WHO WE ARE CONTIKI IS LEGENDARY FOR A REASON. WE’VE BEEN TAKING YOUNG PEOPLE ON INCREDIBLE TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD FOR 53 YEARS, OPENING THEIR EYES TO NEW CULTURES AND SHOWING THEM HOW TO CELEBRATE BEING YOUNG, WILD AND FREE. AND EVEN THOUGH WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON BEING THE CLASSIC, WE’RE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING TO GIVE YOUNG TRAVELLERS THE NEWEST AND BEST OF EACH DESTINATION, WITH EXCLUSIVE ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND EXPERIENCES THAT NO OTHER BRAND OFFERS. HOW WE TRAVEL

WHAT WE INCLUDE

No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world, from high energy trips to sailing adventures. These are your trips, your way, and we have plenty of choices to create a journey that’s perfect for you, from your budget to your accommodation style.

The best damn trips on the planet, that’s what! But seriously, our trips include everything you need to have the best travel experience of your life. We take care of all the boring logistics like booking hotels, finding the best spots for dinner in small towns and getting you from place to place.

WHO YOU’LL TRAVEL WITH We’re all about exploring the world with like-minded people –18-35 year olds who are keen to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. Don’t worry if you’re not travelling as a couple or with a friend from home – 50% of Contiki’s travellers set off solo, meaning you’ll have a ton of opportunities to make new mates.

OUR TRIPS With over 200 different trips around the world, over 55 countries, and plenty of departure dates, you’ll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure or gap year. Flip to pages 6-7 for a map of where Contiki travels – we’re taking over the world one exciting destination at a time.

You can toss out that map and guide book too, because our awesome team of young Trip Managers, Drivers and Local Guides know as much about the destinations you visit as the locals themselves. And the sights? You’ll get VIP access to the world’s icons, so try not to look too smug as you skip to the front of the mile-long line at the Eiffel Tower and Colosseum. One thing’s for sure – it’s amazing value you won’t find anywhere else – see pages 8-9 for more details on what’s included in your trip price and visit contiki.com/compare for even more reasons on why Contiki is the only way to go.

WHY CHOOSE AUSTRALIA Contiki is all about the best sights, more inclusions, culture, epic memories & no hassle. To keep things easy, we’ve compared 2 days travelling in Sydney on a hotel trip going it alone, vs 2 days with Contiki. It’s pretty simple – you can’t do what we do, for less, with less hassle. And we’ve got you covered for all regions we visit. Head to contiki.com/compare to see how Contiki measures up... THE IMPORTANT STUFF ACCOMODATION

ON YOUR OWN

...OR YOU COULD DO THIS...

Ouch, Sydney is expensive! But Trip Advisor said the hotel was good, so got to roll with the punches I guess. (A$140 per night)

Loving the hotel, so super central in King’s Cross. Totally right where I need to be. Comfy bed, check! Fluffy towels, check! Ultra lush! (Included)

BREAKFAST

Now…where do I go for breakfast…This food looks unreal! Pricey, but got to fuel up for the day of exploring. (A$17)

Waking up to breakfast just downstairs is so easy. (Included) Good continental mix, delicious.

TRANSPORT

Now where did the concierge say the train station was again? Urgh I’m lost. And where do I get tickets? (A$23 per day). So much to do, I hope I have enough time to see it all…damn. Wow – this city is incredible!

Coach right outside – yes please. No hassle for this traveller! Loving being shown around the city with our Trip Manager leading the charge. No fussing around with maps or GPS– too easy. (Included)

MEAL EXPERIENCES

The food here is amazing – got to get amongst it. Expensive, but I’m hungry & this restaurant looks good. I guess I’ve just got to suck it up & get into it. (A$50)

Aussie cook your own BBQ – got to love it & this steak is de-lish. (Included) Looking forward to trying a heap of other yummy Aussie eats too!

YOUR TEAM

Concierge didn’t really get what I was asking, but they told me where the bus & train stations were, so I guess that’s a start. Now where did I see that ATM?

Loving my Trip Manager (Included) it makes things so easy. No hassle at all & having someone to ask questions to, point out where the bathrooms & the ATM’s are is totally priceless.

Been saving up to do the Harbour Bridge Climb – woo hoo the view up here is amazing! Definitely a moment I’ll never forget. Thank you Sydney! (A$248)

I’ve been researching the BridgeClimb – it’s a MUST! And having it all pre-booked for a great price was key – no waiting around on Contiki. (A$198)

SIGHTSEEING

Manly is THE place to people watch, but how do I get there? Boat ride sounds good too. (A$14.80 return ferry ticket) What else… Blue Mountains! I hope I’m not going to need to hire a car… Took up most of my day, but these mountains are definitely worth it. (A$140)

Never thought I could see this much…and my Trip Manager gives us all the inside info & history. Opera House, Darling Harbour, Chinatown & the Blue Mountains – including a hike at Wentworth Falls…incredible. Took a ferry to Manly, had a swim & checked out the surfers. (All included)

THE TOTAL

Sydney, you are amazing. But you cost me A$237 per day (average cost per day for 2 days), plus A$248 for BridgeClimb.

TICK! Did Sydney like a pro & loved it. Trips from A$195* per day plus (A$198) for BridgeClimb. And the 24/7 knowledge of my own Trip Manager, totally priceless!

AWESOME ACCOMMODATION A bad night’s sleep makes for a grumpy traveller. At Contiki, we’re loud & proud about our awesome accommodation & it’s not hard to see why. In the big cities it’s all about being central, like our hotel in Bangkok that’s one street away from bustling Khao San Road. In Peru, you’ll doze off to the sleeping sounds of the Amazon in our exclusive jungle lodge. And France? Nowhere compares to Contiki’s 16th Century French Château. So just sleep easy and stay connected with WiFi at most stops and we’ll take care of the rest. Find out more at contiki.com/accommodation

THE BEST INCLUSIONS We’ve scouted the best parts of each destination & included them in the cost of your trip so there’s no way you’ll miss out on the iconic gotta-see’s or local secrets. We take care of entry too, so you can head straight to the front of the line at Angkor Wat & secure a premium spot for sunrise. And we give back in the places we visit, giving our travellers the chance to support great causes in the places you’ll come to love. Look out for the • on the itinerary pages for some of what’s included, and for even more visit contiki.com

CONTIKI.COM

AN EPIC TEAM Our crew of dedicated Contiki Trip Managers, Drivers & On-site Team are young, fun & passionate about travel – just like you. They often know more about the places you’ll visit than the locals themselves, because a lot of the time they are the locals. So you can stop Googling ‘best bars in Sydney’ or ‘shopping streets in LA’ to get advice from a boring old journalist – we’ve got this. Find out more at contiki.com/team

BETTER WAYS TO TRAVEL Getting from A to B in a foreign country can be a bit of a headache, let’s be honest. Language barriers, missed trains & 17 hours on public buses can turn an exciting adventure into an exhausting one. We get you from place to place the quickest way possible, whether it’s by our modern, air-conditioned coaches with WiFi, planes, train or waterway, giving you more time to explore a new city and less time fumbling with a map.

ME TIME It’s the freedom & flexibility to explore your way, and we have a range of amazing ME Time optional extras for you to choose from if you want. Look out for the M symbol on the trip itineraries for a taste of what’s available & find out more at contiki.com/metime Important: ME Time optional activities are not included in the price of your trip. They are run by 3rd party operators & on occasions, for some of the activities, travellers may be required to sign a waiver to participate. Before you leave, it’s important that you check your insurance includes your participation in adventure activities & be aware that some of our optionals can be physically demanding & may involve some risk.

HIGH ENERGY

EASY PACE

SAILING & CRUISE

Explore by day, live it up by night

Take it slowly

Sun, sea, sand & adventure!

Culture-packed days & fun-filled nights define what High Energy is all about. Explore unique cities with your new best mates then let the good times roll as day turns into night & you find yourself at the club of our French Château or at a beach party in Surfers Paradise. Because life is meant to be lived & you can sleep when you get home. Right now you’re busy making memories.

Sun-worshipping on the sands of Koh Samui, people-watching at Parisian cafés, pigging out at the food trucks in San Fran – some of us see holidays as a way to totally unwind far away from home. On our Easy Pace trips, you’ll spend more time doing the things you love at your own speed, whether it’s on a beach in the Galapagos or the streets of New York. Because sometimes slow is the best way to go.

There’s nothing like waking up to the fresh ocean breeze of the Whitsundays on your face or the sun rising over the Mediterranean. Pack your swimmers & set off on one of our epic sailing & cruise adventures, soaking up the sun on a traditional Turkish gulet or taking it easy on one of our Greek yachts. You’ll spend your days diving into crystal clear waters & chilling with a brew at beachside towns along the way. So basically, in paradise.

FESTIVAL & SHORT STAYS

WINTER & SKI

FREESTYLE CAMPING

Celebrate life’s big events

Hit the slopes

Sleep under the stars

Life’s a celebration, and at Contiki, we love a good party. Join us as we dance to our favourite bands at Sziget music festival in Budapest, pop bottles of champagne on New Year’s Eve in Vegas & kick off a beer hall sing-a-long at Oktoberfest. You can also tack on one of our short stays in the world’s most iconic cities, exploring London’s trendiest neighbourhoods & LA’s star-studded nightlife.

Sure it’s not all shorts & flip flops, but travelling in the cooler months has major advantages – fewer crowds, shorter lines & cheaper entry fees, to name a few. And if you’re a fan of the slopes, we have your winter utopia right here. Our ski & snowboard trips take you to the epic hills of Whistler, Lake Tahoe, Queenstown & our very own Austrian Gasthof in Hopfgarten. So grab your board, hit the slopes & top it all off with a little après-ski.

Forget everything you thought you knew about camping, because we’ve upped the ante big time. We have six awesome budget-friendly trips through Europe that let you explore the vibrant cities by day then retreat to the beautiful outdoors to sleep under the stars at night. This isn’t your Dad’s version of camping, either – our sites have everything from pools to bars to pizza joints, so it’s more about comfort than roughing it.

TRAVEL

MADE EASY

NEED A PASSPORT OR VISA?

PACKING TIPS 101 Packing is easy if you’ve got the basics covered! Bring enough to cover you for a few days (who wants to be inside doing laundry when you could be checking out the sights?) It’s a good idea not to forget flip-flops & comfy shoes for when you’re out exploring too! You’ll need all your favourite creature comforts & bathroom essentials, sunglasses, plus adaptor plugs. (Note: On some trips you’ll need a towel too.)

CONTIKI.COM

Getting a passport is easy, so don’t let it stop you from getting the journey started. Get ready for new stamps & new adventures wherever you want to go. Our tip: passports can take some time to get back, so leave a good amount of time before taking your trip (just in case). Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to enter certain countries included in your trip. Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip. Visa & other entry & exit conditions (such as currency, arrival/departure taxes, customs & quarantine regulations) change regularly. Consult Contiki or your travel agent to determine any visas you require & how to obtain them.

TRAVELLING SOLO? More than half of our travellers go solo, so on our trips you’re guaranteed to meet up with like-minded people from all over the world. And we make it easy to connect with other travellers on your trip through Contiki MeetUps before you leave home. It’s simple – book your trip, log on, share travel tips, like packing advice & count down to your adventures with your new friends before you’ve even packed your bags. See contiki.com/meetups.

TRAVEL APPS WE LOVE Here at Contiki HQ we’ve got you covered when it comes to apps. From our own Contiki Shout! app (see p.18 for details) to our faves: Instagram, Facebook, Viber, Snapchat, Whatsapp & AroundMe. This is the list of awesome apps your phone needs now (well we think so anyway!)

FROM GETTING CASH READY TO CHECKING THE WEATHER OR PACKING, HERE’S OUR GO-TO GUIDE FOR THE STUFF YOU JUST GOTTA KNOW BEFORE YOU START YOUR ADVENTURE.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST… • We’ve all got that little something we don’t leave home without… teddy bear, lucky undies, lucky charm? If you think you’re going to miss it, then bring it.

NEW BEATS For those who like to chill with their headphones in, don’t forget to top up that iPod with some new cool sounds. Check out Contiki’s weekly top tunes on soundcloud. com/contiki – our resident DJ Ben has been scouring the net for the hottest new tracks from around the globe, served up just for you. Plus some of our coaches are fitted with state of the art sound systems for excellent beats on the go.

STYLE STALK

CASH, CASH, CASH

True fashion hunters – do your research on the best places for the best buys in the places you’re headed. Europe is renowned for having some of the best sales on the planet, with up to 70% off retail not being uncommon. Treat yourself to a bespoke suit in Asia or discover the Australian designers you can’t get anywhere else when you’re Down Under! Leave some space in your bag for envy-worthy purchases from shoes, bags & jeans to anything & everything in-between.

ATMs are readily available throughout Europe, Australia & New Zealand, and the USA & Canada and our Team know the best places to access cash on the go (however if you are heading off the beaten track through Asia or Latin America you will need a little more cash in your pocket as ATMs can be a little more spread out). Take some cash & credit cards like Visa & for converting euros to foreign currencies, try our handy Shout! app when you’re on the go.

• Say bye to your pet… awwwww. • Make a photocopy of your passport & keep it in a separate pack from your travel docs. • Giving your friends FOMO & keeping in touch is key! Make sure you’re friends with everyone you possibly know on social, you’ve got your parents email & don’t forget granny’s address for those postcards. Yes, snail mail really does still exist! • With weight restrictions, you only have 20kgs/44lbs to take on the coach, so packing like a pro is key.

5 WAYS TO TREAD LIGHTLY WHEN TRAVELLING

1. Bring a reusable water bottle and reduce the use of plastics.

2. Explore cities by foot, bike or public transport on your ME Time to reduce your carbon footprint.

3. Switch off when you’re not in your hotel room to conserve energy.

4. Buy local – you’ll support the communities you visit and help reduce shipping from other countries.

5. Conserve water in hotels by turning off the taps when not in use – water is a scarce resource in many of the countries we visit.

Did you know coach travel has been proven to reduce congestion and cause less pollution per passenger mile than any other transportation option? Contiki’s coach fleet is among the most efficient in Europe and complies with EU emissions standards V and VI.

And above all, you’ll never forget the people that were right by your side to experience it all. contiki.com/europe

BROCHURE AUTHENTICITY We have put a great deal of effort into producing this brochure. The information given & literature produced by Contiki has been compiled with care & is published in good faith. Sometimes, because of circumstances outside our control, we have to alter some activities due to seasonal

closing or repairs to buildings, etc., especially early or late in the season. If this happens, alternatives will be arranged. HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED? You should be able to use debit & credit cards for most items. You’ll need to allow enough money to cover lunches, some dinners, souvenirs, shopping, drinks, optional activities, entrance fees to attractions & evening entertainment. It is advisable to start your trip with some cash in local currencies. NO MANDATORY TIPPING - REWARD ONLY EXCELLENCE! Every country in the world has different tipping policies, within service industries, tipping is common practice. Tipping is totally optional & only given if you feel the service has exceeded your expectations. If you think your Contiki Team have done an exceptional job then you may wish to tip them. This is entirely discretionary – it’s completely up to you. No mandatory tipping – reward only excellence! ME TIME OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES Our great value optionals are arranged & paid for on your trip. You’ll get great value as we get you great rates. Some activities are seasonal & weather dependent. Our optional activities on our trips are operated by 3rd party operators. While every attempt is made to ensure the safety of all activities, the nature of some regions means that public liability protection that is offered in many countries, may not be applicable in many cases. In some instances a waiver will need to be signed by trip participants to ensure that these conditions are understood & accepted. Note: Travel insurance is mandatory for all Contiki Asia & Latin America trips. HOW DO I PAY? You can pay on your trip in cash (local currency or USD depending on the region). In New Zealand, Australia, North America or Europe you can also use all major credit cards, including VPAY in Europe. Note: In a few destinations we cannot accept credit card payment, like the UK, Croatia, Russia & Turkey. Ask your Trip Manager for details when you start your trip PAST TRAVELLER 5% DISCOUNT Eligibility for this discount is based on clients having booked & travelled with Contiki (or one of our Travel Corporation sister brands, visit www.thetravelcorporation.com for details) within 5 years of their last trip.

bring with you any medication that you may require en route, such as antihistamines, antibiotics. DO I NEED A PASSPORT OR VISA? Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to enter certain countries included in your trip. You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip.

Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you to miss part of your trip & will result in you incurring considerable expense & inconvenience. 3. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred as a result of you failing to obtain all necessary visas before the departure of your trip. 4. It is better to apply for all visas through your travel agent before you leave home. 5. It is very important that the entry & exit dates are correct on the visa.

BOOKING CONDITIONS Once Contiki accepts your booking by conﬁrmation thereof a contract is made between Contiki & you upon the terms & conditions set out below. The following Booking Conditions, have to the extent possible, taken account of the European Community Package Travel Directive. Legal interpretation on specific clauses of this directive may vary between European Community member states. Contiki accept that the legal interpretation of the member state where the booking is made will prevail over the following Booking Conditions where the Package Travel Directive have been adopted into law.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES 1. YOUR HOLIDAY RESERVATION On receipt of your deposit, subject to availability and at our discretion, Contiki will reserve your place on your selected holiday. A contract is made between you and Contiki Holidays Limited (Registered in Guernsey No. 50681 (Contiki)) only upon your booking being confirmed and accepted by us and our communication thereof to you or your travel agent. 2. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION Contiki are a member of ABTA and hold ATOL Number 10144 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, which provide for your protection in the event of our insolvency. Only bookings from countries subject to the EC Package Travel Directive will receive financial protection from ABTA & CAA. Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday 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. 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 or a suitable alternative (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. Any monies paid to us for non-licensable products (accommodation and packages which do not include flight elements) are protected by means of a bond held by us with ABTA. This means that if, in the unlikely event of our insolvency, the accommodation or package cannot be provided, the client will receive their money back or, if their stay has started, arrangements will be made for them to be able to continue as planned. 3. PRICE GUARANTEE Prices in this brochure are based on costs, taxes (including VAT/ sales tax(es)), levies & exchange rates as at 7th August, 2014. Should these costs change, it may be necessary to make a surcharge on the price of your holiday. Should the total trip price increase by more than 10% you will have the right to cancel within 7 days of notification without penalty. No surcharge in respect of cost or currency fluctuations will be made once payment of the deposit for your land trip has been received. This guarantee excludes fuel surcharges & does not apply to any taxes, charges or levies imposed by any government or their agencies. In exchange for these guarantees, no refund will be made if costs are reduced.

4. IF WE CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY 4.1 Contiki reserves the right to change or cancel your booking in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. 4.2 Should change or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, and where available, offer you a comparable alternative. Where cancellation is necessary, a minimum period of 45 days notice will be given by us unless the circumstances leading to the cancellation were beyond our reasonable control. 4.3 If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another Contiki holiday without payment of any transfer fee. 4.4 If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events beyond Contiki’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect of your booking. 4.5 Contiki is not responsible for the cost of any other travel arrange-ments affected due to cancellation or the rescheduling of any holiday. 5. HOLIDAY DETAILS AND CONDITIONS 5.1 The information in our brochure is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of going to print (December, 2014) but we cannot guarantee that any item or amenity mentioned will be available especially where we have no direct control over it. 5.2 Contiki will do their best, at their discretion, to select accommodation, sightseeing trips and transportation to give you good value for money. 5.3 Contiki constantly strives to improve trip itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations. Accommodation in the Greek islands may be split across a number of hotels. 5.4 Complimentary WiFi service is available in many Contiki guestrooms and/or the public areas of most properties. In many itineraries WiFi is also available on-board the coaches.

In some countries and on some coaches this service will not be available, in particular regional tours in Turkey, Egypt & Greece. 6. LIABILITY 6.1 Your travel agent shall, on the receipt of any monies, hold such monies for you until the booking is confirmed at which time those monies shall be remitted promptly by your travel agent to us.

When making multi-trip bookings, full payment is due no later than 45 days before scheduled departure date of the first departing trip. 2.2 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may assume that you have cancelled and cancellation charges in accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki. 2.3 Tickets and other documents will not be forwarded until full payment has been received by us. 2.4 In the case of Late Bookings made within 45 days of your departure from your home country, the full cost of the holiday will be payable immediately on booking and we reserve the right to provide all travel documents at the holiday departure point. 2.5 Contiki reserves the right to cancel the booking and apply cancellation charges should payments not be received within the above specified periods. 3. IF YOU CANCEL 3.1 Notice of cancellation must be made to Contiki in writing as soon as possible. 3.2 Your deposit is non-refundable upon cancellation by you. 3.3 Upon cancellation you will be liable to pay a fee to cover the estimate of cost and expenses incurred by us in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder. This is expressed as a percentage of the holiday price and is calculated as follows: EUROPE, USA, AUSTRALIA & NZ TRIPS: PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE More than 45 days notice: ...........................Deposit is forfeited 45-22 days...................................................... 25% of tour fare 21-8 days: ....................................................... 30% of tour fare 7-1 days: ........................................................ 50% of tour fare Day of departure:........................................... 100% of tour fare Where the percentage cancellation fee is less than the deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any holiday insurance policy which you hold, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company. Extra night accomodations that are cancelled within 14 days of booked date will incur a 100% cancellation fee, outside 14 days the following fees will be charged: 45-22 days.........................................................................25% 21-15 days.........................................................................30% LATIN AMERICA TRIPS: PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE More than 45 days notice: ...........................Deposit is forfeited 45-22 days...................................................... 25% of tour fare 21-8 days: ....................................................... 30% of tour fare 7-1 days: ........................................................ 75% of tour fare Day of departure:........................................... 100% of tour fare ASIA TRIPS: PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE Over 45 days notice: ....................................Deposit is forfeited 45-31 days:......................................................25% of trip fare 30-8 days: ........................................................50% of trip fare 7-1 days: ..........................................................75% of trip fare Day of departure: ...........................................100% of trip fare NB: Please note, Contiki’s cancellation policy is different in Asia, South America and USA & Canada due to internal flight ticketing timeframes & ground transport confirmations. These must be booked well in advance in order to secure high quality services that adhere to our strict safety standards. Where the percentage cancellation fee is less than the trip deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any holiday insurance policy which you hold, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company. If you have booked a trip including the Inca Trail Trek the additional deposit you paid at the time of booking is non-refundable.

3.4 Any cancellation of additional services within 14 days from date of service, such as pre & post accommodation & transfers, will incur a 100% cancellation fee. For cancellation of additional services outside of 14 days from date of service, please refer to the above cancellation policy. 3.5 These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that may be levied by your travel agent. All cancellation policies valid as at 8th December, 2014 and are subject to change. Final policy will be confirmed at the time of booking. 4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING 4.1 If after your booking has been confirmed, you wish to change to an alternate departure date you may do so subject to availability & provided the new holiday date is also in this brochure. 4.2 A fee of €25 per person will be charged for any revision or alteration made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed, unless the change increases the value of the booking. A change of booking within 45 days of departure will be treated as a cancellation & normal cancellation fees will apply (as detailed in section 3) except when the change is to an earlier departure date of equivalent or greater value, in which case a €25 per person amendment fee will be charged in addition to any amendment fees imposed due to internal flights/local ferries. 4.3 Transfer of the package to another traveller is allowed, however both the original booker and transferee are liable for the payment of any outstanding monies. This may also include any service charges/amendment fees levied on Contiki by 3rd party contractors. 4.4 Inca Trail Trek.
