Terms & Conditions of Booking 

From the time we issue an invoice confirming your holiday arrangements, a 

contract exists between us. This means that City Cruiser Holidays Ltd have 

certain obligations towards you, our client - and you in return have an 

undertaking towards City Cruiser Holidays Ltd. We have set out below in 

simple terms the terms of this agreement, so that everyone’s responsibilities 

and rights are clearly understood. We explain what happens if you wish to 

make a change to your holiday, and the terms on which we will pay you 

compensation in the unlikely event of having to alter your holiday. The terms 

of this Fair Trading Agreement apply to all holidays operated by City Cruiser 

Holidays. Your contract is entered into with City Cruiser Holidays Limited. 

PAYMENT The completed booking form, signed by the party leader and 

including the names of all persons travelling, must be accompanied by a 

deposit of £45.00 per person (coach holidays), £50.00 per person deposit 

(on tours to Disneyland® Resort Paris), £100 per person (air holidays) (unless 

otherwise shown). On receipt of your completed booking form we will send 

you an invoice stating the balance due to us and the final date for payment, 

which is normally three weeks before the date of travel (four weeks on holidays 

to Disneyland® Resort Paris or ten weeks on holidays by air). No further 

reminder is sent to you, and if the balance remains unpaid after this date, we 

reserve the right to cancel your holiday and retain the deposit you have paid. 

If you book within four weeks of the departure date Coach holidays - ten 

weeks air holidays you must pay the full amount at the time of booking. 

Personal cheques cannot be accepted if booking/paying within 10 working 

days of departure. It is agreed by all parties that in any action arising out of 

or in connection with this Contract English law will govern. 

CANCELLATION BY YOU - We begin to incur expenditure from the time we 

receive your booking, and so the deposit is paid to us as a sign of your 

willingness to utilise the travel arrangements and accommodation which we 

reserve on your behalf. If you wish to cancel your reservation you must do 

so in writing, and the charges you incur will depend on the date on which we 

receive this written notification. It is in your own interest to give us as much 

notice as possible, as cancellation charges incurred are on a sliding scale, 

as detailed: 

Coach Holidays 

• Prior to 21 days of departure - loss of deposit 

• 21-15 days before departure - 45% or deposit if greater 

• 14-7 days before date of departure - 60% or deposit if greater 

• Up to 6 days before departure - 100% 

Air Holidays 

• Prior to 42 days before departure - loss of deposit 

• 42-29 days before departure - 50% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 

• 28-15 days before departure - 60% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 

• 14-7 days before date of departure - 90% of holiday cost or deposit if 

greater 

• Up to 6 days before departure - 100% 

Percentages shown are percentages of the total cost of your holiday. 

Insurance premiums are not refundable. However, your insurance policy 

covers cancellation for various reasons, and you may be able to claim for 

any cancellation charges incurred. 

ALTERATION BY YOU - The following details shows charges applicable for 

any changes you may make to your reservation after we have received your 

booking form and deposit. In all cases you must notify us or your travel agent 

in writing of your intention to make an alteration. 

i) If you wish to change to another City Cruiser holiday and providing you 

notify us more than 21 days (coach holidays) more than 70 days (air holidays) 

in advance of the original departure date you will be charged an amendment 

fee of £5.00 per person up to a maximum of £40.00 per booking form - Except 

Ticket events including Concerts, Theatres, Shows, Sporting Events etc. 

where no change can be made. We reserve the right to make an additional 

charge to cover in full any costs charged to us by our suppliers. 

ii) If you change your holiday less than 21 days (coach holidays) 70 days 

(air holidays) before the due date of departure it will be treated as a cancellation 

and cancellation charges will be levied as in paragraph 2. 

iii) If you wish to make any other alterations to your original booking e.g.: 

change the pick up point, alter the type of room you require or make a spelling 

amendment to a name, you will be charged an amendment fee of £5.00 per 

amendment on coach holidays or £20.00 per amendment on air holidays. If 

a booking amendment involves a change of name, insurance premiums are 

not transferable. We reserve the right to make additional charges to cover in 

full any costs charged to us by our suppliers. 

iv) Please note that if the booking alteration involves a change of name, 

insurance premiums are not transferable. Where any changes made to a 

booking (including change of surname, initial or title) involve travel by 

scheduled flights we reserve the right to make an additional charge to cover 

in full any cost charged to us by our suppliers. 

TRAVEL INSURANCE - It is a requirement that when you travel you must 

take out adequate insurance. Full details are available and the premium 

should be added to your deposit. If you would prefer to arrange your own 

insurance it must be of equivalent or greater cover than our own, must include 

76 

24 hour emergency assistance, and details must be given on the booking 

form. Please note: It is your responsibility if required to arrange additional 

cover exceeding the maximum amounts payable under the Company policy 

or for areas of additional liability (see later). We are unable to accept 

responsibility for any costs you or anyone in your party may incur as a result 

of failing to take out insurance cover. 

ALTERATIONS BY US - IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY - It is unlikely 

that we will have to make any changes to your holiday, but we do plan the 

arrangements many months in advance, and sometimes we may need to 

make changes. Most of these changes however are quite minor, but where 

they are significant we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as is 

reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. If a MAJOR change 

becomes necessary we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as 

reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. Flight timings and 

carriers in brochures are subject to change as a result of airline procedures. 

Minor changes include a change of aircraft type, airline, departure airport or 

airport destination or accommodation to that of the same or higher standard 

of classification. A major change is one that we make to your holiday 

arrangements before departure that involves changing your resort area, or 

time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering 

accommodation of a lower rating than that originally booked. You then have 

the choice of: 

i) Accepting the changed arrangements notified to you 

ii) Purchasing another available holiday from us 

iii) Cancelling your holiday 

If you choose i) or ii) we will pay you compensation on the scale shown 

below. If you choose iii) we will refund you all monies paid to us plus 

compensation on the scale shown below. However in no case will we pay 

compensation if the change is due to an event listed in Important Note below. 

PERIOD BEFORE SCHEDULED DEPARTURE WITHIN WHICH A MAJOR 

CHANGE IS NOTIFIED TO YOU OR YOUR TRAVEL AGENT. 

Compensation per Person 

More than 21 days NIL 

15-20 days £10.00 

0-14 days £15.00 

Important Note: Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused 

by war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, 

natural disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure of ports or 

similar events beyond our control amounting to force majeure. The 

compensation payments do not apply to day trips. 

IF WE CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY - It is necessary for there to be a minimum 

number of passengers in order to operate a tour. In certain circumstances 

therefore we may have to cancel your holiday and if this should occur we will 

return to you all monies paid to us or offer you a suitable alternative. However 

we will not cancel your holiday: i) Immediately prior to the departure date 

unless you have not paid for your holiday in full, If we then cancel your 

holiday you will be entitled to either a comparable holiday or a full refund. 

ii) After the balance due date except as a result of hostilities, political unrest, 

or other circumstances amounting to force majeure. 

If we have to cancel your holiday at any time City Cruiser Holidays Ltd is 

liable only for any monies you have paid to us at the time of cancellation and 

for the compensation payments as detailed above. 

SURCHARGES - The price of your travel arrangements can be varied due to 

changes in transportation costs - eg fuel, scheduled air fares and any other 

airline surcharges which are part of the contract between airlines (and their 

Agents) and the Tour Operator/Organiser, Government action such as 

increases in VAT or any other Government imposed increases and a drop in 

exchange rates. In the case of any small variation an amount equivalent to 

2% of the price of your travel arrangements which excludes insurance 

premiums and any amendment charges will be absorbed or retained. For 

larger variations this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained 

from refunds. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1 per 

person together with an amount to cover Agent’s commission. If this means 

that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel 

arrangements you may cancel your travel arrangements and receive a full 

refund of all monies paid, except for any additional amendment charges. We 

will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can 

show that you are unable to transfer or re-use your policy. Should you decide 

to cancel for this reason you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days 

from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Whether you cancel or not 

you will also be entitled on the terms set out in respect of major changes as 

detailed below to accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements from us if 

we are able to do so and compensation is set out below. 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. Surcharges will not be imposed within 30 days 

of departure unless the holiday is booked within that period. Prices include 

all known costs when we went to press and are based on the following currency 

rates as recommended by ABTA on 01 March 2011 as published in the 

Financial Times. All rates are £ sterling: Euros 1.1783, US$ 1.62 

Unless specifically indicated in the holiday description entrance fees, guide 

costs, city guided tours and optional excursions are not included in the holiday 

price. Some hotels charge extra for porterage and tea/coffee served with 

lunch or dinner. 

All prices and supplements in this brochure are quoted per person per holiday. 

Holiday prices include all travel, accommodation as specified and VAT as 

applicable in September 2011. 

At the time of printing we have been advised of the possibility of the introduction 

of consumer levies to provide additional financial protection for the holidays 

in this brochure. If such a levy is introduced it will be shown as a separate 

item on your invoice and will not be subject to our surcharge guarantee. 

PAYMENTS FROM YOU - If you book a holiday which does not include flights 

through one of our authorised travel agents all monies you pay to him will be 

held on our behalf from the time you receive our confirmation showing our 

acceptance of your booking. After that all such monies will be held on our 

behalf. If you book an air holiday with us through one of our authorised 

agents any money held by him is held on behalf of City Cruiser Holidays 

Limited. 

SENDING YOUR TICKETS - After you have paid your final balance we will 

send you your tickets and travel information approximately 7 days before 

your scheduled departure date. 

LACK OF FACILITIES - All holiday arrangements, hotels and coach facilities 

advertised in this brochure are published by us in good faith, and to the best 

of our knowledge are accurate. However, as this brochure is written twelve 

months in advance, and due to various reasons such as adverse weather, 

breakdown, seasonal activities etc., some amenities may not be available at 

the time of your stay. 

OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU - We accept responsibility for ensuring 

that all components of your holiday as described in this brochure are supplied 

to you to a reasonable standard. If any part is not provided in the advertised 

manner we will pay you reasonable compensation unless the non-provision 

was due to circumstances which we could not predict and which were beyond 

our control such as adverse weather conditions, road or traffic conditions or 

other such conditions amounting to Force Majeure. Please remember that 

some amenities (e.g. lifts, swimming pools, etc.) require servicing and cleaning 

and may not therefore be available at all times. Some services may be affected 

by weather conditions and their availability is entirely at the discretion of the 

other provider of the service. Entertainment (particularly live entertainment) 

is frequently subject to demand and its nature and/or frequency may be varied 

if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers. 

FLIGHT HOLIDAYS - All prices for flight holidays unless otherwise stated 

are based on air travel in economy class. Passenger travel on scheduled 

airlines is provided under the conditions of the airline concerned as printed 

on the air ticket or website. We reserve the right to substitute an alternative 

airline or aircraft type. This brochure is issued on the sole responsibility of 

the tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of the airlines whose services are 

used in the course of the tour. Please note Flight times shown in this brochure 

although correct at the time of printing are for guidance only and may vary as 

a result of subsequent adjustment to airline flight schedules. Final timings 

and tickets will be enclosed with your travel documentation. 

PERSONAL INJURY (WHILST PARTICIPATING IN ARRANGEMENTS 

MADE BY US) ADDITIONAL PROTECTION- City Cruiser Holidays Ltd has 

taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements 

have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure 

and the supplies of all the services are efficient, safe and reputable and that 

they comply with Local and National laws and regulations of the country in 

which they provide these services. Whilst we have no direct control over the 

provision of services to you by suppliers we will pay to our clients the equivalent 

of such damages as they would be entitled to receive under English law in an 

English court for any personal injury to the client, including illness or death, 

caused by the failure to perform or improper performance of such services or 

agents of ourselves or any of our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by 

us to provide any part of the arrangements for your holiday as described in 

this brochure where such failure or improper performance is due to the fault 

of such person whilst acting within thescope, or in the course of their 

employment and not an event which such person could foresee or forestall 

even if they had taken all due care. 

PLEASE NOTE: We will make payments as stated above provided: 

i) That claims for personal injury are notified to us within 3 months of return 

from holiday. 

ii) That injured clients assign to City Cruiser Holidays Ltd any rights against a 

supplier or other person or party they may have relating to the claim. 

iii) They agree to co-operate with us fully should we or our insurers wish to 

enforce those rights which have been assigned to us or to which we are 

subrogated. 

iv) Such payment is limited in the case of transport by water or air to a 

maximum of such sums as would be obtained under the provisions of the 

appropriate International conventions. 

This assignment is necessary to enable us to try and recover from suppliers 


any compensation we have paid to clients and associated costs, arising from 

personal injury to clients caused by the fault of those suppliers. If we recover 

more than such compensation and costs, any excess will be paid to the injured 

client. Please note the operation of overseas property, transport and other 

services is regulated and enforced by local authorities of each country and is 

subject to the laws, regulations and standards of codes of practice of that 

country. The legal and safety requirements of many foreign countries are 

lower than in the UK. It is only the local standards of each country that 

foreign suppliers operate to. 

ADDITIONAL PROTECTION - City Cruiser Holidays Limited values its 

reputation with you, our client, and has therefore made arrangements for 

those enforceable difficulties that may occur in which you may suffer illness, 

injury or death during your holiday, arising from an activity which is not part of 

the holiday arrangements, nor organised locally through our own 

representative, nor through your own misadventure. In cases where holiday 

insurance does not already offer such an arrangement, we are prepared to 

provide financial assistance up to a limit of £5,000 per booking for advice, 

guidance and assistance where appropriate, to help deal with such a mishap. 

(Should you subsequently receive a satisfactory settlement, we would look 

to recover our costs). This is on condition that you make an insurance claim 

on the legal expenses section of your insurance cover in respect of any legal 

fees incurred abroad for that purpose, and that you produce to us confirmation 

from the insurance company in respect of receipt of your notification to them 

of your claim. 

TRAVEL DELAYS AND DISPUTES - Compensation will not be payable for 

any aspect of your holiday affected by matters over which we have no control, 

such as weather conditions, industrial disputes affecting ferries, airlines, 

floods, civil disturbances, coach mechanical problems, lack of coach facilities 

etc. In the unlikely event of a delay due to mechanical failure of one of our 

coaches, we undertake to do out utmost to arrange an alternative vehicle as 

quickly as possible. We make every effort to operate coaches of the standard 

described in this brochure but can not accept claims from passengers on the 

basis of an inferior vehicle being used as a relief or replacement in an 

emergency, or any coach features being in-operable or clients/drivers smoking 

in contravention of our policy. We cannot accept responsibility for delays in 

arriving at the resort, missed onward travel arrangement, the loss of wages 

as a result of a delay in return to the UK unless it is our proven or gross 

negligence. No responsibility will be accepted for inconvenience or lost 

holidays where clients have presumed the coach will be in City Cruiser 

Holidays colours and failed to approach the vehicle to check with the crew. 

Unless otherwise indicated, on Continental tours, cross channel ferries are 

used. However we do reserve the right to use Eurotunnel in the event of 

industrial action, bad weather or for unforeseeable operational reasons. 

Likewise where we advertise where Eurotunnel will be used, we reserve the 

right to use a ferry crossing in the event of industrial action, bad weather or 

unforeseeable conditions. Compensation will not be payable in such 

circumstances. 

COMPLAINTS - In the unlikely event that you should wish to complain about 

any aspect of your holiday, you must notify our driver/local representative 

immediately in order that he/she has the opportunity to resolve the problem 

quickly and to your satisfaction. If you still have reason to be dissatisfied 

upon completion of your holiday you should write within 28 days of your return 

to the Customer Services Department, City Cruiser Holidays Limited, setting 

out details of your complaint and quoting your booking reference number. 

Because of the difficulties involved in looking into a problem too long after the 

event we will not consider, nor accept, any liability for any complaint unless it 

is notified to us within the time stated above or reported to our driver/local 

representative at the time. Some telephone conversations may be recorded. 

Disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract which cannot be 

amicably settled may be referred to arbitration if the customer so wishes 

under a special scheme arranged by ABTA. The scheme provides for a simple 

and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with a restricted 

liability on the consumer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on 

request or can be obtained from the ABTA website, (www.abta.com). The 

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

person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it 

apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or the 

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. 

The application for arbitration and statement of claim must be received by 

ABTA within 18 months of the date of return from holiday. Outside this time 

limit arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the Company agrees 

but the ABTA code does not require such agreement. 

For injury and illness claims you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure 

and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the 

code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on

STATUTORY AUTHORITIES - This brochure is issued to the approval of the 

Traffic Commissioners and Civil Aviation Authorities and the company reserves 

the right to modify itineraries to conform with requests from the competent 

authorities in the United Kingdom and any other Sovereign State through 

which the tours run. 

CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE - When you travel on an aircraft, train or ship, 

the conditions of carriage of that carrier apply and are subject to National 

and International conditions which may limit or exclude liability. Your contract 

made under the terms of these booking conditions is subject to English law 

and jurisdiction. Some coach journeys are operated by vehicles other than 

those owned by City Cruiser Holidays Ltd and the specification may be different 

to that detailed in this brochure. The Public Service Vehicle (conduct of drivers, 

conductors and passengers) regulations as amended 1990, apply to all 

coaches throughout any holiday in the UK. 

Other terms - On a holiday you may not: 

i) Bring a pet or any other animal (except Guide dogs in UK & Eire only and 

by arrangement) 

ii) Play a radio or cassette player on a coach. 

City Cruiser Holidays Ltd. reserves the unconditional right to refuse a booking 

or terminate a client’s holiday in the event of unreasonable conduct which in 

the opinion of Harry Shaw Holidays is likely to cause damage, distress, danger 

of annoyance to other clients, employees, property or to any third party. If 

you are prevented from travelling or continuing your holiday by such a 

termination City Cruiser Holidays Ltd responsibility for your holiday thereupon 

ceases. Full cancellation charges will apply and we will be under no obligation 

for any refund, compensation or loss which you may incur. You are responsible 

for insuring that you are at the correct departure point at the correct time, and 

we cannot be liable for any loss or expense suffered by passengers because 

of their late arrival at any departure point. Excursions are included in the 

price of some holidays and refunds cannot be made for passengers not wishing 

to go on these excursions. Admission fees to buildings, ground, attractions 

etc. are not included. If travelling by air you should check in at your departure 

airport at least two hours before the departure time shown on your air ticket. 

Actual flight times will be those shown on your flight tickets. 

PASSENGERS WITH HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS - Our holidays may not 

be suitable for people with certain disabilities or medical conditions. If you have 

a disability coaches can be difficult to get on and off and some of our hotels do 

not offer ground/low floor accommodation or lifts/easy access. Should any 

member of your party suffer from any disability, medical condition or require 

special needs that may affect their holiday or that of others you must provide full 

written details at the time you book the holiday, including any specific requirements 

that person has. Additionally, at the time you book the holiday you must provide 

written confirmation that all assistance the disabled person requires will be 

provided by you. 

Please be aware that no outside assistance is available. In view of the nature of 

our holidays we regret that we must reserve the right to decline any bookings 

whenever we feel unable to accommodate the needs of any particular client or 

where, in our opinion, the medical condition or disability of the client concerned 

is likely to have a significant adverse affect on any other clients taking the same 

holiday. 

We further reserve the right to cancel any holiday and impose cancellation 

charges if we are not fully advised of any relevant disability or medical condition 

at the time of booking. Notwithstanding the above, City Cruiser Holidays Limited 

cannot accept any liability regarding the suitability of individual holidays and we 

must reserve the right to decline a booking should it be considered that we will 

be unable to meet in full our contractual obligations to customers. 

Please Note: If you wish to take a folding wheelchair, you must notify us in 

advance. Due to space restrictions battery driven, or electric wheelchairs or 

vehicles cannot be carried on coaches. 

Special menus/diets may incur an additional charge which must be paid locally 

to the hotel concerned. 

ROOM ALLOCATION - Every effort will be made to provide the kind of room 

you have booked and we will endeavour to convey special requests to 

Hoteliers, however, we accept no liability for any failure to provide a special 

request which is not specified in the brochure and for which no supplement 

payment is made. Our liability for the provision of additional facilities for 

which a supplement is paid the liability shall be limited to the brochure price 

for that supplement. Booking for rooms with private facilities will be deemed 

to be affected by the provision of either bath and w.c. or shower and w.c. 

Request for one or the other will be treated as a request only. When booking 

a double room requests for a twin or a double bed should be made clearly, 

otherwise it will be assumed that either type is acceptable. In some hotels a 

twin bedded room may have a single king size base with two mattresses 

each with its own bed linen. The room description shown on your holiday 

confirmation refers to the main hotel on your holiday. Overnight hotels may 

offer different room types. It is worth noting that in some European countries 

it is a common feature for showers to have no cubicle or shower curtain. The 

reference to ‘Hotel’ in brochures covers all accommodation and does not 

necessarily distinguish between local classifications such as ‘Apartotel’, 

‘Hostel’, ‘Pension’, ‘Taverna’, ‘Residencia’, ‘Gasthof’, ‘Garni’, ‘Motel’ etc. Some 

of the hotels etc. have annexes which are nearby for sleeping with the main 

meals being taken in the main building. Meals can either be hot or cold and 

not all hotels offer a choice of menu. Hotel management’s can change meal 

service arrangements from buffet to waiter service and vice versa at very 

short notice. No responsibility can be taken or compensation provided for 

any affect this may have on your holiday. It is possible you will be sharing 

accommodation with a group from another country. Single rooms are not 

quite as good as twin or double rooms in terms of size, location and standard 

- a supplement is paid for privacy rather than facilities. On continental holidays 

three bedded rooms are normally twin/double rooms plus an extra bed, which 

may or may not be suitable for an adult and space will inevitably be restricted. 

The accommodation provided is only for the use of the passengers shown on 

the holiday invoice as confirmed by us, sub-letting, sharing or assignment is 

prohibited. 

SEAT ALLOCATION - AIR HOLIDAYS - Infants under six months must sit on 

an adults lap with a strap for the duration of the flight. Infants aged six months 

and over but under two years on the date of return travel must sit on an 

adults lap with a strap for take-off and landing. During the flight they may 

occupy a seat if one is vacant. Children booked as infants who are not under 

two years of age on the date of the return flight will have to be paid for at the 

appropriate price before boarding. If there are insufficient seats they will be 

refused boarding as airline regulations state that all children aged two years 

and over must have their own seat. Infants under two years do not have a 

baggage allowance, though a fold up pushchair will be carried free. 

COACH SEAT NUMBERS - On coach holidays the seat number reserved for 

you is reserved on your ticket. Please Note; we reserve the right to change 

this at any time and no compensation will be payable for changes made. 

SMOKING POLICY - COACHES - All of our main tour coaches are designated 

as “NON SMOKING”. We cannot control policies adopted by transfer coach 

operators. Complete compliance with this policy is impossible to guarantee. 

NO SMOKING FLIGHTS - An ever growing number of domestic and 

International airlines are introducing partial or total smoking bans on their 

flights. We are obviously unable to accept liability for non-availability of 

smoking seats due to changing airline policies. 

LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE - Our maximum liability to you for loss or damage 

to luggage is £25 per person. We cannot accept any responsibility for loss or 

damage in respect of: 

a) Fragile items such as chinaware, glassware or similar items 

b) Cash, foreign currency, travellers cheques or other forms of money, 

credit or debit cards 

c) Jewellery 

d) Passports 

e) Cameras and camcorders, CDs/cassette players; hearing aids; 

binolculars; spectacles; medication; mobile phones or computer 

equipment 

f) Leather/fur coats 

g) Cigarettes, tobacco, perfume or drinks including alcoholic drinks 

We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal belongings 

left on vehicle overnight. 

Luggage is restricted to one medium size suitcase (30”x18”x10”) per 

person, and it is also recommended that you take an overnight bag with 

you for use on the coach during the journey, plus a cushion or small pillow. 

The standard baggage allowance is up to 15kg for hold luggage and 5kg 

for hand luggage. Infants under 2 years of age do not have a baggage 

allowance. Baggage allowances must be strictly adhered to with possible 

charges imposed for excess baggage. Please note that due to legal coach 

weight restrictions no “cool boxes” or cases of beer or wine can be carried 

on the outward or return coach journeys. Regrettably we are unable to 

carry skis, bicycles or fishing rods etc. Whilst our Driver will of course 

physically load your luggage onto the coach it is your responsibility to 

ensure that your luggage is loaded onboard the coach on which you are 

travelling. We cannot accept responsibility for loss of or damage to, 

luggage or personal effects unless it can be established to have been 

caused by our negligence. Porterage is not normally available between the 

coach and accommodation. Where this service is available it may incur a 

small additional charge. Few travel insurance policies provide cover for 

baggage of personal belongings left on an unattended vehicle overnight. 

You should take all your personal belongings with you at overnight stops. 

We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal belongings 

otherwise. Please be sure your luggage is in good condition. 

PASSPORT & VISAS - For all Continental and Worldwide holidays you will 

require a full ten year passport issued in the UK valid for either three or six 

months after arrival back in the UK. If you have any doubts about your status 

as a resident British subject or you do not hold a full British passport, you 

must check with the Embassies or Consulates of the countries to be visited, 

to confirm the passport/visa requirements needed in your particular 

circumstances. We cannot accept responsibility if passengers are not in 

possession of the correct travel documents. Remember that Spouses must 

have their own passport and children including babies who are not already 

included on a valid 10 year passport will need to hold their own passport if 

they are to travel abroad. It is not now possible to add or include children on 

British passports. Children who are already included on an existing passport 

may continue to travel with the passport holder until either the child reaches 

the age of 16 or the passport on which the child is included expires or needs 

to be amended. The name on the passport must match the name on the 

ticket. If you need to apply for a passport do so at lease twelve weeks before 

departure. There are often long delays in obtaining visas so be certain to 

apply in plenty of time. Please note: Visas - some countries have special 

rules about passport and visas. Please check with embassies or consulates 

of countries to be visited to confirm requirements. With USA - majority of 

visitors to the USA from Britain no longer require a visa as a result of the Visa 

Waiver Programme. There are some exclusions however, for example 

passengers holding a British subject passport and anyone with a criminal 

record. Please contact the US embassy for further information. 

SPECIAL REQUESTS - We cannot accept any reservation which is made 

conditional upon a Special Request being satisfied. Requests cannot be 

guaranteed and do not form part of a contract between us. 

DEPARTURE POINTS 

All departure points are operated strictly subject to a minimum number of 

passengers. We reserve the right to offer you an alternative departure point 

should operational circumstances ever deem this necessary. 

INCLUDED EXCURSION PROGRAMMES - No entrance fees or boat fares 

are included on trips and we reserve the right to substitute any advertised 

excursion with a similar alternative if operational reasons should ever make 

it necessary. The availability of optional excursions cannot be guaranteed 

and are operated on the basis of a min. 20 passengers booking. 

HEALTH - Always check with your Doctor as to which inoculations are 

advisable or necessary well before you travel. You should always refer to the 

DOH leaflet T5 (Advice For Travellers) available from your local DOH office. 

This does not however replace the need for holiday insurance. Similarly, in 

some foreign countries levels of liability insurance (whether required by law 

or held voluntarily) are considerably lower than those normally held or 

requested in the UK. You may wish to arrange top up personal accident 

insurance for your party particularly if you are intending to take an excursion 

involving transportation by water or by air other than on a British registered 

airline. 

ACCOMMODATION - Your accommodation will usually be ready for 

occupation from early afternoon on the day of your arrival. On the day of 

your return journey you will normally be required to vacate your 

accommodation by 9am. Please leave it clean and tidy. Arrangements 

wherever possible are made for you to leave your luggage at the hotel for the 

rest of the day and facilities are made available for a wash and change of 

clothes. With the exception of self-catering and bed and breakfast holidays, 

the first meal is dinner on arrival and the last meal is breakfast on the day of 

departure on both half and full board holidays. Full board provides breakfast, 

lunch and dinner daily whilst half board provides just breakfast and dinner. 

Breakfast is usually continental. Vegetarian meals may not be of as high a 

standard as non vegetarian. Special diets such as low fat, sugar free etc., 

cannot be catered for. 

BEHAVIOUR 

When you book with us you accept responsibility for any damage or loss 

caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such 

damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner 

or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for 

meeting any claims subsequently made against us, (together with our own 

and the other party’s full legal costs), as a result of your actions. In the event 

of any client behaving in such a way as is likely, (in our reasonable opinion or 

the reasonable opinion of any person in authority), to cause offence, danger, 

damage, discomfort or distress to others we reserve the right to terminate 

that person’s holiday arrangements. In this situation we will not be liable to 

complete your holiday arrangements, (including return travel arrangements), 

and will not pay you, nor be liable for any refund, compensation or any other 

costs you have to pay. We cannot accept responsibility for the behaviour of 

others in your accommodation or if facilities are removed as a result of their 

action. Please note: It is possible that clients travelling with other companies 

and of other Nationalities will be accommodated in the same hotels, complexes 

or campsites etc. as yourself. It is impossible for us to influence their behaviour 

or the behaviour of our clients in any way and we cannot accept responsibility 

for any problems caused by noise etc. 

OVERNIGHT STOPOVERS AND OFFICIAL HOTEL CATEGORIES - 

Accommodation used for overnight stopovers will be in comfortable family 

run hotels or modern purpose built hotels. They all offer good standards of 

quality and comfort. Frequently there is no official “Tourist Board” 

categorisation available. All accommodation categories referred to in this 

brochure are those as confirmed by the accommodation suppliers as at 01 

March 2009. Please note: These may change. Hotel grading and classification 

systems vary so widely throughout the world that they do not represent a 


Terms & Conditions of Booking 

consistent method of comparing accommodation standards from one country 

to another or occasionally even within the same country. We therefore advise 

you to treat them purely as a guide. 

DELAY - If you take our City Cruiser Holiday Insurance you will either receive 

compensation for any departure delay over 12 hours or you may cancel your 

holiday after 12 hours delay and obtain a full refund of your holiday costs 

(less any excess and the Insurance Premium paid). Please note: the 

Insurance does not cover delay caused by mechanical breakdown of coaches 

and is not applicable to UK holidays. Refer to separate cover note for details 

of excess and Insurance conditions. 

Delays relating to trips involving CONCERTS & SHOWS, City Cruiser Holidays 

cannot accept responsibility for any delays in arrival or failure to arrive at any 

venue due to bad weather, industrial action or circumstances beyond our 

control. Neither can we be held responsible for the non-appearance or failure 

to appear of any artist(es) or the cancellation of any concert for whatever 

reason - See Concert Cancellation & Personal Travel Insurance Cover 

(paragraph 5). 

PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD - Where City Cruiser Holidays are booked at 

any branch of Harry Shaw Travel or directly with our reservation handling 

office a charge of 2.5% will apply where Mastercard and Visa cards are used. 

Charge cards such as American Express and Diners Club are not accepted. 

There is no charge for use of Switch/Delta or other debit cards. 

ABTA & ATOL BONDING - City Cruiser Holidays Limited has lodged a bond 

with ABTA which provides financial security for all monies paid in respect of 

holidays utilising coach and ferry services. 

Our ABTA registration number is V1801. By law Tour Operators of holidays 

involving flights require an ATOL (Air Tour Operators Licence). A bond has 

been lodged with the Civil Aviation Authority to provide financial security for 

all monies paid in respect of holidays by air. Our ATOL number is 4682.

Coach Seat Numbers 

The coach seat number reserved for you is shown on your tickets. However, very 

occasionally circumstances arise, e.g. last minute substitution of a coach of different seating 

configuration, where you may be required to move to a different seat. We therefore reserve 

the right to amend your seat numbers at any time. 

Room Allocation 

Every effort will be made to provide precisely the kind of room you have booked, and we will 

endeavour to convey special requests to Hoteliers. However, we accept no liability for any 

failure to provide a special request which is not specified in the brochure and for which no 

supplement payment is made. Our liability for the provision of additional facilities for which a 

supplement is paid shall be limited to the brochure price of that supplement. Booking for 

rooms with private facilities will be deemed to be effected by the provision of either bath and 

w.c. or shower and w.c. Requests for one or the other will be treated as requests only. When 

booking a double room requests for a twin or double bed should be made clearly, otherwise it 

will be assumed that either type is acceptable. 

On continental holidays three bedded rooms are normally twin rooms plus an extra bed which 

may or may not be suitable for an adult and space will inevitably be restricted. 

The reference to “Hotel” in brochures covers all accommodation and does not necessarily 

distinguish between local classifications such as “Apartotel”, “Hostal”, “Pension”, “Taverna”, 

Residencia”, “Gasthof”, “Garni”, “Motel”, etc. Some of the hotels etc. we use have annexes 

which are nearby for sleeping, with main meals being taken in the main hotel. It is possible 

that you will be sharing your hotel with a group from another country and consequently 

facilities can vary according to mix and age of various nationalities. Single rooms are always 

scarce in hotels so book early. You may find these rooms are not quite as good as twin or 

double rooms in terms of size, location and general standard. You pay a supplement for 

privacy rather than for the facilities. Three or four bedded rooms usually mean a twin bedded 

room with extra folding beds so you need to be prepared for having less space. 

Vegetarianism is not as popular on the continent as in the UK and meals provided may not be 

of the same standard as non vegetarian dishes with more limited variety and choice. 

The accommodation provided is only for the use of passengers shown on the holiday invoice 

as confirmed by us: subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited. 

Passports and Visas 

It is your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport or any visa which may be 

necessary - be certain to apply in plenty of time as City Cruiser Holidays cannot accept 

responsibility if you are refused entry into any country. A full 10 year British Passport will be 

needed for all overseas travel. In addition the passport must be valid for at least 6 months 

beyond the return day to travel on some tours including Croatia; Poland; Russia; Slovenia; 

Prague & Vienna and Budapest Tours. In addition further visas may be required if you do not 

hold a British passport issued in the UK. Please check passport and Visa regulations with the 

consulates of all countries you will be visiting or passing through. Children including babies 

who are not already included on a valid 10 year passport will need to hold their own passport 

if they are to travel abroad. It is not now possible to add or include children on British 

passports. Children who are already included on an existing passport may continue to travel 

with the passport holder until either the child reaches the age of 16 or the passport on which 

the child is included expires or needs to be amended. 

Special Requests 

We cannot accept any reservation which is made conditional upon a special request being 

satisfied and such requests do not form part of the contract between us. Special requests 

cannot be guaranteed. 

Included Excursion Programmes 

No entrance fees are included in trips and we reserve the right to substitute any advertised 

excursion with a similar alternative if operational reasons should ever make this necessary. 

Health 

Always check with your Doctor as to which inoculations are advisable or necessary well 

before you travel. You should always refer to the DOH Leaflet T5 (Travellers Guide for 

Health) available from your local DOH Office. This does not however replace the need for 

holiday insurance. It is advisable to take with you a DOH E111 Form when travelling abroad. 

For Your Protection 

All the tours in this brochure are operated by City Cruiser Holidays Limited. As members of 

ABTA we have deposited a substantial bond, meaning that come what may, our clients 

holidays and the money they have paid to us is safeguarded at all times. Our ABTA 

registration number is V1801. By law tour operators of holidays involving flights require an 

ATOL (Air Tours Operators Licence). 

A bond has been lodged with the Civil Aviation Authority to provide financial security for all 

monies paid in respect of holidays by air. Our ATOL number is 4682. 

Delay 

If you take our recommended Holiday Insurance with Chase Parkinson Insurance Company 

you will either receive compensation for any delay to departure over 12 hours, or you may 

cancel your holiday after 12 hours delay and obtain a full refund of your holiday costs (less 

any excess and the insurance premium paid). Please note the insurance does not cover 

delay caused by mechanical breakdown of coaches. See below for full details of insurance 

and also refer to separate cover note for details of excess and insurance conditions.
