travel agent pays the Tour Operator! Payments by credit cards are not accepted. No payments by cheque will be accepted less than 14 days before departure. As a norm we do not accept credit card payments, but if we do, we will have to charge you an administrative fee of 2% over the amount to be paid. 3. If You Change Your Booking Your booking can be changed upon request and subject to availability (rebooking). This can be done until 60 days before date of travel. O.C. charges the sum of €50 rebooking fee per person. Should you wish to make a rebooking after 60 days before date of travel, then booking changes can only be made, if at all possible, by cancelling the travel contract under the conditions stated in 6.1 and rebooking. Any form of alteration made to the date of travel, destination or place of start, accommodation, the cabin or mode of transport is considered as a change. 3.1 Replacements Up to the date of travel i.e. taking into consideration a reasonable amount of time for organisational matters, you may demand that a third party takes over all rights and liabilities of your travel contract. O.C. reserves the right to decline the third party should he/she not meet the travel requirements or should there be legal restrictions or an official directive against his/her participation. Should a third party enter the contract then he/she and you are liable as co-debtors for the travel fare and the additional costs caused by the third party entering. 3.2 Name Changes At time of booking all passengers names need to be submitted to O.C. Names need to be congruent with the valid passenger passports. O.C. reserves the right to pass on the service charges of €50 per person for name changes after the option is confirmed. Cancellation and rebooking fees are due immediately. 4. If You Cancel Your Booking You can cancel your contract at any time before date of travel. As means of proof, cancellations should be made in writing. Your cancellation notice is effective upon receipt by O.C. Should you cancel your booking or not commence the holiday, O.C. reserves the right to levy charges for made travel provisions and expenses incurred. When calculating the charges, O.C. takes into account the services saved and the possible other use of the services. O.C. may claim cancellation fees expressed as a percentage of the travel fare according to the amount of notice given between cancellation date and departure date, as listed below. Cancellation fees: Up to 340 days before: €100 per cabin 339 to 120 days: €1000 per cabin 119 to 90 days: 25% of the total fare or €1000 per cabin (whichever is higher) 89 to 60 days: 50% of the total fare or €1000 (whichever is higher) 59 to 30 days: 75% of the total fare or €1000 (whichever is higher) 29 days or less: 100% of the total fare or €1000 (whichever is higher) *or applicable deposit amount per person (2 years of age and over) whichever is the greater. Cruises bear a 100% cancellation fee if cancelled less than 90 days prior to departure. If cruises are cancelled more than 90 days prior to departure only the deposit is lost, unless the cancellation is made more than 180 days before departure in which case no cancellation fees apply. On scheduled service and charter flights, sea passages and coach transportation, the amount of cancellation charge shown above applies only in the event that any air tickets issued are returned to the Tour Operator, otherwise a 100% cancellation charge shown above applies. If the reason for your cancellation falls within the terms of your insurance cover, you may be able to claim a refund of your cancellation charges from the insurance company. In case of actual or potential outbreaks of Bird Flu, SARS, Swine Flu etc, or natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, etc., or political turmoil, terrorist activities, act of war in a neighbouring country, industrial action, etc., clients will not have a right to cancel their holiday without incurring full cancellation fees as specified in these General Conditions unless either the country that is at risk or hit issues an official state of emergency for the area to which the Client is travelling, or the Maltese Foreign Office issues instructions that disallow Maltese citizens to travel to a particular country or area of a country. In case that a trip (or part of a trip) has to be cancelled for the above reasons, the Tour Operator will try its very best to recuperate all the funds possible on behalf of its Clients, but the Clients cannot hold the Tour Operator responsible for parts of the funds or of the holiday lost as a consequence of the above acts. 5. Your Holiday Insurance We highly recommend that you take out for yourself and those for whom you book our recommended holiday insurance or that you arrange a policy yourself giving comparable or better cover under all sections. Insurance premiums will be automatically added to your final invoice unless the word “yes” is deleted. 6. Your Responsibilities a) It is your responsibility to ensure that you and those for whom you are booking are in possession of valid passports which are valid for at least six months after your scheduled date of return to Malta and any appropriate visas. Be sure to check passport and visa requirements with your Travel Agent well in advance particularly if you are a non- Maltese passport holder. Maltese nationals need visas for travel to a number of countries including the USA, Brazil, China, Egypt, Turkey and Russia and it is up the each Client to take care of his / her own visa for countries having such requirements. Should a visa not be issued, or withdrawn after issuance, or should a country refuse entry to a client for any reason (including invalidity of passport), the Tour Operator and, or his suppliers / subcontractors cannot be held responsible for damages or for partial or full loss of the holiday and any financial consequences will have to be borne by the Client. You are responsible for any charges, fines etc. that may be levied by authorities in Malta or overseas for non-compliance of regulations in this area and any such amounts will be recharged to you. b) Similarly, it is your responsibility to check with your doctor as to what vaccinations or inoculations are advisable for your chosen destination. c) Airline regulations state that women 28 weeks or more into pregnancy at the time of return travel must have a medical certificate of fitness to travel. d) You must be responsible for a reasonable standard of behaviour by yourself and by those for whom you have booked. We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a client if their behaviour is, in our opinion, or in the opinion of the airline pilot, hotelier or accommodation owner or manager or other person in authority, likely to cause distress, danger, damage or annoyance to other customers, employees, other people or to property. You understand that we shall be under no liability to pay any refund or compensation to, or costs incurred by, any person whose behaviour is thus unacceptable. 7. If You Have A Complaint We do our best to give you an enjoyable, trouble-free holiday, but occasionally even the best laid plans can go wrong. If you have a problem or complaint relating to the overseas part of your holiday you must advise in writing our tour leader, representative or agent in your resort at the earliest opportunity in order that it may be investigated and we have the opportunity to resolve the matter on the spot. In addition, you must notify us in writing within seven days (7) of the date of your return from your holiday. Because of the difficulties of investigating a complaint too long after the event, we will not accept liability in respect of claims received after the seven day period, and/or which have not been reported in writing to our representative or the supplier in resort.

To ensure maximum client satisfaction, we want you to enjoy your holiday to the full and return both satisfied and relaxed, and above all, convinced that you have been given good value for money. The General Conditions have been laid out to ensure that the deal between the Tour Operator and the client is clear and fair to both parties. These conditions cover virtually every aspect of your holiday from the moment you book to the moment you arrive back home. As we want everyone to know where they stand with us, the General Conditions clearly spell out our obligations to you and your commitments to us when you book a holiday with us from our brochure. OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU 1.Your Reservation Once you have completed and signed the booking form and paid your deposit, (which is of €200 per person on regular tours and €700 per cabin on Cruises) and have been issued a receipt by your travel agent, the booking is taken as confirmed and it is understood that you have read and accepted the accompanying terms and conditions. We will reserve your holiday and your booking is also taken to be confirmed in respect of all persons travelling in your party.
2. Our Price Policy Prices in this brochure are valid at the time of publication. It is possible that at the time of booking, the actual price of your chosen holiday may have increased from that shown in the brochure which we reserve the right to do. We guarantee that the price of your holiday will not be subject to any surcharge whatsoever. Once you have made your booking and paid a deposit, then the cost of your holiday cannot be increased, except in the case of substantial currency fluctuations and/or increase of taxes or levies and/or aircraft fuel increases imposed by airlines. A service charge of 3% of the cost of the holiday is being levied. The amount is included at the end of each programme together with the taxes. Prices for children are applicable for children under 12 years of age that are sharing with 2 adults. 3. Our Assurance on Standards and Assumption of Liability Our brochure descriptions are based on the information obtained from hoteliers and other service providers. Hotel rooms and ship cabins are always small, (sometimes very small). The Tour Operator only work with hotels & vessels having single or twin/double bedded rooms. A room/cabin for 2 passengers may either consist of two separate beds or a matrimonial bed (which can also mean two beds pushed together irrespective of gender). Triple or quadruple bedded rooms are never available. A third or a fourth person wanting to share a twin/double bedded room, will most probably be given either a small extra folding ‘camp’ bed, a bunk bed, or a sofa bed, which will make accommodation quite uncomfortable. In America three or four persons wanting to share a room will always be given two matrimonial beds or two Queen size beds, (separate beds for each person are not available). When two persons book a room for two, the Tour Operator reserves the right to either provide two separate beds or a large matrimonial bed. All hotels being offered are not air-conditioned and no fans will be provided, not even during extreme heat waves (unless clearly specified in the programme) and hotels may not have lifts. Breakfast is only provided when specified, and is always continental unless specified. Lunches and dinners are always served on three course basis. No choice of food will be provided, neither changes can be accepted (e.g. having meat instead of fish). Portions served are always small/moderate in size. When buffet meals are provided a choice is available. Drinks, including water, during meals are always to be paid extra. Use of minibar, telephone and T.V. in rooms is also chargeable to the client. Unless clearly specified all entrance fees to museums and shows, boat trips, metro or cable car are always extra. All optional excursions are extra and unless clearly specified they only include transportation costs by coach, entrances are extra and no local guides are provided. An optional excursion will only be operated if the minimum number of paying participants reaches 25 adults; if not the Tour Operator will have the right not to operate the said excursion and will be under no obligation to compensate the Client/s for not operating the said optional excursion; furthermore the Client/s cannot cancel their planned group tour or cruise because one or more excursions could not be operated due to either lack of bookings or for some other technical reason which is beyond the Tour Operator’s control. Prices are clearly marked in the ‘price box’, at the end of each programme. Only items listed under ‘Price includes’ are included in the package price. Please remember that brochures are produced months in advance and there may be occasions when an advertised facility or entertainment is not available during your particular holiday, especially if it is out of high season. Bad weather, essential maintenance or cleaning, lack of support or demand may all effect the actual availability of particular activities or facilities; So, for instance, can such things as local licensing laws, religious or local holidays, or local authority or governmental restrictions. Similarly, touring itineraries may have to be changed sometimes at short notice, due to weather, road or traffic conditions, mechanical breakdowns, police activity etc. Coaches are not air-conditioned (except when clearly specified on a programme) and do not have onboard functional toilet facilities. Swimming pools may only be heated in colder weather and the general standard of hygiene, public utilities, drainage, plumbing and services in general may not be the same standards as in Malta. Each group tour is escorted by either a Maltese or an English speaking tour leader who will be responsible for the implementation of the programme according to the brochure. The tour leader is under no circumstance responsible to carry out work (unless for emergency), over and above the official programme and is not obliged to accompany members of the group around shops, flea markets or theme parks. Cruise companies reserve the right to change the itinerary due to bad weather or industrial action, in which case neither the cruise company nor the Tour Operator are liable to pay any form of compensation for the missed ports or the change of programme. If any portion of holiday is cancelled due to natural disasters, bad weather, industrial action, war, government restrictions or any matter of force- majeure, neither the Tour Operator nor its subcontractors can be held liable to pay compensation or for damages incurred. As a responsible company we feel it only right to point out these possibilities, however unlikely. If you have a particular problem, please inform the hotel reception desk and/or our representative at the time so that, if possible, it can be dealt with there and then. Having said all that, we want to give the following assurance about our liability to you:- We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure. You will appreciate, however, that we have no direct control over the provision of services to you by suppliers. 4. If We Change Your Holiday Arrangements a) Before departure date We plan our holidays to give you the maximum enjoyment. Although it is unlikely, we may occasionally have to change your holiday arrangements and we reserve the right to do so any time. For instance, Flight timings may change, a hotel may close down or be overbooked, we may have to amend an itinerary, or sales of that holiday may not reach a level which would be economical for us to operate. If we have to make any changes, we will inform you or your Travel Agent as soon as is reasonably possible before departure. b) After Your Holiday Has Commenced Very occasionally it may be necessary, due to unforeseen circumstances, to change a hotel or some other part of your holiday arrangement after your holiday has commenced, in which event we will do our best to maintain the overall standard of the holiday arrangements. 5. If We Cancel Your Holiday Arrangements We may occasionally have to cancel your holiday arrangements. For instance sales of that holiday may not reach a level which would be economical for us to operate (minimum number of persons required to operate a tour is 30). We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all the money you have paid us or will offer you an alternative holiday to purchase of comparable standard if available. In the unlikely event we have to cancel your trip, (unless for reasons beyond our control, i.e. industrial action, natural disasters, terrorist activities, breakdown of aircraft or ship etc.), the Tour Operator will refund you all money paid for the cost of your holiday plus, the following amounts as compensation (per person):Notification more than 15 days before departure nil Notification between 8-14 days - €50 Notification between 0-7 days - €100 6. Your Flight Details of your airlines we anticipate utilising are shown in the programme. The right is reserved to substitute alternative airlines and/or aircraft if necessary. Only flight timings are subject to confirmation and alteration. Our reservation system will show the latest timings as advised to us. Please check your flight tickets as soon as you receive them as they will show the final timing for your flights. Some flights may have intermediate stops en route and as factors effecting this are not always known before departure date we cannot always notify you in advance. Flights are subject to the granting of permits and licenses by authorities both in Malta and overseas. In the event of your flight arrangements being changed or cancelled as outlined in this section and sections 4 and 5, we accept no liability for extra costs or consequential loss arising, directly or indirectly, from any independent contract arrangements between the client and a third party. All flights are non-smoking.
7. Conditions Of Carriage Transport of any kind is subject to the conditions of carriage of the company providing that trip. These conditions are likely to embody the provisions of the law of the country of the company concerned or are likely to be subject to international conventions with government(s), any of which may limit or exclude the liability of the carrier (airline, coach, ship, etc.). YOUR COMMITMENT TO US 1. Booking Form And Deposits Your completed booking form showing all clients’ names as specified in your passport, must be accompanied by the appropriate deposit. No deposit is payable for infants under two years of age at the time of outbound travel. Holiday insurance cover is of utmost importance and we strongly advise that all our clients purchase a reliable travel insurance cover. The person signing the booking form confirms that he/she has the authority of all other persons mentioned on that form to make the booking on their behalf and that he/she has already accepted the General Conditions. If you are booking a late-offer holiday any information and conditions issued in conjunction with that offer are also part of your contract. If in doubt you should check with your Travel Agent. 2. Balance Of Payment The balance is due for payment eight weeks before departure for land tours & twelve weeks for cruise tours (can be earlier for certain cruises/tours – please ask at time of booking), or immediately if the booking is made within eight/twelve weeks from departure. If you book through a Travel Agent, you should ensure that you pay the Agent in sufficient time to allow payments to reach our Company by the due date. If for any reason the balance is not received by us by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel bookings and levy a cancellation charge as though there has been a cancellation in accordance with paragraph 4. If your chosen travel agent fails to pay in full (less the applicable commission) to the Tour Operator, the tour operators will be under no legal obligation to supply you with your holiday, so it isup to you to ensure that your travel agent pays the Tour Operator! Payments by credit cards are not accepted. No payments by cheque will be accepted less than 14 days before departure. As a norm we do not accept credit card payments, but if we do, we will have to charge you an administrative fee of 2% over the amount to be paid. 3. If You Change Your Booking Should you wish to change your holiday arrangements in any way we will endeavour to meet your wishes to the best of our ability. A handling fee for any such change to your booking within twelve weeks of departure date will be levied, then we reserve the right to pass on any additional costs incurred over and above the standard handling fee above already charged. Where the price varies depending on the number of persons booked into the accommodation and you wish to change that number of persons, the price will be recharged on the basis of the new party size as shown on the brochure. Any increase in the price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation (e.g.: for a hotel room under-occupancy, changing from twin room to single room) is not a cancellation charge. A separate cancellation charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4 below. 4. If You Cancel Your Booking A cancellation can only be accepted in writing from the person who signed the booking form or in writing from the Travel Agent through whom the booking was made. The cancellation will be effective from the date it is received at our offices. In the event of a cancellation either for one or all persons named on the booking form, we will levy our scale of cancellation charges, which is based on the estimated expenses and losses suffered by us as a result of cancellations. The scale follows:Period before scheduled departure date within which written notification is received by the Tour Operator (for land tours) 120 - 61 days - Deposit 29 - 60 days - 50% 28 - 15 days - 75% 14 days or less - 100% *or applicable deposit amount per person (2 years of age and over) whichever is the greater. For the conditions of cancellation fees for Cruises (groups and/or individual packages) please refer to the respective brochure. On scheduled service and charter flights, sea passages and coach transportation, the amount of cancellation charge shown above applies only in the event that any air tickets issued are returned to the Tour Operator, otherwise a 100% cancellation charge shown above applies. If the reason for your cancellation falls within the terms of your insurance cover, you may be able to claim a refund of your cancellation charges from the insurance company. In case of actual or potential outbreaks of Bird Flu, SARS, Swine Flu etc, or natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, etc, or political turmoil, terrorist activities, act of war in a neighbouring country, industrial action, etc, clients will not have a right to cancel their holiday without incurring full cancellation fees as specified in these General Conditions unless either the country that is at risk or hit issues an official state of emergency for the area to which the Client is travelling, or the Maltese Foreign Office issues instructions that disallow Maltese citizens to travel to a particular country or area of a country. In case that a trip (or part of a trip) has to be cancelled for the above reasons, the Tour Operator will try its very best to recuperate all the funds possible on behalf of its Clients, but the Clients cannot hold the Tour Operator responsible for parts of the funds or of the holiday lost as a consequence of the above acts. 5. Your Holiday Insurance We highly recommend that you purchase our recommended holiday insurance policy for yourself and all other persons for whom you book or purchase any other travel insurance policy of your choice that gives comparable or better cover. The purchase of an insurance policy is entirely your responsibility. We are not to be held responsible in any way or at any time for any death, injuries or losses suffered by you. 6. Your Responsibilities a) It is your responsibility to ensure that you and those for whom you are booking are in possession of valid passports which are valid for at least six months after your scheduled date of return to Malta and any appropriate visas. Be sure to check passport and visa requirements with your Travel Agent well in advance particularly if you are a non- Maltese passport holder. Maltese nationals need visas for travel to a number of countries including the USA, Brazil, China, Egypt, Turkey and Russia and it is up the each Client to take care of his / her own visa for countries having such requirements. Should a visa not be issued, or withdrawn after issuance, or should a country refuse entry to a client for any reason (including invalidity of passport), the Tour Operator and, or his suppliers / subcontractors cannot be held responsible for damages or for partial or full loss of the holiday and any financial consequences will have to be borne by the Client. You are responsible for any charges, fines etc. that may be levied by authorities in Malta or overseas for non-compliance of regulations in this area and any such amounts will be recharged to you. b) Similarly, it is your responsibility to check with your doctor as to what vaccinations or inoculations are advisable for your chosen destination. c) Airline regulations state that women 28 weeks or more into pregnancy at the time of return travel must have a medical certificate of fitness to travel. d) You must be responsible for a reasonable standard of behaviour by yourself and by those for whom you have booked. We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a client if their behaviour is, in our opinion, or in the opinion of the airline pilot, hotelier or accommodation owner or manager or other person in authority, likely to cause distress, danger, damage or annoyance to other customers, employees, other people or to property. You understand that we shall be under no liability to pay any refund or compensation to, or costs incurred by, any person whose behaviour is thus unacceptable. 7. If You Have a Complaint We do our best to give you an enjoyable & trouble-free holiday, but occasionally even the best laid plans can go wrong. If you have a problem or complaint relating to the overseas part of your holiday you must inform our tour leader or representative in writing at the earliest opportunity in order that it may be investigated during your stay and we have the opportunity to resolve the matter on the spot. In addition, you must notify us in writing within thirty days (30) from the date of your return from your holiday. Because of the difficulties of investigating a complaint too long after the event, we will not accept liability in respect of claims received after the thirty day period, and/or which have not been reported in writing to our representative or tour leader in resort.
