All Inclusive Plus You can eat and drink all you like, day and night: breakfast, lunch and dinner; water, juices, coffee, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages... there are no limits. You can ask for absolutely anything on a CDF Cruise and we will always serve you with a smile. Some premium brands are at a supplement.
Then comes lunch, with the choice between a buffet or an a-la-carte menu. There is nothing like the peace of mind that the person who served you knows your tastes and how to satisfy them. At the end of day we want much more than just to serve you your dinner. This is the time to share the day’s experiences, and what better way to do it than over dishes served with the care and pampering that such an important time deserves.
CDF Croisières de France 2016
Everyone knows that the quality of the ingredients is essential for everything to turn out perfectly.

Later this afternoon you visit the medieval village of Bormes-les-Mimosas which is classified as one of the most beautiful places in the Var region. You’ll walk its narrow streets, marvelling at the ancient stone buildings seemingly covered with flowers and studded with ocean views.

The Flåm Railway is one of the most interesting sections of railway engineering in the world. This exciting 20 km-long railway line to Myrdal, crosses rivers, passes by waterfalls, through tunnels, alongside snowy mountains, and reaches 837 metres above sea level. We leave the station and travel along the Flåm River, famous for salmon fishing to explore attractions such as the Rjoande Waterfall with a vertical drop of 140 metres and the Vibmesnosi peak at 1,269 metres. To climb the 300 metres to Myrdalsberg, the line was built on four levels. The road climbs the steep hills in 21 tight hairpins with a magnificent waterfall alongside. To peacefully enjoy the scenery, the train will take us and even stop at the impressive Kjosfossen waterfall where we have time to take some pictures. We then stop at the Vatnahalsen hotel, a well-known ski resort to relax having some tea or coffee. After this break we return to Flåm by the same railway. Duration: Price:

Terms & Conditions of Orange Travel Group These terms and conditions relate solely to the agreement between Orange Travel Group Limited and the Passenger Definitions: OTG: Orange Travel Group Ltd of 27, Birkirkara Hill, St. Julian’s, STJ1143, Malta Organiser: CDF - Crosiere de France of 77, Boulevard Hausman, 75008, Paris, France Passenger: the person who takes or agrees to take the package being offered by OTG Obligations of OTG OTG binds itself to receive payment from the passenger on behalf of the Organiser in relation to any booking made by the passenger with the Organiser relating to any service offered by the Organiser to the passenger and to ensure that proposals, bookings and claims are forwarded to the Organiser on behalf of the passenger. Upon placing a booking with CDF Cruises the contract between the Organiser and the passenger shall come into force and will be legally binding between the parties. Booking a holiday from this brochure implies the acceptance of both the conditions set by CDF Cruises and those of Orange Travel Group Limited which is CDF Cruises’ exclusive preferred travel partner for Malta and Gozo. Once you have completed and signed the booking form and paid your deposit, as indicated hereunder, and have been issued a receipt, the booking is taken as confirmed and it is understood that you have read and accepted the terms and conditions referred to above of which you shall be given a copy together with your booking form. The travel confirmation contains the significant details of your booked services. Should the services in the travel confirmation differ from those in the booking then a new offer will be presented by the Organiser. In this case you have 7 days in which to accept the new offer. During this period the offer remains legally binding for the Organiser. Should you accept the new offer in writing within 7 days then the travel contract will be completed on this basis. Alterations to the cruise itineraries are possible e.g. due to official regulations, particular shipping conditions, medical emergencies, or when, due to adverse weather conditions, the Captain decides to alter the route in the interest of the safety of the passengers. The Captain alone makes the decisions on necessary itinerary changes and/or travel times. Special terms and conditions apply for the cruise lines in accordance to international conventions. Please make sure that you study and understand the terms and conditions which will be given to you upon booking the cruise. Payment A deposit of €700 per cabin must be effected in order to obtain a formal confirmation of your holiday. Full payment for your holiday must reach OTG at least 75 days prior departure and therefore you are requested to pay your travel agent at least 80 days prior to departure to allow the agent to effect payment in time. Should payment not be received by 75 days before departure, OTG shall have the right to consider your holiday as cancelled and charge all the applicable cancellation fees. If the due balance is not settled before the date of travel the passenger is not authorised to travel, Furthermore the passenger may be charged a cancellation fee as compensation as per rates indicated hereunder. Travel documents are made available approximately 2 weeks prior departure either in form of e-docs or printed tickets. Notwithstanding what is provided above, cancellation and rebooking fees are due immediately. It is to be noted that OTG has appointed a number of agents or retailers in regards to the offers contained in this brochure. Nevertheless the moment you choose such an agent or retailer to effect payment to OTG, such payment is being made at your own risk. OTG bears no responsibility if monies paid by you to third parties are not received by OTG within the terms set above and will not be bound to honour any obligations if the terms set in this agreement are not honoured fully. All prices published in the brochure are based in Euros and are per person sharing a cabin. Prices include: all port taxes and fuel surcharges applicable on the date of printing. In lawful circumstances and within legal scope, OTG reserves the right to pass on any increases in the costs of transportation, taxes and exchange rates, provided the date of travel does not fall within 21 days from departure. This is applicable exclusively for fare changes where cost factors were subject to unforeseeable changes after the conclusion of the contract. Significant and unpredictable reasons for a price increase are e.g. the increase in public dues, the increase in value-added tax, changes in the world oil prices, changes in harbour dues, or, in particular cases, a more than 10% increase in the EURO vs. US-Dollar exchange rate. To the same extent an adjustment of the agreed travel fare is permitted should there be a change in the official passenger tariffs. As proof of the legitimacy of a price change, OTG will provide certification of each cost and rate increase for you to check. In case of alterations of prices or services OTG will contact you immediately but no later than 21 days prior to the scheduled sailing date. Increases after that date are not allowed. You have to assert your rights against OTG immediately after OTG has informed you about alterations of price. Financial Aspect Prices published in the brochure are based on the cruise prices, land arrangements, port taxes and fuel surcharges valid at the time of printing (you will bear the cost of any tax and fuel surcharge increases that may be imposed following the date of printing). In accordance to EU Law no. 51 (1) of 1998, any change to the costs mentioned above may result to in an increase in the prices. Increases due to currency fluctuations and tax and fuel surcharges do not give you the right to cancel your holiday without incurring cancellation fees. 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 OTG. Should you cancel your booking or not commence the holiday,
OTG reserves the right to levy charges for made travel provisions and expenses incurred. When calculating the charges, OTG takes into account the services saved and the possible other use of the services. OTG 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: €700 per cabin 119 to 90 days: 25% of the total fare or €700 per cabin (whichever is higher) 89 to 60 days: 50% of the total fare or €700 (whichever is higher) 59 to 30 days: 75% of the total fare or €700 (whichever is higher) 29 days or less: 100% of the total fare Booking Changes Your booking can be changed upon requestand the penalty will be subject to the availability at that time. This can be done until 30 days before date of travel. OTG charges the sum of €50 rebooking fee per person. Should you wish to make a rebooking less than 30 days before date of travel, then booking changes can only be made, if at all possible, by cancelling the travel contract subject to the cancellation fees indicated above. Any form of alteration made to the date of travel, destination or place of commencement, accommodation, the cabin or mode of transport is considered as a change. 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 with the Organiser. OTG reserves the right to decline making such a request on your behalf or that of the third party should the third party 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. Flights The right is reserved to substitute alternative airlines and/or aircraft if necessary. Only flight timings are subject to confirmation and alteration. 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, 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. Name Changes At time of booking all passengers names need to be submitted to OTG. Names need to be congruent with the valid passengers’ passports. OTG reserves the right to pass on the relevant charges applicable at the time for name changes after the option is confirmed. Changes CDF Cruises reserve the right to change the itinerary due to bad weather or industrial action, in which case neither the cruise company nor OTG are liable to pay any form of compensation for the missed ports or the change of programme. If any portion of holiday is lost due to natural disasters, bad weather, industrial action, war, government restrictions or any matter of force majeur, neither CDF Cruises nor OTG or their subcontractors can be held liable to pay compensation for damages incurred. In the event that a ship is prevented to enter a port in order to either embark (to start a cruise holiday), or disembark (to finish a cruise holiday) due to bad weather, industrial action, or such unexpected circumstances, OTG shall be responsible to convey the passengers to the next possible port of embarkation or disembarkation but it is also being hereby understood that neither CDF Cruises nor OTG shall be liable to pay any expenses related to loss of holiday or other sorts of moral damages arising from such circumstances since these are completely out of the control of both CDF Cruises and OTG. Cancellation after date of travel Should you cancel after the date of travel then the charges for return transport and other additional costs will be charged to you as traveller. Should travel be largely hindered, endangered or affected due to a force majeure (e.g. through war, natural disasters, government authority measures, transport embargos, ship loss or other similar incidents) which were not predictable at the time of conclusion of the contract, then both the passenger and OTG may cancel the contract. In the event of OTG cancelling the holiday prior to departure, the passengers receive a refund of all sums paid to OTG. No other compensation shall be paid. Passport, Visa, Customs, Currency and Health Requirements OTG will be responsible to inform you of passport, visa and health requirements and possible changes thereof prior to starting the journey solely so far as these apply to citizens of Malta. OTG may delegate this instruction to a third party. Citizens of other countries, please check passport, visa and any other entry requirements with your own country’s embassy. In doing so, OTG assumes that there are no peculiarities in the customer itself and potential fellow travellers (e.g. dual citizenship, statelessness). The customer is responsible for obtaining and entrainment of required documents, potential mandatory vaccination as well as compliance to customs and exchange control regulations. Inconveniences that might accrue from non-compliance of these regulations e.g. payment of cancellation fees are for your account. OTG is not liable for changes in political circumstances or entry regulations, making an entry to the country or destination difficult or impossible. In the event that it is necessary to make changes we will
