Introducing European river-cruising your way! This wonderful collection of holidays marry discovery and exploration of some of Europe’s most scenic corners with the enjoyment of life aboard some of the most contemporary and stylish river-cruise vessels afloat. As each wonderful day slowly unfolds – life on the river is always lived in the slow lane – you’ll discover something new to savour and enjoy. It might be the everchanging landscape viewed from the lounge or the ship’s top deck, a fascinating port of call explored under your own steam or on an organised excursion, the conviviality of drinks or a meal with new found friends, or simply enjoying the ship’s wide range of amenities – the choice, and the holiday pleasures – are always yours.

All-Inclusive, flexible, contemporary – the A-ROSA difference In addition to well-planned itineraries that mean, whichever river you choose to explore, you’ll discover new places and enjoy new experiences each day, your A-ROSA ship will be the perfect floating home-from-home throughout your journey. Amongst the most spacious vessels seen on Europe’s waterways – each being constructed to take account of the maximum allowable width on each river – A-ROSA ships are first and foremost oases of comfort and style. They offer plush lounges and bars, chic, well-appointed cabins and modern bathrooms, bright, airy restaurants and dining spaces, vast top decks that offer the chance of al fresco dining and drinks, a pool or whirl pool, games, loungers and the passing views, as well as an on-board SPA-ROSA and gym for the body-conscious. Why would you ever wish to step ashore? Drinks on board – including top-quality brands – are offered on an all-inclusive basis throughout the day, and mealtimes are flexible, allowing you to enjoy not only breakfast, but also lunch and dinner at your convenience, rather than the restaurant’s. With free Wi-Fi and little touches like a gift of a rose, complimentary bathrobes, pool towel, slippers, bottled water and toiletries in each cabin, a holiday aboard an A-ROSA river-cruise ship, whichever waterway you’ve chosen to discover, is guaranteed to be a very special experience.

Your river cruise includes • Your chosen method of travel to and from the ship, with transfers from the airport or railway station to the ship as appropriate • Full-board accommodation, in your chosen cabin, aboard your selected A-ROSA ship • All-inclusive drinks package, including top brands, throughout the day • Flexible mealtimes to suit you • On-board activities, amenities and entertainment • Calls at ports as scheduled • At least one included excursion

Beautiful Rivers Step aboard your A-ROSA ship and, in comfort and relaxed style, discover and explore the delights of Europe’s great rivers. Watch the scenery slowly unfold from a seat in a lounge or the top deck, and get to know the rivers’ different characters and charms, as you pass or call at a host of fascinating places that have contributed immeasurably to Europe’s colourful history and culture down the centuries.

The Romantic Rhine

Cruise Europe’s most famous waterway, on holidays that offer the best of the river, which flows north from Switzerland to the Low Countries, and which boasts delightful wine villages like Rüdesheim and Boppard, ancient castles, historic cities, including Cologne and Strasbourg, and some picture-book scenery, not least amongst the windmill-dotted Dutch waterways.

The Sun-kissed Rhône and Saône Journey on the Saône through the vineyard-dotted countryside of Burgundy and the Côte d’Or, then head south on the Rhône from France’s glorious second city Lyon, to take in papal enclave Avignon, sailing into the heart of Roman Gaul, to Arles, to the wild Camargue and the edge of the Mediterranean.

The Blue Danube

Ply a languid course through Central and Eastern Europe, on the broad sweeps of the continent’s second-longest waterway, the former border of the Roman Empire. Take in the glories of Imperial Vienna, Baroque gem Bratislava and Hungary’s twin capital Budapest, and enjoy some spectacular scenery, including Austria’s famed Wachau Valley.

The

Beautiful Seine

Wind your way to or from the glorious French capital, on a journey that takes in the verdant, orchard-dotted countryside of Normandy, and which is punctuated with visits to historic cities including Joan of Arc’s Rouen. Overlooked by ancient castles that bore witness to the turbulence of ages past, and inspiration to Impressionist painters, the Seine is one of France’s greatest treasures.

Some of the most exciting moments of any A-ROSA cruise come when the ship arrives in a new riverside port of call, and there’s the opportunity to step ashore. Join an included excursion or perhaps head out to explore under your own steam, either on foot or even on one of the ship’s bicycles. Whether it’s a daytime stroll through an historic old quarter, the chance to spend an evening in a cosy local bar or to take in a famous attraction, there’s always something to see and do.

Your All-Inclusive cruise

Each of our wonderful A-ROSA river cruises is arranged as an ‘All-Inclusive’ holiday, meaning that once you are aboard ship, you needn’t worry about extra costs unless you want to treat yourself to an additional optional excursion, beauty treatment, special occasion meal or specific wines and spirits. Everything else is taken care of, meaning you can just relax and enjoy your cruise to the full.

Cheers!

The bar is open! Throughout the day, rest and relax in the bars or lounge with a glass of your favourite tipple. All drinks, including speciality teas and coffees, mineral water, sodas, beers, most wines and most top brand spirits, are free of charge.

Flexible dining arrangements – eat when you choose

Enjoy full-board dining arrangements on board your chosen ship, with buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner available throughout generous mealtimes each day, and top deck barbecues on fine days.

Regional treats and specialities From time to time, the ship’s chefs will come up with a special treat or two, complementing your location on the river – all adding to the enjoyment of your holiday at no extra charge.

Little things mean

a lot!

• Complimentary bathrobes, pool towels, slippers and toiletries in each cabin • Complimentary bottled water • Free Wi-Fi throughout the ship (internet connection quality can vary dependent upon the ship’s location) • Discounts on a range of beauty and wellness treatments in the on-board SPA-ROSA • A “Welcome Aboard” rose Call us on: 0330 160 7800

Dine how you wish…

Flexible mealtimes, ‘show cooking’ by the ship’s chefs, healthy options and a wide choice from breakfast to dinner The chance to enjoy good food in relaxed surroundings is always one of the pleasures of any holiday, and dining aboard your A-ROSA vessel is no exception. Mealtimes, from breakfast to dinner, are flexibility itself, with generous opening hours at the hot and cold buffet and ‘showcooking’ from the ship’s skilled chefs, ensuring freshly prepared dishes, and plenty of healthy options from which to choose. Awake each day in anticipation of the excitement to come, and whether you’re an early riser or someone who likes to take things a little slower, perhaps heading for a stroll on the top deck or even ashore, if your ship is tied up alongside, the excellent buffet breakfast awaits you.

…when you wish! At lunchtime, whether you’re sailing or returning from a morning ashore, make your unhurried way to the dining room, where once again the chefs will have prepared delicious, fresh choices to enjoy. Perhaps there’s a regional speciality to sample, dependent upon where you find yourself, adding to the pleasure of the day. On especially sunny days, you can swap the dining room for the top deck, where a barbecue and grill offers opportunities to enjoy al fresco meals as you take in the passing scenery. When evening comes, and the day’s activities have drawn to a close, perhaps enjoy a cocktail in the bar, before heading to the dining room where the evening buffet awaits. Take your time over dinner, and perhaps end the evening back in the lounge, where there’s light entertainment to enjoy. If your ship is alongside for the evening, the flexibility in the dining room comes into its own, meaning that you can grab a bite before heading ashore to sample the atmosphere in a colourful shore-side town or village, or alternatively enjoy a pre-dinner drink ashore before returning to the ship – the choices, as ever, are yours.

Treat yourself to an A-ROSA Dining Evening For a special occasion while on the river, don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy an A-ROSA Dining Evening. For a small extra charge, enjoy a served, multi-course meal in the smart, slightly more formal dining room, accompanied by fine wine from the ship’s extensive list.

Welcome aboard!

In addition to the pleasures of the dining room and the comforts of your cabin, your A-ROSA river-cruise ship offers a host of on-board amenities to guarantee your enjoyment of a holiday aboard your floating home-from-home.

By exciting day… During the day, especially if you’re gently cruising along the river, you might while away the hours in the ship’s centrepiece lounge, with its comfy sofas, coffee-tables and floor-to-ceiling picture windows. Curl up with a book, enjoy a drink from the bar, perhaps join friends for a hand or two of cards, and make plans for your next port of call. From time to time the lounge is also where the cruise director will introduce upcoming destinations and excursions planned for your arrival – each of the cruises features at least one included tour, but there will be others available on board, to add to the pleasure.

Relaxation, indulgence... ...and convivial evenings A feature of all the ships is a wonderfully appointed SPA-ROSA, managed by the ship’s beauty and wellness professionals. Here you can indulge and pamper the inner you with a full range of treatments, taking advantage of the discounted prices available. Whether it’s a facial or full body massage, manicure or pedicure, you can follow the experience with a session in the ship’s unique panorama sauna and relaxation room, with their views of the passing river. Alongside the spa, the energetic can burn off a few calories in a well-equipped gym, perhaps under the watchful eye of a personal trainer. During the cruise, there will also be opportunities to join various fitness and yoga classes led by the ship’s therapists.

When evening comes… If you’re aboard ship, the atmosphere is one of relaxed conviviality. Enjoy drinks at the bar, excited conversation over dinner, discussing the day’s discoveries, or looking forward to tomorrow’s. Later, join fellow passengers in the comfortable lounge, where a little light entertainment adds to the pleasure of each enjoyable evening. On starlit nights, take a turn on the top deck, or perhaps cut a few shapes on the dance floor – the house DJ will indulge most tastes – before retiring to your cabin for another peaceful night’s sleep.

Life on the sun deck

One of the most striking features of all A-ROSA ships is the vast sun deck, the focus of outdoor life aboard ship on many a sunny day and balmy evening, and which significantly adds to the pleasure of your cruise. From an early morning stretch or stroll to a late night turn under the stars, the top deck waits to welcome you. Running from ‘stem to stern’, it serves as working home to the ship’s captain – take the opportunity to meet him in the wheelhouse, as he navigates his way up – or downstream – and a wellequipped, multi-faceted outdoor relaxation, recreation and dining area for holidaymaking passengers. Take in elevated, all-round views of the rivers’ passing scenery, watch the crew at work as the ship ties up in the latest port of call, and enjoy all the joys of the open air, whether at play or in lazy indulgence. Once again, the choices are yours!

Recreation, outdoor dining and stunning scenery

Equipped with plenty of sun loungers, a shaded area for when it gets too warm, and a pool or plunge pool in which to cool off, as well as a variety of deck games, including a putting green, shuffleboard court or giant chess set, the sun deck is the perfect place for total relaxation, a little exercise – from time to time there will be classes or yoga sessions to join – or some gentle competition with fellow passengers, if you have the energy or inclination that is! The beauty of life aboard ship is that you can do as much or as little as you wish. As well as all the fun activities, fine days bring the delicious smells of the deck barbecue, bringing the chance to enjoy al fresco lunch or dinner prepared by the chef, accompanied by a drink from the topsides bar. Whether you’re watching the ever-changing scenery, taking an afternoon siesta, enjoying a cocktail with new found friends as the sun sets on another beautiful day, or even, on balmy summer evenings, simply enjoying a seat under the stars, this is the life – A-ROSA-style!

Take a dip in the pool or whirlpool,

try your hand at shuffleboard or giant chess, or test your skill on the putting green. Enjoy on-deck barbecues and, of course, sit back and watch the world go by! Call us on: 0330 160 7800

The Lower Rhine, Dutch & Belgian Waterways Nijmegen, Netherlands

Towards the end of its 750-plus-mile journey from the Alps, the river passes the wealthy Rhineland cities of former German capital Bonn, Cologne and Düsseldorf, to become the ‘Niederrhein’, or Lower Rhine, before flowing under the famous bridge at Arnhem into the Netherlands and on towards the North Sea. A network of rivers and canals connect the river’s vast delta to several historic cities – Nijmegen, Antwerp, Ghent and Rotterdam – all of which owe their trading success to the water on which they sit. Medieval gems, picturesque towns and the vibrant burst of colour from the famous bulbfields of the Netherlands will be the backdrop to your delightful river cruise.

Lyon, France

Selected Ports of Call Arles, France

Lyon, France

Once the capital of Roman Gaul, and boasting superbly preserved remains – baths, a chariot racetrack and the famed Les Arènes arena, home to Spanish-style bullfights – Arles was inspiration to Van Gogh and Gauguin, and today exudes Southern Gallic charm.

France’s UNESCO-listed second city, for centuries the wealthy centre of the silk trade, and now a prosperous gateway to both the Alps and sunkissed Provence, lies at the rivers’ meeting point, where the Rhône turns south towards the Mediterranean.

Avignon, France The fabled ‘City of the Popes’, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval strongholds, is dominated by the monumental Palais des Papes, and is an engaging, bustling city, centred on the Place d’Horloge, which is lined with cafés and market stalls – the perfect spot from which to watch the world go by. Don’t miss the crumbling remains of the Pont St-Bénézet, the ‘pont d’Avignon’ of the famous French folk song.

Burgundy, France The vineyards of the Côte d’Or, Côte de Nuit and the Côte de Beaune, birthplace of some of the world’s most celebrated wines, lie close to historic Beaune and its stunning medieval Hôtel Dieu.

Chalon-Sur-Saône, France This historic Côte d’Or town boasts a beautiful medieval quarter, a fascinating wine museum and another dedicated to local Joseph Niepe, the inventor of photography.

Mâcon, France Famed wine-producing town Mâcon, on the banks of the Saône, boasts a lively, café-lined promenade.

Tournon, France This beautiful Rhône town is in an idyllic location set opposite vineyard-clad slopes beneath the towers of its ancient castle.

The Beautiful Seine

Caudebec-en-Caux, France

Paris, France

Vernon, France

Selected Ports of Call Caudebec-en-Caux, France

Rouen, France

Set beneath the engineering marvel of the Pont de Bretonne, Caudebec, with its cathedral and 13th-century Knights Templars’ house, is gateway to the Normandy coast and pretty, Impressionists’ retreat Honfleur.

The lovingly restored capital of Upper Normandy is a true delight. Step ashore to explore the city, with its poignant place du Vieux-Marché, site of Saint Joan’s martyrdom, its famous one-handed mechanical clock, the Gros Horloge, and its truly stunning Gothic cathedral, featured in many of Claude Monet’s most famous works.

Les Andelys, France Seen from the Seine, as it winds its tree-lined way through the Normandy countryside, beneath steep chalk cliffs, Richard the Lionheart’s towering Château Gaillard above tiny Les Andelys is a striking sight, instantly transporting you back to a time when power depended upon command of the river from above.

Paris, France One of the world’s best-loved cities, the glorious ‘City of Light’ outranks any other Seine ports of call by some distance. With its fabled sights – including the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and Sacré-Cœur – its ‘grands boulevards’, museums and storied galleries, and of course with its vibrant café-life and irrepressible joie de vivre, it is no wonder that Paris is always on top of people’s ‘mustsee’ or ‘must-return-to’ wishlists.

Vernon, France With its medieval, half-timbered buildings clustered beneath the surviving round tower of its onceformidable castle, and with its streets lined with cafés and colourful shops, Vernon is a delight. Its proximity to artist Claude Monet’s world-famous gardens at Giverny, make it an even more popular port of call.

We offer three Seine river cruises, including the festive season – which will you choose?

Joining your river cruise We offer three ways to join most of these A-ROSA cruise holidays, giving you the freedom to choose flight or rail-inclusive travel arrangements (except on the Danube cruises) and the chance to make your own way to the ship at the quayside. The options available are shown on each cruise description page, with prices, flight and train times shown on pages 72-75. Flight and rail-inclusive holidays include coach transfers from the airport/station to the A-ROSA ship.

Flight-Inclusive We offer departures inclusive of flights and transfers directly to the quayside on all these A-ROSA cruises, with a choice of departure airports shown on each cruise description page and on pages 72–74. This is often the quickest way of travelling out to the ship, and sometimes includes the added bonus, dependent upon your arrival time, of an opportunity for some pre-embarkation sightseeing.

Rail-Inclusive On all Rhine, Rhône/Saône and Seine cruises, you can ‘let the train take the strain’ by departing from either London St Pancras or Ebbsfleet station and travelling out to join your ship by superfast Eurostar™ and onward rail connections and coach transfers to the quayside. Please note that Rhine cruises embarking in Cologne and Rhône/Saône cruises embarking in Lyon will necessitate changing trains in Brussels, Paris or Lille. Train times are shown on page 75.

Cruise Only Make your own arrangements and join your chosen A-ROSA ship at the port of embarkation – perhaps you are combining the cruise with another holiday or would like to extend your stay before or after departure. Please note it is your responsibility to arrive in good time for embarkation, which always takes place during the afternoon. We will provide details of the exact departure point and embarkation timing with your holiday Final Travel Details. Prices for Cruise-Only arrangements are shown on page 75.

Your Holiday Essentials Before you go Passports & Visas

You will need a full 10-year British passport (valid for a further three months on return to the UK). The Passport Office may be contacted on 0300 222 0000. British Citizens do not require visas to enter Europe. Citizens of other countries should contact the embassy of the country they are travelling to for clarification. Newmarket Holidays cannot accept responsibility for entry or travel being refused due to the failure on the part of any customer to produce correct documentation.

Customers With Health Concerns In order to advise you of any accessibility issues, it is essential that you let us have details of any special requests you may have at the time of booking. The ships do not have a lift and they have several steps leading down to the restaurant and others leading up to the Sun Deck. Therefore, this holiday is unsuitable for passengers who are totally confined to a wheelchair, and may not be suitable for passengers

Call us on: 0330 160 7800

with restricted mobility. Collapsible wheelchairs are most suitable but can only be used for shore use and must be stored in your cabin. Electric scooters are not permitted. If you have suffered from a serious medical condition recently, then you should consult with your doctor about your fitness to travel. No inoculations are required for travel within Europe, and standards of healthcare are good or excellent at all our destinations.

Travel Insurance Travel insurance can play an essential part in ensuring you enjoy peace of mind during your holiday, and appropriate cover is recommended on a Newmarket holiday abroad. You don’t need to purchase your travel insurance from us, but we do offer good value, comprehensive travel insurance as detailed in the section on page 85.

Joining Instructions Approximately 10-14 days prior to departure you will receive your final Itinerary and Joining Instructions, provided all payments have been made. These will include details of your flights, rail timings, ship embarkation point and will

tell you anything else you need to know before you travel.

Special Requests We endeavour to comply with any special requests you may have by passing them through to the ship, however, we cannot guarantee that all such requests will be met, since they may be outside our control. Please note that we guarantee your cabin type as booked, and will do our best to accommodate cabin requests, but cannot guarantee a particular cabin.

Your journey Luggage

One piece of airline hold luggage per person is included in the price. Weight and dimension limits will apply and will vary between airlines. We will send you up-todate information about your hold and hand baggage allowance just prior to your departure. Keep your passport, important documents and medication in your hand luggage. Please note that non-rigid suitcases are easier to store within your cabin space.

To book please see your Local Travel Agent

Your ABC of On-Board Information Air Conditioning Just like the entire ship, your cabin also has air-conditioning. The cabin temperature can be individually adjusted. When you open the balcony door, the air circulation unit is automatically switched off.

All-Inclusive Guests can expect soft and alcoholic drinks all day (including beer, wine, selected spirits, cocktails, soft drinks, water, speciality teas and coffee), an embarkation snack, a delicious and well-balanced breakfast buffet, an extensive lunch buffet, tea and coffee hour and an excellent dinner buffet in the evening. Many cruises also include seasonal extras such as sandwiches or a midnight snack.

Animals It is forbidden to take animals on board the ships.

Announcements Loudspeaker announcements can be heard on deck and in the cabins (via on-board TV) and are mainly made prior to shore excursions and important events and for special points of interest along the river.

Bars On the A-ROSA ships A-ROSA AQUA and VIVA, there is an indoor and outdoor bar on Deck 3, as well as a café and lounge bar. A-ROSA DONNA has a café bar and a lounge bar on Deck 3; the A-ROSA ships A-ROSA STELLA, SILVA and FLORA have one on Deck 2. The outdoor bar of the A-ROSA STELLA, SILVA and FLORA are situated on the Sun Deck. The opening hours will be found in the daily programme in your cabin.

Bathrobes Bathrobes are available upon request from your cabin steward/ess, if they are not placed in the cabin already.

Bicycles/Biking For more information on the cycling excursions, please contact the onboard A-ROSA SPA department or ask at reception. Unfortunately, it is not possible to take your own bikes on the cruise.

Clothing

casual. Please remember to bring warmer clothes for the evenings out on deck. For the shore excursions, we recommend you bring sturdy shoes. For the restaurant we recommend smart casual dress.

Concierge Service Our reception team will be available to fulfil your individual requirements (e.g. reservation of tickets for cultural experiences or special excursions, organisation of transfers). On the A-ROSA FLORA and A-ROSA SILVA all suite guests may use our new butler service. We are available 24 hours for any request.

Connecting Doors On the ships A-ROSA AQUA, VIVA, FLORA and SILVA, every deck has at least two cabins with connecting doors. These can also be used as family cabins.

Customs Tariff Regulations Please observe the valid customs tariff regulations when importing and exporting goods and foreign currencies.

Daily Programme For all important information and instructions, please see your A-ROSA Journal, which will be placed in your cabin each evening.

Excursions Almost all ports of call are starting points for interesting shore excursions. For more information, please see page 76-77. Please also make use of the onboard information event on the first evening (embarkation day): bookings can be made on board. A-ROSA is only acting as an agent for the excursions offered. The local agencies will act as tour operators to organise and accompany the excursions.

Going Ashore In the EU, you can leave the ship as soon as we dock. In non-EU countries, you can only leave the ship after permission is granted by the local authorities. In your own interest, we request that you are back on board no later than 30 minutes before we cast off. The docking times may change at short notice. Please pay attention to announcements and information in the daily programme. Please pick up your shore pass from the front desk, before going on shore. After returning on board, please hand the pass back to the reception. The shore passes are used to check whether all guests are back on board.

Hairdryers

Deckchairs On the sun deck you will find deckchairs and a sun canopy. In the interest of all passengers, please don’t reserve deckchairs. Woollen blankets for cooler weather on deck can be found in your cabin.

A hairdryer can be found in your cabin (not the bathroom) in one of the drawers near the mirror or in the wardrobe.

Insect Screens

All ships have stairs and are not equipped with lifts and may not be suitable for passengers with restricted mobility.

For protection against insects, an insect screen in the form of a roller blind/sliding element is attached to the outside of the balcony door. When operating the roller blind, please ensure you exert equal force distribution in order to prevent it from getting stuck. It can be locked at the bottom.

Doctor

Itinerary

Disabled Guests and Guests in Need of Assistance

There will be an on-board doctor travelling on all itineraries to the Danube Delta. On all other itineraries, we can rely upon the medical treatment available due to the infrastructure of the travel region.

Drinking Water The water on board is drinkable and bottled water is provided in your cabin.

On-board and during the shore excursions, you can wear what you like. Dress code is comfortable and

Call us on: 0330 160 7800

You can find the planned itinerary in the brochure. The information is subject to change. High and low water, maintenance work and waiting times at locks and bridges due to shipping traffic may result in short-notice changes to the itinerary. In rare cases of extremely high or low water or force majeure, parts of the itinerary may have to be completed by bus or train and in individual cases overnight stays in hotels may be necessary.

To book please see your Local Travel Agent

Key Card

Please note it is subject to change:

Special Diets

This card is your A-ROSA key and credit card. Please always carry your key with you. In case of loss, please notify the reception immediately.

• Coffee & croissant

6:30-7:00

• Breakfast

7:00-9:30

Laundry

If you are following a special diet, please contact your restaurant chef at the start of your trip. Please notify us of any food allergies/intolerances prior to the start of your trip.

Methods of Payment The on-board currency is euros. During the cruise, you can use your on-board credit card on the ship, and this also acts as your cabin’s key card. At the end of the cruise, you can pay your final bill either in cash, with traveller’s cheques (in euros), with Maestro card or with the following credit cards: American Express, MasterCard or Visa.

Money Changing Unfortunately, there are no on-board money changing facilities. However, bureaux de change can be found in the direct vicinity of our docking locations.

Mooring Area In some towns, it is usual for the port authorities to assign several ships the same mooring area due to the large volume of shipping traffic. In such cases, the ships are moored next to each other and you may not be able to see out of your cabin properly and you may need to exit across other vessels whilst going ashore. Unfortunately, A-ROSA has no influence over this.

Pool A heated pool can be found on the Sun Deck of the following ships: A-ROSA DONNA, FLORA, SILVA and STELLA. A heated whirlpool can be found on the ships A-ROSA AQUA and VIVA in the SPA outdoor area on deck 3. You can find bath towels in your cabin.

Travel Insurance Peace of Mind Travel insurance can play an essential part in ensuring you are able to enjoy every moment of your time on holiday, without worrying what might happen should bad luck befall you. Hence, we suggest that everyone travelling abroad with Newmarket has travel insurance. This must be either the Newmarket Travel Insurance policy underwritten by AWP P&C SA and administered in the UK by Allianz Global Assistance, or an alternative travel insurance policy. The Newmarket travel insurance policy is only available to UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man residents and English law will apply.

This will be sent to you with your confirmation of reservation. It is the full terms and conditions of the policy.

• Delayed Personal Possessions – up to £75 • Personal Money – up to £250 (less £70 excess)

Excess Waiver Insurance

• Loss of Passport – up to £250

If an excess applies, you can avoid this being deducted from a successful claim by taking out optional Excess Waiver Insurance in addition to the policy.

The Premium

The Cover –

The cost of the policy is £26 (5-9 days), £32 (10-15 days), £51 (1629 days) for EUROPEAN BREAKS. The cost of Excess Waiver Insurance is £7 for each person aged 2 or over at the date of travel. All premiums are inclusive of Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate. You must pay all applicable premiums at the time of booking and cover starts from the moment we receive these monies.

Significant Health Exclusions; Health Declaration

The policy does not cover any claim arising from a medical condition for which, at the time of taking out the policy, an insured person: • Is being prescribed regular medication; or • Has received treatment for or had a consultation with a doctor or hospital specialist in the past 12 months; or

The cost of our travel insurance policy is slightly higher for customers aged 70-79, and for those over 80. Please see online or call us for exact prices.

• Is being referred to, treated by or under the care of a doctor or a hospital specialist; or • Is awaiting treatment or the results of any tests or investigations; or • Has been diagnosed with or treated for cancer in the last 5 years unless the condition(s) has (have) been declared, and accepted in writing. Please call the confidential medical line on 0330 123 3702 if you need to declare a medical condition, if you develop a medical condition after the policy was issued, if your existing medical condition changes after the policy was issued or if you are unsure whether a medical condition needs to be declared or not. This helpline will be able to tell you whether or not cover can be provided for your medical condition(s). You do not have to declare minor ailments e.g. hay fever, colds/flu, ear infections, dental treatment if you have had no further problems since or if you have been advised by your doctor that it is safe to travel. An additional premium may be payable.

Cancellation Rights If your cover does not meet your requirements, please return the documentation within 14 days of receipt and your premium will be refunded in full unless you have travelled made a claim or intend to make a claim.

Making a complaint The policy contains a complaints procedure which tells you what steps you can take if you wish to make a complaint.

Government advice is to be adequately covered According to a poll gathered by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office 24% of travellers are still going abroad without suitable travel insurance, risking thousands of pounds of expenses, 48% of people don’t realise that without travel insurance they’d be liable to pay for their own medical bills abroad.

Should anyone be refused admission to the coach or ship, or to the destination country by the transport or government authority, then we are powerless to assist and cannot be held responsible. This includes any passenger who fails to advise us of any medical condition or disability. If you are prevented from travelling as a result, our responsibility for your holiday thereupon ceases. Full cancellation charges will apply and we will be under no obligation whatsoever for any refund, compensation or loss you may incur. Copies of the relevant parts of the Terms and Conditions are available on request.

Our Contract With You 1 Our Confirmation Of Reservation - When we have received your booking and deposit we will send you a Confirmation of Reservation which details exactly what is booked for you. From this moment Newmarket Holidays Ltd has accepted your booking on the terms set out in this Contract. 2 The Cruise Price - Once you have booked, we guarantee to not change the price of your holiday with us. System Errors - We try hard to ensure that advertised prices are up to date, and reflect the price you will pay when you book. However, prices can change and errors can occasionally occur. We reserve the right to change and correct advertised prices at any time before your booking is confirmed.

In the event of your Confirmation of Reservation showing an incorrect price for your holiday, the price that will prevail is the price shown in our offline reservation system. Accordingly you may not seek to rely on system errors with a view to obtaining a holiday at less than the correct price, and any contract entered into upon a mistake, such as wrong pricing due to system errors, is not valid or binding. 3 Data Protection - In order to confirm and process your booking, we need to collect Personal Data for all the people named on the booking. We reserve the right to process, store and share any and all of the information we collect with our suppliers as we deem necessary to fulfil the contract between us and to comply with national and international law. To find out more about how we use and protect your Personal Data, log on to www. newmarketholidays.co.uk/privacy 4 Our Alterations - It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your holiday but we do plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally changes may be made, which we reserve the right to do at any time. Most of these changes are insignificant and we will advise you at the earliest possible date. A significant change is one that we make to your holiday arrangements before departure that involves changing your resort area, or time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering accommodation with a lower official classification than that advertised (except the latter in the case of en route tour hotels). If a significant change becomes necessary we will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. When a significant change occurs you will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, purchasing another available holiday from us (we will

refund any price difference if alternative is of lower value), or cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. When a significant change occurs, provided it does not arise from circumstances amounting to force majeure (see below), we will pay compensation as detailed below, based on how far ahead of departure the change is advised:

Charge

15 - 28 days £10,

0 - 14 days £25

N..B. 4: We will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport. 5 Our Cancellations - We reserve the right to cancel your holiday and in this event we will return to you all money you have paid to us or will offer you an alternative, available holiday to purchase of comparable standard. In no case, except for reasons of war etc, (see N.B. 4, above) will your holiday be cancelled after the date when your final balance becomes due. 6 Our Complaints Procedure - Newmarket Holidays Ltd is a Member of ABTA with membership number V7812. ABTA Members help holidaymakers to get the most from their travel and assist them when things do not go according to plan. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct.

Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com. You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. This ODR platform is a means of notifying us of your complaint; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved. 7 Our Responsibility For Your Holiday - (a) Although we have no direct control over services provided to you by independent suppliers we accept responsibility for the reasonable standard of the holiday which you book. If any part is not provided as promised, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday.

Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of three times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the travel services that make up your package. These terms are incorporated into this booking; and b) 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 and conditions under which compensation can be claimed 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 the extent of or the conditions under which compensation is to be paid under these or any conventions. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in these booking conditions. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline or any other service provider will be deducted.

If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday. N.B. 3 this entire clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into for excursions or activities whilst on holiday. (b) We accept responsibility if you or any person named on the Personal Details booking page suffers bodily injury, illness or death due to the negligent acts and/or omissions of: (i) our employees or agents; or (ii) our suppliers or sub-contractors, servants or agents whilst acting within the scope or in the course of their employment to provide any service or arrangement forming part of the holiday that you have booked with us save that we do not accept responsibility for any air or sea carriers whose liabilities are limited by the relevant International Conventions. Any such claims will be subject to and dealt with in accordance with English Law, and will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of Court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the Courts of your home country or those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and claim governed by the law of Scotland/ Northern Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply). (c) We shall give you assistance in the event that you suffer illness, personal injury or death during the period of your holiday overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part either of the holiday arrangement with us or an excursion offered through us. This assistance will include advice and guidance and, at our discretion and where appropriate, financial assistance subject to our spending a maximum amount in this regard on behalf of yourself and any other person named on the booking of £5,000 in total. (d) In the event of a claim under this clause against us by you or any person named on the Personal Details booking page we reserve the right to claim in your place against the person or corporation responsible for the act, default or omission giving rise to the claim and you hereby agree to assign to us all your rights under this clause and we will be subrogated to those rights and you hereby agree to assist us fully in the event that we enforce the rights which have been assigned to us or to which we are subrogated. (e) We take the safety and security of our clients extremely seriously. If the Foreign Office advises that people should not visit a particular country, then we would act on this. However, we are sure you appreciate from press and television coverage that the political, economic and social conditions in many countries are not as stable as we are used to. Sadly crimes against both people and their property are a fact of life the world over, and when in a foreign county it is very important to be extra vigilant and avoid drawing attention to yourself by wearing expensive jewellery, carrying expensive camera equipment etc. Travellers have the same responsibility for their personal safety and that of their possessions, as they do at home. As situations in countries can change rapidly, we would suggest you may wish to visit the Foreign Office Travel Advice website at www.gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice for up to date information and advice regarding safety BEFORE BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY. Newmarket Holidays Ltd operate to many parts of the world, some of which do not conform to British health and safety standards. We request that all our hotels comply with the local regulations applicable in their country for health and safety but we cannot guarantee that these meet British standards.

cover for pre-existing medical conditions. If you elect not to take our insurance, you will be required to provide us with the alternative cover you have in place, including the name of the insurer, policy number and most importantly the phone number of the insurer’s Emergency Assistance service. You agree to indemnify Newmarket Holidays Ltd. for any costs that arise which would otherwise have been met had Newmarket Holidays Ltd insurance been taken. Please note that, if you take out our insurance, certain claims will be subject to an excess charge and that your insurance premium will be dependent on your date of birth. We have no liability for any loss or damage to luggage inflight or in transit. Any claims of this nature should be referred directly to your insurer. 9 Financial Protection & Repatriation - In line with the EC Directive on package travel, Newmarket Holidays Ltd offers complete financial protection for all customers. Newmarket Holidays Ltd is a fully-bonded member of ABTA - The Association of British Travel Agents (membership number V7812), ensuring both your financial protection and high standards of professionalism and reliability. Therefore you can book and travel with Newmarket Holidays Ltd in total confidence that your money and your holiday are safe. In the unlikely event of the company failing while you are abroad, the ABTA bond will be used to repatriate you.

When you buy an ATOL protected flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists the flight, accommodation, car hire and/or other services that are financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative).In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). 10 Passport, Visa And Immigration Requirements Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/ or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.

Important Information Suppliers’ Conditions - Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions and particularly the Terms and Conditions of Carriage at Sea of the carrier providing your Cruise are available on request from ourselves. Fitness To Travel - We strive to give all our customers full care and attention, but we do need to know at the time of booking if there are any special needs or requirements. It is particularly important that we are advised of any disabilities and also if you intend to bring any specialist equipment such as a wheelchair with you. Please make sure you send in full details when booking. These will be acknowledged on your Confirmation of Reservation. Special Requests - We endeavour to comply with any special request you may have by passing them through to the ship; however, we cannot guarantee that all requests will be met, since they may be outside our control. Itinerary - You will receive your final Itinerary and Journey Instructions approximately 10-14 days prior to departure, provided all payments have been made.

8 Travel Insurance - Because of the importance of having adequate insurance cover we make it a condition of booking on all cruise holidays that you are covered by an insurance policy that it provides health cover including
