NCL

ROYAL CARIBBEAN

At Norwegian Cruise Line we think there’s only one thing to do with rules – scrap them. So that’s what we’ve done. Welcome to freedom, welcome to NCL Freestyle Cruising.

You see, we pick the ports we know you’re going to love and the rest, it’s down to you. So, get on board with Norwegian Cruise Line and let us take you to the destinations of your dreams from the Caribbean to Hawai‘i, Alaska to New England, Bermuda to Mexico, or make this the year when you discover Europe like you’ve never seen it before.

Just like dining at a favourite restaurant at home, our My Time Dining programme allows you to enjoy the fine quality, ambiance and friendly service of dinner in our main dining room, while pre-reserving the perfect seating times (between the hours of 1800 hrs and 2130 hrs*) during your cruise holiday.

Since demand for seating in the main dining room varies nightly and can increase significantly following evening shows, please reserve your preferred dinner times as early as possible.

MSC Fine dining What could be more enticing than the prospect of a long leisurely meal in an Italian restaurant? Luckily, on an MSC cruise, this enticing prospect is replicated every day. Each day delivers a new exciting selection of fine dining options in a series of elegant restaurants serving Italian and international cuisine. Chefs on our cruise ships can also accommodate special dietary requirements.

HOLLAND AMERICA

On board your NCL cruise take your seat for the best of Broadway, Las Vegas and the West End style shows all rolled into one. Aboard almost all our ships there’s a proper theatre, where curtain up means lavishly staged shows, professional casts and great production numbers that will have you wondering just how they do it.

Ready for some R&R? Take in a relaxing massage at the spa. Bask in the sun in peace at the pool's quiet zone. Treat yourself to a manicure after a day of playing in the sun or on the shore. Or let our experienced hair care professionals get you ready for a special night on board.

Some guests want to sit back, relax and be entertained while others want to join in on the action. Well, there's something for everyone, every day of the week. In fact, there's always so much going on, you may find the hardest decision is choosing what to do first. Something new is featured everyday and entertainment varies from ship to ship - your Cruise Compass and Daily Planner will have all the details, including time and place. But to give you a taste of what goes on, here are few of their guests' favourites, Live Bands and DJs, Theme nights, Onboard parties, Ballroom dancing, Sports & Movies.

Nights on board luxurious Holland America Line cruises glitter with choices. Begin the evening with drinks and dancing in the Ocean Bar. Watch a movie or try your luck at the blackjack table. Catch a musical production starring performers from Broadway shows in our state-of-theart show lounge or visit one of our many lounges featuring live music and award-winning entertainment. You can find it all aboard a Holland America Line cruise vacation.

Families Cruises make wonderful family holidays. Most cruise ships cater to all ages and many offer interesting and/or educational age-specific children's programs. With so many cruises and cruise companies to choose, selecting the right cruise line for your family is often difficult. At Sunway we can assist you with choosing your family cruise. For most families, your cruise will offer a greatest variety of activities and some great new features to watch out for on boards. Combined with choosing a great itinerary and the right ship you are sure to have a family holiday to remember!

Cruise lines are always creating new attractions ranging from elaborate water parks to movie matinees & the old favourites like Rock Climbing walls still go down a treat!

Onboard programmes and facilities are fantastic: There are kids clubs, where the cruise companies divide them into groups of 3- to 5-yearolds and 6- to 8-year-olds. There are Teens-only clubs & programmes which incorporate a range of shipwide options, from spa treatments to shore excursions. Special menus can also be catered for.

In 2011 Norwegian Cruise Lines are introducing Nickelodeon at Sea, All Nickelodeon, all over the ship, all week long! This cruise departs Barcelona on 24th July 2011 & you will have great fun on board with character breakfasts, Live Spongebob & Dora shows, SLIM TIME LIVE and so much more!

“the island of the clouds” by the Carib Indians, is the largest of the St.Vincent dependencies.The seven-square-mile island attracts a good number of yachtsmen and smaller cruise ships. Boat building and repair work is still an important part of the island’s heritage, but tourism has become increasingly important. Apart from unspoiled beaches, the island’s interior consists of hilly and forested terrain, interspersed with a variety of fruit and nut trees.

Grand Turk,Turks & Caicos Islands Just 7 mi (11 km) long and a little over 1 mi (2\u00BD km) wide, Grand Turk, the capital and seat of the Turks and Caicos government, has been a longtime favorite destination for divers eager to explore the 7,000foot-deep pristine coral walls that drop down only 300 yards out to sea. On shore, the tiny, quiet island is home to white-sand beaches, the National Museum and bougainvillea-covered colonial inns.

is easy to navigate.The heart of the city—which includes the downtown area, the Canada Place cruise-ship terminal, Gastown, Chinatown, Stanley Park, and the West End highrise residential neighborhood—sits on a peninsula hemmed in by English Bay and the Pacific Ocean to the west; by False Creek, the inlet home to Granville Island, to the south; and by Burrard Inlet, the working port of the city, to the north, past which loom the North Shore mountains.

Juneau, Alaska Juneau, Alaska's capital and third-largest city, is on the North American mainland but can't be reached by road. Its dramatic hillside position and historic downtown buildings provide a frontier feeling, but the city's cosmopolitan nature comes through in its fine museums, noteworthy restaurants, and literate and outdoorsy populace. In addition to enjoying the city itself, you will discover a tramway to alpine trails atop Mt. Roberts, densely forested wilderness areas, quiet bays for sea kayaking, and even a famous driveup glacier.

Highlights Hobart,Tasmania There are few places as tranquil as the island of Tasmania. So it’s no surprise that Aussies head here for a taste of laid-back island life. Over a third of the landscape is covered with national parks and wilderness World Heritage areas. It’s even home to one of the world’s best beaches and tons of aboriginal creatures such as the short-beaked echidna, little pygmy, and yes, the Tasmanian devil himself. And Hobart, the island’s Europeanesque harbor town, is the perfect prequel to it all.

Christchurch, New Zealand Named after a college at the University of Oxford, England, Christchurch has a reputation for being a conservative, “British” city.

This may be true on the surface, but a bit of poking around this largest city of the South Island, population 360,000, will reveal a vibrant arts culture and adventurous spirit that’s 100% “Kiwi.”

Here, you’ll be able to venture into the Canal Zone and witness two of the world’s most significant manmade marvels.The canal itself is an engineering feat on par with the Pyramids of Egypt; it revolutionized travel and commerce.The other wonder was created from the canal’s construction: you’ll find the world’s largest man-made lake lying just beyond the Gatun locks.

Panama Canal

“The land of the divided, the world united.” It’s hard to imagine a more fitting motto for what in no uncertain terms irrevocably changed the Western Hemisphere forever. For fifty miles the canal transects the exotic emerald jungles of Panama and gives one an appreciation of what a Herculean task it was to build this waterway before the advent of computers and giant earth movers.

Departing January & March 2011 On Board the RV Mekong Pandaw There can be no tapestry of river life as fascinating and varied as the River Mekong. Indeed there can be no more striking a cultural contrast as that between the bustling Vietnam delta and the tranquility of Cambodia. We pass from the vibrant French colonial port of Saigon, now called Ho Chi Minh City, through the vast Delta so rich in human life and endeavour, to travel along the main channel into the rich countryside of Cambodia.

Day 1 Depart on your flight to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Day 2 Phnom Penh Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your overnight hotel, the five star Raffles Hotel Le Royal. The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure in Phnom Penh.

86

Day 3 Phnom Penh

Day 5 Chau Doc / Cu Lao Gien

Breakfast in hotel and free at your own leisure until check-out time and transfer to the port to begin your cruise. Embark your vessel and settle comfortably into your cabin, then spend the afternoon and evening at leisure discovering the city of Phnom Penh.

Moored right in the centre, there is much to see in this attractive former French city: The Royal Palace, the National Museum with its excellent Khmer collections, the Central markets, various temples and monasteries, or perhaps just relax and enjoy a drink at the Raffles Le Royale Elephant Bar.

The main jetty is located in the town centre next to the Victoria Hotel. The market at Chau Doc is excellent and well worth a wander through, or take a trishaw ride to see the sights. A sampan trip to visit the Cham villages is a must, here you can view the cat fish farms contained in great bamboo vats suspended beneath the floors of the Cham houseboats. The town itself retains a ‘French’ style charm with many old colonial buildings now housing offices of the Vietnam Communist Party and its many branches. In the afternoon, visit Cu Lao Gien island and a Catholic monastery called “La Providence” built in 1875 by the French nuns of “Saint Paul de Chatres”. During the Japanese invasion in 1940’s, the monastery was abandoned and operations were not resumed again until 1977. Nowadays Cu Lao Gian serves as a retreat for retired nuns who are taken care of by their successors.

Day 4 Cruising The Mekong We spend the day cruising in the main Mekong channel, an international shipping route. We stop at Prek Touch, a jungle village, to visit the fruit orchards and then set off for the Vietnamese border.

Day 6 Sa Dec / Cai Be In the morning passengers will take an exciting Sampan boat excursion to Cai Be via Vinh Long along canals and backwaters. We will cruise through the colourful floating market which takes place daily in front of the splendid catholic church. The city itself, like all Vietnamese cities is clean, well organized and easy to navigate. You will also visit Sa Dec, said to be the ‘little Venice of Asia’ and it does live up to this name with countless canals bustling with water borne craft of every size and description. The market is great, with a typical hive of Vietnamese bustle and enterprise. Near the market you will find the house of Mr Huyn Thuy Le, remembered as the lover of the French author Marguerite Duras in her classic book L’Amant.

Page 233

Day 8 Saigon City Tour - Cuchi Tunnels Today visit Reunification Hall, Notre Dame Cathedral, the former US Embassy, City Hall and the War Museum of Remnants on your included morning tour. Shop at Ben Thanh market and enjoy lunch in a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, drive to the extraordinary Cu Chi tunnels outside of Saigon. The complicated system of underground networks was built by Viet Cong guerillas. En route, you have chance to see how the rural people live and work. You will see cashew nut farming, duck breeding, rice farming and

the production of rice paper, a key ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine. Return in the early evening for dinner in Saigon.

Day 9 Departure Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and have a last look around Saigon before you transfer to the airport for your return flight home to Dublin.

Day 10 Arrive in Dublin. *Including flights, tours and cruises specified

Day 7 My Tho / Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) Sail early in the morning from Cai Be to My Tho, where you will disembark your vessel.

My Tho is the hub of the Delta. This is a busy commercial port and currently our ships are wedged between the Foster’s Brewery and a timber yard - certainly giving an industrial flavour to this economically active area.

Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh) is the capital of southern Vietnam and after Hanoi, the country’s second city. Remarkably, despite the boom of the past ten years, much of old Saigon has survived and there is still a real L’Indochine feel to the place. It is easy to walk around the central district exploring the broad leafy boulevards and splendid French colonial architecture – the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Post Office and Opera. The Town Hall, scene of the ‘fall of Saigon’ on April 30th 1975 is certainly worth seeing, as is the war museum.

LIABILITY The Organiser shall not be liable for any damage caused to the Consumer by the failure to perform the contract or the improper performance of the contract where the failure or the improper performance is due neither to any fault of the Organiser or Retailer acting on the Organiser’s behalf nor

to that of another supplier of services because:

complaint received thereafter shall be entertained.

(a) the failures which occur in the performance of the contract are attributable to the Consumer;

14. ARBITRATION

(b) such failures are attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for, and are unforeseeable or unavoidable; or (c) such failures are due to (i) unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of the Organiser, the Retailer acting on his behalf or other supplier of services, the consequences of which could not have been avoided, even if all due care had been exercised; or (ii) an event which the Organiser, the Retailer acting on his behalf or the supplier of the services, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. In the case of damage other than death or personal injury or damage caused by defamation or by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Organiser the amount of compensation which will be paid to the Consumer will be limited to, in the case of an adult an amount equal to double the inclusive price of the holiday to the adult concerned and in the case of a minor an amount equal to the inclusive price of the holiday to the minor concerned. The Organiser’s liability will not exceed any limitation applicable under any international convention governing or relating to the provision of the service complained of in the place where they are performed or due to be performed, even if that convention has not been ratified or applied in the Republic of Ireland.

In the event of any liability on the part of the Organiser for injury, illness or death, no payment will be made unless the following conditions are complied with: (I) the Consumer must advise the Organiser in relation to the injury or illness while the Consumer is at the resort and must also write to the Organiser within three months of the completion of the holiday; (II) the Consumer must transfer any rights that the Consumer has, in respect of such injury, illness or death against any person to the Organiser; (III) the Consumer must co-operate fully with the Organiser to enable the Organiser or its insurers to enforce such rights.

In respect of international air travel, the Warsaw Convention 1929 (including as amended by the Hague Protocol of 1995 and by any of the additional Montreal Protocol of 1975) or the Montreal Convention 1999; in respect of rail travel, the Berne Convention 1961, in respect of carriage by sea, the Athens Convention 1974; in respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973; and, in respect of hotels, the Paris Convention 1962. For the Avoidance of doubt, this means that the Organiser is to be regarded as having all benefits of any limitations of compensation contained in any of these conventions or any other international conventions applicable to the Consumer’s holiday. This information notice summarises the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention.

Compensation in the case of death or injury: There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 100,000 SDRs (Special Drawing Rights, approximately €95,000) the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving it was not negligent or otherwise at fault. Advance payments: If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to the compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs (approximately ?15500). Passenger delays: In the case of a passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4,150 SDRs (approximately €3850). Baggage delays: In the case of a passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1,000 SDRs (approximately €930). Destruction, loss or damage to baggage: The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,000 SDRs (approximately ?930). In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of checked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault. Higher limits for baggage: A passenger can benefit from a higher limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee.

Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. Basis for the information: The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002 and national legislation of the member states).

Any dispute or difference of any kind whatsoever which arises or occurs between any of the parties hereto in relation to any thing or matter arising under, Out of or in connection with this contract and/or the holiday connected to this contract shall be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators - Irish Branch.

In the event of the Consumer complaining to the Organiser of the behaviour of the other holiday makers, the Organiser will, if such complaint is justified, use reasonable endeavours by requesting the owner or manager of the accommodation to move the offending holiday makers or alternatively to move the Consumer to a quieter part of the premises, but shall not be responsible for the action or lack of action taken by the owner or manager on foot of such a complaint.

18. IDENTITY OF CARRIERS We are obliged to inform you, at time of booking, of the identity of the operating air carrier(s) which is due to perform, or likely to perform, your flight and if there are any changes to the operating air carrier(s) we are obliged to inform you of any such change(s) as soon as possible.

Please note that for each ticket there are additional terms which are specific to that fare. Most instant purchase tickets are non-refundable when cancelled. You are responsible for complying with any airline’s

1. Contract Any booking made or order placed by you, whether through the SUNWAY website or otherwise, shall be deemed an offer by you to purchase the relevant items subject to these booking conditions. Note that SUNWAY are selling the tickets as agents for the airlines, which means the contract for the flight product will be between you and the airline.

Booking Conditions terms in relation to check-in times, reconfirmation of flights or other matters. In relation to flight tickets, you are required to use all flight coupons in order of sequence. If this requirement is not met the airline may void the ticket.

2. Reservations Be aware that certain airlines do not maintain “real time” seat availability in the airline reservations system to which we connect. Whilst every effort is made to reflect the true situation, instances may occur when airlines cancel sales. SUNWAY will advise you if this is the case and will do all they can to reinstate your booking.

3. Tickets If it is not possible to get your flight tickets to you (e.g. because your travel date is imminent) we may insist that you have an “e-ticket” or a TOD (ticket on departure) generated. A TOD is when you will have to pick up your ticket at your point of departure. We will ensure you know exactly where to pick up your tickets.

Where an airline provides e-ticketing on a specific route this will be the only ticketing option made available. Electronic tickets are stored in the airline’s computer rather than printed on paper. The service is similar to the traditional paper ticket process but eliminates the time and hassle associated with purchasing or exchanging a paper ticket.

When you arrive at the airline check in desk you will be required to present an official form of identification (i.e. passport) to receive your boarding pass. Please note that you must print out your confirmation page or confirmation email to show to the airline. Because your e-ticket is held in the airline’s computer, you cannot forget it or lose it. More importantly, your e-ticket cannot be stolen, saving you the cost of a replacement ticket. You do not have to wait for your e-ticket to be delivered to you.

4. Flight Reconfirmation All onward and return flights must be reconfirmed with the relevant airlines at least 72 hours prior to the commencement of that leg of the journey unless specifically informed otherwise by that airline. SUNWAY accepts no responsibility for bookings cancelled due to non-compliance with rules set by that particular airline. SUNWAY also take no responsibility for any flight rescheduling en route.

5. Passports/Visas/Health Requirements It is incumbent upon you the client to ensure that you meet the passport, visa, health requirements of the countries you wish to visit and those that you transit (even if it is for a plane change) and that you contact the relevant Embassy for information in this regard. Many countries require that your passport should be valid for a period of (a minimum) six months from the date of arrival into that country. SUNWAY does not accept any responsibility if you should be denied boarding or deported due to non-fulfillment of the above. All passengers including children under 16 require individual passports 6. Insurance SUNWAY strongly urges you to carry appropriate travel insurance to cover you for cancellation, health, baggage etc.

7. Airline regulations/conditions of carriage Please note that in all transactions SUNWAY acts as agents of the airlines you have chosen to book on. Conditions of carriage are available on request. Please note: Some airlines charge for the carriage of secod bag.

Please refer to airlines website for further details.

8. Cancellation / Amendments If you need to change or cancel your travel plans, it is your responsibility to notify SUNWAY in writing of such request. Most tickets are nonrefundable, but some can be amended for a change fee, plus any applicable penalties. Most scheduled airlines do not allow name changes.

SUNWAY can apply the relevant administration fee per booking for any modifications, changes or cancellations to fares. This will be regardless of the price or face value of the fare. In addition to the SUNWAY charges, most airlines also have a penalty or cancellation fee for any changes or cancellations to fares.

9. Refunds If you want to cancel your journey it is important that you notify us in writing with utmost urgency. This enables us to cancel your reservation with the airline. Please note most instant purchase tickets are nonrefundable when cancelled.

If you already have your ticket please submit it to us. Tickets must be sent To Sunway Travel, Marina House, Clarence Street, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin On receipt of the ticket we will send you an acknowledgement that we have received it. Those tickets which are refundable or cancelled by us will be processed and refunded back to your credit card in approximately 16 weeks from our receipt of the ticket. Some tickets may need to be submitted to the airline for the cancellation and/or refund to be authorised. In this event your refund request may take longer, but we will advise you in our acknowledgement of the expected turnaround period.

Please note that most airlines do not refund on part used tickets. Tickets which are returned more than 1 year from date of issue are classified as expired tickets and must be submitted to the airline for their authority to refund.

10. Lost Tickets If you lose your tickets, it may be possible to re-issue them for a fee. The amount payable will depend on the circumstances of the loss and how

96

close to the travel date you discover it. However, not all tickets can be reissued; which is another good reason for ensuring you have sufficient insurance cover. Tickets will be dispatched to you in accordance with your instructions and we accept no responsibility for their delivery. Lost tickets which cannot be reissued are refunded at the sole discretion of the airline; these refunds can take up to one year to be authorised.

11. Liability As SUNWAY acts as agent this will mean that it will have no contractual liability to you in respect of the flight product. However, it may still be liable to you if it has been negligent; it has misrepresented important information or has been in breach of any other relevant law.

12. Unreasonable behaviour If in the reasonable opinion of a person acting in authority you are not fit to travel, he or she may refuse to let you board the aircraft. Normally this happens if such person thinks you are likely to disturb or harm other passengers. In this case your contract with SUNWAY will end immediately and we will no longer be responsible for you

illness or death as a result of any act or omission of your car hire company or you having any complaint about the quality of the services provided or having any other complaint at all, your sole right of redress will be against the car hire company who provided such service and that we will be under no liability at all (whether in contract, tort or otherwise).

Without prejudice to paragraph 1 hereof, in the event that we are found liable on any basis whatsoever in relation to your booking our maximum liability to you, if Sunway is found to have been at fault in relation to any service that Sunway provided (as opposed to any service provided by the car hire company for whom Sunway is not responsible) is limited to the cost of the booking in question.

We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligent act or omission or our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.

We shall not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss, including economic loss, which term shall include loss of profits, loss of use of profits, business, revenue, and goodwill or anticipated savings
