PRESTIGE Your holiday. Our speciality.

Hello and welcome to Prestige I’m so delighted to show you our wonderful holidays to Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia. When we set up Prestige Holidays back in 1989, I’d already been in the travel industry since leaving school and had witnessed first hand the rapid growth of overseas holidays. Those were exciting times, but all too soon the connection with the customer and a pride in giving good service were in danger of being lost. That’s why we set up Prestige, with a mission to deliver service, value and our unparalleled expertise to our customers. Then, as now, we only offered destinations which we knew intimately, and our passion was to ensure that our customers received the holiday they deserved. Good things rarely go out of fashion and I’m delighted to say that, almost thirty years later, our business still firmly stands on those foundations. Our customers place great trust in us and continue to enjoy the treasures that we find for them, time and time again. We are happy to stake our name on it, and offer our Prestige Pledge to hand-pick only those places that will make your holiday special. Croatia is a place with an outstandingly beautiful coastline, deep green forests and national parks, of stunning medieval towns and villages with exquisite architecture. The shimmering sapphire and aquamarine coast and islands will make you wonder why you didn’t visit sooner. From Porec and Opatija on the Northern shores through Zadar to Split further South and on to famous Dubrovnik with over 1000 sparkling islands in between, the world is having a love affair with Croatia. An ongoing one. I take great pride in introducing you to all of my colleagues at Prestige. From our reservations team to our in-resort reps, we have first-hand, in-depth knowledge of our resorts and hotels – like no other tour operator I know of. But please don’t just take my word for it, I encourage you to call us and discover this for yourselves. Best wishes

John Dixon Managing Director and fellow traveller

PRESTIGE PLEDGE We put a little more thought into getting it right and only offer those destinations which we know extensively. We are very proud of the hotels we select and equally as proud of the approach we take in choosing them. Not all luxury hotels are the same and ideas of luxury vary. For some the location, a small number of rooms and a creative kitchen fit the bill. Others may prefer an hotel with a spa or several dining options. Whatever your preference we have some very attractive ideas to tempt. After hand-picking our resorts and hotels we aim to send our Reservations team to explore them. So when you call with a question you won’t get a stock answer from someone reading from a website, you will receive unparalleled service from someone, just like you, who has been there and experienced the resort first hand. We believe this helps us find you the holiday you deserve. OUR LOYALTY REWARD We are thrilled that many of our clients travel with us frequently. In recognition of this we are delighted to offer a reduction of £40 per booking for the second booking of seven nights or more including flights. OUR PEOPLE The trend is for independent-style holidays. Reps are less in demand than years ago. Our reps visit once during a seven night hotel stay. On shorter stays, you may not see a representative. Airport greet and information envelope are always provided. We have reps in most resorts. No reps on islands of Losinj, Rab, Sipan, Mljet, Vis. In Zagreb, Brtonigla, Bale near Rovinj, National Parks and Plitvice Lakes. Emergency telephone contact provided in welcome letter on arrival. PRESTIGE IN THE CROATIAN COMMUNITY In the Kvarner region of Croatia, five miles from Rijeka city, the “Pegaz” centre has been providing equine assisted therapy since 2001. Located in beautiful woodland with indoor and outdoor riding centres, “Pegaz” provides recreation, therapy and sport to young people with disabilities or disadvantages. From 2019 Prestige Holidays UK will be giving an annual donation of €1,000 to “Pegaz” in support of their excellent work.

PRICING & VALUE On each hotel featured in this brochure you will see guide prices for each month throughout the season. These prices typically include flights from London Gatwick for a seven night stay (see page 144 for all other airports). Flight costs can vary enormously depending on when you book and what flight you need so these prices are only ever a guide. Our reservations team are on hand to find the best airfares available and combine them with the latest hotel offers to get an up to the minute price for you, so please call us on 01425 480 400 or ask your travel agent to call on your behalf. FINANCIAL SECURITY – ATOL BONDED We are long-time members of ABTA and the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). That means we take a personal pride in our service before, during and after your holiday. Your money is protected with us, which is not always the case if you put your own arrangements together on the web. We hold an Air Travel Organisers Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL 2509). PRESTIGE OFFERS We pride ourselves in giving real value to our customers and many of our hotels have great offers and discounts throughout the year. We list key offers on each hotel page so call us or visit www.prestigeholidays.co.uk to check all our latest offers. • Free nights • Complimentary meals

• Substantial savings for families with children • Early booking reductions

We have some truly superb special offers, details can be found on page 12. HOTEL CLASSIFICATIONS What a confusing subject this is! So much is in the eye of the beholder. We visit every hotel we feature every year, which is why we are so comfortable giving you our professional opinion alongside the official government classifications, which are usually decided on a variety of points, such as size of bedrooms and public areas, ratio of staff to guests and choice of restaurants. Sometimes these star ratings are arbitrary and, in our opinion, not always accurate. Price is another indicator. If we don’t like it we don’t offer it!

CROATIA BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL – THE WORLD IS TALKING ABOUT CROATIA! F AC TS

Modern country, joined European Union in 2013. English widely spoken. In 2017 there were over 16 million tourists who chose Croatia, around 800,000 from UK. Two pin round plug as elsewhere in Europe/220v.

D RI N K I N G T AP WAT E R

Safe water. Recent research by UNESCO puts Croatia’s drinking water as one of the best in the whole of Europe.

MONEY

Not the Euro in Croatia! Croatian currency is the Kuna divided into 100 Lipa. Best obtained in Croatia at cash machines, banks, bureaux de changes and hotels. Credit cards accepted in larger businesses/ restaurants/hotels. Euro is the currency in Montenegro and Slovenia.

D RI VI N G A N D C AR H I R E

Driving on the right as in the rest of Europe. Excellent motorways (with tolls) and ferry network. Well signposted. Some stunning scenic drives on the old Adriatic coast road. Enjoy off-the-beaten-track, selfdrive discoveries (see pages 133-134).

E X C U RS I O N S AN D A C TI VI T I E S

Many boat trip options. Both small coves and long beaches. Excursions include historic places, national parks, cities and islands. Book with our local representative. Visit Venice for the day from resorts in Istria and Kvarner Riviera. Visit Montenegro from the Dubrovnik area. Amazing coastline and water-based activities go hand-in-hand: diving, kayaking, boat hire.

E A TI N G O U T

From fast food to fine dining and lots in between. Proximity to Italy means great pasta, risotto and pizza! Big on seafood and fish on coast. Superb dried ham and local cheeses. Famous Kvarner Bay scampi (langoustines) and Ston mussels and oysters. Award winning Istrian olive oil. Superb wines and cheaper local carafe selection. Restaurants, konobas (rustic/less formal) and fast food options. Inland more meat-based dishes. Croatia has gained three Michelin star restaurants, `Monte’ in Rovinj, Pelegrini in Sibenik and 360 in Dubrovnik, many more Michelin ‘highly commended’ restaurants.

Closer than you think. London to Pula, Rijeka, Zagreb is two hours, London to Dubrovnik is two hours and 30 minutes. Add 15 to 30 minutes for departures from Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin (see page 145).

T R A NS F E RS /T R A N S F ER T I M ES

We use the best possible route. May include ferries, catamarans or private boats. We can quote private transfers – just for you. Shared transfers are usually people carriers/mini-buses. This keeps holiday costs down but please be aware that shared airport to hotel or port transfers may involve collecting a number of clients arriving/departing on different flights scheduled to arrive/depart at around the same time and these transfers may also drop off/pick up clients from other hotels en route. All are air-conditioned vehicles. Please bear in mind that a ferry or catamaran is not a luxury cruise ship!

C R OA T I A N BE A CH ES

Few sandy ones, where they exist we say so. Mainly pebble, paved, stone, often easy steps in from paved-stone beaches. Some rocky beaches often also have steps into the sea. Very clear water.

C U L T UR E, H ER I T A G E, FESTIVALS

95% Roman Catholic. Huge arts, culture, festival scene: music, film, drama, sport, gastronomy. Istrian truffle season September/October. Speak to our local representative and hotel receptionists. Many summer festivals. Ulysses Festival on Brijuni islands in August has openair Shakespeare. Nine UNESCO World Heritage sites: Split and Diocletian’s Palace, old city of Dubrovnik, Euphrasian Basilica complex Porec, city of Trogir, St James Cathedral and St Nicholas Fortress in Sibenik, the Zadar walls, Stari Grad Plain on Hvar, Plitvice Lakes National Park.

I S L A NDS I N M A Y A N D T R A NS F E RS

On ferries/catamarans to/from the islands, you handle your own baggage (unless VIP private transfer booked including sea crossing). We give optimum travel times to the islands. There may be waits for ferries

or traffic queues at ports in high season. Travel to/from islands on Saturdays in July and August should be avoided. Islands tend to wake up later after winter. Weather may be lovely yet small places may only have a couple of bars and restaurants working in May. Great for peace and quiet.

H O T EL DES C R I P T I O NS A N D F A CI L I T I ES

We show the official star rating. And we give our honest opinion. Trees grow down to the coast in Croatia. Seaview means a clearer, view to sea. Seaside means there may be trees obscuring view. Inland is inland maybe over a garden, maybe not, but never over a factory! • Lifts – we say “no lift” if there isn’t one (usually heritage buildings). • Rooms for the disabled – there are a few. They sell out fast. Please ask. • Entertainment – usually run by hotel. Often mid June-mid September only. • Watersports – run by hotels and independent operators. Most places. • Wellness/spas – some hotels charge for saunas. Pay direct for treatments. • Sunbeds – Some places charge. Ask locally. Most five star hotels include. • Beach/pool towels – Five star hotels usually include + some four star superior. Maybe pack one. • Tea & coffee in room – Very British thing. Uncommon in Croatia. We say where it exists. If we do not say in the hotel description that there is tea and coffee making in the rooms, it means that there is not. If important to you, please take a travel kettle and English tea bags. Hotels may limit amount of tea and coffee in rooms provided daily. Ask for milk at the hotel bar/ restaurant (maybe charged). • Meals – Most hotels offer buffet style for all meals. Hotels can vary their meal policy. If there is a waiter served special menu, we say so. • Drinks with meals – Pay locally. Where drinks are included with meals we say so. • Television – Some English channels. Croatian television shows English and American films in English with Croatian subtitles.

SPECIALLY ‘CHARTERED BY US’ DIS C O V E R C R O A T I A

Small ship, casual cruising is the perfect way to explore picturesque coastal towns and some of the many stunning islands along the coast of Croatia. Join one of our specially ‘Chartered by Us’ voyages, accompanied by a Prestige Holidays Tour Manager, and including two guided excursions.

Omis • Brac • Split • Sibenik • Vis • Hvar • Korcula • Mljet • Slano • Dubrovnik Due to popular demand Prestige Holidays is offering three specially ‘Chartered by Us’ seven-night voyages on a choice of two ships for 2019. The MS Providenca was completely refurbished in 2018 and now displays a stylish, modern interior. She will sail round-trip from Dubrovnik on a Dalmatian Highlights itinerary. The MS Agape Rose, a modern, sleek motor cruiser will sail from Omis to Dubrovnik on the Highlights of the South Adriatic itinerary. See page 17 for more detail of ships. With a maximum of just 38 or 40 guests, both cruisers are ideally suited to explore ‘off the beaten track’ small bays that bigger cruise ships cannot access. On-board, there are no strict dress codes, so kick off your shoes, relax, and enjoy the stunning scenery and gentle pace, in the company of likeminded travellers. The casual feel is continued with breakfasts and light lunches served buffet style. On three evenings, dinner is served instead of lunch. A true highlight of small ship cruising is no overnight sailing. This gives guests ample opportunity to explore the port of call independently and to dine in a local restaurant or Konoba (tavern), and fully enjoy the evening ambience in cafes or bars close by. Swimming stops are made in picturesque bays, yet another advantage of this style of cruising.

On each ‘Chartered by Us’ voyage, two guided excursions are included, to enhance your experience. On the MS Providenca, enjoy a boat trip along the Cetina River and the ‘Taste of Dalmatia’ tour which includes a wine tasting. On the MS Agape Rose, enjoy the Cetina River boat trip plus an informative guided tour of the Island of Vis. Additional optional walking tours and excursions are available to purchase providing an insight into the history of the ports visited, which include several UNESCO World Heritage Sites along the route. As well as a Cruise Manager and attentive crew, you will be accompanied by a Prestige Holidays Tour Manager who will be on hand to ensure your holiday is completely carefree. CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS • Ships chartered by Prestige Holidays

• Relaxed and casual – no dinner jackets or cocktail dresses required • Small, intimate motor cruisers visit bays which cannot be accessed by larger cruise ships • Overnight mooring to enjoy the evening ambience and local dining options • Two included excursions on each voyage

MS Agape Rose

C ASUAL CRUISES RELAX, AND DISCOVER THE BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL CROATIAN ADRIATIC Our casual cruises are operated by stylish yet casual motor cruisers (no sails required). They are not luxury cruises. All our cruise boats can make swimming stops in small bays that larger craft cannot access. This is all about relaxing. No Ritz of the Seas, no ball gowns. Leave your dinner jacket and tiara at home. Casual clothes only. Be aware that a motor cruiser is not a giant cruise ship. If you love massive, ocean going cruise liners with entertainment, pools and spas, this is not for you! Don’t expect enormous cabins (although those on the Agape Rose are rather spacious in our opinion) or designer shower gels! Cabin towels provided. Port and local taxes are payable locally. Details with each cruise. Credit/debit cards are not accepted on board – cash only. The onboard currency is Croatian Kuna. Cash machines are in all ports of call. Included meals on board are breakfast and lunch (unless shown otherwise on the relevant cruise programme. See pages 17 to 20) and are served buffet style. Breakfast includes cereals, breads, yoghurt, fruit and a hot dish. Lunch is simple Mediterranean style usually offering two main course choices, side salad and dessert. No gourmet meals. If you crave gastronomic delights, you are free to enjoy evening dining at local restaurants which allows you the choice of dinner style. Usually we arrive at the next stop between 4-6pm.

1 6 CR UI S E S

All cruises have free Wi-fi – on board signal may be variable due to location at sea. Beach towels are available for hire on board (charge).

We believe that these casual cruises are perfect for couples and groups of friends. Please carefully read the description of each craft on page 17.

Our partners in Croatia may occasionally have to change a craft. Any alternative will normally be of the same or superior standard unless operational or weather conditions prevent this.

Important to note: There are optional walking tours with a guide in most ports of call. Also additional excursions are available. All bookable on board with direct payment on board in Croatian Kuna.

SO, WH A T ’S IT L IK E?

• Towels are changed once weekly unless stated otherwise. Bring your own beach towel or hire on board (charge); • On board bar is pay-as-you-go. Running a tab is not possible; • Bring your own snorkeling equipment or buy it locally; • Occasionally several boats dock together. You may have to step across an adjacent craft; • Storage space in cabins is limited. Best to take soft luggage rather than hard cases; • Cabins are always smaller than hotel rooms; • Meals: As described above. Full board option (includes evening dinner on board) available on all cruises.

The Croatian coast and her islands are beautiful beyond belief. The sea and everything and anything “maritime” is part of the Croatian soul. Many repeat guests on these cruises. The perfect cocktail of a dramatic coastline with over 1000 islands, the pristine state of the sea itself and the vivid colours – one moment deep sapphire blue, the next a kind of turquoise-aquamarine which makes the Croatian Adriatic so very special. Tiny ports, hidden coves, wonderful panoramas, historic cities and unspoilt locations. “Casual” and “relaxation” are what these cruises are about. We offer three itineraries. See pages 17 to 20 for full details.

ISTRIA N RI VIERA

‘‘

FLY TO PULA, TRIESTE (ITALY), RIJEKA. The beautiful heart shaped peninsula just across the Adriatic from Italy (easy two hour day trip to Venice) which many people say “has it all”. They mean that Istria has beautiful pebble beaches, stunning rolling valleys and hilltop medieval villages, a unique National Park in the Brijuni islands, excellent sporting options and fantastic food. Croatia’s first Michelin star restaurant was Monte in Rovinj. There are award-winning olive oil and wine and groves and vineyards which stretch as far as the eye can see. Istria has a great programme of festivals, many relating to wine and food (especially truffles). Events featuring theatre, music and dance take place all over the region including some inside Pula’s famous Roman amphitheatre and the Porec Street Life Festival (June-September) is one of the biggest in Croatia with over 40 events, most of them free. Two golf courses (on Brijuni and near Savudrija), a couple of riding stables where swimming with horses is possible and great outdoor biking trails complete the fabulous outdoor picture. AMAZING DELFIN SWIM – The Porec Dolphin Swim takes place on the first Saturday in September. Swimming for everyone, non-stop with three distances – 1½, 3 or 5 kms. Everyone gets a medal and you can swim with floats. Superbly organised, there are special parties and bands. Great fun for all.

ZA DAR RI VI ERA BECOMING TALKED ABOUT, UNSPOILT RESORTS, FOUR NATIONAL PARKS EASILY REACHED

‘‘

FLY TO ZADAR & SPLIT ZADAR – is now becoming one of the favourite places on this stretch of coast. At the northern end of the Zadar Riviera. Rich culture, historic ramparts. Striking main street and Forum, testament to the Roman period. Famous Greeting to the Sun and the Sea Organ are more recent attractions. Buzzing place with a great choice of bars and restaurants. In summer some wonderful events both outdoors and in the famous Arsenal building. The ancient walls of Zadar gained UNESCO Heritage status in 2017. Easy day trips on ferries and boats over to islands for some hidden beaches and a “far away” feel (even though under an hour ride). BIOGRAD NA MORU – A lovely resort with real Mediterranean feel. Something of a new discovery for UK visitors. Prices in restaurants and bars are often a little lower than in other more famous places on the coast. Pretty little town. Hugs the waterfront. Narrow streets. Good beaches both stone and pebble. Excellent water sports. Choice of bars, restaurants and shops. Early August for the amazing Sea Algae Festival. 29 km’s from Zadar, 47 km’s from Sibenik. VODICE – Another newcomer to UK visitors. Former fishing village. Now pretty resort where most of the action is around the harbour (two harbours actually). Pretty waterfront with good choice of bars and restaurants. Just one tower of the original 16th century stone wall remains. Interesting small museums. Quick ferry to small islands and their sleepy villages for a real “away from it all” feel. Late July for the jazz and blues Festival. Good beaches mainly stone, some pebble. NATIONAL PARKS – Kornati Islands, Krka, Paklenica and Plitvice are glorious National Parks within a few hours drive. SIBENIK – The historic town of Sibenik is just one hour away and we offer the boutique style Heritage Life Palace Hotel there. See www.prestigeholidays.co.uk

ISL AN D OF BRAC

‘‘

FLY TO SPLIT THEN FERRY OR CATAMARAN Brac is a favourite of mine. It is one of the most beautiful islands. Third largest of all of them yet totally unspoilt. Excellent beaches including famous Zlatni Rat at Bol, long and V shaped pebble and shingle with sand in places underfoot in the sea. Vineyards as far as the eye can see in places and old criss-crossing shepherd trails now perfect for walkers. Excellent excursions. BOL – On the south coast. Most buzz Jul/Aug. Laid back other months. Famous Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape) beach, with beautiful pine wood, great for shade and a good fast food bistro here and an excellent choice of watersports – some of the best in Croatia. Lovely old part of town has hidden courtyards, squares, church and museum. Bol Summer Festival from mid June to mid September. SUPETAR – On the north coast. Largest town on Brac, in fact the island’s capital. More like large fishing village. Pretty horseshoe-shaped waterfront spot. Bars, restaurants and good pine fringed beaches under a 10 minute stroll. Supetar Summer Festival runs from mid June to mid September. POSTIRA – Slightly to the east of Supetar. Lovely fishing village. The quietest spot of all. Still somewhat sleepy in May so if you like calm, go then! Some secluded coves. Rare sandy beach at Lovrecina is narrow. Has good beach bistro June-September. COMBINING BRAC AND HVAR – The fastest way between these neighbouring islands is by catamaran – for foot passengers only. Departs Bol late afternoon, arrives in Hvar 25 minutes later. FLYING TO BRAC – Direct 50 minute flight from Zagreb to Brac airport in summer. Great combination of the capital and this stunning island.

ISLAND OF HVAR OFFICIALLY THE SUNNIEST ISLAND IN THE ADRIATIC. ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY TOO

‘‘

FLY TO SPLIT The Jet-set and party goers are what gets talked about and they are mainly in Hvar Town in July & August, so avoid these months if you are not in the party spirit! HVAR TOWN – On the south west coast of the island. A horseshoe shaped old town hugging the water’s edge. Exquisite with pale honey coloured piazzas and promenades and a big square, churches and monuments. Europe’s oldest, continually operating public theatre (1612). The Arsenal museum is worth a look. For Hvar Town, May, June, September and October are the best times to visit. Sophisticated yet laid back. Lively bar scene high season. More chill-out away from July and August. Good restaurants. Foot passenger catamaran service from Korcula and Split. Walk up the zig zag path to the Citadel for great views. Take a local taxi boat out to Pakleni Otoci (Hells islands rough translation) for nice swimming. STARI GRAD – Founded in 384 BC by the Ancient Greeks, there’s a more cultured feel in Stari Grad than in Hvar Town. Lovely waterfront with good choice of restaurants, bars and wine tasting cellars and the wide Maslinica Bay nearby with a part sandy beach. The town’s most famous building Tvrdalj, a 16th century palace with Renaissance garden and pool unchanged since it was the home of Petar Hektorovic, a famous Croatian writer and aristocrat. Well worth a visit. Summer Festival usually from around 24 June till end August and sometimes another smaller one mid September, both featuring musical events, exhibitions and wine-food tastings. On the north coast is where you may arrive by ferry. Around 20 kms from Hvar Town. Also the UNESCO listed Stari Grad plain 10 minutes from town.

ISLAND O F V IS

‘‘

FLY TO SPLIT Arrive by ferry or catamaran from Split. Farthest offshore inhabited island in the Adriatic and 35 miles from the Croatian coast. The island only has a couple of hotels. Best time to travel is in late May, June, early July and in September and early October. Nobody comes to Vis for luxury hotels, glitzy cocktail bars or sophistication. Vis is the oldest urban settlement in Croatia. Best known for two military periods: The battle of 1811 and during World War 2, Vis became the base for Tito and his Partisan movement against Germany assisted by the British. Due to the island’s strategic position it was off limits to foreigners from 1944 to 1989. The runway built by the RAF is still visible today (the airport “building” is now a wine bar). At just 90 square kilometres and with a population under 4,000, Vis lives from fishing, wine making, tourism and now – from the movies: The sequel ‘Mamma Mia here we go again’ film was shot on the island in autumn 2017. VIS TOWN – a beautiful natural harbour with old Renaissance palaces and fishermen’s houses especially in the old town district called Kut. A holiday on Vis requires an open mind and a relaxed attitude. We love it!

FLY TO ZAGREB Famous Lonely Planet placed Zagreb at the top of places to visit in 2017. Over one and a half million visitors in 2018. Quite amazing for a small capital city. Zagreb is Europe’s newest capital and clearly the choice of many lovers of short breaks. Very Central European style café society and locals enjoy time spent over coffee and conversation. Fantastic programme of events year round with many outdoor ones from May to October. The city is green with more parks and gardens than you might imagine. The lovely Botanical Garden just five minutes walk from the centre. Pretty Upper Town is reached on foot via Radiceva to the Stone Gate. Or by a little funicular train. An area of cobbled streets, courtyard restaurants and bars, art galleries (a slight feeling of Montmartre?). The Sabor, the Croatian Parliament. The Lower Town is home to shops and some fantastic museums. Don’t miss the Miragoj cemetery. Famous Dolac market is a must see. Zagreb has superb evening entertainment. Opera at a fraction of the price in London, concerts and music festivals. Great restaurant scene. Restaurant week May & Oct, special menus. Our hotels are centrally located. Tram system is cheap and efficient. “Pocket sized Vienna” and a “fairy-tale capital”. Perfect for a weekend away or combine with a few days on the Adriatic sea. Opatija just an easy two hour drive away.

NATIONAL PARKS, SPECTACULAR WATERFALLS, LAKES & FORESTS – CROATIA’S GREEN AND GLORIOUS INTERIOR.

So many combinations are possible. Ask us. We really are the experts. EIGHT NATIONAL PARKS Two of these are actually island chains: the Kornati Archipelago (1) around 100 tiny islands and reefs mostly uninhabited. Best seen by boat, on a day trip from Murter, Northern Dalmatia. THE BRIJUNI ISLANDS (2) – became NP in 1983. Before then, preferred residence of Tito, leader of former Yugoslavia. Cycle through woodland and park. Day trip from Fazana – 15 minute crossing. Excursions from most places in Istria. RISNJAK NATIONAL PARK (3) within the Gorski Kotar mountain range. North Croatia. Gorgeous flora and fauna. Marked trails, pools and streams. Home to brown bear and lynx. Easy for a day trip from Kvarner or Istria regions. THE PLITVICE LAKES NATIONAL PARK (4) – Croatia’s most visited attraction and merits at least a whole day. Well connected to the motorway system. THE PAKLENICA NATIONAL PARK (5) – and the Northern Velebit National Park (6) adored by hikers. Excellent trails. Paklenica contains gorges, mountains and caves plus sequence of tunnels and bunkers built for defence in the past. KRKA NATIONAL PARK (7) has around 17 blue cascades tumbling down over limestone sediment resulting in pools in semi-submerged forest. Usually accessed by boat from Skradin. Easy from central or northern Dalmatia regions. MLJET NATIONAL PARK (8) – is actually part of Mljet island. The two main attractions appear to be “lakes” (but are actually narrow inlets connected to the sea). The large lake is home to St Mary’s island with its Benedictine monastery. Great hiking and biking trails. Easily reached from Dubrovnik. WALKING, HIKING, BIKING Most of the national parks have excellent walking trails and Mljet and Brijuni avoid hills. The islands of Hvar and Brac both offer superb walking. Into the mountains visit the Northern Velebit, the Biokovo Mountains or Gorski Kotar. Biking on offer. Istria region where old railway tracks provide access across the beautiful Mirna Valley.

In our opinion, this is the best hotel in the area and six kms from Plitvice Lakes. Hotel is in the style of Alpine lodge and is family owned and run.

The Plitvice Lakes are, justifiably, the most visited attraction in Croatia. UNESCO listed natural heritage site. Sixteen lakes along eight kilometres. Waterfalls cascade, resulting in a stunning turquoise patchwork of water. Breathtakingly beautiful. Lakes can change colour from blue-green depending on recent rainfall. Well marked paths, regular shuttle buses and boats plus English speaking staff. Easy drive from Zagreb airport in around two hours (140 kms). From Zadar airport one hour 50 minutes (130 kms). From Rijeka airport around two hours 30 minutes (166 kms). We strongly recommend that you allow at least one day at Plitvice – this is not the place to rush in and rush out (although some tour groups do!)

“A perfect place to stay to visit Plitvice Lakes.“ A C C O M MO DA T I O N

• 20 air-conditioned, spacious rooms, upgraded 2018. Twins, doubles and family rooms (these sleep five). Some rooms have terrace or balcony. All with mini-bar, kettle (plus tea & coffee), satellite TV, safe, hairdryer, robes and slippers. Bathrooms have bath with shower.

WILD BEAUTY South of Croatia. Beautiful little country. Direct flights to Tivat and Podgorica in Montenegro or to Dubrovnik in Croatia. Montenegro is easy to twin with many places in Croatia especially with the Dubrovnik Riviera and islands. It is roughly the size of Northern Ireland with mountains, valleys and lovely beaches, mostly pebbles and some sand. Old towns, quaint villages, Roman ruins, and cobbled streets. FACTS – Independent since 2006 and not a member of the EU but uses the Euro as currency. Excellent weather from April to October. Some good wines. Mediterranean style cuisine, lots of fish and seafood. EXCURSIONS – Try inland Montenegro visiting Cetinje the old capital and Skadar Lake and a day trip to famous Dubrovnik, Croatia. KOTOR – UNESCO listed. Exquisite, medieval walled city. No cars. Venetianinspired architecture is prominent. 4½ km-long ramparts walk. Excellent bars and restaurants to suit all budgets. Good shingle beach five minute walk north of old city. BUDVA – Possibly the most well known resort on the coast and has a buzz about it (very busy in July & August). Lovely old walled town, with churches, museums and cobbled streets. Seafront promenade and good beaches. PRZNO – A small place with a lovely sandy beach and a quieter alternative to Budva. The beach is busy in July & August. BECICI – Once an old fishing village. Sand and pebble beaches. Great for families. Good selection of bars and restaurants. Coastal promenade connects to Budva, nice walk, just over a mile.

Atkins Travel Ltd is a member of ABTA and our package holidays that don’t include a flight are protected by means of a bond held by ABTA The Travel Association, 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9EQ www.abta.com. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA or ABTA will ensure you are not stranded abroad or will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. The contact details for Atkins Travel Limited are 1 Fridays Court, High Street, Ringwood, Hampshire BH24 1JA (‘the Company’s Office’), enquiries@prestigeholidays. co.uk, 01425 480 400. Our office hours are 09.00-19.30 weekdays (seasonal), 09.00-17.00 on Saturdays and 10.00-16.00 Sundays (seasonal). 1. We want you to have an enjoyable holiday and so that there is no misunderstanding you should carefully read the following terms and conditions as these will apply to any contract you make with us. 2. We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. 3. The contract is between Atkins Travel Limited (‘the Company’) and the person making the booking and/or the person(s) on whose behalf the booking has been made (‘the Client’). 4. In order to confirm a booking we will require you or our authorised agent to send us (a) the Company’s online booking form properly completed and signed by or on behalf of the Client /an email commitment and (b) the appropriate deposit of £150, or more, per person. See also Clause 12(d). (c) A contract will exist between the Company and you when you pay a deposit/full payment to the Company or its agent or the Company has verbally confirmed the booking. The person signing the booking form confirms with the Company that he has the authority of all persons named thereon to contract on their behalf the services requested in the booking form. 5. The balance of the holiday price shall be paid by the date to be advised but in any event shall not be more than ten weeks prior to your departure. 6. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit. 7. Once you have booked, whatever happens to the value of the Pound, the price of your holiday will not be subject to any currency surcharges or refunds due to the bank contracts we have in place. (a) The price of your holiday is, however, subject to surcharges or reductions on the following items: the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, and the level of taxes or fees imposed by third parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports. However there will be no change within 20 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel because of this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date on your final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our administrative expenses incurred. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. 8. As we plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. You will be informed without delay of a cancellation (for any reason) by the Company and on such a cancellation except where it occurs due to non payment by you, the Company will offer you the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or a full refund of all monies, payable within 10 days of you requesting such refund. Compensation may be payable on a sliding scale. See No. 9 (c). 9. (a) A major change to the contract is one which would involve a significant change to the holiday (e.g. a significant change in resort). (b) If the Company makes a major change after it has confirmed the booking the Company will immediately inform you and offer the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies, payable within 10 days of you requesting such refund. Please read any notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled. (c) Subject to (d) below if the Company cancels, or makes a major change and you accept a refund rather than an alternative, after the date of payment of the balance of the holiday price it will in addition to the choice offered in sub-paragraph (b) of this clause compensate you as follows:

146 BOOKING CONDITIONS

Period before departure date

Compensation due payable per person

More than 70 days 70-29 days 28-l5 days 14-0 days

NIL £25 £40 £50

(d) The provisions of clause (c) will not apply in the event of a major change or cancellation due to any cause beyond the Company’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. The following shall be regarded as causes beyond the Company’s control: (i) Act of God, explosion, flood, fire or accident. (ii) War, terrorism or any threat thereof, insurrection, civil disturbance. (iii) Any government or local authority restrictions or regulations. (iv) Strikes or other industrial actions (or threat thereof). (v) Departure delays (to/from the destination) caused by unavoidable technical problems to transport, strikes, industrial action (or threat thereof), weather conditions, epidemic or pandemic illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company. (e) We will confirm the airline/ferry company identity when you book. If it changes we will advise you. This may be at the airport on the day of departure. A change of airline/ferry company is a minor change to your holiday, as is an alteration of less than 12 hours to the outward/return flight or change of accommodation to the same or higher standard. 10. (a) The Company will consider any reasonable request by you to amend or vary the terms of your travel arrangements but shall not be under any obligation to comply with such a request. Charges will be kept to a minimum, in some cases this may mean amendment or replacement cost of airline tickets. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent. (b) In the event of a reduction by you in the number of persons taking a self contained apartment or hotel room (or hire car) the Company may need to charge for any beds, transfers or seats unused as a result of that reduction. Please ask for a price. (c) You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing as soon as possible and no later than 7 days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer. 11. (a) All reasonable steps to ensure that the holiday is not cancelled or altered as a result of overbooking by hotels will be made by the company. (b) If the hotel is overbooked (despite the Company’s reasonable efforts) and the Company is aware of such overbooking before your departure the Company will immediately inform you and offer the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or of a full refund of all monies, payable within 10 days of you requesting such refund and compensation will be payable in accordance with Clause 9 (c). (c) If the Company does not know of the overbooking of the hotel before your departure you shall on arrival at your destination be offered alternative accommodation. If the alternative accommodation is inferior to that originally booked the Company shall also offer reasonable compensation for disturbance. 12. (a) You may cancel the holiday at any time. The Company will charge you the cancellation fees set out below. Please note the exceptions to these charges set out in (d) below. A cancellation by you must be in writing signed by the person who made the booking or sent the email acceptance and sent to the Company’s Office and acknowledged by the company. (b) The Cancellation charges (expressed as a percentage of the confirmed holiday price) are as follows:

Period before scheduled departure date during which written cancellation is received by the Company:

Amount of cancellation charge

More than 70 days 70-43 days 42-29 days 28-15 days 14-8 days 7-0 days

Deposit/initial payment 30% 50% 70% 80% 100%

Also see (d) below. (c) You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated and for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office. (d) Some properties may demand part or full payment even if a holiday is cancelled. Additionally if we have bought aircraft seats in from another tour operator or a public airfare for you once you confirm your intention to travel, we are committed to pay for those seats or hotel rooms in full. If, therefore, you cancel your holiday at any time after booking, you will be/may be liable for the cost of those seats or hotel rooms in part or full. In these circumstances we, and therefore you, are bound by the booking conditions of the other supplier. We will also require an increased deposit, the amount will be advised at the time of booking. We will remind you of any exception at the time of booking your holiday. 13. The Company shall not be obliged to claim compensation for nor to make any allowances or refund for lost or expired or unendorsed tickets, hotel coupons, or vouchers for any service or accommodation booked. But if any allowance or refund is obtained by the Company it will pass the same on to you less any expenses reasonably incurred in obtaining it. 14. We will make your holiday arrangements with every care. We cannot, however be responsible for any damage or loss of your luggage or other property unless caused by any of our staff or suppliers. We cannot be responsible for any fatal or other injury or illness unless caused by

the negligence of any of our staff or suppliers whilst on duty. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this package. If any of the travel services included in your package are not performed in accordance with the contract, or are improperly performed, by us or the travel service suppliers, and this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements, you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services is due to: you or another member of your party; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, which means a situation beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. 15. All arrangements made by or through the Company in connection with the booking are subject to the contractual terms of the suppliers providing the services that make up your booking. These terms are incorporated into this contract and may limit or extinguish your right to compensation. Further, we are to be regarded as having the benefit of any limit on compensation contained in the relevant international convention. These limit liability for death, injury and loss or damage to baggage. Copies of the contractual terms and international conventions are available on request. 16. If you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday and ask us to help we will provide appropriate assistance, in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance; and helping you to find alternative arrangements and any necessary phone calls/emails. You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault. 17. 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). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. 18. We do not run or control or have any other involvement in any excursions in our holiday destinations and we have not inspected them in any way. All excursion providers are entirely independent of us. If you buy any excursion(s) whilst on holiday, the contract will be between you and the excursion provider. The excursion(s) will not form part of the package or of your contract with us. We cannot accept any liability in relation to any excursion(s) and the acceptance of liability for contracted holiday arrangements in our booking conditions will not apply to them. 19. In the unlikely event of any dissatisfaction with the accommodation or any of the services provided during your holiday the matter must be reported immediately to the local representative or agent of the Company AND the hotelier so that action can be taken to remedy the problem. If we have not been given the opportunity to rectify the complaint at the time this may affect your rights. If the problem is not resolved satisfactorily during the holiday you should submit your complaint in writing to the Company at the Company’s Office within 28 days of the scheduled date of return from the holiday advising the Company of the action taken and the names of the people to whom the matter was reported. A written report must be obtained from our representative where we have one. Except in personal injury or death claims, our liability shall be limited to three times the cost of the holiday paid to the Company. We are a Member of ABTA, membership number V2715. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.

You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

Alternatively AITO & TTA operate similar schemes, please ask for details. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. 20. Every effort is made by the Company to give as accurate a description as possible for the hotels, guest houses, villas, apartments and ships in this brochure. All facilities mentioned in the descriptions are generally available for the duration of the brochure but in certain circumstances (particularly in the low and off seasons) their provision may be limited e.g. weather conditions, maintenance, etc. Please note that the provisions of these facilities and any charges imposed for their use are totally outside the control of the Company. 21.

PASSPORTS You must hold a valid passport. Please note that a visa may be required if you hold a non-UK passport. Please read Visa Information.It is now a requirement of most airlines to collect passport details from every passenger. Please complete the relevant section on the online booking form. If you are 16 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least 6 weeks before your holiday. The UK Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and will ask you to attend an interview in order to do this. For the latest travel advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office check www.gov.uk/travelaware VISA INFORMATION If you are a British citizen and hold a valid UK passport you do not generally require a visa to travel to any of our destinations. However, your own particular circumstances (which will not be evident to us from your booking form) may mean that a visa is required for you or another member of your party. We would strongly urge you to contact the consulate of the country(ies) that you will be visiting to obtain the most up-to-date information before booking with us. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. HEALTH At the time of going to press no inoculations were required for any countries in this brochure. The Department of Health website www.nhs.uk/ehic will give you the latest information about obtaining a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). We will make every reasonable effort to advise you of any health rules but must emphasise that it is your responsibility to ensure any such rules are complied with. Illness or pregnancy may require a “fit to fly” certificate from your GP. Please advise us. REDUCTIONS FOR CHILDREN Some hotels in this brochure do give excellent reductions or even free accommodation for children. See the special offers on each hotel. Infants under the age of 2 years sharing parents’ bedroom will be quoted at time of booking as some hotels may make a hire charge for cots. Our normal charge includes air travel and a standard cot charge. Meals, if taken, will be charged direct by the hotel. In general children 11 years and under sharing parents’ room in hotels (not apartments) are entitled to a discount. Unfortunately children of whatever age occupying adult accommodation are ineligible for these discounts, except where specifically offered. Car seats for arrival and departure transfers can be arranged and will incur a charge. BABY-SITTING Usually notice is needed to book a sitter. Please check their suitability, the cost and the exact service given. SOME HOTELS HAVE minimum stays often during the peak season. We will advise you of these at the time of your enquiry.

within 10 weeks of travel. OUR CONFIRMATION We will process your confirmation as speedily as possible and will then forward to you or your travel agent a full confirmation and invoice.

YOUR MONEY When you buy a flight-based holiday, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us. In the extremely unlikely event of our insolvency, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by him, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on behalf of Prestige Holidays at all times. WHEN DRIVING ABROAD Please carry your driving licence, passport and car hire documents (or copies of them) securely at all times. HOLIDAY PRICE Our prices and any supplements are per person sharing a twin room and are based on return flights from London, unless otherwise stated. Included in our basic holiday price are: • Return flight – including a baggage allowance of one piece unless indicated otherwise on your tickets/itinerary (where included by the airline at no charge). • Accommodation and meal(s) as shown. Breakfast is usually continental. • The appropriate Airport Passenger Duty taxes. • Transfers – from the airport to your accommodation and vice versa. • The assistance of our Representative overseas where applicable. • Special offers (see pages 8 & 12). Extras to our basic holiday price: • Supplements – items such as superior, single or seaview rooms, and flight supplements including flight seats, bags and meals need to be added. N.B.

Please read this information, only by doing so can both you and we ensure that your Prestige Holiday is everything you expect and we wish to provide. We are delighted to offer advice at any time. HOTEL FACILITIES Throughout this brochure Prestige Holidays refers to facilities offered by hotels such as swimming pools, air-conditioning, entertainment programmes, restaurants, children’s clubs, watersports and other amenities. Obviously the availability of all facilities is under the day to day control of the hotel management. Some larger hotels do on occasions host conferences, of which we will be unaware; this may mean restricted or alternative facilities are offered. Air-conditioning and pool heating are not usually on year round, and the dates they operate are subject to hotel management control. We will always try to advise you if any facility is not available. We feel sure you will understand that under these circumstances we cannot guarantee that any such facilities will be available during your stay. If you have a particular interest on holiday, such as tennis or if you will need a children’s club or baby-sitting, we will be very happy to verify that it will be available for you, before you book. Your needs are important – tell us what they are. HOTEL BEDROOMS Most hotel rooms are with twin beds but double beds may be available on request. Single rooms may be smaller. Extra beds or infants’ cots are normally available on request but may tend to ‘cramp’ the bedroom. AVAILABILITY OF HOTEL BEDROOMS Prestige Holidays holds an allocation of rooms at most featured hotels and confirmation of your requirement should be immediate. If this is not possible we will email or telephone the hotel, to avoid any delay to our confirmation. CLASSIFICATION OF HOTELS Hotel classifications quoted are those officially approved in each country. Standards do vary and if you have any doubt as to the suitability of an hotel we are happy to offer advice. HOTEL ARRIVAL If you are travelling on an evening flight your hotel room is of course reserved for the night of your arrival. HOTEL CHECK-OUT Normally 12 noon but if you prefer a later check-out time we will do our best to assist, although the hotel may make a supplementary charge. Check-in times are normally between 2-3 p.m. FLIGHTS Prestige Holidays prefers wherever possible to use scheduled flights. This we believe reduces the chance of delays or cancellations, you travel as an individual and may vary the length of your holiday to anything from a weekend up to one month. Some flights can only be altered in an emergency and only at the discretion of the airline, a charge will be imposed. In the unlikely event of a flight delay, it is your airline’s responsibility to care for you (once you have checked in) and keep you informed of the extent of the delay, meals and overnight arrangements (if applicable). We are required to collect passenger contact details, please complete the relevant section on the online booking form. In the event of a cancellation, a major delay or if you are denied boarding you may be entitled to compensation and/or a refund from your airline but not an automatic refund of holiday costs from us. For details go to www.caa.co.uk. BROCHURE This brochure is issued on the sole responsibility of the tour operator. It does not commit the

We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies, etc. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection in your destination may not be as stringent as the legal requirements in this country. We will only pass on your information to providers/suppliers responsible for the provision of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant providers/suppliers. Please note where information is also held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agent’s own data protection policy. We will hold your information, where collected by us, and may use it to inform you of offers in the future or to send you brochures. If you do not wish to receive such approaches in the future, please tell us. Our full privacy policy can be found on our website.
