Why the<br />
USA?<br />
The USA continues to be one of the most exciting holiday<br />
destinations for Irish visitors with so much to offer whether you<br />
are travelling independently, with a group of friends, as a couple<br />
or with your family. It’s a vast and diverse destination where we<br />
can tailor your holiday to whatever your soul seeks. Explore its<br />
great outdoors, witness unbelievable landscapes in its National<br />
Parks, enjoy its’ vibrant cities. Some cities have very iconic<br />
skylines that we all recognise and while we love the draw of the<br />
big and the beautiful, there are also some very charming off the<br />
beaten path destinations waiting to be discovered!<br />
For generations, the Irish have a love affair with the USA and it’s<br />
apparent to see some of the <strong><strong>America</strong>n</strong> influences that we have<br />
adopted over time. Whether you are seasoned or a first time<br />
visitor there is no doubt that the USA can open your eyes to a<br />
place where holiday experiences enchant, inspire, surprise and<br />
delight you. This is a land of dreams, a destination filled with one<br />
of a kind of adventures to explore. A destination full of<br />
possibilities.<br />
Ways to explore<br />
City Breaks. Sophisticated cities beckon in the USA. Discover world-class<br />
museums and performing art venues as well as vibrant streets pulsing with<br />
global flavours and friendly people. Why not combine multiple city stays in<br />
Puerto Rico<br />
one trip.<br />
Escorted Journeys. Ideal way of discovering regions with likeminded people<br />
while having your own personal guide highlight all the interesting details.<br />
You really don’t have to worry about anything, just sit back, relax, immerse<br />
yourself in the trip, enjoy the scenery and enjoy the ride!<br />
Please see our dedicated Escorted Journeys and Cruising <strong>Holidays</strong><br />
<strong>Brochure</strong> <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
Cruise and Stay. Cruising is an amazing way to discover some of the most<br />
stunning destinations on the planet and there is so much to choose from<br />
when it comes to <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong> from the Torqoise blue waters of the<br />
Caribbean to the Rugged beauty of Alaska.<br />
Road Trips. Driving in the USA is easy and affordable. Having your own<br />
transport allows you the freedom and easy access in which to get to your<br />
destination and explore some off the beaten path places as well. A road<br />
trip is a great way of exploring the various regions of the USA. One famous<br />
drive and known as the Mother Road is the Historic Route 66 that spans<br />
over 2000 miles and 8 States from Illinois to California.<br />
National Parks. By RV (Recreational Vehicle). With over 15,000 fabulous<br />
camping resorts to choose from, there are so many benefits to hiring a<br />
motor home to enjoy the flexibility and easy access to all the main tourist<br />
areas along with discovering some off the beaten path regions as well.<br />

have any queries and they can also give you valuable tips on where<br />
to go and what to do in the local area.<br />
Points to consider when booking your home<br />
• Car hire is essential to ensure easy accessibility to and from<br />
Orlando’s theme parks and attractions<br />
• As homes are situated in residential areas, it is unlikely that there<br />
are amenities such as Bars and Restaurants within walking distance<br />
• Although distances to Orlando’s theme parks, whilst cannot be<br />
guaranteed, the drive is usually no more than 30 minutes<br />
• Key pick up- it is normal to pick up the keys of your home from the<br />
appropriate management company (driving directions are provided<br />
in your travel documents) Registration forms and driving directions<br />
to your appointed home. Please remember that if it’s your first time<br />
to rent a private home, it may be dark by the time you get on the<br />
road.<br />
• Accessible wheelchair homes are very limited and are always<br />
subject to availability<br />
• Pool heating, needs to be requested in advance of arrival and costs<br />
can vary between solar and electric heat charges.<br />
• Registration: As part of Florida State law, all guests are required to<br />
register. You can complete registration prior to arrival, at the<br />
welcome centre or on arrival at the Villa on any smart device. All<br />
Villa bookings are required to pay a non-refundable property<br />
Protection fee of $6 per day by credit/debit card (capped at $126)<br />
per rental. This insures against accidental damage of items up to<br />
$1000 value. In addition to this, for items in excess of $1000 you will<br />
need to provide a credit card guarantee which is fully refundable<br />
upon departure.<br />
Exact Named Homes<br />
Should you have any specific requirements in relation to homes, we<br />
would suggest that you ask about our Exact named homes so that<br />
the home you book in advance will be the exact one provided to you<br />
on arrival at your chosen division. These homes are charged at an<br />
additional supplement and amenities may vary from house to house.<br />

New York<br />
Five neighbourhoods make up one great destination with<br />
incredible diversity, vibrancy and excitement that are all key<br />
ingredients which make up New York City.<br />
There is downtown history in the financial district along<br />
with the waterfront area; Midtown action in Manhattan;<br />
cuisines from every corner of the world to be found in<br />
Queens; A free ferry ride and get a round of golf on Staten<br />
Island; Yankees baseball, the New York Botanical Garden &<br />

host some incredible concerts with new developments being added<br />
throughout the year as well as featuring trendy shops, new boutique<br />

the area.<br />
Hudson Yards has become the newest New York neighbourhood on<br />

New York City Highlights<br />
Depending on where you stay and what time of year you visit, there<br />
is always a different feel to this wonderful vibrant city that has such a<br />
long history with Irish visitors. For first timers, the preferred location<br />
is midtown with all the famous landmark attractions of the city along<br />
with the renowned shops being in walking distance. For repeat<br />
visitors and those that want a more local experience, there are lots of<br />
options that you can explore. From the Highline to hopping on the<br />
free Staten Island Ferry, and from theatre deals to free TV show<br />
tapings, visitors have the chance to experience an exceptional New<br />
York City holiday with an unparalleled variety of free, low-cost and<br />
affordable activities.<br />
• The Highline: This is a really cool urban park which is constructed<br />
on top of an old disused railway line and cuts through the Western<br />
side of Manhattan. It’s a hipster kind of place. Start at the <strong>North</strong> end<br />
and walk it the whole way down to the West Village.<br />
• The Chelsea Market, well worth a visit especially on an empty<br />
stomach. Sample a huge variety of cuisines and beers from the<br />
various food stalls.<br />
• NYC Restaurant week usually runs twice a year for at least ten days<br />
from mid to end Jan to the beginning of Feb and again in midsummer,<br />
you can avail of incredible value in some of New York City’s<br />
top dining restaurants at a fraction of the normal price.<br />
• Governors Island - offering something for everyone and easily<br />
accessible from Manhattan. In the summertime the Island hosts free<br />
dance and music festivities, live performance and dynamic public art<br />
displays and provides a great day’s visit for all the family.<br />
• Rooftop Bars with a view: there are some really fantastic rooftop<br />
bars that extend amazing views of the city while you relax with<br />
friends and a cocktail. Some of our recommendations would be “The<br />
Press Lounge” at Ink48 Hotel. Also try “The Rainbow Room & Bar 65<br />
at the Rockefeller Centre” which is a restaurant and a bar offering<br />
incredible views of both downtown and Central Park.<br />
• Music – if you love Music then there is no better place than NYC<br />
which is home to many concert venues from the Beacon theatre to<br />
the Barclay Centre, Radio City Music Hall to Madison Square<br />
Gardens.<br />
• Cycle the Brooklyn Bridge: a great way to see the surrounding<br />
views of the City, take your time, stop and take a selfie!<br />

Beaches<br />
Days 1-3: San Francisco From Union Square to <strong>North</strong> Beach to<br />
Japantown, you’ll find intriguing neighbourhoods at every turn. The<br />
writers of the Beat Generation, the hippies of the Summer of Love in<br />
the late 1960s and the gay and lesbian population contributed in<br />
making the city what it is today. San Francisco is also one of the<br />
world’s great dining destinations, thanks in part to the diverse<br />
cultural influences and proximity of fresh ingredients.<br />
It’s a city of contrasts – old and new, cutting-edge and laid-back,<br />
urban and pastoral. This is a city in constant evolution. Add iconic<br />
sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz<br />
Island and intriguing neighbourhoods as individualistic as they are<br />
dynamic, and San Francisco becomes captivating, creative and truly<br />
unique. On day 3 pick up your rental car from the downtown area to<br />
commence your journey to Sonoma.<br />
San Francisco Hotel (3 nights): Handlery Hotel Union Square<br />
including <strong><strong>America</strong>n</strong> Breakfast<br />
Days 4-5: Sonoma & Napa Valley Less than an hours’ drive from San<br />
Francisco, Sonoma County bills itself as the "Number 1 Wine<br />
Destination in the U.S." for good reason. Though not as famous as<br />
the neighbouring Napa Valley, Sonoma County features a rolling<br />
landscape dotted with over 250 wineries. The county ranks among<br />
the country's most agriculturally productive regions. It turns out not<br />
only some of <strong>America</strong>'s finest grapes, but also hops, prunes, and<br />
apples. The county manages to cling to its leisurely way of life--<br />
which is how the local nickname "Slow-noma" got started (despite<br />
the fact that the valley attracts nearly 8 million tourists annually)--<br />
and is really more about simple enjoyment than a jam-packed<br />
sightseeing itinerary. Napa may be better known, but as the crowds<br />
of visitors continue to clog the roads there, Sonoma's appeal as a<br />
vacation destination only grows.<br />

a very different flavour. The area's breath taking scenery, abundance<br />
of quaint B&Bs, and exquisite local gastronomy, makes Napa Valley<br />
one of the country's most popular spots for peaceful weekends and<br />
romantic getaways. While wine tasting and vineyard tours are the<br />
traditional things to do, the region offers a variety of other<br />
attractions, including hot air balloon rides, spa treatments, and trips<br />
aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train.<br />

and serves as a hub for tourism activities surrounding the<br />
lake. Change things up with these side-trips from South Lake Tahoe:<br />

Site, or Bodie, California’s official “ghost town,” where the Old West<br />
still lives. The Mammoth Lakes Basin is full of places to find a quiet<br />
hike, catch a trophy trout or take a gentle bike ride with your family<br />
on the paved paths. Find your own natural hot springs to relax in, or<br />
live it up at one of the festivals or events that make Mammoth Lakes<br />
famous. After a day of adventure, take in the majestic mountains<br />
vistas over a great meal at one of Mammoth Lakes’ more than 70<br />
restaurants or a nationally famous craft brewery.<br />

The Islands<br />
Oahu is the third largest island and home to the majority of Hawaii’s<br />
population. It’s the heart of Hawaii with a fusion of East and West<br />
cultures rooted in the values and traditions of its native Hawaiian<br />
people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the<br />
modern that makes discovering Oahu — from bustling city life to<br />
laidback surf towns — so enjoyable.<br />
Maui also known as “The Valley Isle” is the second largest Island. It is<br />
beloved for its world-famous beaches, the sacred Iao Valley, views of<br />
migrating humpback whales and so much more. Views of migrating<br />
humpback whales (during winter months), farm-to-table cuisine and<br />
the magnificent sunrise and sunset from Haleakala.<br />
Kauai also known as “The Garden Island”, the oldest and<br />
northernmost in the chain of Island. Draped in Emerald Valleys, sharp<br />
mountain spires and jagged cliffs aged by time and the elements.<br />
This Island is one of dramatic beauty and is home to a variety of<br />
outdoor activities. You can kayak the Wailua River, snorkel on Poipu<br />
Beach or hike the trails of Kokee State Park.<br />
Hawaii is the largest and youngest in the Hawaiian chain. Nearly<br />
twice as big as all of the other Islands combined, hence its nickname<br />
“The Big Island”, its sheer size is awe-inspiring. Black-sand beaches,<br />
volcanic wonders and championship-caliber golf courses make the<br />
Island of Hawaii a dynamic and unforgettable destination<br />
Lanai is the smallest inhabited island in Hawaii, Lanai offers big<br />
enticements to its visitors. Only nine miles from Maui yet a world<br />
away, Lanai can feel like two places. With just 2,000 residents, Lanai<br />
is Hawaii's smallest inhabited island, and a wonderland of off-thebeaten-path<br />
discoveries.<br />

Discover<br />
Hawaii & More<br />
The West Coast of USA is the nearest mainland to Hawaii so it is a great opportunity to<br />
stop over and experience some beautiful destinations like Seattle in the Pacific <strong>North</strong>west<br />
and Los Angeles in California en route to and from Hawaii.<br />
The Pacific <strong>North</strong>west, Hawaii and California<br />
Aer Lingus operate a direct service into Seattle and return home<br />
via Los Angeles therefore allowing easier access to the Hawaiian<br />
Islands. Your first stop is Seattle. No trip to the city would be<br />
complete without visiting the famous Space Needle but there is<br />
plenty more must-sees in this city. Seattle is the hometown of the<br />
original Starbucks so pay a visit to Starbucks Reserve Roastery &<br />
Tasting Room. Chihuly Glass Exhibition and Gardens is also a must<br />
see as is Discovery Park and The Museum of Pop Culture. For foodie<br />
lovers, Pike Place market is a real hot spot for tourists and locals<br />
alike.<br />
Oahu would be one of the best known of the islands. Waikiki Beach<br />
is probably the most famous beach in Hawaii and its well worth a<br />
visit! If you enjoy lying on the beach or prefer surfing SUPing or<br />
canoeing there’s something for everyone. Diamond Head is another<br />
landmark you don’t want to miss, hike to the top to get a<br />
magnificent view of the surrounding area. Oahu is also home to<br />
Pearl Harbour one of the Islands most historic landmarks.<br />
The tropical paradise of the island of Maui is a real gem for nature<br />
lovers with its stunning landscapes. We would recommend a trip to<br />
one of the National Parks on the island. Haleakala National Park<br />
which is home to miles of trails through volcanic landscapes. Iao<br />
Valley State Park meanwhile is dedicated to the rich marine life<br />
found in the waters of the Hawaiian Islands. Whale watching is<br />
another popular onshore excursion and Maui is one of the best<br />
places to do it!There is something to suit all tastes in Maui, hiking<br />
through tropical forests, relaxing on the beach or enjoying some of<br />
the excellent water sports available on the Island. It is a true island<br />
paradise not to be missed!<br />
Last call is Los Angeles! A city known for its year-round sunshine and<br />
beautiful beaches. There is something here for all ages. The thrilling<br />
rides and attractions at Disneyland and Universal Studios are sure to<br />
be enjoyed by both the young and the young at heart. Stroll along<br />
Hollywood Boulevard and see the stars on the Walk of Fame. Visitors<br />
will enjoy downtown LA, full of great shops, bars and restaurants.<br />
Alternatively, head to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for some high-end<br />
shopping. The Getty Observatory has some excellent exhibitions,<br />
paintings and sculptures and the manicured gardens are well worth a<br />

sprawling city.<br />

Booking Terms & Conditions<br />
1. Our details<br />
Your booking is with Specialist <strong>Holidays</strong> Group Ireland Ltd t/a <strong><strong>America</strong>n</strong> <strong>Holidays</strong><br />
with registered number at 045287(here in- after called “the Company, ”we”, “us” or<br />
“our”), having its registered office at 1 Spencer Dock, <strong>North</strong> Wall Quay, Dublin 1, a<br />
member of the Travelopia Group companies, of Origin One, 108 High Street,<br />
Crawley, West Sussex RH10 1BD and are solely subject to the following conditions.<br />
2 Protecting your money<br />
We are licensed as a Travel Agent with the Commission for Aviation Regulation,<br />
licence number 0136.<br />
3. Your holiday booking<br />
a. A booking will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice (the “Booking<br />
Confirmation”). This booking is made on the terms of these booking conditions. The<br />
person making the booking (the “lead name”) must be 18 years old or over and<br />
when you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and<br />
do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. We may<br />
transfer your booking to another company in our group, but this will have no effect<br />
on your holiday arrangements<br />
b. Whether you book alone or as a group, we will only deal with the lead name in all<br />
subsequent correspondence, including changes, amendments and cancellations.<br />
The lead name is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the personal details or<br />
any other information supplied in respect of yourself and any other person<br />
travelling on the booking and for passing on any information regarding the booking<br />
or any changes made in relation thereto, to all persons travelling on such booking,<br />
including but not limited to information on schedule changes or copies of booking<br />
confirmations.<br />
c. When you receive the Booking Confirmation and your departure documents<br />
please check the details carefully and inform us immediately if anything is incorrect.<br />
Names on travel documents must exactly match those in your passports. Unless we<br />
are responsible for the mistake, we will not accept liability if an airline or other<br />
supplier refuses boarding because the name(s) shown in your passport differ from<br />
those on your ticket. If there is an obvious error on the Confirmation Invoice, we<br />
reserve the right to correct it as soon as we become aware of it, but will do this<br />
within 7 days of issuing the Confirmation Invoice or, if your departure is within 7<br />
days, no later than 24 hours before you go. Travel documents will be sent or<br />
emailed to you (to the address given to us by the lead name at the time of booking)<br />
approximately 2 weeks before your departure, and will not be issued unless<br />
payment of the due balance has been received.<br />
d. We may not be able to confirm some of our ground arrangements straight away<br />
(e.g. bespoke accommodation, tours etc.). In these instances we may issue a<br />
Booking Confirmation. However, a contract for arrangements that have not been<br />
confirmed on that Booking Confirmation will only be made when we have sent you<br />
written confirmation that those additional arrangements have been completed. If<br />
there is any change to any of the details discussed at the time of booking, before<br />
the Booking Confirmation is issued, we will notify you promptly of any new or<br />
changed details, including a change to the total price (if any). If any detail on the<br />
Booking Confirmation is not correct tell us or your travel agent immediately.<br />
e. For those holidays where an additional local payment is required this will be<br />
confirmed to you. A local payment is a portion of the holiday cost which must be<br />
paid directly to the local representative as instructed. If the price of your holiday<br />
includes a local payment this must be paid in the currency specified. Please note<br />
that your holiday price will not be considered to have been paid in full until the local<br />
payment has been made. Tourist taxes, resort fees or similar that are charged locally<br />
may be implemented or changed without prior warning. We do not accept<br />
responsibility for these costs, which must be paid by you and are not included<br />
within your holiday price.<br />
f. Your personal safety is of paramount importance to us and therefore it is<br />
imperative that you advise us at the time of booking of any condition, medical or<br />
otherwise, that might affect your or other people’s enjoyment of the trip. This<br />
should include, but not be limited to, any special dietary requirements (including,<br />
for example, allergies) and any reduced mobility affecting you or members of your<br />
booking. Please contact us operations@americanholidays.com to discuss any such<br />
requirements.<br />
g. It is a condition of your booking that you and all members of your party provide<br />
certain information that may be sent to governmental authorities and border<br />
control and security agencies for the purpose of security and counter terrorism.<br />
This is known as Passenger Name Records (PNR) or Advanced Passenger<br />
Information, sometimes known as APIS. The information you must provide will<br />
include, but not be limited to, full name – as shown in your passport or travel<br />
document, gender, date of birth, travel document type, number, country of issue<br />
and expiry date, and for travel to the U.S., your country of residence and the<br />
address for your first night’s stay. You must provide this information to the airline<br />
between 6 months and 24 hours before departure.<br />
h. All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the<br />
right to change any of those prices from time to time. In the unlikely event of an<br />
administrative error leading to an incorrect price being displayed, we reserve the<br />
right to correct it (including after a booking has been confirmed). Offers are not<br />
combinable unless expressly stated and may be withdrawn at any time. All<br />
quotations are provisional until confirmed in writing on your Booking Confirmation.<br />
Before you make a booking we will give you the up-to-date price of your chosen<br />
holiday including the cost of any supplements, upgrades or additional facilities<br />
which you have requested.<br />
i. When the price per person is dependent on the number of people in the<br />
accommodation and the number of people changes, the price will be recalculated<br />
based on the new party size. Any increase in price payable is not a cancellation<br />
charge. A separate cancellation charge will be levied in respect of bookings<br />
cancelled. A new Booking Confirmation will be issued as appropriate on which the<br />
cancellation charge will be shown.<br />
4, Paying for Your Holiday and Insurance<br />
a. When you make your booking you must pay a deposit of €190 per person. The<br />
balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid no later than 69 days<br />
before departure for bookings made via an agent, or no later than 97 (14 weeks)<br />
before departure for bookings made directly with us. To pay your final balance,<br />
amend your booking or discuss any other aspect of your holiday booked directly<br />
with us, call our Customer Services team. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in<br />
time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we<br />
shall retain your deposit<br />
b. You may also be required to pay for any non-transferable and non-refundable<br />
items, such as special air fares, tickets or cruise holidays and any other applicable<br />
supplements due, at the time of booking and they may be non-refundable in the<br />
event of cancellation.<br />
c. We don’t accept <strong><strong>America</strong>n</strong> Express (Amex), Cash, Cheques or bankers draft as a<br />
form of payment.<br />
d. Adequate and valid travel insurance for your chosen itinerary is compulsory for all<br />
travellers and it is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree you will<br />
have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out<br />
insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed. You are strongly advised to insure<br />
yourself against any possible risk that may occur and in particular to ensure that<br />
you have sufficient insurance in respect of dependent relatives and force majeure<br />
events. You are required to carry proof of insurance with you.<br />
5. If You Cancel Your Holiday<br />
You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time.<br />
Written notification from the lead name or your travel agent must be received at<br />
our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will<br />
have to pay cancellation charges as follows (see also the exception below):<br />
Period before departure in<br />
which you notify us (bookings<br />
made via agent)<br />
More than 69 days<br />
56-69 days (inclusive)<br />
36-55 days (inclusive)<br />
22-35 days (inclusive)<br />
11-21 days (inclusive)<br />
0-10 days (inclusive)<br />
Period before departure<br />
in which you notify us<br />
(direct bookings)<br />
More than 97 days<br />
56-97 days (inclusive)<br />
36-55 days (inclusive)<br />
22-35 days (inclusive)<br />
11-21 days (inclusive)<br />
0-10 days (inclusive)<br />
Notes (i) Your deposit is non-refundable, even if the cancellation charge calculated<br />
is lower than the deposit amount paid; (ii) If the reason for your cancellation is<br />
covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these<br />
charges; (iii) certain travel arrangements may be subject to higher cancellation<br />
charges and could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the<br />
arrangements from the moment the booking is confirmed.<br />
You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the<br />
performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is<br />
significantly affected by unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In such<br />
circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated and for you to<br />
receive a full refund. We will observe and act in accordance with advice provided by<br />
the Department of Foreign Affairs.<br />
For the purposes of these terms and conditions “unavoidable and extraordinary<br />
circumstances” include but are not limited to: war, threat of war, airport closures,<br />
airspace closures (as well as other air traffic management decisions which may give<br />
rise to long or overnight delays or cancellations of one or more flights), the inability<br />
of airline(s) to operate flights as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave<br />
the European Union (including the loss or restriction of air traffic or transit rights or<br />
the right of airline(s) to enter any airspace), epidemic, significant risks to human<br />
health such as the outbreak of a serious disease at the travel destination, natural or<br />
nuclear disaster, serious security problems such as terrorist activity, civil unrest or<br />
events arising out of political instability, industrial dispute or strikes, bad weather<br />
(actual or threatened), the Department of Foreign Affairs advising against travel to<br />
a particular destination and significant building work taking place outside of your<br />
accommodation (such as resort development).<br />
6. If You Change Your Booking<br />
If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel<br />
arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or<br />
accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not<br />
always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from<br />
the lead name or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration<br />
charge of£60€75, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration (including<br />
those charged by third party suppliers who provide the component parts of your<br />
booking). You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the<br />
departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as<br />
possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements may not be changeable after a<br />
reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation<br />
charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.<br />
You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions<br />
that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing at least 7 days before<br />
departure provided that the new lead passenger accepts the transfer and these<br />
booking conditions. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all<br />
costs we incur in making the transfer. Please bear in mind that certain airlines and<br />
other transport providers treat changes as a cancellation and charge accordingly,<br />
up to 100% of the cost for that part of the arrangement. Where applicable these<br />
charges will be passed on to you.<br />
7. If we cancel your booking<br />
We reserve the right to cancel your booking. We will not cancel less than 4 weeks<br />
before your departure date, except for unavoidable and extraordinary<br />
circumstances (as defined in clause 5), or failure by you to pay the final balance, or<br />
because the minimum number required for the package to go ahead hasn’t been<br />
reached. The minimum number required will be provided to you with the holiday<br />
description. The time limit for cancellation for such failure to reach minimum<br />
numbers shall not be later than:<br />
(a) 20 days before the start of the package in the case of trips lasting more than 6<br />
days.<br />
(b) 7 days before the start of the package in the case of trips lasting between 2 and<br />
6 days<br />
(c) 48 hours before the start of the package in the case of trips lasting less than 2<br />
days.<br />
If your holiday is cancelled you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept<br />
an alternative holiday of comparable standard from us if we offer one (we will<br />
refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value).<br />
In the event a refund is paid to you, we will:<br />
1. provide a full refund of your travel insurance premiums if you paid them to us and<br />
can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.<br />

Booking Terms & Conditions<br />
8. If we change your booking<br />
(a) Changes to the price<br />
We can change your holiday price after you’ve booked, only in certain<br />
circumstances:<br />
Changes in the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the<br />
cost of fuel or other power sources, the level of taxes or fees imposed by third<br />
parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees<br />
at ports and airports or exchange rates mean that the price of your travel<br />
arrangements may change after you have booked. However, there will be no change<br />
within 20 days of your departure.<br />
We will absorb, and you will not be charged for, any increase equivalent to 2% of the<br />
price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any<br />
amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that. If this<br />
results in an increase equivalent to more than 8% of the price of your travel<br />
arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if<br />
we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a<br />
lower value), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for<br />
any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel: 1) you must do so within the<br />
time period shown on your final invoice 2) We will provide a refund of insurance<br />
premiums paid to us if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your<br />
policy.<br />
Should the price of your holiday go down due to the cost changes mentioned<br />
above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our<br />
administrative expenses incurred. Please note that travel arrangements are not<br />
always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on<br />
the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.<br />
(b) Changes other than the price<br />
It is a term of your booking that we are able to make changes to any aspect of your<br />
booking. If the change is insignificant, we will ensure that you are notified about it.<br />
Examples of insignificant changes include alteration of your outward/return flights<br />
by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to<br />
another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers.<br />
If we are forced by circumstances beyond our control to alter significantly any of<br />
the main characteristics of the travel services that make up your package you will<br />
have the rights set out below.<br />
I. We will contact you and you will have the choice of accepting the change or<br />
having a refund of all monies paid. You can also accept an alternative holiday, where<br />
we offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower<br />
value). We will tell you the procedure for making your choice. Please read any<br />
notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to<br />
us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled.<br />
II. If you choose to accept a refund:<br />
a. we will provide a full refund of your travel insurance premiums if you paid them to<br />
us and can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.<br />
b. we will pay compensation as detailed below except where the significant change<br />
is due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, which means a situation<br />
beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even<br />
if all reasonable measures had been taken. The compensation that we offer does<br />
not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.<br />
9. Our Liability to You<br />
You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper<br />
performance of the travel services included in this package. If any of the travel<br />
services included in your package are not performed in accordance with these<br />
booking conditions, or are improperly performed, by us or the travel service<br />
suppliers, and this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements, you may<br />
be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. We will not<br />
be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel<br />
services is due to (i) you or another member of your party; (ii) a third party<br />
unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the package and is<br />
unforeseeable or unavoidable; or (iii) unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances<br />
(as defined in clause 5).<br />
Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a<br />
maximum of three times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also<br />
be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to the following:<br />
a) You agree that any transport company’s (or other supplier’s) own ‘Conditions of<br />
Carriage’ will apply to you on any journey by road, rail, sea or air. When arranging<br />
this transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within<br />
these international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage'. You<br />
acknowledge that all of these terms and conditions form part of your contract with<br />
us as well as with the transport company. You can ask us or the travel agent<br />
booking your holiday to provide you with a copy of any of the conditions applicable<br />
to your journey. The airline's terms and conditions are available on request. We will<br />
tell you the identity of the air carrier when you book with us and if it is not known at<br />
that time or subsequently changes we will inform you as soon as possible and no<br />
later than at check-in for your flight; and<br />
b)Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in<br />
respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne<br />
Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the<br />
provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of and conditions under which<br />
compensation can be claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss,<br />
damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any<br />
limitation of the extent of or the conditions under which compensation is to be paid<br />
under these or any conventions.<br />
You can ask for copies of the travel service contractual terms, or the international<br />
conventions, from operations@americanholidays.com.<br />
In the event of any liability on our part for injury, illness or death, no payment will be<br />
made unless the following conditions are complied with:<br />
(I) You must advise us of any injury or illness while you are at the resort and must<br />
also write to us within three months of the completion of the holiday;<br />
(II) You must transfer any rights that you have, in respect of such injury, illness or<br />
death against any person to us or our insurers;<br />
(III) You must co-operate fully with us to enable us or our insurers to enforce such<br />
rights.<br />
Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to<br />
refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding,<br />
cancellation or delay to flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and<br />
available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically<br />
entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or<br />
compensation from us is set out in these booking conditions. If any payments to<br />
you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline or any other service<br />
provider will be deducted.<br />
If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to unavoidable and<br />
extraordinary circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if<br />
possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t<br />
apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them,<br />
pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific<br />
medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours<br />
before the start of your holiday.<br />
Standards of, for example, safety, hygiene and quality vary throughout the transport<br />
and destinations that your holiday may involve. Sometimes these standards will be<br />
lower than those which would be expected in the Ireland. The suppliers of the<br />
services and facilities included in your holiday should comply with local standards<br />
where they are provided.<br />
Note: this entire clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter<br />
into for excursions or activities whilst on holiday for which liability rests with the<br />
excursion provider and not us.<br />
10. Complaints and Assistance<br />
If you have a complaint about any of the services included in your holiday and/or<br />
need assistance whilst away, you must inform our local representative [or<br />
operations@americanholidays.com] without undue delay who will endeavour to put<br />
things right.<br />
If it is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home<br />
by writing to our Customer Services Department at<br />
customerservices@americanholidays.com or post to <strong><strong>America</strong>n</strong> <strong>Holidays</strong>, Harcourt<br />
Centre, Block 4, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2 D02 HW77giving your booking reference<br />
and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point.<br />
If you fail to follow the requirement to report your complaint in resort we will have<br />
been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify it and this may affect<br />
your rights under this booking. An Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform has<br />
been set up by the European Commission<br />
http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ which provides easy access to alternative<br />
dispute resolution (ADR). Please note that we are not currently subscribed to an<br />
approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme therefore neither the ODR<br />
platform nor any approved ADR providers will be able to accept your complaint. If<br />
you prefer, you can take your complaint to the District Court Small Claims<br />
Procedure or another suitable court.<br />
Additional assistance<br />
If you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday and ask us to help we will provide appropriate<br />
assistance, in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities<br />
and consular assistance; and helping you to find alternative arrangements and any<br />
necessary phone calls/emails. You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is<br />
your fault.<br />
11. Passport, Visa, Health, Travel and Immigration Requirements<br />
Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements<br />
are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies<br />
and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because<br />
you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.<br />
We are able to advise on mandatory health requirements; however, we are not<br />
medical experts. It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain proper and<br />
detailed medical advice at least 2 months prior to travel for the latest health<br />
requirements, recommendations for your destination and any costs. You should<br />
check this information at least 2 months before departure and again within 14 days<br />
of travel. Where you do not do so and either are not allowed to enter any country,<br />
or suffer personal injury or death as a result, we have no liability to you for any cost,<br />
loss or damage which you suffer nor will we refund you the cost of any unused<br />
portion of your travel arrangements. Clients with existing medical problems,<br />
pregnant women and anyone who has recently visited other countries should check<br />
requirements with their general practitioner.<br />
When assessing whether holidays will operate we use information from our local<br />
offices in conjunction with advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and other<br />
relevant government bodies. It is your responsibility to acquaint yourself with the<br />
travel advice provided by these government bodies. For more information, please<br />
visit our Travel Advice https://www.americanholidays.com/en-ie/travel-advice/ and<br />
the government www.dfa.ie/travel/travel-advice/for your destination country.<br />
12. Conduct<br />
We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with<br />
you if we, or another person in authority, believe your behaviour is disruptive,<br />
causes unnecessary inconvenience, is threatening or abusive, you damage property,<br />
you upset, annoy, disturb, or put any other traveller or our staff or agents in Ireland<br />
or resort in any risk or danger, on the telephone, in writing or in person.<br />
If the Captain of your flight or cruise ship or any of our resort staff or agents<br />
believes that you could be disruptive or that you are suffering from a contagious<br />
disease, they can also refuse to let you proceed with your travel arrangements,<br />
restrict your movements on board, disembark you from a ship or aircraft, or remove<br />
you from your accommodation or excursion.<br />
If you are disruptive and prevented from boarding your outbound flight in Ireland,<br />
we will treat your booking as cancelled by you from that moment, and you will have<br />
to pay full cancellation charges (see section 5). If this occurs overseas then you will<br />
become responsible for your own return home and any other members of your<br />
group who cannot or will not travel without you. We will not be liable for any<br />
refund, or compensation or any costs or expenses you incur.<br />
If you are refused carriage because of your behaviour, or you are under the<br />
influence of alcohol or drugs, your airline may pass on your details and date of the<br />
refusal of carriage to other airlines for their information. This in turn may make it<br />
difficult for you to book other airline tickets. In any of these circumstances no<br />
refunds or compensation will be paid to you.<br />
As a result of your behaviour during any stage of your holiday including on an<br />
aircraft, transfer, in any accommodation, cruise or excursion, we reserve the right to<br />
make a claim against you for any damages, costs and expenses (including legal<br />
expenses) incurred as a result, including but not limited to (i) cleaning, repairing or<br />
replacing property lost, damaged or destroyed by you, (ii) compensating any<br />
passenger, crew, staff or agent affected by your actions and (iii) diverting the<br />
aircraft or cruise for the purpose of removing you. Criminal proceedings may also<br />
be instigated.<br />
For the purposes of this section reference to “you” or “your” includes any other<br />
