Tailor-made 2022-23

TAILOR-MADE 2022-2023

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

already planning our next holiday with A&K 

Mrs C, 2019

“Adventure by day, luxury by night” 

Dear traveller, 

I’m pleased to say that 2022 marks Abercrombie & Kent’s diamond anniversary. 

Although the world has changed much since I founded the company 60 years ago, 

there is one thing that has stayed the same: a pioneering spirit remains at the heart 

of what we do. 

For our clients, we continue to find fresh ways to combine adventure and luxury. 

This year, notable additions to our portfolio include a flurry of new Ultra Luxury 

experiences – designed to elevate your holiday to another level – as well as holidays 

to the fascinating, lesser-visited kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

As ever, all the ideas within this brochure are intended first and foremost as inspiration, 

because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to travel. This is a lesson I learnt from 

my very first clients in 1962, a discerning Texan couple keen to experience the ultimate 

African safari, and tailor-made travel has remained our passion ever since. 

Today, A&K is a global travel company with 55 offices worldwide, offering a level of 

service and access with which no other operator can compete. Whether you wish to 

dine like a sultan at the Pyramids of Giza, sip saké in Kyoto’s age-old breweries, or gain 

an eagle’s-eye view of the Masai Mara, we promise your journey will be unforgettable. 

So, as you flick through these pages, I implore you to let your imagination run wild. 

When you’re ready for us to start building your dream itinerary, or should you need 

a little more inspiration, our travel specialists are here to help – as they have been 

for 60 proud years. 

With best regards, 

Geoffrey Kent

How to tailor-make 

with A&K 

From dreaming to booking, planning a holiday is a journey, an adventure dictated by your 

wants and needs. Look on this brochure as a mood board, a place for inspiration whether 

you know exactly where you’d like to go or even if all you know is that you just want to go 

somewhere. The destinations, hotels and experiences featured in the following pages are the 

tip of the iceberg – a selection of the places we take our clients and a glimpse of the plethora 

of experiences awaiting travellers in each location. 

Each holiday we design is bespoke, a one-of-a-kind, so for each country featured, you’ll see 

a snapshot of several component parts of a holiday (hotel and attractions) and a proposed 

way to combine these elements but, of course, there are myriad ways to piece a holiday 

together. That’s where our travel specialists come in. Read on to start your journey. 

N OT TO B E M I S S E D 

Paris and the Eiffel Tower. Siem Reap and 

Angkor Wat. Cairo and the Giza Plateau. 

From bucket-list landmarks to lesser-known 

must-sees, this section spotlights the unmissable: 

each country’s quintessential sites and sights. 

O U R FAVO U R I T E 

 

P L AC E S TO S TAY 

A&K inspects hundreds of luxury properties 

around the world, allowing us to incorporate only 

the very best into your journey. From five-star 

stunners to remote wilderness camps, we personally 

ensure that every hotel reflects the authentic 

character of your destination while meeting our 

uncompromising standards of comfort and service. 

S U G G E S T E D I T I N E R A R I E S 

& T R AV E L E D I T S 

As you browse this brochure, you’ll notice some 

destinations feature full-length suggested itineraries, 

while others include Travel Edits – these are our 

mini-itineraries, offering you a taster of a destination. 

Each has a theme attached, from arts and culture to 

wildlife, making it easy to decide if an Edit is right 

for you. They can be enjoyed on their own, combined 

to form longer journeys, or added as extensions to 

our full-length itineraries. With Travel Edits, 

you’re the editor. 

E X A M P L E E X P E R I E N C E S 

Without knowing what activities are available, 

trying to settle on a destination is tough. That’s why, 

in each country, we’ve shined a light on a handful of 

experiences to which A&K can access. Choose from 

hands-on workshops to out-of-hours tours; from 

fast-paced action to cultural immersion – there’s 

something for everyone.

Ultra Luxury 

A&K’s Ultra Luxury service is above and beyond what most travel companies can offer. 

Using our little black book of contacts and decades of experience, we craft the ultimate itinerary 

tailored to you. Expect behind-the-scenes experiences, the most exclusive accommodation, 

VIP treatment as standard, chartered transport with all the luxuries, and a front-row seat 

at one-off events. This is unparalleled travel – with the A&K factor. 

PLACES TO STAY 

Where you stay on holiday can shape your entire experience of a 

destination. We only recommend the most exceptional lodgings in the 

most extraordinary places. Your accommodation should be a sanctuary 

in which to retreat, unwind and recuperate – ahead of a new day of 

thrilling activities and adventurous excursions. To help pair you 

with your dream holiday home-from-home, we’ve created a portfolio 

of properties representing the height of luxury and exclusivity. 

Our ultra-luxe range features luxurious private homes that can be 

yours for a time; city apartments brimming with history; 

lavish resort retreats; and ideally situated, utterly original hotels. 

INSPIRING EXPEDITIONS 

BY GEOFFREY KENT 

Journeys of unrivalled exclusivity personally designed and 

accompanied by A&K’s founder, Geoffrey Kent. Travelling by 

private jet, explore far-flung, off-the-beaten-path destinations 

with the company of a travel pioneer. Inspiring Expeditions feature 

insider access to fascinating people and places, the finest 

local experts, as well as stays in superlative accommodation – 

such as an art-filled home on a private island or a spacious yurt 

on the Mongolian steppe – hand-picked to immerse you 

in the local culture. 

PRIVATE JET 

Enjoy flying as it is meant to be – not merely 

as a means of travelling from A to B, but 

as an essential part of what makes your 

escape luxurious. When you travel with us 

by chartered jet, you gain access to exotic 

destinations out of reach for most major 

airlines. As a result, our private jet itineraries 

are full of awe-inspiring visits to the world’s 

most remote corners. Enjoy personalised 

onboard service, avoid long queues for 

customs, and travel according to a schedule 

designed to elevate your experience – rather 

than one dictated by an airline’s convenience. 

PRIVATE YACHTS 

Explore the world safely and securely 

aboard A&K’s private yacht charters. These 

superyachts provide unprecedented access 

to remote destinations. Enjoy traversing 

overlooked nooks and hard-to-navigate 

crannies during once-in-a-lifetime 

expeditions. The yachts themselves feature the 

best amenities and are staffed by exemplary 

crews providing another tier of service. 

Choose an A&K private yacht holiday 

and benefit from bespoke itineraries, the 

arrangement of exclusive permits, aviation 

services and a world-class crew. 

PRIVATE ISLANDS 

Should you wish to elevate your 

accommodation experience to a lofty level, 

consider a private-island rental. 

Take advantage of a location with no 

neighbours, no prying eyes and no limits. 

Private island hideaways mean that your 

celebrations and breaks are secluded and 

guarantee complete privacy. This is the height 

of luxury, where you determine the what, 

when and how. With options in the Maldives, 

Indonesia and South-east Asia, you can eat, 

sleep, relax at your own pace in complete 

control of your sanctum. 


OUR ULTRA-LUXURY ‘STORIES’ 

Collaborations between our ultra-luxury 

travel specialists and our discerning clients 

or those in our little black book of contacts, 

our ‘Stories’ are tales of adventures previously 

curated by A&K and enjoyed by guests. 

A source of inspiration, these stories could 

be retold just for you, edited or entirely 

rewritten to suit your narrative. 

SACRED SPACES: ROME & THE VATICAN

SAFARI 

Geoffrey Kent invented the modern safari, and A&K’s awardwinning

Safari: “Africa never fails. One day on safari is the great adventure 

that will change the rest of an individual’s life”. Experience this 

transformation with the tour operator named the best in the world 

ten years in a row at the World Travel Awards. 

VILLAS 

A&K’s portfolio of European villas has been carefully curated by our 

villa specialists and features properties of every size – from romantic 

boltholes for two to impressive chateaux for multi-generational 

celebrations. Stay in a beautiful home-from-home anywhere from 

the Amalfi Coast to Corfu, and enjoy the five-star service provided 

by our in-destination teams. 

BEACH 

Sea, sand, and sun: it’s the perfect formula for relaxation. Of course, 

we ensure some luxurious extras. Our beach holidays to the Indian

coconut kick from the sea. For somewhere closer to home, choose

difference. Each of our Luxury Small Group Journeys comprises a 

maximum of 18 guests, led by a resident tour director, and subject 

to our enhanced health and safety protocols. They showcase A&K’s 

unrivalled local access in destinations that call to the curious, with 

an authenticity that no other company can match. 

LUXURY YACHTS 

A luxury yacht holiday with A&K promises freedom, privacy and 

luxury on the open ocean. Moor up in exclusive marinas. Hop 

between charming harbour towns. Explore hidden coves, dive spots 

and archipelagos – all at your own pace. With A&K, your chartered 

yacht is crewed by experienced staff, who will unobtrusively guide 

you, tailoring excursions and experiences as you sail. 


FAMILY 

You never forget the landmark moments in your child’s life. From 

your baby dipping a toe in the blue sea or your toddler glimpsing 

the white clouds from the window of a plane to your teenager 

catching a wave, you’ll treasure these firsts forever. Begin their 

journey of discovery with A&K luxury family holidays. 

HONEYMOONS 

What constitutes the perfect honeymoon is as individual and as 

subjective as choosing a dress or deciding who makes the guest list. 

Whatever you, as a couple, want from your super-personal, one-ina-lifetime 

trip, the ideal is achievable. All you need to do is decide 

what and where is right for you, as together, you celebrate this new 

phase of your relationship. 

WILDLIFE 

Our luxury wildlife holidays whisk you away to some of the most 

dramatic landscapes on Earth, where you’ll see nature at its most 

captivating. From tigers in Ranthambore and leopards in Yala to 

bears in British Columbia and orangutans in Borneo, explore the 

splendour and surprises of the planet’s life with A&K experts and 

guides by your side. 

MULTI-CENTRE 

Life’s too short to settle for anything else than the perfect itinerary. 

If you can’t make up your mind or are seduced by the thought of 

an array of destinations, opt for a multi-centre holiday with A&K. 

A combination of countries can allow you to see the world in 

new, extraordinary ways. No amalgam is too complex; allow your 

imagination to take flight. 

RAIL HOLIDAYS 

There’s an old-fashioned, evocative romance that comes with 

travelling by train. Our tailor-made rail holidays allow you to 

experience life on-board a luxurious rail carriage, with plenty of 

fascinating stops along the way. Enjoying all the comforts of an 

elegant hotel on rails, you’ll have some of the world’s most stunning 

scenery in full view from your cabin window. 

FOOD & DRINK 

It’s often said that to discover a place truly, you should first taste 

its food. The cuisine of a country tells you much about its history, 

culture, and people, and we’re big believers in sampling the local 

delicacies of every place we visit. From private wine tours of 

California’s best vineyards to noodle-making cookery classes in 

Osaka, we can design a unique culinary holiday to suit your tastes. 


Africa 

Culture, wildlife, and wide-open spaces: Africa has it all. Our tailor-made safaris allow you 

to follow the Great Migration, experience the Namib desert, and cross the continent’s greatest 

national parks. Track gorilla and chimpanzee through dense forest, and explore 

the wilds of the Okavango Delta. Lend a hand to conservation projects, hit cosmopolitan 

Cape Town, or kick back on white-sand beaches in Zanzibar. A&K is a child of Kenya, 

and we want you to love Africa as much as we do 

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

professional, prompt treatment when booking. I think what distinguishes 

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

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

South-East Asia 

& the Far East 

A lifetime’s worth of new experiences awaits in South-East Asia and the Far East. Cruise the 

Mekong or Yangtze to discover life along the river. Explore ancient history in Xian and Beijing. 

Dive into Japan’s pop-culture capital, lounge on a private beach in Thailand, lose yourself 

amid Cambodia’s temples, or find tranquillity in Laos. These regions offer a thrill-ride 

for foodies and culture vultures, wherever you go 

“Japan has been on our bucket list for many a decade and it was very much 

worth the wait.I could not believe the organisation. I know the ‘devil is in 

the detail’ - but not a single detail was left to chance. The variety of places, 

hotels, activities was perfect. Most importantly for us were the guides. 

I’m not sure how you choose them, but each and every lady was a gem. 

We knew our trip would be special, but it far exceeded every expectation we 

had. Thank you, A&K, once again for a marvellous trip.”

SACRED SPACES: 

ROME & THE VATICAN 

GRAND HOTEL TREMEZZO 

Rome has both history and legend etched 

in every splendid ruin, cavalcade of stone 

angels and quadriga of sculpted horses. 

Within its perimeters lies the Vatican: a 

sovereign state and headquarters of the 

Catholic Church. A tailor-made sojourn 

combining these two ‘Eternal Cities’ is 

both a spiritual and cultural pilgrimage – 

as we can show you first-hand. 

From your base at the lavish Holy Deer 

San Lorenzo City Lodge, your pilgrimage 

could begin with a private guided tour of 

Rome. Traverse the storied passageways 

of the Colosseum, ascend the Palatine 

Hill, and finish with classic Italian fare at 

the Michelin-starred AROMA restaurant. 

Then it’s onto the Vatican City, where 

you enjoy special access to the Pontiff ’s 

gardens, labyrinthine corridors, 

galleries brimming with period 

masterpieces and – of course – the 

spectacular Sistine Chapel. Your special 

access extends to a private visit of 

The Cabinet of Masks – often unavailable, 

even on exclusive tours. This room 

houses ancient mosaics transported 

from Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli, as well as 

a collection of masterful sculptures. 

More soul-stirring experiences await. 

As guests of the Pope, worship in 

St Peter’s Basilica from a special area 

adjacent to the pulpit; visit the vast 

Apostolic Palace, His Holiness’s official 

residence; and explore many more of the 

Vatican’s sacred spaces. 

Whether it’s by the extraordinary 

artworks and architecture, or by 

something altogether more holy, 

you depart Rome divinely inspired.

1. BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY 

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

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

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

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

In order to maintain our customer services standards and to 

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

monitor our telephone conversations or emails with you. 

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

of 15% of the total booking cost – or such other amount as 

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

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

Payment can be made by cheque or by most major credit cards 

in favour of Abercrombie & Kent Limited. If for any reason 

we do not accept your booking your deposit will be returned. 

Some suppliers and holidays over peak seasons may require 

higher deposits at the time of booking. You will be notified of 

these requirements before you pay your deposit. 

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

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

confirm the number of members in your party and to provide 

us with the first forename (as shown in each passport) as well 

as the title and surname of each member. 

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

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

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

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

request on to the hotel or airline but cannot guarantee that 

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

requests to airlines but we recommend that you check directly 

with the airline once your tickets have been issued. The 

Company will try to arrange for Special Requests to be met, 

but cannot guarantee that they will be, nor will the Company 

be liable if any Special Request is not met. The provision 

of any Special Request does not constitute a term of your 

contract with us unless we have confirmed in writing that your 

requirement will be met. 

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

arrangements and issue a Confirmation Invoice. A contract 

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

Confirmation Invoice. If your confirmed arrangements include 

a flight, we (or if you booked via an authorised agent of ours, 

that agent) will also issue you with an ATOL Certificate. 

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

Confirmation Invoice, and ATOL Certificate where applicable, 

as soon as you get it, as these set out the services we have agreed 

to provide. In the event of any discrepancy please contact us 

(or if you booked via an authorised agent of ours, that agent) 

immediately. If you arrange your holiday direct with the 

Company all correspondence and other communications will be 

sent to the address of the person who made the initial payment 

unless you specify otherwise. If you request correspondence 

through a business address, a residential address will also be 

required for emergency and security reasons. 

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

Company will address all communications to that travel agent, 

who will act as agent for you in regard to all communications 

from us to you. All monies paid by you to a travel agent under 

or in contemplation of this contract will be held by the travel 

agent for the Company until such monies are forwarded to 

the Company. Any money paid to a travel agent in respect of a 

booking covered by the Company’s ATOL is held by that travel 

agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air 

Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation 

to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail financially. If we do 

fail financially, any money held at that time by the agent or 

subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues 

to be held by that agent on behalf of the Company and for 

the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any 

obligation to pay that money to the Company. 

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

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

by you in which case the cancellation charges set out in clause 2 

below will become payable. 

2. AMENDMENTS & CANCELLATION 

(a) Amendments by you 

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

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

Requests for an amendment must be in writing and signed 

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

to make the amendment, it will be subject to an amendment 

charge of £50 per booking, together with all communication 

charges or other expenses incurred by the Company as a 

result of the change. These charges will be payable whether 

or not the Company succeeds in confirming your requested 

amendment. Scheduled airlines normally regard name changes 

as a cancellation and rebooking, and any alteration may incur a 

100% cancellation charge in respect of the air fare. Please note 

that save for the transfer of a booking, it will not be possible 

to make changes within 28 days of your departure date. Your 

request may be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and 

the normal cancellation charges detailed in clause 2(c) below 

will apply dependent upon the conditions imposed by our 

suppliers. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not 

wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as 

a cancellation by you and the cancellation charges detailed in 

clause 2(c) will be payable by you. 

If you wish to change your arrangements while on your holiday, 

all costs are payable by you. 

Date amendments: Should you wish to amend the date of 

departure of your trip this will follow the rules outlined in part 

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

months of the original date of departure. If travel commences 

after six months of the original holiday departure date this will 

be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and the normal 

cancellation charges detailed in clause 2(c) will apply. If the 

amended date of departure increases the price of your trip, this 

increase will be payable by you. 

Destination amendments: Should you wish to change the 

destination (unless for reasons of extraordinary circumstances 

outlined below) of your confirmed holiday before departure 

this shall be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and the 

normal cancellation charges detailed in clause 2(c) will apply. 

(b) Transfer of booking 

If you or any member of your party is prevented from 

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

else, subject to the following conditions: 

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

conditions applicable to the holiday; 

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

c. you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment 

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

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

d. the transferee agrees to these Terms and Conditions and all 

other terms of the contract between us. 

You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for 

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

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

to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be 

given for passengers not travelling or for unused services. 

(c) Cancellation by you 

All cancellation requests must be in writing, by the person 

who made the initial payment. Cancellations are effective on 

the day they are received by the Company. Recorded delivery 

is strongly recommended. Since we incur costs in cancelling 

your travel arrangements, the following cancellation charges 

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

departure the Company receives your notice of cancellation. 

Written advice of cancellation received 

Days prior to departure 

% of total holiday cost 

60 days or more Loss of deposit 

46-59 days 30% of total holiday cost 




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

you have already paid to us. Amendment charges are not 

refundable in any circumstances. 

Important note: Certain arrangements may not be amended 

after they have been confirmed and any alteration or 

cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of 

that part of the arrangements in addition to the charge above. 

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

or for certain products, for example some game lodges and 

cruises, stricter cancellation conditions may apply. Any such 

revised conditions will be notified to you prior to booking. 

Partial room cancellation: Should one or more member of a 

party cancel or leave a journey, it may increase the per person 

price of those still travelling and you will be liable to pay 

this increase. 

We strongly recommend that you secure adequate travel 

insurance as per clause 6. 

Cancellation by you due to unavoidable and extraordinary 

circumstances: 

You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before 

departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event 

of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring 

at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and 

significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or 

significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the 

destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a 

full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable 

to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your 

right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where 

the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises 

against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity. For 

the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary 

circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant 

risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease 

at the travel destination, or natural disasters such as floods, 

earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to 

travel safely to the travel destination. 

(d) Cutting your trip short 

If you are forced to return home early, the Company cannot 

refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not 

used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early 

in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause 

for complaint about the standard of accommodation and 

services provided, the Company will not offer you any refund 

for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable 

for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the 

circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for 

curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly 

with them. 

(e) Re-booking following a cancellation 

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

this will be subject to the cancellation terms within these 

Terms and Conditions. If the alternative booking requires a 

greater deposit than has already been paid (after deducting 

cancellation fees) then the balance between what is required as 

a deposit and any sums already paid becomes due and payable 

by you. 

(f) Accuracy of information 

We check the information which we provide about our holidays 

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

may change as a result of local conditions. Circumstances 

such as these, or weather conditions, may cause some of the 

amenities we have described to be unavailable or different from 

those advertised. When we are told of any significant or longterm 

changes we will always endeavour to advise you as soon as 

possible prior to your departure. 

This clause 2 outlines the rights you have if you wish to 

cancel your booking. Please note that there is no automatic 

statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts 

(Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) 

Regulations 2013. 

(g) Amendments by the Company 

Great care is taken to ensure that the description and prices 

given in our brochures and on our website are accurate at 

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

the Company reserves the right to change any of the details 

in company literature, including prices, in which case the 

Company will advise you of any such change before accepting 

your booking. After a Confirmation Invoice has been issued, 

the Company makes every effort to operate all holidays as 

advertised. We plan arrangements a long time in advance of 

your holiday using independent suppliers such as airlines, 

hotels, local transport operators and guides, over whom 

we have no direct control. In very rare circumstances, the 

Company may have to modify a holiday before you depart. 

Most of these changes are minor. If we make a minor change 

to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you 

or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there 

is time before your departure but we will have no liability to 

you. Examples of “minor changes” include: alteration of your 

outward/return flights by less than 12 hours; changes to aircraft 

type; change of accommodation to another of the same or 

higher standard; and changes of carriers. 

We also deem certain Covid-19 related travel and destination 

requirements as minor changes in that we do not expect 

these changes to significantly affect the performance of the 

holiday or your overall holiday enjoyment. Such changes may 

include the requirement to wear face masks, make regular use 

of sanitising stations and maintain social distancing. Some 

changes may also affect the availability of certain services 

and facilities. We expect all guests to adhere to the local and 

national guidance that is in force at the destination and whilst 

travelling to and from the destination. Please see clause 16 for 

more information. 

Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to 

your confirmed arrangements. Examples of “significant 

changes” include the following, when made before departure: 

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

international airport (except between airports serving the same 

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

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


change we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time 

to do so before departure, we will provide you with three 

alternatives. You may accept the modification, you may change 

your booking to another available and comparable holiday, or 

you may cancel and receive a full and prompt refund. If you 

choose another holiday which is cheaper, the Company will 

make the appropriate refund. 

You must notify us of your choice within seven days of our 

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

contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you 

fail to respond again, we will assume that you have chosen to 

accept the change or alternative booking arrangements. If you 

cancel and receive a full refund following a significant change 

made for any reason other than force majeure or low bookings, 

you will receive the following compensation, calculated 

according to the number of days prior to departure that you are 

notified of the change. 

In addition to a full refund of all monies paid by you, we 

will pay you compensation as detailed below if you do not 

accept the alternative arrangements we offer you and cancel 

your booking or if we cancel your booking and no alternative 

arrangements are available The compensation that we offer 

does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled 

to do so. 

Compensation when notification of change is sent 

Days prior to departure 

More than 42 days £10 

29-41 days prior £20 



Compensation per person 

*IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not pay you compensation in 

the following circumstances: 

(a) where we make a minor change; 

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

arrangements more than 60 days before departure; 

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

changed arrangements or you accept an offer of alternative 

travel arrangements; 

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

your failure to make full payment on time; 

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

alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you; 

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

due to force majeure (see clause 15). 

‘Low bookings’ means that an insufficient number of people 

have booked the arrangements to make their operation 

financially viable in the advertised form. 

lf the Company becomes unable to provide a significant 

proportion of your holiday after it has commenced, every effort 

will be made to provide suitable alternative arrangements, 

which will be made for you at no extra charge to you (save in 

the case of force majeure) or, alternatively, you will be returned 

to your point of departure and the company will, where 

appropriate, pay compensation. No compensation is payable in 

the case of force majeure. 

(h) Cancellation by the Company 

We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your 

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

arrangements less than 60 days before your departure date, 

except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay 

the final balance. If you fail to pay the balance of the holiday 

price 60 days before departure or as a result of low bookings, 

the Company will treat your booking as cancelled and levy 

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

is obliged to cancel your holiday in any other circumstances 

before departure, the Company will use its best endeavours 

to offer alternative arrangements of equivalent or very closely 

similar standard and price, if available; travel arrangements of 

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

you a full and prompt refund of all monies paid. In addition, 

unless the cancellation has been caused by force majeure, 

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

Company will pay you compensation as set out in clause 2(g). 

(i) If you are due a refund, the Company will return the 

amounts due to the same bank account or credit card that was 

used when the original payment was made and in the same 

currency that the Company originally received the funds. 

3. PRICE POLICY 

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

holidays shown in our brochure or on our website and correct 

errors in the prices of confirmed holidays. You will be advised 

of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before 

your contract is confirmed. 

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

of the costs involved in a holiday. 

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

in the brochure or advertised price 

before accepting your booking and prices may go up or 

down. While we do our utmost to avoid such a scenario, 

due to human or computer error there may on occasion be 

an incorrect price shown in a brochure or online. When we 

become aware of any such error, we will endeavour to notify 

you at the time of booking (if we are then aware of the mistake) 

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

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

situation such as this which may include cancelling a holiday 

if the actual price applicable to the holiday is not acceptable to 

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

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

(d) We also reserve the right to increase the price of confirmed 

holidays solely to allow for increases which are a direct 

consequence of changes in: 

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

of fuel or other power sources; 

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

the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in 

the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing 

taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and 

airports; and 

c. the exchange rates relevant to the package. 

Such variations could include but are not limited to airline cost 

changes which are part of our contracts with airlines (and their 

agents), cruise ship operators, and any other transport providers. 

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

increase equivalent to two per cent of the price of your 

travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums 

and any amendment charges and/or additional services or 

travel arrangements. You will be charged for the amount 

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

to pay an increase of more than eight per cent of the price of 

your confirmed holiday (excluding any insurance premiums, 

amendment charges and/or additional services or travel 

arrangements), you will have the option of accepting a change 

to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of 

equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more 

but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference 

in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all 

monies paid to us, except for any insurance premiums and 

any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel 

arrangements. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, 

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

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

an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can 

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

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

changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to 

you less an administrative fee of £10. However, please note that 

travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency 

and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of 

your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. 

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

confirmed holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will 

refunds be paid during this period. 

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPANY 

(a) The Company applies all reasonable checks to ensure that 

those involved in the preparation and provision of your holiday 

maintain the appropriate standards. 

(b) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we 

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

Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 

2018, as set out below, and as such, we are responsible for the 

proper provision of the travel services specifically included in 

your package, as set out in your Confirmation Itinerary and 

Final Itinerary. The descriptions, information and opinions 

given in our brochures or on the website by the Company in 

respect of the airlines, hotels and other suppliers whose services 

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

available at the time of printing. Please note that we shall not 

be responsible for any additional services provided to you, 

whether provided by the travel service providers or otherwise, 

which are not set out in your Confirmation Invoice. 

(c) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any 

personal injury or death unless you are able to provide that it was 

caused by our negligence or the negligence of our suppliers. 

(d) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any 

injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense cost or other claim 

of any description if it results from: 

a. the acts and/or omissions of the person affected; or 

b. the acts and/or omissions of a third party unconnected with 

the provision of the services contracted for and which were 

unforeseeable or unavoidable; or 

c. force majeure (See clause 15) 

(e) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay 

you if we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any 

luggage or personal possessions and money. The maximum 

amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is 

an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy 

which applies to this type of loss per person in total because 

you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover 

any losses of this kind. The maximum amount we will have to 

pay for any other claims which don’t involve injury, illness or 

death is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the 

person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only 

be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your 

party has not received any benefit at all from your booking. 

(f) The extent of the Company’s liability will in all cases be 

limited as if the Company were carriers under the appropriate 

conventions when it comes to claims in respect of international 

travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel. International 

Conventions which apply include: in respect of carriage by air, 

the Montreal Convention 1999 or the Warsaw Convention 1929 

(including as amended by The Hague Protocol of 1955 and by 

any of the Montreal Additional Protocol of 1975); in respect of 

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

carriage, the Berne/Cotif Convention 1961; and in respect of 

carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973. The terms of 

these conventions are incorporated into and form part of your 

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

liability of an air carrier under the Montreal Convention and 

the Warsaw Convention is limited to damage sustained caused 

by an accident which takes place onboard the aircraft or in the 

course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking. 

You can get copies of the relevant conventions if you ask us for 

them. You should also note that these conventions may limit or 

remove the carrier’s liability to you and the amount which the 

carrier has to pay you. You agree that the operating carrier or 

transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to 

you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, 

we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these 

international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage’. 

You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained 

in those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ form part of your contract 

with us, as well as with the transport company and that those 

‘Conditions of Carriage’ shall be deemed to be included by 

reference into this contract. 

(g) In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by 

virtue of EC 261/2004 (denied boarding and flight disruption), 

any liability we may have to you under our contract with 

you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies 

provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we 

were a carrier. 

(h) When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any 

money which you have received or are entitled to receive from 

the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim 

in question. 

(i) Subject to these Terms and Conditions, if we or our 

suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services set out 

in the Confirmation invoice and we don’t remedy or resolve 

your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this 

has affected the enjoyment of your package holiday you may 

be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation 

or both. You must inform us without undue delay of any 

failure to perform or improper performance of the travel 

services included in this package. The level of any such price 

reduction or compensation in respect of any claim for damages 

or compensation whatsoever will be calculated taking into 

consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: 

following the complaints procedure as described in these Terms 

and Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ 

or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your 

holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that 

we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make 

a claim against us 

(j) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this 

clause that you notify any claim to us and our supplier(s) 

strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in 

these conditions. 

(k) Our suppliers (such as accommodation or transport 

providers) have their own Terms and Conditions or conditions 

of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and 

the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the 

relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability to you. 

You can get copies of such conditions from our offices, or the 

offices of the relevant supplier. 

(l) If we make any payment, the person(s) receiving it (and 

their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to 

us or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third 

party and must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery 

of any payment we make and any other assistance we may 

reasonably require.. 

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

airports resulting in delays, diversions, or rescheduling. The 

Company has no control over such decisions, and is therefore 

unable to accept responsibility for them. Where, as a result of 

force majeure, we are obliged to change or end your holiday 

after departure, but before the end of your holiday, we will not 

pay compensation or reimburse you for expenses incurred. We 

strongly recommend you have adequate travel insurance for 

your holiday and should claim via your insurance company for 

any loss or damage to luggage and/or personal possessions. In 

the event that any claim is made directly with us, our liability 

to pay compensation and/or the amount of compensation will 

be limited in accordance with the conventions referred to in 

(c) above. 

(n) Please note, the Company does not accept any liability for 

any damage, loss or expense or other sum of any description 

which on the basis of the information given to us by you 

concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could 

not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached 

our contract with you, if it relates to any business or if it is an 

indirect or consequential loss of any kind. 

(o) Where it is impossible for you to return to your departure 

point as per the agreed return date of your package, due to 

“unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, we shall 

provide you with any necessary accommodation (where 

possible, of a comparable standard) for a period not exceeding 

three nights per person. If the circumstances continue beyond 


a three-night period, our responsibility under this clause will 

cease and you will need to claim upon your travel insurance 

where you are able to do so. Please note that the three-night 

cap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant 

women, or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing 

specific medical assistance, provided we have been notified 

of these particular needs at least 48 hours before the start of 

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

extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of terrorism, 

significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of 

serious disease at the travel destination, or natural disasters 

such as floods, earthquakes, or weather conditions which make 

it impossible to travel safely back to your departure point. 

(p) Please be aware that the Company accepts no responsibility 

or liability for any destination that imposes access restrictions 

or otherwise hinders peaceful enjoyment of destination 

services and facilities based upon race, gender or sexual 

preference. The Company will provide general information 

in line with its obligations, however, you accept that it is your 

responsibility to thoroughly research your intended destination 

to ensure that it satisfactorily meets your holiday needs and 

requirements 

5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES 

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

please consult the travel advice produced by the government 

of your home jurisdiction, the government who issued the 

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

government of your destination. 

Also ensure you make yourself familiar with the Foreign, 

Commonwealth and Development Office advice on staying safe 

and healthy on your trip: www.gov.uk/travelaware. Advice can 

change, so always check regularly for the latest updates. 

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

particular country, we will act on this advice. 

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

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

should the traveller still choose to travel, notwithstanding such 

travel advisory or warning, the traveller assumes all risks of 

loss, personal injury, death, or property damage from any event 

that may arise out of or associated with the travel advice or 

warnings given. 

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

Confirmation Itinerary when you receive it. In the event of 

any discrepancy, you should contact the Company or your 

travel agent. 

(e) General information concerning passport, visa, and health 

requirements applicable to UK Citizens is set out in our 

literature. However, such requirements are subject to change 

and you must check current requirements before departure. 

Passports for British Citizens are valid for travel to any EU 

country up to and including the passport expiry date. Many 

countries outside of the EU require that passengers’ passports are 

valid for at least six months after the completion of their journey, 

and/or contains blank pages (for visas). Please visit gov.uk/ 

foreign-travel-advice for advice by country. Some destinations 

also require visas and additional documentation and you 

should contact the Embassy or Consulate of the country which 

you are planning to visit in good time before you travel, go to 

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

your medical advisor or a specialist vaccination centre for details 

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

children should travel on full passports. It is your responsibility 

to obtain all documents required for your holiday, including 

passports, visas, health certificates, and international driving 

licences, to ensure that these are in proper order, and to take 

them with you. We recommend that if you are travelling with 

a child (particularly one that does not share your surname or 

if travelling without one or both parents), you check the entry 

requirements for your destination. Certain countries have 

introduced additional requirements, such as documentation that 

proves your relationship to the child as well as documentation 

that proves you have permission to travel with them. The 

Company cannot be held responsible should you or any member 

of your travelling party be denied entry to a country and the 

Company does not accept any responsibility if you incur any 

other loss due to non-compliance with these requirements. 

Please consult the travel advice produced by the government of 

your home jurisdiction, the government who issued the passport 

and/or visa you intend to travel under, and the government of 

your destination for further details. We will not be liable to make 

any refund or pay compensation if you or any member of your 

party is unable to proceed with the holiday as planned because 

of incorrect or missing personal documents, or any other failure 

to meet passport, visa, or immigration requirements. You agree 

to reimburse the Company in relation to any fines or other losses 

which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any 

passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. 

(f) Approximately seven days before departure you will receive 

your air tickets together with other information concerning 

your holiday. Please ensure that you check the names and flight 

timings on your tickets carefully and contact us immediately if 

you have any queries. The correct timings, using the 24-hour 

clock system, may have been adjusted since you received your 

Confirmation Invoice. 

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

time and for presenting yourself to take up all pre-booked 

components of your holiday. The Company cannot accept 

responsibility for any delay which is due to force majeure or for 

clients missing flights as a result of late check-ins and no credit 

or refunds will be given if you fail to take up any component 

of your holiday. No credit or refunds will be given for lost, 

mislaid, or destroyed travel documents. 

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

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

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

your behaviour is causing danger or damage to property, or 

persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the 

right to terminate your holiday immediately. In the event of 

such termination our liability to you and/or your party will 

cease and you and/or your party will be required to leave your 

accommodation or other arrangements immediately. 

We will have no further obligations to you and/or your party. 

No refunds for lost accommodation or any other arrangements 

will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs 

incurred as a result of termination. You and/or your party 

may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by 

your actions and we will hold you and each member of your 

party jointly and individually liable for any damage or losses 

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

any such damage or losses must be paid directly to the hotel 

manager or other supplier prior to departure. If you fail to 

make payment, you will be responsible for meeting any claims 

(including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result 

of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any 

claim against you. The Company cannot be held responsible 

for the actions or behaviour of other guests or individuals who 

have no connection with your booking arrangements or with 

the Company. 

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

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

insurance claim upon your return. 

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

accommodation and/or any extra charges incurred with our 

suppliers during your holiday. Should you fail to make such 

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

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

Company to automatically debit your credit card to the value 

instructed by the supplier for any such costs and/or charges. 

6. INSURANCE 

We cannot emphasise enough the importance of purchasing 

comprehensive travel insurance prior to date of travel. This 

insurance should be commensurate to the value of your 

booking, and cover cancellation and curtailment, all medical 

expenses including evacuation/repatriation, personal baggage, 

personal liability, death and permanent disability, and travel 

document insurance. If you suffer from a disability or medical 

condition you should disclose this to insurers. For those who 

participate in sports and activities while on holiday that have 

been organised and arranged independently of us, it should be 

understood that participation is at the individual’s own risk and 

it is your responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance. Note 

that special insurance may be required if you intend to scuba 

dive or undertake any other dangerous or sports activities. 

Please keep your insurance details with you while on holiday. 

7. AIRLINES & OTHER SUPPLIERS 

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

accommodation, and other components making up your 

holiday, the conditions of the supplier will apply. These 

conditions may be subject to international Conventions which 

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

on request – please allow 28 days). Under EU law you have 

rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation 

from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation, or 

delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised 

at EU airports and will also be available from your airline. 

Reimbursement in these cases is the responsibility of the airline 

and will not automatically entitle you to refund of your holiday 

cost from the Company. Your rights to compensation from 

the Company are set out in clause 2(g). If your airline does not 

acknowledge your rights, you should complain to the Civil 

Aviation Authority at caa.co.uk. 

(b) Transport timings are provided by the carrier concerned 

and are subject to such matters as weather conditions, 

maintenance requirements, the ability of passengers to checkin 

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

restrictions. Accordingly, the times of flights and other forms of 

transport are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. 

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

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

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

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

you arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure as 

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

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

your responsibility to ensure that you are checked in within 

the appropriate time. The Company is not responsible or 

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

airline overbooking the class in which you are booked. Seat 

reservations are at the discretion of the airline and may be 

changed at any time without notice. 

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

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

this information is important to you. 

(e) Please note the existence of a “UK Air Safety list” (available 

for inspection at https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/ 

Airlines/Licensing/Requirements-and-guidance/Third- 

Country-Operator-Certificates/ detailing air carriers that are 

subject to an operating ban within the UK. 

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

participating in such activities you may be asked to sign an 

additional form by the local supplier. In rare cases beginners 

may have to take lessons at a charge before being permitted to 

use hotel equipment otherwise offered for free. 

8. EXCURSIONS 

Please note that when you book an excursion locally you 

contract with the local company providing that excursion 

and not the Company. The Company has no legal liability 

for anything that goes wrong on such an excursion and any 

claim which you might have arising out of the excursion will 

be against the relevant local company and subject to the local 

company’s terms and conditions. The Company will, at its 

discretion, offer advice, guidance, and assistance if you or any 

member of your party suffer death, illness, or injury arising out 

of an activity which does not form part of your holiday with 

the Company, or an excursion arranged locally. Where legal 

action is contemplated and you want the Company’s assistance, 

you must obtain the Company’s written consent prior to 

commencement of proceedings. The Company’s consent will be 

given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs, or benefits 

received, and any relevant insurance policy to the Company. 

We limit the cost of the Company’s assistance to you or any 

member of your party to £5,000. 

9. ILLNESS AND DISABILITY 

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

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

Company is happy to give you advice and to try to assist you in 

choosing a holiday that will meet your requirements. However, 

most of our holidays are in destinations which are off the beaten 

track and lack even the simplest facilities for disabled guests such 

as ramps for wheelchairs, lifts, and so on. Many of our holidays 

require a fair degree of physical fitness. Medical facilities may not 

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

prior to booking with full written details regarding your medical 

condition and any special requirements which result from this. 

An appropriate medical form will be sent to you for this purpose. 

Air travel can cause problems for some people with circulatory 

or bronchial problems, such as deep vein thrombosis. It is 

inadvisable for anyone with high blood pressure or respiratory 

problems to visit high altitudes. You should consult your doctor 

for advice before you book and in good time before your 

departure. We cannot accept any liability if we are not told about 

any mobility/medical issues before travel. You must advise us 

of any changes to your level of mobility or medical condition 

which may affect your holiday between the point of booking and 

when you travel. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly 

accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not 

confirm your booking. 

10. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM 

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

arrangements while you are on holiday, you must address your 

complaint immediately to the Company’s local representative 

(or, if none, to the Company by contacting the Duty Manager 

on +44 20 7998 4141) and to the management of the hotel 

or other supplier whose services are involved. They will do 

their best to rectify the situation. It is unreasonable to take no 

action while on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint 

upon return. If the problem cannot be resolved locally and you 

wish to complain, full details must be sent to the Company in 

writing to arrive ideally within 30 days of your return. We will 

do our best to investigate and reply to you within 28 days of 

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

deny the Company the opportunity to resolve the problem 

immediately and/or investigate it properly. In consequence, this 

may affect your rights under this contract. 

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

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

Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme, available through abta.com 

which, though devised by arrangement with the Association 

of British Travel Agents, is administered quite independently 

by Hunt ADR. The scheme (details of which will be supplied 

on request) provides for a simple and inexpensive method of 

arbitration on documents alone, with restricted liability on 

holidaymakers in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply 

to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person or 

£25,000 per party, neither does it apply to claims which are 

solely or mainly in respect of physical injury, illness, nervous 

shock, death, or their consequences. The scheme can, however, 

deal with compensation claims which include an element 

of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the 

amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this 

element. Application for arbitration under this scheme must be 

made within 18 months of the date of return from the holiday, 

otherwise it will only be available if we agree, but the ABTA 

Code does not require such agreement from us. For injury and 

illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure 

and we have the option to agree to mediation. 

11. PROMPT ASSISTANCE 

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

for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance 

as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we 

will provide you with appropriate information on health 

services, local authorities and consular assistance, and 

assistance with distance communications and finding 

alternative travel arrangements. Where you require assistance, 

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

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

alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you 

require. Any supplier, airline or other transport supplier may 

however pay for or provide refreshments and/or appropriate 

accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. 

Subject to the other terms of these Terms and Conditions, 


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

in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior 

authorisation before making your own travel arrangements. 

Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our 

assistance in the event that the difficulty is caused intentionally 

by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through your 

or your party’s negligence. 

12. GOVERNING LAW 

These Terms and Conditions and any matters arising from it 

are governed in all respects by the laws of England and Wales. 

We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which 

arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or 

booking will be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales. 

You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland 

or Northern Ireland if you live in those places and if you wish 

to do so. 

13. DESCRIPTIONS 

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

and prices contained in company literature are correct, based 

on inspections and information passed to the Company by 

its suppliers. However, changes do occur, sometimes at short 

notice, and therefore the Company will advise you at the time 

of booking, or if after booking as soon as possible of any such 

changes to our published information. It is not always possible 

for the Company to control all elements of the holiday whereby 

advertised facilities can sometimes become unavailable at short 

notice due to inclement weather conditions, lack of demand, 

emergency repair works etc. 

14. FINANCIAL PROTECTION 

We provide financial security for flight-inclusive packages and 

ATOL protected flights by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s 

Licence number 2881, issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, 

Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK, telephone 

0333 103 6350, email: claims@caa.co.uk. 

When you buy an ATOL protected product from us you will 

receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially 

protected, where you can get information on what this means 

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

information, visit the ATOL website at atol.org.uk. The price of 

our flight inclusive arrangements includes the amount of £2.50 

per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) 

we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised 

prices. Not all holiday or travel services offered and sold by 

us will be protected by the ATOL Scheme. ATOL protection 

extends primarily to customers who book and pay in the 

United Kingdom. 

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will 

provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or 

a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the 

supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative 

ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have 

bought (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those 

circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those 

obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be 

paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. 

However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible 

to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be 

entitled to make a claim under the ATOL Scheme (or your credit 

card issuer where applicable). 

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are 

unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, 

through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons 

of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make 

a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL 

scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit 

you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you 

have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision 

of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent 

(or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that 

any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other 

body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. 

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

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

The Travel Association, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ, 

www.abta.com. 

The Company is a member of ABTA (number V6398/72314) 

and holds an ATOL Licence (number 2881) issued by the 

Civil Aviation Authority. We are obliged to maintain a high 

standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. For 

further information about ABTA, The Code of Conduct 

and the arbitration scheme available to you, or if you have a 

complaint, contact ABTA, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ. 

Tel: 0203 117 0500 or go to www.abta.com. 

You agree to accept that in the event of our insolvency, ABTA 

may arrange for the travel services you have booked to 

continue, or for a suitable alternative to be provided at the same 

cost of your original booking. You also agree to accept that in 

circumstances where the travel services supplier provides the 

services you have booked, you agree to pay any outstanding 

sum under your contract with us to that alternative travel 

service provider. However, you also agree that in some cases 

the services will not be provided, in which case you will be 

entitled to make a claim under ABTA’s Scheme of Protection 

(or your payment card issuer where applicable) for a refund of 

the monies you have paid. 

15. FORCE MAJEURE 

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Terms and 

Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our 

contractual obligations to you are affected by “force majeure”. 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, force majeure 

means any event beyond our or our suppliers’ control, the 

consequences of which could not have been avoided even if 

all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include 

warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, 

significant risks to human health such as pandemics, epidemics 

or the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination, 

or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or weather 

conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the 

travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the act of 

any government or other national or local authority including 

port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock 

closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological 

disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport, and all 

similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’ control. 

Brexit Implications: please note that certain travel 

arrangements may be affected as a result of the United 

Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could 

include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to 

certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements 

of British citizens travelling to, within, or through the EU. 

Please rest assured that this is something we will continue to 

monitor and will advise our customers as soon as possible 

if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be 

affected. However, since this is something which is completely 

unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any 

such changes as force majeure, and while we will endeavour 

to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where 

possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation. 

16. COVID-19 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND 

ADDITIONAL HOLIDAY INFORMATION 

(a) Guests must sign an acknowledgement attesting to their 

fitness to travel and agreeing to comply with all health 

protocols as directed by the Company’s staff during their 

journey. 

(b) The Company will have no liability for any refunds, 

compensation, costs, expenses or other losses of any kind 

incurred by you (including, where applicable, the cost of 

medical treatment, curtailment of your holiday, missed 

transport arrangement and additional accommodation 

required), in the following circumstances: 

a. Prior to departure, you have been diagnosed or have 

otherwise been in contact with someone who has been 

diagnosed with Covid-19 and are no longer able to travel and/ 

or required to self-isolate; 

b. After your departure and during your holiday, you have been 

diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone 

who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are required to 

self-isolate. 

c. You fail any tests, checks or other measures imposed by 

a supplier, airline, port or airport, border control authority 

or any other government body or local authority or fail to 

submit for testing or assessment when requested to do so 

and as a consequence you are denied boarding, denied entry 

to the destination or otherwise denied access to any of your 

travel arrangements. This includes any requirement to be fully 

vaccinated (including any and all necessary boosters) and 

for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by the 

country(ies) which you are travelling to. 

(c) In response to the Covid-19 global crisis, each destination 

has implemented their own health and safety measures and 

precautions in an attempt to combat the spread of the disease. 

Specific regions, resorts, event organisers and suppliers have 

also introduced their own health and safety measures in line 

with government advice (local or national), depending on 

their capacity and ability to take certain precautions. It is your 

responsibility to make yourself aware of and comply with the 

measures that are in place at the travel destination, resort or 

other accommodation you have booked, Health and safety 

measures and requirements may also vary for each activity, tour 

and other excursions and travel arrangements you have booked. 

These measures may be mandatory and it is essential that you 

and any members of your party comply with and respect any 

local and national health and safety measures throughout the 

duration of your holiday as you could face penalties for failing 

to do so. Such measures may include, but are not limited 

to, social distancing, the use of facemasks both indoors and 

outdoors, a maximum number of households or people in the 

accommodation or other facilities and restrictions on the use of 

certain facilities. They may also include a requirement for you 

to take a specific Covid-19 test and show a negative result or 

proof of recent recovery of Covid-19 or show proof of being fully 

vaccinated (including any and all necessary boosters) and for 

that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by that specific 

supplier, destination, resort etc. We will not be liable for any 

costs, fees, charges or penalties you incur from your failure to 

comply with any mandatory requirements or measures. 

Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any 

mandatory measures that are in place at your travel destination 

and/or in place at any of the travel arrangements that you have 

booked. However, it is your responsibility to check the measures 

and requirements that are in place at your travel destination and 

ensure you are checking these regularly before your departure 

date. For further information we suggest you visit https://www. 

gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and search for the country(ies) you 

are planning to travel to, as well as the website and/or terms and 

conditions of your specific travel arrangements. 

(d) It is your responsibility to check the entry requirement for 

the destination(s) you are travelling to as many countries have 

introduced additional entry requirements. Entry requirements 

may include, but are not limited to, proof of a negative 

Covid-19 test taken at a certain point prior to your departure 

date, additional Covid-19 test(s) taken at certain points during 

your holiday or proof of a Covid-19 vaccination (including 

any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to 

be valid, in-date and accepted by the country(ies) which 

you are travelling to. In addition to these requirements, you 

may be required to complete and present additional travel 

documentation beforehand detailing any destination you 

have travelled through/visited recently and whether you have 

been diagnosed or been in contact with anyone who has been 

diagnosed with Covid-19 recently. If you fail to complete and/ 

or present the above when required, or if you fail any health 

check, you may be denied boarding and entry to your travel 

destination(s). We do not accept responsibility if you cannot 

travel and we are not liable for any costs, fees or charges you 

incur if you have not complied with the requirements or if 

you fail any health check. Unless stated otherwise, you will 

be responsible for the cost of any Covid-19 tests that you are 

required to have before and/or after your departure. 

Entry requirements are likely to differ for each country 

and may change before your departure date. Therefore, it is 

important that you keep up to date with the entry requirements 

that are in place for your travel destination(s). 

Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any 

entry requirements that apply to your travel destination(s) 

and will attempt to notify you without delay if any of the entry 

requirements change before your departure date but it is your 

responsibility to make yourself aware of the above and regularly 

check for the most up to date information up until the point of 

your departure. For further information on entry requirements, 

please visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and 

search for the country(ies) you are planning to travel to.

Transforming travel: 

from adventure to advantage 

The travel industry is evolving. Greater 

equity and sustainability from tourism 

is becoming a key element in every booking. 

Ensuring that the local community benefits 

from the tourist economy is as vital to many 

of our travellers as their passports, sunscreen, 

and mosquito repellent. 

At Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy 

(AKP), we are dedicated to positively 

impacting lives and livelihoods in the 

communities where our guests travel. We are 

equally committed to ensuring guests learn 

about our philanthropic investments as an 

integral part of their travel experience. 

From Africa to Asia, Latin America to the 

Arctic Circle, we are working with partner 

communities on 46 education, healthcare, 

conservation, and enterprise development 

projects, across 24 countries, and with eight 

full-time A&K Philanthropy co-ordinators. 

OUR FOUR MAIN MISSION OBJECTIVES ARE: 

EDUCATION 

Providing a supportive learning environment, we are committed to enabling 

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

CONSERVATION 

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

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

and economic opportunity. 

HEALTH 

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

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

ENTERPRISE 

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

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

innovations to positively impact local livelihoods. 

Our tailor-made holidays can include culturally immersive 

visits to our projects throughout the world. 

Speak to one of our travel specialists about this when booking, 

and see how you can transform your travel for good.
