Dear Ambassadair Guests, 

My view of life changed this past fall when the oldest of our four 

children left for college! Many of you probably share these same 

bittersweet feelings when a child moves out of your home after 18 

years. I miss his presence every day, yet I’m excited to see him in this 

next chapter of his life. Some of best time were from vacationing 

together, creating lifelong memories. When I planned family trips, 

I crafted them the same way we do for Ambassadair, filled with 

exceptional places and unforgettable activities. It was not simply a 

trip to Los Angeles, but it was to the see Rose Bowl Game! In fact, I am 

hoping to take him to London in June with Ambassadair to see the 

Cubs vs. the Cardinals game – the first time ever for either team to play 

overseas! What an experience to add to our growing list of memories! 

Travel is so important in each of our lives, for many reasons. It opens 

our eyes to the world outside our everyday routines. As we travel, 

we meet new people, make new friends, and learn so much from 

different cultures. Traveling with a group of fellow Hoosiers is especially 

gratifying because we share many of the same values, perceptions and 

even interests. 

At Ambassadair, we can help you create lifelong memories with 

unforgettable trips. Our special contacts take you beyond the 

guidebook and behind the scenes. Let us manage all the details and 

stress, so you can just enjoy the trip. We have more than 60 years 

creating the perfect experience – from riding a gondola in Zermatt, 

Switzerland to watching the 4 th of July fireworks on a dinner cruise in 

the presence of Lady Liberty! Experiences such as these remain in one’s 

memory for a lifetime. 

So start turning the pages of this Trips magazine and find the 

perfect trip for you. Our Travel Counselors are ready to answer any 

questions and make your reservation. Just call (800) 225-9919 or send 

an email to info@ambassadair.com. We will take care of the rest and 

you can sit back, relax and get ready to make memories. 

Happy Traveling,

inadmissibility/index.asp. This is only a guide. A Canadian 

immigration officer will decide if you can enter Canada when 

you arrive at a port of entry. 

CHILDREN TRAVELING Children 17 and under must be 

accompanied by an adult. Federal Air Regulations require that 

any child over the age of 24 months must occupy a separate 

seat. A birth certificate is required to validate age of all infants 

under age two. Reduced prices for children on ground 

packages are based on children sharing a room with two adults. 

Passports are required for all international travel regardless of 

age. For Aruba and all Mexican destinations, any child 17 years 

or younger not traveling with both parents is required to carry 

a Parental Consent Form or permission letter signed by both 

parents and notarized at time of check-in. 

BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE & LIABILITY Baggage allowance and 

fees vary and are not covered in the cost of the trip. For specific 

allowances and fees, see airline and refer to Grueninger’s 

documents, issued approximately 10-14 days before the trip. 

Questions regarding baggage restrictions on commercial 

carriers should be directed to that particular airline. 

AIR CARRIERS All trips are via commercial air carriers unless 

otherwise noted. Grueninger acts as a sales agent for air carriers 

and reserves the right to designate any air carrier, including 

commuters and charter services, connecting routing and 

schedule from Indianapolis. Tickets issued are highly restrictive 

and may not be reissued, revalidated, or exchanged for another 

carrier or routing. 

AIR SCHEDULE Flight schedules are confirmed by Grueninger 

as early as 60 days prior to departure date. A tentative flight 

schedule may be given. You will receive your air schedule 

with your final documents approximately 10-14 days prior 

to departure. However, these schedules and air carriers are 

subject to change without notice prior to departure. 

SEAT AND ROOM ASSIGNMENTS Seating and room requests 

made at the time of booking will be considered; however, 

these are requests, not guarantees. Although your seating 

preferences are forwarded to the airline, the airline cannot 

always honor these requests and pricing does not include 

assigned seats. 

TRAVEL DIRECTORS All departures designated “Escorted” with 

20 Participants or more will have an Grueninger Travel Director 

throughout the trip. 

ACTIVITY LEVEL The amount of walking varies according to the 

tour. In general, European destinations require more walking 

over uneven surfaces. Please call a Grueninger Travel Counselor 

who can answer questions regarding the activity level per trip. 

TRAVELERS NEEDING SPECIAL ASSISTANCE Participants with 

disabilities are welcome and must always be accompanied 

by a companion capable of providing all required and 

needed assistance and must not require special assistance 

from Grueninger or its suppliers. The Participant must notify 

Grueninger regarding any disabilities, in writing, during the trip 

reservation process and of the identity of the non-discounted, 

paid travel companion who will be responsible for providing all 

necessary assistance. The Participant should notify Grueninger 

if ADA accessible accommodations are needed at the time 

of reservation. Grueninger will make all reasonable efforts to 

accommodate this request, but cannot be responsible if ADA 

accommodations are not available. Any accommodations 

provided will be at the sole expense of the participant requiring 

the accommodation. 

Neither Grueninger nor its partners, nor its suppliers, may 

physically lift or assist clients into transportation vehicles. Any 

participant that uses oxygen must work with the airline directly 

to obtain approval. 

For safety and liability reasons, Grueninger and its 

representatives cannot be responsible for directly 

accommodating any food allergies, or dietary requirements and 

restrictions, and is not responsible for any issues or problems 

associated with the same. All scenarios and special dietary 

requests regarding food and drink, including allergies, or 

dietary requirements and restrictions, are the sole responsibility 

of the participant. While most meal establishments can offer 

general options, Grueninger cannot guarantee that options will 

be available. Just in case, we recommend packing extra food/ 

snacks if accommodations cannot be met. 

PHOTOGRAPHY ON TOUR Grueninger may, at times, 

use photographs taken by your Travel Director or fellow 

Participants for promotional purposes. If you prefer that your 

likeness not be used, please tell your Travel Director or a 

Grueninger representative. 

SUPPLIERS’ LIABILITIES Grueninger makes arrangements with 

air carriers, hotels, car rental companies, and other independent 

parties to provide you with travel services you purchase. 

These services are subject to the conditions imposed by these 

suppliers, and their liability may be limited by their tariffs, 

conditions of carriage, and international agreements. 

RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSE Neither Grueninger, its affiliated

liable for any loss, injury, or damage to any tour participant or 

their belongings, or otherwise, in connection with any service 

supplied or not supplied resulting directly or indirectly from 

any occurrence beyond the control of Grueninger. Grueninger

or unauthorized acts or omissions on the part of any of the 

suppliers or other employees or agents, (2) any defect in 

or failure of any vehicle, equipment, or instrument owned, 

operated or otherwise used by any of these suppliers, or (3) any 

wrongful, willful or negligent act or omission on the part of any 

other party. Without limiting the foregoing, Grueninger accepts 

no responsibility for any risk or resulting injury, criminal activity, 

weather or other acts of God, accidents, disease, epidemics or

or civil unrest, overbooking, structural or other defective 

conditions in hotels or other lodging facilities, acts of terrorism 

or the threat thereof, insurrection or revolt, or any other event 

beyond its direct control. 

No refunds will be made for features in the trip not utilized. 

The cost of replacing lost or stolen tickets is the responsibility 

of the passenger. If a flight or transfer by motorcoach or train 

is missed, whether by weather or other conditions beyond 

Grueninger’s control, participant is responsible to make his 

or her own arrangements and to pay all charges associated 

therewith. Participant’s retention of tickets, reservations, 

or bookings after issuance shall constitute consent to the 

above. Grueninger issues airline tickets, hotel confirmations, 

and other travel documents for such services as an agent for 

the companies that provided these services directly. Airline 

tickets and hotel accommodations are subject to all terms and 

conditions of the respective suppliers (airlines, hotel chains, 

etc.) regarding travel. These suppliers may limit or exclude the 

accrual of frequent flyer or reward program points.

Control publish and update important country-specific 

information for travelers. We strongly recommend that 

you review them. They can presently be found at: https://

accept any participant as a member of these trips. Grueninger 

reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate any 

participant who does not abide by its rules and regulations, 

and/or whose conduct is deemed to be such as to endanger 

the participant, the success of the program, or the welfare 

of other participants, staff members and/or third parties. 

In the event of such termination, the participant will be 

sent home at the expense of the participant and his or her 

parent or guardian. The manner and means of transporting 

the participant home shall be determined exclusively by 

Grueninger. In the event of such termination, there will be 

no refund whatsoever. The participant is personally liable to 

Grueninger for any damages caused by improper conduct. 

Grueninger may cancel any trip because of insufficient 

enrollment or for any other reason. The terms set forth in 

this agreement constitute the entire agreement between 

participant and Grueninger. Any amendment to this agreement 

must be made in writing and signed by both parties.

pool or body of water. Participants also acknowledge and 

understand that use of the swimming pool or body of water 

by the participants is potentially dangerous and that the 

type of injury or damage described above can occur when

other facility used during the tour, including: buses; vehicles, 

the various attraction facilities and/or performance facilities. 

Participant understands that full responsibility for damage, if 

such is incurred, rests entirely with the Participant to settle any 

claims, resulting from said damage, directly with the claimant.
