“All inclusive” Remember, a Sunrise Tour is an inclusive product. All activities, tickets, taxes and typically two meals per day (included meals are indicated in the daily itinerary; b=breakfast, l=lunch, d=dinner, hot apps= extensive appetizers that could replace a dinner) are included so that your only expenses on the road will be meals that are not included, souvenirs and a gratuity for your tour manager, driver and step-on guides if you so desire (see policies on p. 54). On a few tours, 2 meals a day may not be included, and will be indicated as such.

Notes from the road... Holland America launched its newest vessel, the MS Nieuw Statendam, last December and my husband, Dan and I were lucky enough to sail on her first departure from Ft. Lauderdale. I can say the ship is the most elegant ship I have ever been on and I have sailed on a handful of cruise ships! A highlight for me was waking up to go to breakfast each morning and the fresh flowers and artwork were changed throughout the ship. We were greeted each day by the friendliest staff and treated like royalty, which made it such an enjoyable experience. The cabins, service and entertainment are all first class.

MS Nieuw Statendam

After a full day of sightseeing at one of the ports or a full day of lounging and taking in the relaxing sea air on one of the many decks, we always looked forward to the entertainment each night. We saw a show, enjoyed some jazz and blues and found that our favorite was the Rolling Stone Rock Room, which featured an American Idol contestant! This ship really has something for everyone! Aside from the beautiful sunny weather, the food at every meal was impeccable and was one of the highlights of our trip. It was an incredible experience and I am certain you will love this ship as much as we did! (see page 31) Shelby Moll, Sunrise Tours Office Manager

Notes from the road...

Adirdondack Mountains

As a native Midwesterner, the Adirondack region of upstate New York was a relative unknown to me before I traveled there to plan our tour to the Adirondack Balloon Festival, departing September 17 (page 15). Visiting the small towns of Lake George and Lake Placid while traversing through the stunning mountain scenery felt like unlocking a secret that most of us miss as we visit big cities in the East and open spaces in the West. Our base for the tour, Lake George, is one of America's oldest vacation spots with a history that dates to the French and English feuding over the region, as highlighted by Fort William Henry. With shops, restaurants and scenery just outside our prime hotel location, there is plenty to do and see for our travelers. Higher in the mountains, Lake Placid puts their Olympic history on full display. Goosebumps were inevitable as I entered the arena that hosted the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" hockey game where the underdog U.S. team defeated the heavily favored USSR. Even more incredible was the ski jump complex, where an event we marvel at every four years on TV comes to life with entirely new perspective.

Policies Cancellations - please review Our cancellation fees schedule varies according to the type of tour. Your deposit is fully refundable up to the final payment due date. On any cancellation made after final payment is due, the following fee schedules apply. All motorcoach cancellation fee (final payment due 45 days before departure): Cancel 45-30 days before departure 25% of total price Cancel 30-6 days before departure 50% of total price Cancel within 5 days of departure 100% of total price Fly/Train cancellation fee (final payment due 60 days before departure): Cancel 60-30 days before departure 25% of total price Cancel 30-6 days before departure 50% of total price Cancel within 5 days of departure 100% of total price Cruise and International tours: Refund for cancellation of cruises and international tours depend on the cruise line or tour operator. Please call for questions on a specific cruise or tour. Final Payment Final payment is due 45 days before departure for an all-motorcoach tour and 60 days before departure for tours involving air or train unless otherwise noted. One-day tour payments are due in full upon reservation. Please call in reference to cruise payment deadlines. Tour Price Inclusions (and tipping policy) The price of the tour includes all attractions, lodging, motorcoach transportation, breakfast and dinner daily (unless noted otherwise), and tips for hotel, airport, and restaurant personnel. If the tour involves air travel, the cost of the ticket is included unless otherwise noted. Some airlines charge for checked baggage and that is not included in the tour price. Tips for the driver, tour managers, and step-on guides are left to the discretion of the traveler and should be in accordance with services received. Typical gratuities for tour manager and driver are $5-$7 per person, per day. Trip Insurance We have always felt that travel insurance is an individual decision, and therefore have not included it in the cost of our tours. That being said, we strongly recommend that you purchase the optional travel insurance described within. This coverage protects you against many unforeseen circumstances that can occur when traveling. There are many reasons to purchase insurance, but the following are two main reasons we highly recommend the insurance offered by NTA/Aon Insurance. 1) Trip cancellation - If you are forced to cancel a tour for medical reasons (for you or an immediate family member), having insurance ensures a complete refund of monies paid (except for the cost of insurance). 2) Trip interruption – Unfortunately, there are circumstances that can prevent passengers from fully participating in a tour and may require an early departure or extended stay. For example, if a passenger suffers an injury which requires immediate care and prevents the traveler from continuing on the tour, insurance will cover the cost of the extended stay, the cost of transportation home and the value of the missed tour (subject to claim submission and acceptance by AON Insurance). If you do not have insurance, you will personally incur these costs. From experience, we can tell you that this can be very expensive. To purchase trip insurance, reference the enclosed info and call 800388-1470 or visit nta.aontravelprotect.com. You must use Tour Operator Location #256061 to purchase insurance for a Sunrise Tour. Pick-up points For each trip, we determine the pick-up points used based in part on the number of requests for each point. In some cases we will not utilize a point if there is very limited demand. All pick-up points allow parking for your vehicle. Sunrise’ pick up point partners offer the use of parking spaces during tour as a courtesy to Sunrise travelers. Neither Sunrise Tours nor parking lot owners assume responsibility for incidents occur-

ring to parked cars. You will be notified of which pick-ups we are using for your tour in a letter about 2 weeks prior to departure. If our routing allows, we may pick up along the way in outlying areas. Identification A passport is required on any tour that leaves the United States, including Canada. Photo ID’s are required on all fly tours and recommended on all tours. Singles Requesting Roommates If you would like to go on tour with us, but do not have a roommate for a specific trip, let us know and we will match you with someone else (same sex of course). Just let us know at least 60 days before departure and we will room you with another traveler at the double rate. If there is no roommate available on the tour you request, you will still only have to pay the price of a double. If you decline the roommate assigned, you will be responsible for the single supplement. Of course, if you prefer to travel individually, you can still sign up for the single fare. This offer is not valid on cruises, and some select tours. Method of Payments For deposits we accept checks or cash. For final payment we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, check or cash. Seating on the Motorcoach Seating is assigned and will be rotated on a daily basis. Special seating requests are honored on the basis of availability. Paying the single fare does NOT ensure you will have a seat to yourself on the coach, it only ensures you a room by yourself. Responsibility Sunrise Tours is not responsible for any injury, delay, loss or accident due to any act or negligence on the part of any person or company rendering services on any of our tours. We reserve the right to change any itinerary. After You Book A Tour... After you have booked a tour and we have received your deposit, the following is a schedule of correspondences: 1) confirmation of deposit received 2) your final payment is due 45 days before departure for an all-motorcoach tour or 60 days before departure for tours involving air or Amtrak trains (please note you will NOT receive an invoice when final payment is due) 3) you will receive a letter about 2-3 weeks prior to departure that will include your luggage tags and important details such as pick-up times and locations, hotel phone #’s, what to bring, and a detailed itinerary (subject to change). Please bring this with you on tour. Pictures By signing up for and participating in a tour, you are agreeing to have any pictures taken on tour published in Sunrise Tours printed or web material. If you do not wish to have your picture used in any form by Sunrise Tours, please notify us prior to traveling. Maps The maps provided in brochure are general outlines and not meant to outline specific routes to be driven. We reserve the right to change routing on any tour. Last Minute Travelers We love adding last minute travelers! We are always happy to add you to a tour that isn’t sold out, even up to a few days before departure.
