Tailor-made 2020-2021

TAILOR-MADE 2020-2021

From the first conversation we had with A&K, we were assured that 

our experience would be special, and we were not disappointed. We 

especially liked that each destination had an A&K office with local staff 

on the ground. There were so many touches that we loved, such as the 

guides assisting with hotel and airport check-ins, and the cool towels 

and ice water available in the car whenever we were returning from 

touring. We enjoyed every moment of our celebratory trip, and we’re 

already planning our next holiday with A&K 

Mrs C, 2019

“Adventure by day, luxury by night” 

Dear traveller, 

In 1962, I founded Abercrombie & Kent with nothing more than a game-changing 

idea, a refrigerated ex-Army truck, and a Texan couple – the Worthings – with whom 

I worked to plan the perfect safari, a 30-day itinerary that went from Kenya to Tanzania 

to Uganda. It was designed just for them and exactly what they wanted. 

More than 55 years later, we still understand that every journey is unique and every 

traveller individual. We continue to deliver personalised holidays, curated around our 

clients’ needs, wants, and desires. 

Our tailor-made service allows you to build your perfect itinerary; mixing 

and matching, choosing from hand-picked experiences, the ultimate in luxury 

accommodation, and bespoke Travel Edits. The result? A truly unique, individual, 

once-in-a-lifetime holiday. 

Whether you wish to get close to the bush on a fly camping adventure in Tanzania, 

meet the Kayapó tribe in the Amazon, or bike Australia’s Barossa Valley, your journey 

will be unforgettable. 

I believe our tailor-made holidays epitomise the heritage and handicraft behind each 

A&K itinerary. Luxury, authenticity, and excitement await you. Let your imagination 

run wild and work with us to build your ideal holiday. This brochure is a mere snapshot 

of the breadth of our offering. Contact an A&K travel specialist, and together you will 

make your dream holiday a reality. 

As always, I wish you happy travels…

The A&K difference 

A&K is the world’s leading luxury travel company. With over 55 years 

of experience, more than 55 offices around the world, and a renowned 

network of connections, only A&K can take you to the heart of a destination 

with the privilege of authentic, local access 

AWARD-WINNING 

A&K’s service and reputation are tested every day 

by the most discerning critics: our clients. Time 

and again, we pass with flying colours. Travellers 

who choose A&K often write to tell us they’re now 

too spoilt to travel with anyone else. 

Our guests vote for us too – thanks to those 

who have journeyed with us, we have won 

distinctions that include ‘Best Tour Operator 2018’ 

in the Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Readers’ Travel 

Awards. In 2018, A&K was ‘Best Luxury Tour 

Operator’ for the third time at the annual News 

UK Travel Awards, as voted for by the readers of 

The Times, The Sunday Times, and The Sunday 

Times Travel Magazine. 

Among our peers, we are consistently 

recognised as the gold standard for luxury travel. 

In 2019, for the 10th consecutive year, A&K was 

voted ‘Africa’s Leading Luxury Tour Operator’ at 

the World Travel Awards. 

WINNER 

BEST LUXURY TOUR OPERATOR 

ACCESS & AUTHENTICITY 

A&K works tirelessly to provide adventures that 

you won’t be able to experience with any other tour 

provider, thanks to our globe-spanning access. 

Underlying each tailor-made holiday is the most 

robust tour operator support network in the travel 

industry – more than 55 offices in over 30 countries 

around the world, all working 24/7 to uphold the 

same impeccable standards. Unlike our competitors, 

we train and manage our own full-time staff, who 

orchestrate every aspect of your holiday with 

precision and flexibility down to the last detail. 

At A&K, we forge lasting, one-on-one 

relationships with the people who know your 

destination best, from craftspeople and chiefs to 

experts in local art and history. This allows us 

to open doors to private palaces; arrange out-ofhours 

tours of museums and galleries; and take 

you beyond the barrier time and time again. Our 

extensive network of connections is the little black 

book that every traveller needs. 

What does this mean for you as an A&K client? 

It means that every experience you have on your 

holiday can be seen from a truly local perspective, 

all while enjoying a seamless travel experience in 

which every detail has been anticipated by our 

dedicated on-the-ground staff. 

PEACE OF MIND 

At home: when you book with A&K, you can do 

so with complete confidence. We’re ATOL (Air 

Travel Organiser’s Licence) affiliated and ABTA 

(Association of British Travel Agents) bonded. Both 

ATOL and ABTA offer travellers forms of protection 

to ensure that your money is safe from the moment 

you pay your deposit until the instant you return 

from your holiday. 

These schemes differ depending on the type 

of transportation that is included in the holiday. 

Managed by the Civil Aviation Authority, ATOLprotected 

holidays include flights. ABTA-covered 

holidays include rail, cruise, or self-drive elements 

but no air travel. ABTA protection is both legal and 

financial in nature and being associated with the 

most-recognisable name in the industry means that 

we adhere to a code of conduct that demands the 

highest professional standards. Additionally, we’re 

proudly part of IATA (International Air Transport 

Association) and AITO (Association of Independent 

Tour Operators). 

And away: should events beyond our control 

impact your holiday, you can rely upon A&K’s 

global network of staff. This worldwide safety net 

of travel-industry professionals will be on hand to 

assist and protect you should anything go awry. 

You can always rely on us. 

BY TRAVELLERS, FOR TRAVELLERS 

When Geoffrey Kent was 16 years old, he rode a 

motorbike from Nairobi to Cape Town. On this 

3,000-mile journey of self-discovery along some of 

Africa’s most dangerous roads, the ethos on which 

he would found A&K occurred to him: adventure 

by day, security and luxury by night. 

It’s been nearly six decades since Geoffrey guided 

his first tour in the Kenyan bush, and we have grown 

into a family of over 2,500 luxury travel specialists. 

These experts are devoted to making your holiday 

dreams an unforgettable reality. 

More than 55 years after our first pioneering safari 

in Africa in 1962, we’re still setting the standard 

for adventurous, luxury holidays. We continue 

to want to take you down the road less-travelled 

by devising meticulously planned, tailor-made 

holidays. Whether you opt to relax on an unspoilt 

beach, or venture into hard-to-reach wildernesses to 

commune with authentic cultures, our experts can 

design the ideal holiday, just for you.

How to tailor-make 

with A&K 

This is more than an A&K catalogue. This is a little book of inspiration for our clients. 

It’s here to help you with that first step from which all others follow, the big decision: 

where do you want to travel to next? 

Inside, you’ll find several new additions we’ve introduced to make planning your luxury, 

tailor-made holiday even easier, from short itineraries to optional experiences. These 

suggestions reveal just some of what’s possible when you travel with us. 

n o t t o b e m i s s e d 

Maybe your heart is set on a destination already, 

or maybe you need some help deciding. We’ve 

showcased the highlights of each country within 

this brochure to give you a glimpse of what’s 

available – from bucket-list landmarks to 

lesser-known must-sees. 

e x p e r i e n c e s 

Without knowing what activities are available, 

trying to settle on a destination is a tough ask. 

That’s why, in each country, we’ve spotlit a handful 

of experiences we can personally arrange for you. 

Choose from hands-on workshops to out-of-hours 

tours; from fast-paced action to cultural immersion 

– we’ve ensured there’s something for everyone. 

i t i n e r a r i e s 

As you browse this brochure, you’ll notice some 

destinations feature full-length itineraries, 

while others include Travel Edits – these are our 

new mini-itineraries, offering you a taster of a 

destination. Each has a theme attached, from arts 

and culture to wildlife, making it easy to decide 

if an Edit is right for you. They can be enjoyed on 

their own, combined to form longer journeys, 

or added as extensions to our full-length 

itineraries. With Travel Edits, you’re the editor.

What constitutes the perfect hotel is a personal 

thing. Perhaps your ideal is an eco-retreat with 

nothing to distract you from the stunning 

surrounds. Or maybe you’re more inclined 

towards a sleek, modern hotel where every need 

is met at the touch of a button. We’ve selected a 

few stand-out properties in each destination to 

help you make up your mind.

PHILANTHROPIC 


Transforming travel: 

from adventure to advantage 

T 

he travel industry is evolving. Greater 

equity and sustainability from tourism 

is becoming a key element in every booking. 

Ensuring that the local community benefits 

from the tourist economy is as vital to many 

of our travellers as their passports, sunscreen, 

and mosquito repellent. 

At Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy 

(AKP), we are dedicated to positively 

impacting lives and livelihoods in the 

communities where our guests travel. We are 

equally committed to ensuring guests learn 

about our philanthropic investments as an 

integral part of their travel experience. 

From Africa to Asia, Latin America to the 

Arctic Circle, we are working with partner 

communities on 42 education, healthcare, 

conservation, and enterprise development 

projects, across 22 countries, and with nine 

full-time A&K Philanthropy co-ordinators. 

OUR FOUR MAIN MISSION OBJECTIVES ARE: 

EDUCATION 

Providing a supportive learning environment, we are committed to enabling 

children and young adults to fulfil their potential through many diverse opportunities. 

CONSERVATION 

Partnering with communities living on the edge of wilderness, we support 

strategies to maintain a balance between endangered species, fragile ecosystems, 

and economic opportunity. 

HEALTH 

We actively support the water, sanitation, and other health-related needs of 

residents within our partner communities, ensuring a healthier life for all. 

ENTERPRISE 

Training our partner communities in self-support and income-generating 

activities, we help drive growth of economic opportunity, and deliver other 

innovations to positively impact local livelihoods. 


AKP in action 

Look for the AKP logo on destination pages – it indicates an opportunity to visit an AKP 

programme on your tailor-made holiday. Some of our current projects include: 

BWINDI COMMUNITY HOSPITAL & NURSING SCHOOL 

UGANDA 

Bwindi Community Hospital provides healthcare to the Batwa 

people, who are among the poorest in the world, and readies the 

next generation of health workers at the new nursing school. 

CAMBODIA CLEAN WATER PROJECT 

CAMBODIA 

In rural Cambodia, where 13 per cent of all deaths are related to 

waterborne illnesses, AKP is constructing wells and bringing clean, 

bacteria-free water to families and communities. 

CHILDREN OF THE RAINBOW SCHOOL 

PERU 

Children of the Rainbow School supplies meals, medical care, 

education, and hope for deprived children in the area surrounding 

the Sacred Valley of the Incas. 

NAKATINDI COMMUNITY & SCHOOL 

ZAMBIA 

Nakatindi Village, a community of 2,800 people living on the edge of 

wilderness, has benefited from AKP projects including a school lunch 

programme, a health clinic, and a bike shop enterprise. 

Our tailor-made holidays can include culturally 

immersive visits to our projects throughout 

the world. Speak to one of our travel specialists 

about this when booking, and see how you can 

transform your travel for good. 


Africa 

Culture, wildlife, and relaxation: Africa has it all. Our tailor-made safaris allow you to follow the 

Great Migration, experience the Namib desert, and cross the continent’s greatest national parks. 

Track gorilla and chimpanzee through dense forest, and explore the wilds of the Okavango Delta. 

Lend a hand to conservation projects, hit cosmopolitan Cape Town, or kick back on white-sand 

beaches in Zanzibar. A&K is a child of Kenya, and we want you to love Africa as much as we do 

“We have travelled several times with A&K and always experienced 

professional, prompt treatment when booking. I think what distinguishes 

A&K most is their people on the ground in each destination; they are 

always efficient and top quality. I would recommend them unreservedly”

As a guide, this six-day suggested holiday 






Terms & conditions For bookings made from 1 July 2019 

Your contract is with Abercrombie & Kent Limited, 

‘the Company’, of St George’s House, Ambrose Street, 

Cheltenham, Glos. GL50 3LG, which is registered in England 

under company number 1082430. The following conditions, 

together with our privacy policy, the relevant information 

set out on our website and any other written information 

we brought to your attention before we confirmed your 

booking, will form the basis of your contract with the 

Company. Please read them carefully before you book. 

By making a booking, the first named person on the booking 

agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that: 

a. he/she has read these Booking Conditions and has the 

authority to and does agree to be bound by them; 

b. he/she consents to our use of information and personal 

data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised 

on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose 

their personal details to us, including where applicable, 

special categories of data (such as information on health 

conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements); 

c. he/she is over 18 years of age and where placing an order 

for services with age restrictions declares that he/she and all 

members of the party are of the appropriate age to purchase 

those services; 

d. he/she accepts financial responsibility for payment of the 

booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking. 

1. BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY 

(a) Our aim is to provide the right holiday to suit your 

requirements. You can call us on +44 (0)1242 547760 or 

email info@abercrombiekent.co.uk and we will tailor-make 

an itinerary for you and provide you with a price per person. 

In order to maintain our customer services standards and to 

assist with the on-going training of our staff, we may record 

or monitor our telephone conversations or emails with you. 

(b) To secure your booking we require a minimum deposit 

of 20% of the total booking cost – or such other amount as 

advised by the Company. If you are booking within 60 days 

of departure, then full payment is required at the time of 

booking. Payment can be made by cheque or by most major 

credit cards in favour of Abercrombie & Kent Limited. If for 

any reason we do not accept your booking your deposit will 

be returned. Some suppliers and holidays over peak seasons 

may require higher deposits at the time of booking. You 

will be notified of these requirements before you pay your 

deposit. 

(c) Many airlines now require the full name of all passengers 

travelling. We will therefore ask you at the time of booking 

to confirm the number of members in your party and 

to provide us with the first forename (as shown in each 

passport) as well as the title and surname of each member. 

(d) Special Requests, such as diet, room location, twin or 

double-bedded room, a particular facility or flight seat which 

are an important factor in the choice of holiday, should be 

indicated in writing at the time of booking. We will pass 

your request on to the hotel or airline but cannot guarantee 

that it will be accommodated. We will also pass on any 

dietary requests to airlines but we recommend that you 

check directly with the airline once your tickets have been 

issued. The Company will try to arrange for Special Requests 

to be met, but cannot guarantee that they will be, nor will 

the Company be liable if any Special Request is not met. The 

provision of any Special Request does not constitute a term 

of your contract with us unless we have confirmed in writing 

that your requirement will be met. 

(e) On receipt of your correct deposit we will book your 

arrangements and issue a Confirmation Invoice. A contract 

will come into existence on the date on which we issue a 

Confirmation Invoice. If your confirmed arrangements 

include a flight, we (or if you booked via an authorised 

agent of ours, that agent) will also issue you with an ATOL 

Certificate. 

(f) It is important for you to check the details on the 

Confirmation Invoice, and ATOL Certificate where 

applicable, as soon as you get it, as these set out the services 

we have agreed to provide. In the event of any discrepancy 

please contact us (or if you booked via an authorised agent 

of ours, that agent) immediately. If you arrange your holiday 

direct with the Company all correspondence and other 

communications will be sent to the address of the person 

who made the initial payment unless you specify otherwise. 

If you request correspondence through a business address, a 

residential address will also be required for emergency and 

security reasons. 

(g) If your booking is made through a travel agent, 

the Company will address all communications to that 

travel agent, who will act as agent for you in regard to all 

communications from us to you. All monies paid by you 

to a travel agent under or in contemplation of this contract 

will be held by the travel agent for the Company until such 

monies are forwarded to the Company. 

(h) The balance is due 60 days before departure. If it is not 

paid in time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as 

cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges set 

out in clause 2 below will become payable. 

2. AMENDMENTS & CANCELLATION 

(a) Amendments by you 

The Company will make every effort to assist you if you wish 

to alter your arrangements, but it may not always be possible. 

Requests for an amendment must be in writing, signed by 

the person who made the initial payment. If it is possible to 

make the amendment, it will be subject to an amendment 

charge of £50 per booking, together with all communication 

charges or other expenses incurred by the Company as a 

result of the change. These charges will be payable whether 

or not the Company succeeds in confirming your requested 

amendment. Scheduled airlines normally regard name 

changes as a cancellation and rebooking, and any alteration 

may incur a 100% cancellation charge in respect of the air 

fare. Please note that save for the transfer of a booking, it 

will not be possible to make changes within 28 days of your 

departure date. Your request may be treated as a cancellation 

and re-booking and the normal cancellation charges 

detailed in clause 2(b) below will apply dependent upon the 

conditions imposed by our suppliers. 

If you wish to change your arrangements while on your 

holiday, all costs are payable by you. 

Date amendments: Should you wish to amend the date of 

departure of your trip this will follow the rules outlined in 

part 2(a) above. The new departure date must be initiated 

within six months of the original date of departure. If 

travel commences after six months of the original holiday 

departure date this will be treated as a cancellation and 

re-booking and the normal cancellation charges detailed in 

clause 2(b) will apply. 

Destination amendments: Should you wish to change 

the destination (unless for reasons of extraordinary 

circumstances outlined below) of your confirmed holiday 

before departure this shall be treated as a cancellation and 

re-booking and the normal cancellation charges detailed in 

clause 2(b) will apply. 

Transfer of booking 

If you or any member of your party is prevented from 

travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone 

else, subject to the following conditions: 

a. that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the 

conditions applicable to the holiday; 

b. we are notified not less than seven days before departure; 

c. you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment 

fee of £50 per person transferring, as well as any additional 

fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and 

d. the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all 

other terms of the contract between us. 

You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for 

payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, 

cancellation charges as set out in clause 2(b) will apply in 

order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds 

will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused 

services. 

(b) Cancellation by you 

All cancellations must be advised in writing, signed by 

the person who made the initial payment and sent to 

the Company at St George’s House, Ambrose Street, 

Cheltenham, Glos. GL50 3LG. Cancellations are effective on 

the day they are received by the Company. Recorded delivery 

is strongly recommended. Since we incur costs in cancelling 

your travel arrangements, the following cancellation charges 

will be payable, depending upon the number of days prior to 

departure the Company receives your notice of cancellation. 

Written advice of cancellation received 

Days prior to departure 

% of total holiday cost 

61 days or more Loss of deposit 

60-46 days 25% of total holiday cost 



Less than 7 days 

100% of total holiday cost 

We will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies 

you have already paid to us. 

Important note: Certain arrangements may not be amended 

after they have been confirmed and any alteration or 

cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% 

of that part of the arrangements in addition to the charge 

above. 

Please note that at certain times of year, for example peak 

season, or for certain products, for example some game 

lodges and cruises, stricter cancellation conditions may 

apply. Any such revised conditions will be notified to you 

prior to booking. 

Partial room cancellation: If a guest cancels or leaves a 

journey and a roommate remains, an additional supplement 

may apply to the price for the remaining guest. 

We strongly recommend that you secure adequate travel 

insurance as per clause 6 below. 

Cancellation by you due to unavoidable and extraordinary 

circumstances: 

You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before 

departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event 

of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring 

at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and 

significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or 

significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the 

destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you 

with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will 

not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please 

note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will 

only apply where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office 

advises against travel to your destination or its immediate 

vicinity. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable 

and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of 

terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the 

outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination, or 

natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather 

conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the 

travel destination. 

(c) Re-booking following a cancellation 

Should you wish to cancel a holiday and re-book an 

alternative, this will be subject to the cancellation terms 

within these booking conditions. If the alternative booking 

requires a greater deposit than has already been paid (after 

deducting cancellation fees) then the balance between what 

is required as a deposit and any sums already paid becomes 

due. 

(d) Accuracy of information 

We check the information which we provide about our 

holidays very carefully. However, tour, excursion, or cruise 

itineraries may change as a result of local conditions. 

Circumstances such as these, or weather conditions, may 

cause some of the amenities we have described to be 

unavailable or different from those advertised. When we are 

told of any significant or long-term changes we will always 

endeavour to advise you prior to your departure. 

(e) Amendments by the Company 

Great care is taken to ensure that the description and prices 

given in our brochures and on our website are accurate 

at the time of publication. However, changes can occur, 

and the Company reserves the right to change any of the 

details in company literature, including prices, in which 

case the Company will advise you of any such change before 

accepting your booking. After a Confirmation Invoice has 

been issued, the Company makes every effort to operate all 

holidays as advertised. We plan arrangements a long time 

in advance of your holiday using independent suppliers 

such as airlines, hotels, local transport operators and 

guides, over whom we have no direct control. In very rare 

circumstances, the Company may have to modify a holiday 

before you depart. Most of these changes are insignificant. 

If we make an insignificant change to your holiday, we will 

make reasonable efforts to inform you or your travel agent 

as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your 

departure but we will have no liability to you. Examples of 

“insignificant changes” include: alteration of your outward/ 

return flights by less than 12 hours; changes to aircraft type; 

change of accommodation to another of the same or higher 

standard; and changes of carriers. 

Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to 

your confirmed arrangements. Examples of “significant 

changes” include the following, when made before departure: 

a change of flight time by more than 12 hours; a change of 

international airport (except between airports serving the 

same city); a change of destination; or a change to a lower 

standard accommodation, and/or price. If we have to make a 

significant change we will tell you as soon as possible and if 

there is time to do so before departure, we will provide you 

with three alternatives. You may accept the modification, 

you may change your booking to another available and 

comparable holiday, or you may cancel and receive a full 

and prompt refund. If you choose another holiday which is 

cheaper, the Company will make the appropriate refund. 

You must notify us of your choice within seven days of 

our offer. If we do not hear from you within seven days, 

we will contact you again to request notification of your 

choice. If you fail to respond again, we will assume that you 

have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking 

arrangements. 

If you cancel and receive a full refund following a significant 

change made for any reason other than force majeure or 


low bookings, you will receive the following compensation, 

calculated according to the number of days prior to 

departure that you are notified of the change. 

Compensation when notification of change is sent 

Days prior to departure 

Compensation per person 

More than 42 days £10 

29-42 days prior £20 



*IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not pay you compensation in 

the following circumstances: 

(a) where we make an insignificant change; 

(b) where we make a significant change or cancel your 

arrangements more than 60 days before departure; 

(c) where we make a significant change and you accept those 

changed arrangements or you accept an offer of alternative 

travel arrangements; 

(d) where we have to cancel your arrangements as a result of 

your failure to make full payment on time; 

(e) where the change or cancellation by us arises out of 

alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you; 

(f) where we are forced to cancel or change your 

arrangements due to force majeure. 

“Low bookings” means that an insufficient number of people 

have booked the arrangements to make their operation 

financially viable in the advertised form. 

If there is an insignificant change before you depart (that 

is, any change not included in the definition of a significant 

change set out above), the Company will try to notify 

you, although it is not obliged to pay any compensation. 

lf the Company becomes unable to provide a significant 

proportion of your holiday after it has commenced, 

every effort will be made to provide suitable alternative 

arrangements, which will be made for you at no extra charge 

to you (save in the case of force majeure) or, alternatively, 

you will be returned to your point of departure and the 

company will, where appropriate, pay compensation. No 

compensation is payable in the case of force majeure. 

(f) Cancellation by the Company 

We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your 

holiday for any reason. However, we will not cancel your 

hotel arrangement less than eight weeks before your 

departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure 

by you to pay the final balance. If you fail to pay the balance 

of the holiday price at least 60 days before departure, the 

Company will treat your booking as cancelled and levy the 

cancellation charges set out in clause 2(b). If the Company 

is obliged to cancel your holiday in any other circumstances 

before departure, the Company will use its best endeavours 

to offer alternative arrangements of equivalent or very closely 

similar standard and price, if available; travel arrangements 

of a lower standard and a refund of the difference in price; 

or give you a full and prompt refund of all monies paid. In 

addition, unless the cancellation has been caused by force 

majeure, a failure by you to pay the balance, or low bookings, 

the Company will pay you compensation as set out in clause 

2(e). 

3. ABERCROMBIE & KENT PRICE POLICY 

(a) We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the 

holidays shown in our brochure or on our website. You will 

be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish 

to book before your contract is confirmed. 

(b) When you make your booking you must pay a deposit, 

see section 1(b) for relevant deposits. The balance of the 

price of your travel arrangements must be paid by the 

date indicated on your confirmation. 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. 

(c) In respect of any booking covered by our ATOL, all 

monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them 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 for so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money 

held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from 

you by them, 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. 

(d) The Company is under no obligation to give a breakdown 

of the costs involved in a holiday. 

(e) The Company reserves the right to notify you of an 

increase in the brochure or advertised price before accepting 

your booking and prices may go up or down. While we 

do our utmost to avoid such a scenario, due to human or 

computer error there may on occasion be an incorrect price 

shown in a brochure or online. When we become aware of 

any such error, we will endeavour to notify you at the time 

of booking (if we are then aware of the mistake) or within 

seven days of the time of booking, or as soon as reasonably 

possible. We do have to reserve all our rights in a situation 

such as this which may include cancelling a holiday if the 

actual price applicable to the holiday is not acceptable to you. 

We will, of course, allow you to amend your holiday with us, 

if you so wish, to an alternative holiday at the correct price. 

(f) We reserve the right to increase the price of confirmed 

holidays solely to allow for increases which are a direct 

consequence of changes in: 

a. the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the 

cost of fuel or other power sources; 

b. the level of taxes or fees chargeable for services applicable 

to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved 

in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, 

landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports 

and airports; and 

c. the exchange rates relevant to the package. 

Such variations could include but are not limited to: airline 

cost changes which are part of our contracts with airlines 

(and their agents), cruise ship operators, and any other 

transport providers. 

(g) We will absorb and you will not be charged for any 

increase equivalent to 2 per cent of the price of your travel 

arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any 

amendment charges and/or additional services or travel 

arrangements. You will be charged for the amount over 

and above that. However, if this means that you have to 

pay an increase of more than 8 per cent of the price of your 

confirmed holiday (excluding any insurance premiums, 

amendment charges and/or additional services or 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 to us, except for any insurance premiums and 

any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel 

arrangements. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, 

you must exercise your right to do so within seven days from 

the issue date printed on your final invoice. We will consider 

an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can 

show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. 

(h) Should the price of your holiday go down due to the 

changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid 

to you less an administrative fee of £10. 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. 

(i) There will be no change made to the price of your 

confirmed holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will 

refunds be paid during this period. 

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPANY 

(a) The Company applies all reasonable checks to ensure 

that those involved in the preparation and provision of your 

holiday maintain the appropriate standards. 

(b) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements 

we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” 

under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements 

Regulations 2018, as set out below, and as such, we are 

responsible for the proper provision of all travel services 

included in your package, as set out in your confirmation 

invoice. The descriptions, information and opinions given 

in our brochures or on the website by the Company in 

respect of the airlines, hotels and other suppliers whose 

services are used are given in good faith, based on the latest 

information available at the time of printing. The Company 

accepts liability for any loss you may suffer if due to fault on 

our part, or that of our agents or suppliers, any part of the 

holiday arrangements you book with the Company before 

your departure is not as described in our brochure, on our 

website, or itinerary or not of a reasonable standard. The 

Company limits its liability in respect of these claims to a 

maximum of three times the holiday cost. Subject to the 

conditions set out below, The Company also accepts liability 

if you or any member of your party suffers death or personal 

injury as a direct result of these holiday arrangements failing 

to be as described and of a reasonable standard. However, 

these acceptances of liability do not apply if there has been 

no fault on the part of the Company or its servants, agents, 

or suppliers, and the loss, death or personal injury suffered 

is attributable to your own acts or omissions or to the acts 

or omissions of a third party not involved in providing the 

services which make up your holiday, or to unavoidable 

and extraordinary circumstances or force majeure. They 

are also conditional upon you following the procedures for 

notification of complaints set out in clause 11, and upon you 

assigning to the Company any right you may have against 

any other person whose acts or omissions have given rise 

to the Company’s liability. Nothing in the above shall limit 

or exclude the Company’s liability for fraud or for death 

or personal injury caused by negligence, or to the extent 

otherwise not permitted by law. 

(c) The Company’s liability to compensate you and the 

amount of such compensation is subject to the following 

limitations. First, in the case of damage other than death, 

illness or personal injury, compensation is restricted to a 

reasonable amount having regard to such factors as, inter 

alia, the holiday cost and the extent to which the enjoyment 

of your holiday can be said to have been affected. Second, if 

any failure in your holiday arrangements relates to, or if you 

or any member in your party is killed, injured or becomes 

ill during or as a result of, carriage by aircraft, ship, train, 

or coach forming part of the holiday arrangements booked 

with us before your departure from the UK, our liability 

to pay compensation and/or the amount of compensation 

we will pay is limited in accordance with the liability of the 

carrier under any international convention which governs 

such services. International Conventions which may 

apply include: in respect of carriage by air, the Montreal 

Convention 1999 or the Warsaw Convention 1929 (including 

as amended by The Hague Protocol of 1955 and by any of 

the Montreal Additional Protocol of 1975); in respect of 

carriage by sea, the Athens Convention 1974; in respect of 

rail carriage, the Berne Convention 1961; and in respect of 

carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973. The terms 

of these conventions are incorporated into and form part of 

your contract with us. In respect of death or personal injury, 

the liability of an air carrier under the Montreal Convention 

and the Warsaw Convention is limited to damage sustained 

caused by an accident which takes place onboard the aircraft 

or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or 

disembarking. You can get copies of the relevant conventions 

if you ask us for them. You should also note that these 

conventions may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to you 

and the amount which the carrier has to pay you. You should 

also know that the carrier will rely upon its “conditions of 

carriage” which may limit or remove the carrier’s liability 

to you and limit compensation under international 

conventions. 

(d) Our suppliers (such as accommodation or transport 

providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions 

of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you 

and the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or 

remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s 

liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from 

our offices, or the offices of the relevant supplier. 

(e) If we make any payment to you or any member of 

your party for death, personal injury, or illness, you must 

co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment 

we make. 

(f) Operational decisions may be taken by air carriers and 

airports resulting in delays, diversions, or rescheduling. 

Abercrombie & Kent has no control over such decisions, 

and is therefore unable to accept responsibility for them. 

Where, as a result of circumstances beyond our control, we 

are obliged to change or end your holiday after departure, 

but before the end of your holiday, we will not pay 

compensation or reimburse you for expenses incurred. We 

strongly recommend you have adequate travel insurance 

for your holiday and should claim via your insurance 

company for any loss or damage to luggage and/or personal 

possessions. In the event that any claim is made directly with 

us, our liability to pay compensation and/or the amount 

of compensation will be limited in accordance with the 

conventions referred to in (c) above. 

(g) If you suffer death, injury or illness during your holiday 

arising out of an activity which does not form part of the 

inclusive arrangements booked with the Company, the 

Company will offer assistance where appropriate and at its 

sole discretion. This assistance must be requested within 

90 days of your misadventure and will be limited to general 

advice and/or assistance with legal fees up to £5,000 per 

party, such contributions to be repaid to the Company out 

of any judgment or insurance payment you subsequently 

obtain. 

(h) Where it is impossible for you to return to your 

departure point as per the agreed return date of your 

package, due to “unavoidable and extraordinary 

circumstances”, we shall provide you with any necessary 

accommodation (where possible, of a comparable standard) 

for a period not exceeding three nights per person. If the 

circumstances continue beyond a three-night period, our 

responsibility under this clause will cease and you will need 

to claim upon your travel insurance where you are able to 

do so. Please note that the three-night cap does not apply 

to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women, or 

unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific 

medical assistance, provided we have been notified of 

these particular needs at least 48 hours before the start of 

your holiday. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable 


and extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of 

terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the 

outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination, or 

natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or weather 

conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to 

your departure point. 

5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES 

(a) Make yourself travel aware. Before making a booking, 

please consult the travel advice produced by the government 

of your home jurisdiction, the government who issued the 

passport and/or visa you intend to travel under, and the 

government of your destination. 

Also ensure you make yourself familiar with the Foreign & 

Commonwealth Office advice on staying safe and healthy on 

your trip: www.gov.uk/travelaware. Advice can change, so 

always check regularly for the latest updates. 

(b) If the Foreign Office advises that people should not visit a 

particular country, we will act on this advice. 

(c) In the event of active government advice and warnings 

against travel to a specific destination or location(s) of a trip, 

should the traveller still choose to travel, notwithstanding 

such travel advisory or warning, the traveller assumes all 

risks of loss, personal injury, death, or property damage 

from any event that may arise out of or associated with the 

travel advice or warnings given. The Company strongly 

recommends you do not travel against Foreign Office Travel 

advice and warnings as they are given for your safety and 

security. 

(d) It is important that you check the details on your 

Confirmation Invoice when you receive it. In the event of 

any discrepancy, you should contact the Company or your 

travel agent. 

(e) General information concerning passport, visa, and 

health requirements applicable to UK Citizens is set out in 

our literature. However, such requirements are subject to 

change and you must check current requirements before 

departure. Passports for British Citizens are valid for 

travel to any EU country up to and including the passport 

expiry date. Many countries outside of the EU require that 

passengers’ passports are valid for at least six months after 

the completion of their journey, and/or contains blank 

pages (for visas). Please visit gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice 

for advice by country. Some destinations also require visas 

and additional documentation and you should contact the 

Embassy or Consulate of the country which you are planning 

to visit in good time before you travel, go to visacentral. 

co.uk to visit Visa Central. You should also contact your 

medical advisor or a specialist vaccination centre for details 

of the measures you will need to take prior to departure. 

All children should travel on full passports. It is your 

responsibility to obtain all documents required for your 

holiday, including passports, visas, heath certificates, and 

international driving licences, to ensure that these are in 

proper order, and to take them with you. We recommend 

that if you are travelling with a child (particularly one 

that does not share your surname or if travelling without 

one or both parents), you check the entry requirements 

for your destination. Certain countries have introduced 

additional requirements, such as documentation that proves 

your relationship to the child as well as documentation 

that proves you have permission to travel with them. The 

Company cannot be held responsible should you or any 

member of your travelling party be denied entry to a country 

due to non-compliance with these requirements. Please 

consult the travel advice produced by the government of 

your home jurisdiction, the government who issued the 

passport and/or visa you intend to travel under, and the 

government of your destination for further details. We will 

not be liable to make any refund or pay compensation if you 

or any member of your party is unable to proceed with the 

holiday as planned because of incorrect or missing personal 

documents, or any other failure to meet passport, visa, or 

immigration requirements. 

(f) Approximately seven days before departure you will 

receive your air tickets together with other information 

concerning your holiday. Please ensure that you check 

the names and flight timings on your tickets carefully and 

contact us immediately if you have any queries. The correct 

timings, using the 24-hour clock system, may have been 

adjusted since you received your Confirmation Invoice. 

(g) You are responsible for checking-in for flights at the 

correct time and for presenting yourself to take up all prebooked 

components of your holiday. The Company cannot 

accept responsibility for clients missing flights as a result of 

late check-ins and no credit or refunds will be given if you 

fail to take up any component of your holiday. No credit or 

refunds will be given for lost, mislaid, or destroyed travel 

documents. 

(h) Most people go on holiday for rest and relaxation, so 

if in our reasonable opinion or that of any airline pilot, 

hotel manager, tour leader, or other person in authority, 

your behaviour is causing danger or damage to property, or 

persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve 

the right to terminate your holiday. Should this happen no 

refund or compensation would be paid. 

(i) If you lose any personal items while on holiday, please 

obtain a written report from the police, to help with any 

insurance claim upon your return. 

(j) You are responsible for the costs of any damage to the 

accommodation and/or any extra charges incurred with our 

suppliers during your holiday. Should you fail to make such 

payment at the time the charges and/or costs are incurred, 

you will be liable to reimburse us for these and you authorise 

the Company to automatically debit your credit card to the 

value instructed by the supplier for any such costs and/or 

charges. 

6. INSURANCE 

We cannot emphasise enough the importance of purchasing 

comprehensive travel insurance prior to date of travel. 

This insurance should be commensurate to the value of 

your booking, and cover cancellation and curtailment, 

all medical expenses including evacuation/repatriation, 

personal baggage, personal liability, death and permanent 

disability, and travel document insurance. If you suffer 

from a disability or medical condition you should disclose 

this to insurers. For those who participate in sports and 

activities while on holiday that have been organised and 

arranged independently of us, it should be understood that 

participation is at the individual’s own risk and it is your 

responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance. Note that 

special insurance may be required if you intend to scuba dive 

or undertake any other dangerous or sports activities. Please 

keep your insurance details with you while on holiday. 

7. AIRLINES & OTHER SUPPLIERS 

(a) As between you and the suppliers of the transport, 

accommodation, and other components making up your 

holiday, the conditions of the supplier will apply. These 

conditions may be subject to international Conventions 

which limit and/or restrict the supplier’s liability. (Copies 

are available on request – please allow 28 days). Under EU 

law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or 

compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, 

cancellation, or delay to flights. Full details of these rights 

will be publicised at EU airports, and will also be available 

from your airline. Reimbursement in these cases is the 

responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle 

you to refund of your holiday cost from the Company. Your 

rights to compensation from the Company are set out in 

clause 2(e). If your airline does not acknowledge your rights, 

you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority at caa. 

co.uk. 

(b) Transport timings are provided by the carrier concerned 

and are subject to such matters as weather conditions, 

maintenance requirements, the ability of passengers to 

check-in on time, and, in the case of flights, to air traffic 

control restrictions. Accordingly the times of flights and 

other forms of transport are estimates only and cannot be 

guaranteed. 

(c) As airlines regularly overbook, we recommend that you 

check in online as soon as you are notified by the airline that 

check-in is available, or 24 hours before departure. If you do 

not check-in online or are unable to, we recommend that 

you arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure as 

airlines have been known to re-allocate seats in the event of 

late arrives. The Company is unable to check you in and it is 

your responsibility to ensure that you are checked in within 

the appropriate time. The Company is not responsible or 

liable if you are downgraded an airline class as a result of the 

airline overbooking the class in which you are booked. Seat 

reservations are at the discretion of the airline and may be 

changed at any time without notice. 

(d) The majority of airlines have introduced a total smoking 

ban on most or all of their flights. Please ask before booking 

if this information is important to you. 

(e) The European Commission publishes a list of airlines that 

are subject to an operating ban within European air space. 

To view the list, go to www.ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/ 

air/safety/air-ban/index_en.htm or search for “banned 

airlines” at europa.eu. 

Some itineraries may include one of the following airlines; 

Air Dyanasty Heli. S. 

Air Kasthamandap 

Buddha Air 

Costal Aviation 

Fishtail Air 

Goma Air 

Himalaya Airlines 

Makalu Air 

Manang Air PVT Ltd 

Mountain Helicopters 

Muktinath Airlines 

Nepal Airlines Corporation 

Saurya Airlines 

Shree Airlines 

Simrick Air 

Simrick Airlines 

Tara Air 

Yeti Airlines Domestic 

(f) Some activities carry inherent risks and if you are 

participating in such activities you may be asked to sign an 

additional form by the local supplier. In rare cases beginners 

may have to take lessons at a charge before being permitted 

to use hotel equipment otherwise offered for free. 

8. EXCURSIONS 

Please note that when you book an excursion locally you 

contract with the local company providing that excursion 

and not the Company. The Company has no legal liability 

for anything that goes wrong on such an excursion and any 

claim which you might have arising out of the excursion 

will be against the relevant local company and subject to 

the local company’s terms and conditions. The Company 

will, at its discretion, offer advice, guidance, and assistance 

if you or any member of your party suffer death, illness, or 

injury arising out of an activity which does not form part of 

your holiday with the Company, or an excursion arranged 

locally. Where legal action is contemplated and you want 

the Company’s assistance, you must obtain the Company’s 

written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. The 

Company’s consent will be given subject to you undertaking 

to assign any costs, or benefits received, and any relevant 

insurance policy to the Company. We limit the cost of the 

Company’s assistance to you or any member of your party 

to £5,000. 

9. DATA PROTECTION 

(a) In order to process your booking and to ensure that 

your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your 

requirements, we need to use the information you provide 

such as your name, address, any special needs/dietary 

requirements etc. 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, and so on. The 

information may also be provided to security or credit 

checking companies, public authorities such as customs 

and immigration if required by them, or as required by law. 

Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European 

Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your 

destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements 

in this country. We will not, however, pass any information 

on to any person not responsible for part 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. If, however, we cannot pass this 

information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or 

not, we cannot accept your booking. In making a booking, 

you consent to this information being passed on to the 

relevant persons. Please note that where information is also 

held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agent’s own 

data protection policy. You are entitled to a copy of your 

information held by us. If you would like to see this, please 

contact the Company during normal working hours. 

(b) The information you are required to provide may 

include debit/credit card details. As set out above, we take 

full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures 

are in place to protect this information. In accordance with 

applicable legal, regulatory, and business requirements, this 

information will be securely deleted as soon as it is no longer 

required. However, it is necessary for the Company to retain 

your debit/credit card details for a reasonable period of time 

after the conclusion of you holiday, and you consent to such 

retention, in the event that any costs referred to in clause 5(j) 

above are incurred and you fail to settle these directly with 

the supplier, in order that the Company can debit your card 

for the relevant amount. This will be reviewed on a regular 

basis to ensure that the information is not kept longer than is 

strictly necessary for the purposes set out above. 

10. ILLNESS AND DISABILITY 

If you or any member of your party suffer from a disability 

or other medical condition, please tell us before you book. 

Abercrombie & Kent is happy to give you advice and 

to try to assist you in choosing a holiday that will meet 

your requirements. However, most of our holidays are in 

destinations which are off the beaten track and lack even 

the simplest facilities for disabled guests such as ramps for 

wheelchairs, lifts, and so on. Many of our holidays require a 

fair degree of physical fitness. Medical facilities may not be 

readily available. In order to assist you we must be provided 

prior to booking with full written details regarding your 

medical condition and any special requirements which result 

from this. An appropriate medical form will be sent to you 

for this purpose. Air travel can cause problems for some 

people with circulatory or bronchial problems, such as deep 

vein thrombosis. It is inadvisable for anyone with high blood 

pressure or respiratory problems to visit high altitudes. You 

should consult your doctor for advice before you book and 

in good time before your departure. 

11. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM 

(a) If you are unhappy with any aspect of the Company’s 

arrangements while you are on holiday, you must address 

your complaint immediately to the Company’s local 

representative (or, if none, to the Company by contacting 


the Duty Manager on +44 20 7998 4141) and to the 

management of the hotel or other supplier whose services 

are involved. They will do their best to rectify the situation. It 

is unreasonable to take no action while on holiday, but then 

to write a letter of complaint upon return. If the problem 

cannot be resolved locally and you wish to complain, full 

details must be sent to the Company in writing to arrive 

within 30 days of your return. We will do our best to 

investigate and reply to you within 28 days of receipt of 

your letter. Failure to take either of these steps will deny 

the Company the opportunity to resolve the problem 

immediately and/or investigate it properly. In consequence, 

this may affect your rights under this contract. 

(b) In the rare event of a dispute which cannot be amicably 

settled, you may (if you wish) use ABTA’s approved 

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme, available 

through abta.com which, though devised by arrangement 

with the Association of British Travel Agents, is administered 

quite independently by the Centre for Effective Dispute 

Resolution (CEDR). The scheme (details of which will be 

supplied on request) provides for a simple and inexpensive 

method of arbitration on documents alone, with restricted 

liability on holidaymakers in respect of costs. The scheme 

does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 

per person or £25,000 per party, neither does it apply to 

claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical 

injury, illness, nervous shock, death, or their consequences. 

The scheme can, however, deal with compensation claims 

which include an element of minor injury or illness subject 

to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can 

award per person in respect of this element. Application 

for arbitration under this scheme must be made within 18 

months of the date of return from the holiday, otherwise it 

will only be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does 

not require such agreement from us. For injury and illness 

claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and 

we have the option to agree to mediation. 

12. PROMPT ASSISTANCE 

If, while you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty 

for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance as 

is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will 

provide you with appropriate information on health services, 

local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance 

with distance communications and finding alternative 

travel arrangements. Where you require assistance which 

is not owing to any failure by us, our employees, or 

sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any 

alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you 

require. Any supplier, airline or other transport supplier 

may however pay for or provide refreshments and/or 

appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim 

directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these Booking 

Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges 

you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain 

our prior authorisation before making your own travel 

arrangements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge 

you a fee for our assistance in the event that the difficulty is 

caused intentionally by you or a member of your party, or 

otherwise through your or your party’s negligence. 

13. GOVERNING LAW 

This contract and any matters arising from it are governed 

by the laws of England and Wales and are subject to the 

jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales. 

14. DESCRIPTIONS 

Every effort is made to ensure that the details, description, 

and prices contained in company literature are correct, based 

on inspections and information passed to the Company 

by its suppliers. However changes do occur, sometimes at 

short notice, and therefore the Company will advise you at 

the time of booking, or if after booking as soon as possible 

of any such changes to our published information. It is not 

always possible for the Company to control all elements 

of the holiday whereby advertised facilities can sometimes 

become unavailable at short notice due to inclement weather 

conditions, lack of demand, emergency repair works etc. 

15 FINANCIAL PROTECTION 

We provide financial security for flight-inclusive packages 

and ATOL protected flights by way of our Air Travel 

Organiser’s Licence number 2881, issued by the Civil 

Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, 

RH6 0YR, UK, telephone 0333 103 6350, email: claims@ 

caa.co.uk. 

When you buy an ATOL protected product from us you will 

receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially 

protected, where you can get information on what this 

means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. For 

further information, visit the ATOL website at atol.org.uk. 

The price of our flight inclusive arrangements includes the 

amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection 

Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is 

included in our advertised prices. Not all holiday or travel 

services offered and sold by us will be protected by the ATOL 

Scheme. ATOL protection extends primarily to customers 

who book and pay in the United Kingdom and European 

Economic Area (EEA). 

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 (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. 

When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a 

flight, protection is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA 

Ltd, The Travel Association, 30 Park Street, London SE1 

9EQ, abta.com. 

Abercrombie & Kent is a member of ABTA (number 

V6398/72314) and holds an ATOL Licence (number 2881) 

issued by the Civil Aviation Authority. We are obliged to 

maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code 

of Conduct. For further information about ABTA, The Code 

of Conduct and the arbitration scheme available to you, or if 

you have a complaint, contact ABTA, 30 Park Street, London 

SE1 9EQ. Tel: 0203 117 0500 or abta.com. 

16. FORCE MAJEURE 

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking 

Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation 

if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “force 

majeure”. For the purposes of these Booking Conditions, 

force majeure means any event beyond our or our suppliers’ 

control, the consequences of which could not have been 

avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. 

Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat 

thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such 

as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination, 

or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or weather 

conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the 

travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the 

act of any government or other national or local authority 

including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, 

labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, 

fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical 

problems with transport, and all similar events outside our 

or the supplier(s) concerned’s control. 

Brexit Implications: please note that certain travel 

arrangements may be affected as a result of the United 

Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This 

could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, 

access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa 

requirements of British citizens travelling to, within, or 

through the EU. Please rest assured that this is something 

we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers 

as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed 

bookings that will be affected. However, since this is 

something which is completely unprecedented and outside 

our control, we would treat any such changes as force 

majeure, and while we will endeavour to provide suitable 

alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will 

not be liable to pay you any compensation. 

PRICING POLICY
