It can be a difficult decision booking a holiday. With so much choice, it can be time-consuming and overwhelming but that’s where we can help. We want to make sure we’re really delivering – that’s why we wrap so much into the price of each trip. Time is precious. So we know the value in being able to organise everything for you. Flights, hotels, excursions, dining packages, even your journey to and from home. Expertise comes as standard, too, from the logistics know-how of our product team to the in-depth local knowledge of our guides and tour managers (find out more about them on page 7).

We’re really clear about what’s included in each individual tour, from the number of meals to the specific hotels we’ve chosen for each stop. You’ll find everything detailed in full in our brochures and on our website, but if anything’s unclear just give us a call and we’ll be happy to chat you through it.

You’re the VIP It’s the little extra touch that makes the start and end of your holiday as easy as the rest of the trip: a chauffeur-driven transfer that whisks you from door to explore – and back again. We call it our ‘VIP door-to-door travel’ service and it’s included on every one of our holidays.

A warm welcome Our friendly drivers will pick you up from home (anywhere on the UK mainland) and take you to the airport, port or your UK hotel. Depending where you live our VIP pick up includes a home transfer and flight from your local airport to London.*

A safe return Once your holiday has ended, our VIP driver will be waiting to take you back home. *An extra supplement will apply if you decide you’d rather not take a domestic flight and travel via road.

More experiences Our itineraries are planned by those who know the destination inside out, and carefully considered to ensure you really get the most out of each moment of your holiday. You’ll see the big sights, of course, but there’ll be those extra-special experiences included too. They’ll be things that will really immerse you in local culture - coffee tasting on a Costa Rican ranch, say, or a behind-the-scenes visit to Nashville’s Studio B (birthplace of some truly iconic country, pop and rock records).

As well as our core collection of holidays, we offer a series of special itineraries and departures focusing on solo travel, small group touring and Cruise & Tour combinations.

Small group tours

We know crowds can be overwhelming, which is why our small group tours are a great choice for travellers looking for a more personal experience. These tours have all the same ingredients as our regular award-winning escorted holidays, but with a maximum of just 24 guests (and many with even less). This offers a unique way to travel – from being more flexible to being able to visit places that just aren’t accessible in large crowds.

Small group tours are highlighted in pink in the contents.

Travelling in a small group gives travellers the opportunity to become more immersed in local culture and traditions through meeting and interacting with the people who know the destination best – the locals.

Phil Ellis, Product Manager

Solo holidays

If you’re travelling on your own, an escorted tour is a fantastic option. Having a great group of like-minded people to share the trip’s memorable moments with makes them all the more special, plus you’ll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything – from the itinerary details to the airport transfers – is taken care of.

Our solo tours are departures reserved exclusively for those travelling by themselves, and include a drinks reception hosted by your tour manager on the first night (ideal for getting to know everyone).

You’ll see these departures highlighted in peach in the dates and prices panels.

Of course, you can travel solo on any of our other tours too. We aim to keep single supplements as low as we can, and we never add an extra charge for our VIP transfers.

Cruise & Tour

These destination-rich itineraries combine the effortless adventure of an escorted tour with a luxury cruise holiday. During the tour, you’ll see incredible sights like Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, and enjoy experiences such as wine tastings and scenic rail journeys. On board your ocean cruise, you’ll sail through beautiful landscapes, explore the very best of your chosen destinations, and still get the chance to relax and unwind. Cruise & Tour holidays are highlighted in green in the contents.

To arrange all of these wonderful destinations independently in one trip would be complex and costly. These Cruise & Tour holidays are unique to Titan, crafted with the expertise, care and detail that our customers have come to expect from us.

Andy Squirrell, Chief Commercial Officer 5

More effortless Dreaming of seeking out sloths and spider monkeys in Costa Rica? Or perhaps seeing Alaska’s iceberg-dotted waters or the desert rock formations in southwestern USA? All are incredible adventures, but they’re trips that would take a lot of time and effort to plan if you were DIY-ing.

With us, it’s all done for you, opening up a world of truly hassle-free travel.

We’ve wanted to see this part of America for a long time. And we’re so glad we decided to choose Titan. We would never have seen half as much as we did had we done it by ourselves. We explored so many unexpected places. Such a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Connie, Titan customer

First, we pull out all the stops to create truly unique itineraries, with every aspect carefully considered to create a trip that really wows. Then the detail kicks in, working out the route you’ll take to a particular sight, researching the restaurants you might stop at for lunch.

Hours of planning go into each trip – as departure dates approach, we’re always busy behind the scenes, confirming hotel rooms and pre-booking tickets and passes ready for our travellers. Planning each tour to perfection is something we take pride in, and we love nothing more than our customers telling us just how effortless their trip was.

In my eyes, the best bit about travelling with Titan is the fact that we do all the hard work for you. We ensure that all the must-see sights are covered, but also that some of the lesser-known gems are included – nothing gets forgotten, so all you have to do is enjoy the experience.

More knowledgeable guide

From the wildlife specialist we’ll introduce you to in Canada’s Jasper National Park, to the tour manager who gives you insight into Ecuador’s culture and customs, you’ll have expertise on hand, every step of the way.

Although the places we visit are magical, by far the best thing about being a tour manager is the people.

To start with a group of strangers and watch as they become a group of friends travelling together, this is what makes this job the best in the world.

Jeremy Luton, Tour Manager

Tour managers Tour managers are the people who can really make a holiday – some of our customers even base their holiday choice around their favourite tour manager’s schedule.

We personally select each of our tour managers to ensure they’re among the best in the business. They’re there to keep everything running smoothly and safely, but also help you get the most out of your time away. They’ll be there when you need them, on hand with hints, tips, help and advice throughout your trip.

Local guides On some tours or excursions, you’ll also have local guides to give you extra insight into your destination. Their in-depth knowledge can transport you to the time of ancient civilisations like the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans.

Planning and perfecting are what we do best – but that doesn’t mean your itinerary is set in stone from start to finish. Pick ‘n’ mix excursions, experiences and lazy days at leisure to choose a trip that’s right for you.

Action-packed or laid-back Many of our tours have leisure time built into the itinerary – mornings, afternoons or full days when you’re free to do as you please.

You might want to chill out at the hotel or wander into town for a quiet coffee or a spot of lunch. If you feel like a bit of solo sightseeing, your tour manager can recommend some great places to see and let you know how to get there. Often, there’ll be an optional excursion (or two) – experiences that we’ve hand-picked to complement the rest of the holiday.

United States of America Big-name cities, national parks, hearty cuisine and historic sights - this is the ultimate adventure. This vast country’s highlights come together like a traditional American patchwork quilt. Go west for coastal cool and canyonlands; east for small-town charm and colonial history; north for mountains and big skies; or south for musical heritage and antebellum mansions.

10

My first visit to the US was on a school trip in the 1970s and I’ve been hooked on this extraordinary country ever since. America’s ‘wow factor’ is still there in spades – in the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone, in the music and warm embrace of the Deep South, the giant Redwoods of the Pacific Northwest and the vast open horizons of Wyoming. More recently, I have come to appreciate the stunning colours, surprising stillness and unique geography of Utah’s deserts – I never tire of going back, it’s a new adventure every time Hercules Zeris, Product Manager

An experience of a lifetime. From small towns on Route 66 to big cities like Las Vegas, the fountains at the Bellagio hotel to Bell Rock in Arizona, fabulous scenery that kept changing throughout the journey.

One of the longest running of our original tours, this is still one of our most popular itineraries today. Travelling in a loop around California (and nudging into neighbouring Nevada and Arizona), it includes great cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco, drives along Route 66 and the Pacific coastal road, and the spectacular scenery of Yosemite National Park. We’ll also spend two nights in Flagstaff: gateway to the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon.

Day 1 UK - Los Angeles - Redondo Beach. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Los Angeles. We’ll stay the night in Redondo Beach.

Days 2-3 Los Angeles - San Diego. • This morning, enjoy a brief tour of three icons of popular culture - Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard and TCL Chinese Theatre, where the handprints of the stars are famously immortalised. We’ll then continue to San Diego. On the morning of day 3, a tour introduces this attractive harbour city, leaving the afternoon at leisure to make your own explorations and sample San Diego’s superb restaurants.

Day 4 Scottsdale. We travel from California to Arizona, arriving in Scottsdale in the afternoon.

Day 5 Sedona - Flagstaff. We travel to the charming artist colony of Sedona en route to Flagstaff. We spend two nights here, allowing us plenty of time to explore the area and experience the Grand Canyon.

Day 6 Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is one of the most awe-inspiring natural sights the world has to offer. This geological wonder is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide and one mile deep; a huge expanse of richly coloured rock enclosing the silvery Colorado River far below. We visit today perhaps enjoy a pre-bookable optional flight for even more stunning views of the canyon.

Days 7-8 Williams - Las Vegas. • Following a brief visit to the historic train depot at Williams, where local cowboys stage a Wild West shootout, we proceed to Las Vegas, America’s entertainment capital. You don’t need to be a high roller or slots wizard to enjoy this shimmering neon mirage in the heart of the forbidding Mojave Desert - there are shows that dazzle, from the famous Cirque du Soleil to the regular open-air spectacles, as each iconic hotel along the famous Strip tries to outdo the next in the extravagance of their performances.

Day 9 Calico - Visalia. We cross the Mojave Desert en route to Calico, a once-thriving centre of silver mining, now an enjoyable reminder of the days when cowboys roamed its streets. Visalia is our destination for the evening.

Day 10 Yosemite National Park - Modesto.

One of the world’s great natural sanctuaries is Yosemite National Park, in the Sierra Nevada.

With its craggy mountains, postcard-perfect lakes and verdant forests of dogwood, sugar pine and white fir, Yosemite is endlessly photogenic - which is why it so appealed to the great photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams. Adams visited Yosemite for more than 50 consecutive years, recording luminously beautiful photographs of the park’s dramatic landscapes, many of which have become instantly recognisable icons of the American wilderness. After a memorable day, we continue west to Modesto.

California conjures images of laid-back towns, sweeping beaches of golden sand and the glistening ocean dotted with surfers. Redondo Beach is just that, with a vibrant harbour and horseshoe-shaped pier. The Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina (4*) is ideally located for your explorations. Surrounded by views of the Pacific Ocean, it has a swimming pool, two restaurants, a bar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. And there’s the Riviera Village to explore, home to over 300 shops and restaurants.

This extension isn’t available for those choosing our shorter duration itinerary.

Please call our travel advisors for more information.

Day 13 Monterey - 17 Mile Drive - Carmel - Big Sur - Pismo Beach. We travel south to Monterey, the old Spanish and Mexican capital of upper California, then proceed along the famous 17 Mile Drive, one of the loveliest coastal routes in the world. After lunch in the delightful town of Carmel, we continue south along the dramatic Big Sur coastline to Cambria. After some time here, we’ll continue on to Pismo Beach.

Please note: At the time of publication, Big Sur is temporarily closed due to rock slides. If it’s still closed during your tour we’ll take an alternative route - no other part of the day will be missed.

Day 14 Santa Barbara - Redondo Beach.

Santa Barbara, a town favoured by artists, with an appealing harbour promenade and palm-fringed streets, makes a memorable lunch stop en route to the California coast and Redondo Beach.

Day 15 Los Angeles - In flight. We travel on to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Day 16 UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

Please note: 17 Mile Drive, Big Sur and stops in Carmel, Monterey and Santa Barbara aren’t included on these departures.

Days 11-12 San Francisco. • A sightseeing tour presents an orientation of this most cosmopolitan, liberal and attractive American city, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square and vibrant Chinatown.

The following day at leisure offers opportunities for relaxation or further exploration - perhaps independently pre-book a boat trip to notorious Alcatraz Island, or take a walk around the eclectic district of Haight-Ashbury, so beloved of ‘hippies’, artists, writers and musicians.

If you want to see California but time is limited, choose one of our shorter 14-day departures and finish your holiday in the fascinating ‘City by the Bay’. Selected dates on this tour conclude in San Francisco - instead of driving along the coast to Pismo Beach, Redondo Beach and Los Angeles, you’ll fly home from San Francisco on day 13.

One of our bestselling tours, this two-week itinerary puts the focus on the Deep South’s rich cultural heritage. As well as delving into the region’s Civil Rights history, we’ll uncover its musical roots as we visit Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans - the birthplaces of jazz, blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll. A real highlight is the evening we spend at the Grand Ole Opry - a radio show since 1925, now hosting legends and contemporaries of country, bluegrass, folk and gospel on its Nashville stage.

Day 1 UK - Atlanta. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Atlanta.

Day 2 Atlanta - Chattanooga. This morning we take a tour of the city forever associated with ‘Gone with the Wind’, including the national memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. We then journey to Chattanooga.

Day 3 Chattanooga. • Railway enthusiasts still flock to this town, which has the largest old-time steam railroad in the south. Today we board an equally exciting means of transport - The Incline Railway - which runs steeply up Lookout Mountain and affords wonderful views. The rest of the day is free.

Day 4 Lynchburg - Nashville. This morning we travel to the small town of Lynchburg to tour the Jack Daniel’s Distillery where every bottle of the famous sippin’ whiskey has been produced since 1866. After our tour we transfer to Nashville.

Day 5 Nashville. Nashville is famous as the country music capital of the world. Our morning tour introduces you to the facets of the city including Studio B and the Country Music Hall of Fame. This evening we experience live music at the Grand Ole Opry - America’s longest-running scheduled show first broadcast in 1925.

Day 6 Tupelo - Memphis. Today we travel south to Tupelo and the Elvis Presley Birthplace Museum. Later we continue to Memphis, home of Elvis Presley and WC Handy who, after publishing ‘Memphis Blues’ in 1912 followed by ‘St Louis Blues’ and ‘Beale St Blues’, became known as the ‘Father of the Blues’. We’ll have a brief orientation tour on arrival.

Day 8 Kennebunkport. Leaving the mountains behind us, there’s a dramatic change of scenery as we arrive on the rugged Maine coastline.

We’ll head to the city of Portland, where we have some time at leisure to explore the redeveloped Old Port and Arts District.

In the afternoon, we arrive at Kennebunkport.

This charming little town was the summer home of President Bush, where he hosted world leaders from Margaret Thatcher to President Gorbachev. The town has a proud shipbuilding heritage, and you’ll see plenty of grand ships in the harbour (plus some equally grand mansions, built by sea captains more than 150 years ago).

Day 9 Kennebunkport - Boston - In flight.

Following the coast south, we’ll pause in Portsmouth, the oldest settlement in New Hampshire. Wander around the historic market square and browse the independent galleries, shops and cafes.

Our final stop is Salem. A walking tour will reveal the town’s history and teach us more about the 17th-century witch trials that took place here.

From Salem, we continue our journey to the airport for your overnight return flight to the UK. Day 10 UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

Day 1 UK - New York. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to New York. On arrival, transfer to your hotel.

Day 2 New York. • We’ve arranged an orientation tour this morning that’ll take you around many of the sights you will want to examine in more detail and at your leisure later.

These include Greenwich Village, Washington Square and fashionable Soho. In Lower Midtown there is the Empire State Building itself, and over on the East River side, the impressive United Nations building.

The rest of the day is at leisure - perhaps foray into Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge to take in the iconic city skyline in all its glory; take the ferry to Staten Island for wonderful views of the proud Empire State Building as you pass; or take a leisurely stroll through Central Park, 850 acres of parkland amid the bustling city and a favourite among New Yorkers, who throng in their thousands to stroll and explore - a fantastic spot for people watching or relaxing in the sunshine.

It is the Americans who have turned shopping into an art form and, for most of them, to shop or browse is high on their list of entertainment.

Certainly such stores as Saks, Macy’s and Bloomingdales lead the way in choice and temptation. Next to Saks is the magnificent St Patrick’s Cathedral, convenient for over-enthusiastic shoppers to do penance if they have been led astray.

Day 5 New York - In flight. A whole morning to revisit some of your favourite places and do some more in-depth shopping before we transfer to the airport for our return flight to the UK. Day 6 UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

Washington Square

Be sure to take another venture to Times Square at night time, when the surreal ambience really comes to life under the artificial glow of flashing neon signs and billboards.

To escape from the bustle and buzz, why not step inside the elegant Plaza Hotel, scene to so many movies, for a pot of real tea, scones and cakes in The Palm Court.

Canada & Alaska Fancy stepping into some of the world’s greatest wildernesses, where snow-tipped mountains reflect in blue-green lakes and thick forests play host to bald eagles and bears? We make it easy for you to combine Canada’s mountain scenery with time in its cosmopolitan cities and maritime communities, as well as explore the fishing towns and wildlife reserves of Alaska - and see pods of whales cruise through glacier-edged bays.

I just love the trains in Canada! From the iconic Rocky Mountaineer, to the four-day trans-continental journey on VIA Rail’s The Canadian, these are nothing short of truly epic experiences. But it’s the combination of these amazing rail journeys with some of the most spectacular mountain ranges and world-famous cities, coupled with our luxury cruises to Alaska that should really put Canada at the very top of your ‘bucket list’. Titan has been operating tours to Canada for over 30 years – so you’ll be in good hands throughout.

Captivating vistas unfold on every turn of this trip through some of Canada and Alaska’s most mesmerising scenery. Magnificent mountains, lakes and national parks fill our first few days in Banff and Jasper. The iconic Rocky Mountaineer railway transports you through forested valleys and over mountain passes. Then on a week-long cruise, spot harbour seals, humpback whales, swooping eagles and more as you sail past the monumental glaciers and snow-dusted mountains of the Alaskan fjords. Finally, we wrap up in Vancouver, one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Day 1 UK - Calgary - Banff. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Calgary. Upon arrival, wetransfer to Banff.

Day 2 Banff (Lake Louise). Banff is regarded as one of North America’s loveliest small towns, and makes a wonderful base for exploring the scenic surrounding area. Today we head out on an excursion to Lake Louise, known as the ‘jewel of the Rockies’. Named after Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter, Lake Louise is one of Canada’s most beloved attractions and perhaps the most picturesque body of water in the world. We take a different route to and from the lake for the very best introduction to the natural glory of Banff National Park.

Day 3 Banff. • A day at leisure to enjoy Banff.

Perhaps join an optional gondola ride to Sulphur Mountain for a bird’s-eye view of six mountain ranges.

Day 6 Rocky Mountaineer (Jasper - Kamloops).

The legendary Rocky Mountaineer train is the most romantic way to appreciate the breathtaking majesty of the Canadian Rockies. We embark on the exhilarating two-day route between Jasper and Vancouver, stopping overnight in Kamloops.

Today, we’ll pass Mount Robson, the glaciers of Albreda Icefields, the Pyramid Falls and Monashee peaks.

Day 7 Rocky Mountaineer (Kamloops Vancouver). We continue our rail journey to Vancouver today, through desert-like landscapes to the lush green fields of Fraser Valley, arriving in the city this afternoon.

Day 8 Vancouver. Spend the morning at leisure in Vancouver before we board Koningsdam and set sail on our seven-day cruise late afternoon.

Day 9 Canada’s Inside Passage. Today, we take in the awe-inspiring panoramas of Canada’s Inside Passage, a peaceful and picturesque ‘marine highway’ between British Columbia’s islands and mainland. Keep an eye out for some of the local residents - harbour seals, humpback whales and swooping eagles.

Day 12 Glacier Bay National Park. This morning, you’ll wake in the midst of towering mountains, tidewater glaciers, vast icebergs and an abundance of wildlife, as we find ourselves in Glacier Bay National Park.

Day 13 Ketchikan. Ketchikan stretches like a ribbon along the shoreline below Deer Mountain.

Echoes of pioneer days still haunt the historic Creek Street area; but these days, Ketchikan is better known for its extraordinary collection of tribal totems and its salmon production.

Days 15-16 Vancouver. • After disembarking, we enjoy an orientation tour around the city’s highlights. The afternoon is then at leisure.

This cosmopolitan city is located in the heart of Tongass National Forest and nestles at the foot of towering mountains that overlook Gastineau Channel.

Day 11 Skagway. Skagway was the coastal gateway to the goldfields of the Klondike during the ‘rush’ of the late 1890s and this ‘boom town’ owes its size and prominence to those thousands of fortune-seekers on the Chilkoot Trail. In its boardwalks, pebble streets and turn-of-the-century buildings, the town has captured an ambience of those frantic times.

Beginning in leafy Boston we’ll sail along the coastline of Maine to Bar Harbor, passing sweeping beaches and pretty towns as we go. Reaching the rugged coastline of Nova Scotia, we’ll stop in its capital, Halifax, and Canada’s smallest province of Prince Edward Island. Keeping our eyes peeled for whales, we’ll sail along the mighty St Lawrence River to Québec City, to begin our discovery of eastern Canada’s picturesque cities. We’ll conclude at thundering Niagara Falls, a fitting finale to our adventure.

Day 1 UK - Boston. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Boston.

Day 2 Boston. Boston is a favourite for many, with gracious green spaces and a beautiful waterfront.

Each of Boston’s neighbourhoods has its own personality too. We’ll take a tour of the city this morning, before making our way to the pier to board Zuiderdam and sailing towards Maine.

Day 3 Bar Harbor. Today we dock in Bar Harbor, the quintessential New England coastal town.

This charming town boasts picturesque streets lined with boutiques and refined eateries.

Don’t miss the fantastic seafood, particularly the lobster.

Nearby Acadia National Park is where rocky landscapes give way to a rugged, windswept coastline, and you might like to join an excursion to explore its lakes and shoreline.

Day 4 Halifax, Canada. Arriving in Nova Scotia, our exploration of Canada begins in the maritime city of Halifax. Situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it’s a city defined by its geography and there’s a heady mix of world-class history and nautical-themed museums to take in.

Day 5 Sydney. From Sydney you can explore Cape Breton’s many natural wonders, including the scenic drive known as the Cabot Trail. Or simply explore the city itself - it’s a pleasure to wander through the mix of colourful-clad buildings.

Day 6 Charlottetown. As Canada’s smallest province, Prince Edward Island is everything you expect maritime Canada to be. Grassy bluffs swaying in the breeze and miles of beaches punctuated by striped lighthouses. Charlottetown is the island’s modest capital and its streets are lined with redbrick Victorian houses and buildings and lots of leafy parkland.

Charlottetown

To explore eastern Canada only by land or by sea is to only get half of the story. On this holiday, travellers will enjoy a really immersive, complete view of this part of the world by combining land highlights like Niagara Falls and pastoral Prince Edward County with a luxury Holland America Line cruise.

Latin America Diverse is the watchword when it comes to Latin America.

Scenery shifts from white-sand beaches and tropical jungle, to colossal canyons and pale-blue icefields; historic highlights include Mayan temples, Inca cities and colonial churches; and the wildlife roll call covers off sleepy sloths, jewel-coloured hummingbirds and tiny tree frogs.

Latin America has so much to offer in terms of variety - great wine regions, cosmopolitan cities, lake districts, national parks, fascinating cultures and much more. Wherever you choose to go, you can expect a warm welcome - the people are the friendliest and most charming of anywhere I have visited.

An island lost in time, Cuba is a decadent blend of romantic grandeur and off-beat Caribbean charm. Iconic 1950s automobiles parade through the seafront streets and rumba bars rub shoulders with centuries-old churches. Forested inland landscapes are home to tobacco plantations and rugged mountaintops, while swathes of white sand skirt the northern coast. We’ll wind through the country, uncovering its treasures as we go from Spanish colonial heritage to underground rivers.

Day 1 UK - Havana. Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Havana.

Day 2 Havana. Culture lovers will be charmed by Havana, Cuba’s bustling, atmospheric capital with the ambience of a bygone era. After breakfast, our fascinating walking tour begins through the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the faded Spanish colonial architecture is slowly being restored to its former glory. Discover a host of beautiful streets with elegant plazas, and the legendary Floridita Bar, where Ernest Hemingway famously drank daiquiris. We visit a rum factory or museum and the rest of the day is at leisure.

Dinner is at a local restaurant tonight, before witnessing the cannon firing at La Cabaña Fortress, a daily tradition to announce the historical closure of the city gates at 9pm.

Day 3 Hemingway Museum. We head to Finca Vigia, Ernest Hemingway’s home. Purchased by the American writer in 1949, the estate (whose name translates as ‘Lookout Farm’) was where he wrote many of his best-known works.

Now preserved as a museum, it provides a wonderful insight into the author’s life.

We also visit Cojimar, where Hemingway gained the inspiration for ‘The Old Man and the Sea’.

Enjoy a Cuban cocktail lesson and spend a relaxed afternoon at your leisure, before dinner at a local restaurant.

This itinerary offers the chance to see the islands whilst staying in hotels and venturing out on boat excursions during the day.

Visa procurement provider, CIBTvisas - Should you require assistance with your application, Titan Travel has partnered with CIBTvisas for this purpose. They’ll provide guidance with the required documents; complete application forms online on your behalf; review your application before it’s submitted to the respective consulate or embassy thus avoiding delays; check the issued visa; and despatch your passport securely as per your instructions. Titan Travel visa applicants receive discounted rates compared to CIBTvisas’ retail/public fees.

Travellers who are not British Citizens can also check their visa requirements at www.cibtvisas.co.uk/ titantravel and usually, CIBT can assist with most nationals who reside in the UK. Their operating hours are Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm.

Alternative visa procurement provider and other options - Other visa procurement providers are available, and it may also be possible to obtain your visa independently (sometimes at a lower cost), via the relevant country’s embassy website. Please visit the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) website, which provides up-to-date information and advice on each country’s entry requirements - www.gov. uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Please note: If you require the address of your first hotel for the purposes of your visa application, please visit www.titantravel.co.uk/mytitan for details. If you have booked through a travel agent, please contact them.

Health/fitness requirements The Department of Health offers travellers health advice at https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/countries, https://www. fitfortravel.nhs.uk/home or https://www.nhs.uk/using-thenhs/healthcare-abroad/. We strongly recommend that if you’re concerned about any health issue (including DVT) you should consult your GP. It’s essential that you have comprehensive insurance that covers you for any medical treatment or repatriation costs whilst on tour.

Immunisation/vaccinations - Immunisation and vaccination requirements can change without notice and inoculations/precautions can be specified as a condition of entry, or just as an advisory only. We’ll advise you of any destinations that stipulate compulsory inoculations as a condition of entry. For other immunisations, local conditions are subject to change and we strongly suggest that you consult your GP or one of the specialist vaccination centres for more detailed and current information at your time of travel.

Medical conditions/disabilities - In order to ensure your enjoyment on holiday, you must let us know before a booking is made if you or anyone in your party suffers from a serious medical condition or disability.

Titan Travel cannot provide individual assistance with boarding coaches or other forms of transport, luggage handling, walking or other personal requirements, etc. and customers should be confident that they can do these tasks unaided.

Some suppliers such as airlines and cruise lines may request certification from your GP to confirm that you are fit to travel. We regret that we cannot be held liable for any costs you may incur as a result. Customers must have their own collapsible wheelchair to fit through hotel/ cabin doors and must be accompanied by a travelling companion who is able to assist them. Measurements of wheelchairs and mobility aids must be given at the time of booking. Regrettably we cannot accept motorised wheelchairs or mobility aids.

Due to the historic nature and layout of some towns together with local transport regulations - particularly in Europe - access by coach to hotels and places visited may be limited. Hotels may also be located on hilly terrain. Customers are advised that a significant amount of walking at a steady pace may be involved.

Many of the places visited are extremely old and there are often cobbled streets, uneven steps and terraces.

It is important that you take extra care when walking and wear appropriate footwear. Please refer to the pace guide found in our brochures and if you have any difficulty in walking or mobility problems, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to advise you on the suitability of any particular holiday. Should your travel needs change from the time of making your booking you must advise us as soon as possible.

Accommodation Accommodation is in twin/double bedded rooms, the majority of which have private bath/shower and toilet - occasionally this will be shower and toilet only, particularly on cruise ship cabins. In rainforest, safari and desert locations, accommodation may be in lodges or campsites where standards vary and toilet facilities may not be en suite. Where we provide written details of guest room facilities in our brochures, we can’t guarantee that all rooms will be equipped as such.

Similarly, images provided in our brochures are for illustrative purposes only.

Disruption - There may be redevelopment, expansion, building or roadworks taking place in the vicinity of your hotel during your holiday, and associated noise can be unavoidable. This may occur without warning to us. If we know in advance of any impending work that could cause disturbance, we’ll make every effort to inform you as soon as possible. If you do have a complaint at your hotel or indeed for any other service, you must tell your tour manager or the hotelier who will try and solve the problem on the spot.

Quality/Star rating - The hotel ratings we show are aligned with official local ratings, where such a system exists. In countries with no official hotel grading system we have graded the hotel based on our interpretation of quality, in line with the expectations of our customers.

Local standards do vary considerably, and official local ratings should be judged in line with other hotels in the same country, rather than against UK standards.

Single rooms - Despite the fact that single rooms carry a supplement, single accommodation is not always the same size as twin/double accommodation, particularly in Europe due to the age and character of many hotels.

Single rooms may not always be in the same area of the hotel as a twin/double, and the single supplement does not necessarily mean a twin/double room will be provided for single occupancy (unless specifically stated).

Triple rooms - When booking a triple room, a third person is required to either share existing beds or an extra bed is placed in the room which can be a campstyle bed or a sofa bed. The addition of an extra bed can make accommodation cramped. Rooms with three beds may not be available at all hotels. If a bed share is not appropriate and an additional single room has to be booked, this will be charged as an extra.

Upgraded rooms - All upgraded rooms are subject to the hotel’s availability at the time of the request and are only guaranteed once we’ve confirmed this to you. The room facilities and upgrade descriptions are correct at the time of going to print.

Swimming pools - Where a hotel has a swimming pool, the period when the pool is available is at the hotelier’s discretion and is often seasonal. This may be affected by weather or essential maintenance. These situations are beyond our control.

Coaches The type and size of coach allocated will be appropriate to the group size. Single travellers are likely to be seated alongside another single traveller.

Making your own flight arrangements - Please note that if you make your own international flight arrangements and join one of our tours in the destination, Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service does not apply.

Onboard meals - On short haul flights, airlines offer minimal or no complimentary snacks or refreshments and special meal requests are rarely available.

Seating - Although every effort is made to secure seating on the aircraft to satisfy requests, we cannot guarantee that your choice of seats will be available or that seats together can always be obtained. Requests for extra legroom on aircraft are so frequently requested that it is unlikely to be available.

Meals Where meals are included in a holiday, there may be a set or table d’hote menu and as part of a group booking included meals are generally eaten together at a designated time. When a choice of menu is offered, it’s possible that you’ll have to make your meal selection in advance.

When requesting vegetarian meals or special dietary requirements, the choice can be limited. The standard of breakfast in various countries will differ to the UK. An additional charge may be made for fruit juice or for hot dishes. Continental breakfast usually consists of tea/ coffee, rolls and jam. A buffet breakfast usually consists of tea/coffee, a choice of breads, rolls or croissants, cereals, fruit, cheeses and cold meats.

Pre-bookable excursions For your convenience, our most popular optional excursions are available for you to pre-book and pay for prior to your departure. The operation of excursions can be subject to minimum numbers and favourable weather conditions. If your pre-booked excursion is cancelled for operational reasons you’ll receive a full refund on your return home.

Rail travel Our holidays featuring rail travel aren’t suitable for wheelchair users, those with walking difficulties or significant health problems. Luggage handling at train stations is generally not included and porters and trolleys may not always be readily available. You should be aware that you’re responsible for your own luggage and will be required to carry it to and from the station entrance to the trains. We therefore recommend wheeled suitcases. We can’t guarantee that your choice of seat will be available or that seats together can always be obtained. Customers on overnight services should note that accommodation is compact; twin berths are usually bunk beds.

Although we do try to provide coaches with toilets on board wherever possible, we regret that this facility cannot be guaranteed (particularly for smaller groups in smaller vehicles). It’s also possible that, in certain parts of the world, the toilet may have to remain locked at the discretion of the driver where disposal points are not easily accessible. Regular stops are made on every tour for the comfort of all on board.

Tour managers

Legal requirements regarding the use of seat belts on coaches vary from country to country. We believe Health and Safety is paramount and so we will not use any seat that does not have another directly in front of it unless a seat belt is fitted. The tour manager will continue to implement the system of seat rotation; however this may exclude certain seats where seatbelts are not fitted.

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service

Wi-Fi on board coaches (where specified) is only suitable for light internet browsing, may have a restriction on the total number of users at one time, and availability may vary as connections rely on the local signal strength of mobile networks. The service may also not be fitted to transfer coaches or those used for local services.

Flights Direct flights - Where the term ’direct flight’ is applied, this refers to a flight involving no change of aircraft; however the aircraft may make stops en route. Where a flight is indirect this will be advised to you, although airlines can still make late changes their schedules from time to time.

Flights from an airport near you - On a number of our holidays, where flight schedules allow, we offer the option to fly internationally from your local airport (subject to availability). When taking this option, your flight may not arrive at the same time as the main group, in which case it will be necessary for us to arrange a private transfer from the airport to your first hotel (and from your last hotel to the airport).

Where we state ‘Local Tour Manager’ this means that your tour manager lives or works in the region and will therefore meet you on arrival. We may use tour managers in this way in destinations where specialist local knowledge can really enhance your experience. We may substitute a UK-based tour manager for a local tour manager, or vice versa, at any time.

You’ll be advised of your pick-up time in your final documents. On rare occasions we may have to amend these times and reserve the right to do so. However, we’ll always endeavour to provide at least five days’ notice.

Only one suitcase and one standard piece of hand luggage per person will be allowed, however more luggage space is made available if you’re travelling on a cruise holiday, where your vessel sails from a UK port (not applicable if you have a UK domestic flight as part of your itinerary, due to airline restrictions). Your suitcase should conform to the following approximate dimensions: Height 58cm (23”), Length 73cm (29”), Width 25cm (10”).

Health and Safety requirements dictate that suitcases may only be stored in the luggage compartment of our vehicles. Therefore, please ensure you notify us as soon as possible on 0800 988 5811, if you’re taking more than one suitcase and a piece of hand luggage each, or any walking aid/collapsible wheelchair (and haven’t already informed us). Titan Travel reserves the right to decline carriage and must advise that, should separate or additional transport arrangements be necessary, then these will be at your own expense.

Your luggage will remain your responsibility, so please make sure you check with your driver that all your bags have been loaded and removed from the vehicle.

Weather conditions/National and local holidays Local weather conditions can impact our holidays in all countries. Likewise, local conditions or road closures may require us to take alternative routes. In both circumstances, this may result in us being unable to visit a region or sight normally included in the itinerary.

During local and national holidays certain facilities and museums may not be available.

Holiday duration The duration of holidays is described in the number of days and in all cases includes the day of departure from the UK and the day of arrival back in the UK.

Overseas standards It’s important to recognise that in certain countries standards/customs may differ from those we’re accustomed to. Restaurants and hotel services are often quite different, roads can be little more than bumpy tracks and poverty is ever-present. Energy conservation measures may mean that hotels are obliged to limit services such as air-conditioning, water and electricity.

The legal and safety requirements of some countries are of a lower standard than the UK.

Privacy and data We want all our customers to enjoy completely successful holidays. However, anyone with a medical condition or disability or a dietary/religious requirement must be aware that information supplied to us will be passed to other companies and persons who supply the various parts of our travel arrangements. The suppliers may, depending upon your choice of holiday, be based outside the UK, where controls on data protection may not be as stringent. We will not however, pass this information to any party that is not responsible for your travel arrangements.

Titan Price Promise On rare occasions we may choose to subsequently reduce the price of your holiday to below what you have already paid (after any discounts have been applied).

It is a Titan principle to reward early bookers with a fair price promise, which means if you see your holiday advertised with Titan for less than you paid for it, we’ll refund the difference to you in vouchers which can be used towards a new Titan holiday booked within two years from the date of issue (please note we’re unable to accept them for deposit payments). The Titan Price Promise applies as long as the discounted holiday is the same package offered under the same terms of sale (which means the full terms that apply to your holiday contract). In calculating any possible saving due, we’ll take into consideration all offers and discounts that were applied at the time of booking and compare the overall price that you’ve been charged with the current price.

Safety Your safety and security is our first consideration. In the event of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advising against travel to a certain country, we would act on this advice. However, we do recommend that you check their travel advice before you make a booking - https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Although we take every precaution in looking after you on tour, your responsibility for your personal safety and welfare and the care of your possessions remains as it would be whilst at home. Extra care should be taken when walking around cities, especially at night, and we recommend you stay in well lit, populated areas.

It is also wise to avoid carrying valuables or wearing expensive jewellery.

Special requests These should be advised at the time of booking.

Although we endeavour to meet special requests, this is dependent upon our suppliers and we cannot guarantee your request. We cannot accept any booking that is conditional upon a special request being met.

Travelling with children Unless otherwise specified on the tour page, we regret we cannot accept bookings for children younger than 12 years on the date of departure, as the holidays in this brochure are not suitable. Single parents or other adults travelling with children (under 18 years) should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. Further information on exact requirements can be obtained from the relevant embassy of the country/countries to be visited. Children must have their own individual British Citizen passport.

Booking conditions Your contract is with Saga Travel Group (UK) Limited (‘Titan’ or ‘we’ or ‘our’ or ‘us’). We set out below an explanation of the conditions that apply when you book a holiday with us. It is important that you read these conditions together with the holiday and cruise information in our brochure, as they not only define our obligations to you but also impose some important commitments upon you. If any part of these booking conditions is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not affect the other provisions which shall remain in full force and effect.

1. Your holiday contract When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept, and do accept on behalf of your party, the terms of these booking conditions. A contract will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. It is your responsibility to provide accurate details at the time of booking, including ensuring passenger details exactly match passport details. It is also your responsibility to check that the information on the confirmation invoice and ATOL Certificate (if relevant) is correct and includes details of everything you have booked (including flights, hotels and other services). If any of the passenger or holiday details on the confirmation invoice or ATOL Certificate (if relevant) are incorrect or incomplete, you must notify us immediately. We will pass on any additional charges incurred as a result of any details not being correct. We reserve the right to refuse to accept and/or not proceed with any booking at any time at our sole discretion. This contract is governed by English law and the jurisdiction of the English courts. You may however choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live there and wish to do so. A complaint may be referred to arbitration - see section 11.

2. Your financial protection and peace of mind.

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays.

2.1. For flight-based holidays this is through our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 11746 issued by the CAA of 45-59 Kingsway London WC2B 6TE, www.caa.co.uk, telephone 0333 103 6350, email claims@ caa.co.uk. 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 will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t 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 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.

2.2. When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight or you receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, financial protection for your package holiday or the parts that are not ATOL protected is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA – The Travel Association of 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9EQ, www.abta.com. You agree to accept that in the event of our insolvency, ABTA may arrange for the services you have bought to continue, or for a suitable alternative to be provided at the same cost as your original booking. You also agree to accept that in circumstances where the travel service supplier provides the services you have bought, 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.

2.3. In addition to the above, monies paid to Saga Travel Group (UK) Limited for flight-based holidays requiring an ATOL are protected through the operation of a CAA approved trust account controlled and administered by an independent trustee, PT Trustees Limited.

You agree that all monies you pay to us for the flight-based holiday will be paid into a separate and designated trust account and will be held there on trust for the trustees of the Air Travel Trust (or in some cases for you) pursuant to a trust deed entered into between us, PT Trustees Limited and the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust. Money paid into that trust account may only be released in accordance with the terms of the trust deed. This means that for all flight-based holidays, in the event of our insolvency, funds will be available to ensure that you are not left stranded abroad or, in the event your holiday is in the future, you will be refunded any money you have paid in advance.

Please note that items not purchased through Saga Travel Group (UK) Limited will not be protected.

3. Your holiday price Price: Advertised prices may have changed by the time you book your holiday. We will notify you of the current price prior to any booking.

We reserve the right to alter the price of any holiday, introduce supplements or correct pricing errors at any time.

After you’ve made a booking, we can only change your holiday price in certain circumstances. Changes in the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, the level of taxes or fees imposed by third parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports or exchange rates, mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. In any event, we guarantee that there will be no change to the price within 20 days of your departure (unless you amend your booking). We will also absorb, and you will not be charged for, any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes any amendment charges. You may be charged for the amount over and above that. If this results in an increase equivalent to more than 8%

90

of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel you must do so within the time period shown on your final invoice.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the cost changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our administrative expenses incurred. 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.

Titan reserves the right not to be legally bound in the case of incorrect pricing and acknowledgement of such an error does not mean acceptance of it.

Local taxes: Please note that local taxes are not included within the holiday package price and where necessary these will need to be paid locally by you.

Optional ad hoc services: We provide you with the option to specifically request extras which are in addition to or adaptions of our standard packages. Prices for optional ad hoc services such as extensions, extra accommodation, upgrades and domestic flights (‘ad hoc’ services) can vary depending on when you book. Please note that adding an ad hoc service may result in additional nonrefundable charges to our standard packages due to changes in flight dates, changes to our standard allocated accommodation periods and additional costs passed to us from third party suppliers. You will be notified of the total price of your holiday prior to booking, along with any additional or higher non-refundable deposit amount payable.

Please note that where a flight upgrade has been booked and there is a change of airline prior to your departure date it may not be possible to offer an equivalent upgrade or there may be an additional cost payable (we will refund you the difference if the upgrade with the new airline is of a lower value). In this situation, we will offer you the opportunity to revert to economy class and refund you the cost of the upgrade, pay any additional costs for the equivalent upgrade or cancel with a full refund of all monies paid. Compensation will not be payable.

4. Seamless travel from door to tour.

VIP door-to-door travel service: The majority of Titan’s VIP door-to-door transfers are not exclusive to one booking. Journeys may be undertaken via additional addresses and may involve a change of vehicle. For journeys of less than 100 miles, we may deviate from your direct route by up to 30 minutes. For journeys over 100 miles, we may deviate from your direct route by up to 60 minutes. VIP door-to-door transfers are available within mainland UK only. In the Scottish Islands and Sark where vehicle access is restricted, we invite guests to nominate a mainland address for their pick-up. At busy times of the year, we supplement this service with carefully selected, private chauffeur driven vehicles which offer the same standard transfers.

Airport meet-and-greet service: Not available on departures from some UK regional airports.

Fly from an airport near you: Local flights are subject to schedules and availability. Applicable supplements will be quoted once flight schedules become available, which may be after your initial booking date. Additional or higher non-refundable deposits may be payable for flights with low-cost airlines. Due to differing flight schedules, we may arrange a separate or private transfer from the airport to your first hotel (and from your last hotel to the airport).

Connecting flights to London: Connecting flights are subject to schedules and availability. Applicable supplements will be quoted once flight schedules become available, which may be after your initial booking date. Additional or higher non-refundable deposits may be payable for flights with low-cost airlines. Due to differing flight schedules, overnight accommodation may be required at an additional cost. It is not possible to transfer customers from Scotland to London airports by road, therefore connecting flights will be required.

Transfers to the airport, seaport or any other place of departure within the UK, where included in the price of your holiday, are a free-of-charge service.

5. Group sizes Your holiday will be cancelled if the minimum number of customers is not reached. For Small Group Tours & Ocean Cruises the minimum number of customers is 10 and for Standard Tours and River Cruises the minimum number of customers is 20. If the minimum number of customers is not reached, we will inform you or your travel agent in advance of your balance due date and you will have the option to move to an alternative date or holiday (additional costs may apply), or receive a full refund of all monies paid. See section 10 for information relating to cancellation for any other reason.

6. Paying for your holiday Unless specified otherwise, when you make your booking you must pay a deposit amount per person of £250 for short haul holidays and £395 for long haul. Please note some holidays and flights with low-cost airlines may require an additional or higher non-refundable deposit. You will be advised of any additional or higher nonrefundable deposits at the time of booking.

The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 75 days before your departure date, or as advised at the time of booking and stated on our confirmation invoice. Unless you are otherwise advised, bookings made after the balance due date (as set out above) must be paid in full at the time of booking and we cannot confirm your booking until full payment is received. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we reserve the right to cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time, we shall retain your deposit.

Low deposit offers: Occasionally, we may promote low deposit offers for a specified time period. Please note some holidays may require an additional or higher non-refundable deposit. These exceptions will be advised at the time of the booking.

Refunds: If you are entitled to any refund(s) relating to your booking, this will go to the lead passenger who made the booking, usually by the same payment method that was used to pay us. In the case of card payment, refund(s) will be made to the appropriate card account(s). Any fees incurred when making a payment will not be refunded unless we cause the cancellation. No refund is available after your departure date if you attend part of the holiday only, or vary or extend the holiday arrangements.

7. If you change your booking.

If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example, your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be from the person who made the

booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £25 per person, and any further cost we may incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should therefore contact us as soon as possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements (for example, flights with low-cost airlines) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

Transferring your booking: You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing at least 7 days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer.

8. If you cancel your holiday You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices and the cancellation will be effective from the date it is received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges as per the table at the end of these booking conditions, or as advised by your sales consultant (see also the exception below). Please note that any additional or higher non-refundable deposits paid will be included in the cancellation charges set out in the table at the end of these booking conditions or advised by your sales consultant. Should cancellation occur before your balance due date, the cancellation charge will, therefore, be loss of deposit plus any additional and/or higher non-refundable deposit paid. You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances.

Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances means a situation that is, in our opinion, beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, Government action or restraint, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, low or high water levels, adverse weather conditions including hurricanes, epidemics, health risks, unavoidable technical problems with transport, damage and accidents from machinery or engines and closed or congested airports. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated and for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

Notes: (i) If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. (ii) If one person sharing a twin/double or triple room or cabin should cancel, the remaining participants would then be required to pay the relevant single supplement or forfeit the triple reduction.

9. If we change your booking We plan the holiday arrangements many months in advance and, although unlikely, we may need to make changes. It is a term of your booking that we are able to make changes to any aspect of your booking. If the change is insignificant, we will ensure that you are notified about it. Examples of insignificant changes include, but are not limited to, changes to airline carriers; changes to aircraft type; alterations of your onward/return flights which do not result in a change to date of departure; change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard; flights becoming indirect; closure of hotel facilities for improvement; building works; changes to advertised amenities; changes to itineraries; changes to included and optional excursions and entertainment. Please note we will not pay compensation or offer alternative options if we make an insignificant change.

If, before departure, we have to significantly alter any of the main characteristics of the travel services that make up your holiday package, you will have the rights set out below.

9.1. We will contact you and you will have the choice of accepting the change or having a refund of all monies paid. You can also accept an alternative holiday, where we offer one. If the alternative holiday is of a lower value, we will refund any price difference. If the alternative holiday is of a higher value, you will be required to pay the additional amount.

We will tell you the procedure for making your choice. Please read any notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled.

9.2. If you choose to accept a refund, we will pay compensation as per the table at the end of these booking conditions except where the significant change is due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights.

Examples of significant changes include, but are not limited to, a significant change of resort or holiday duration, where your stay is for 3 nights or more; a change of accommodation to that of a lower category for 3 nights or more; a change in departure date; a change of departure airport (except between London airports, between Birmingham and East Midlands airports, between Sheffield, Doncaster, Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports, or between Liverpool and Manchester or between airports in Scotland) or your cruise being cancelled by the cruise company or shipping line.

Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses you may incur from arrangements you have made with any other party or parties.

10. If we cancel your holiday.

We reserve the right to cancel your booking. We will not cancel after the balance due date, except for Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances or a failure by you to pay the final balance. If your holiday is cancelled (for reasons other than a failure by you to pay the final balance) you can either have a full refund of all monies paid or, where available, accept an offer of alternative comparable travel arrangements. We will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value.

Please also see section 11 above on ABTA. 13. Additional assistance If you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday and ask us to help we will provide appropriate assistance, in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance; and helping you to find alternative arrangements and any necessary phone calls/emails.

14. Our liability to you We are responsible for the proper performance of all travel services included in this package. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this package. If any of the travel services included in your package are not performed in accordance with the contract, or are improperly performed, by us or the travel service suppliers, and this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements, you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both.

We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services is due to: you or any member of your party; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. Except in cases involving death, injury or illness, the liability of Titan and any company within the group of companies which Titan is part of (including its employees, agents and subcontractors) shall be limited to a maximum of three times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: (a) the contractual terms of the companies that provide the travel services that make up your package. These terms are incorporated into this booking; and (b) any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of and conditions under which compensation can be claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of the extent of or the conditions under which compensation is to be paid under these or any conventions.

Copies of the travel service contractual terms or the international conventions shall be provided on request. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004), 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 will be publicised at EU airports and available from airlines. If you are unhappy with your airline’s response you may complain to the Civil Aviation Authority (Telephone 020 7453 6888 or visit www.caa.co.uk/passengers). Please note that reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in these booking conditions. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline or any other service provider will be deducted. You agree to assign to Titan any rights that you may have against a third party or person which have caused or contributed to our legal liability to you or which result in us incurring costs on your behalf. You agree that you will provide us and/or our insurers, with all reasonable assistance to pursue a claim against any third party or person.

If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday. Note: this entire section 14 does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into whilst on holiday (for example, for excursions, entertainment, amenities, activities, other tours, meals and other purchases).

15. Your responsibilities (i) Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates.

We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. (ii) You are responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your party.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your booking or to remove you or a member of your party from any tour or holiday if, in our view, your demeanour or behaviour, or that of a member of your party, is disruptive, dangerous, antisocial or annoying to other people. In such an event, no compensation or refund will be payable and you will be liable to pay any additional expenses reasonably incurred in arranging the curtailment. (iii) You are responsible for the carriage and care of your luggage throughout your holiday except for such times as it may be in the hands of an airline; where in such circumstances the airline’s specific terms and conditions relating to the carriage of baggage will apply. Please ensure that your luggage is loaded on to all transport and be careful to take the correct luggage with you when you leave any mode of transport. (iv) You must comply with the terms and conditions of the third party suppliers of any travel services that form part of the package. Failure by you to observe such terms and conditions

which are incorporated into this contract and available upon request may affect any compensation or liability we may have towards you.

16. Mobility and Assistance.

The cruise ships we use have a limited number of cabins adapted for use by those with restricted mobility and are limited as to the number of disabled passengers or passengers with reduced mobility that they can carry. We reserve the right to refuse the carriage of any person if carrying such a passenger would breach any applicable safety requirement or law. We also reserve the right to refuse carriage if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment would make carriage unsafe or not operationally feasible. We reserve the right to require that a disabled passenger or a person of reduced mobility is accompanied by another fare paying person capable of providing assistance to ensure compliance with any applicable safety requirement or law or if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment means that a disabled passenger or person of reduced mobility cannot be carried in a safe or operationally feasible manner without the assistance of another person. Please note that personal daily care cannot be provided by any member of the ship’s staff.

Please advise us at the time of booking if you or any member of your party has reduced mobility, requires a specially adapted cabin or would require assistance in an emergency, or as soon as possible before departure should there be a change in circumstances. This is essential for travel by sea or inland waterways, as a risk assessment may need to be carried out prior to your departure. If you do not inform us of such a condition, we will not be liable if an airline or cruise line refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger. In the same respect, for land-based holidays we need to be made aware of any special requirements that may affect your holiday as our representatives will only be able to provide support in an emergency.

Under European law, if you are disabled or have difficulty moving around, you can receive assistance when you fly. This free service is available to anyone with mobility problems, for example, because of your disability, age or a temporary injury. To take full advantage of the service you need to book at least 48 hours in advance of your flight.

Please contact us as soon as possible prior to your departure. Please note that we reserve the right at any time to ask passengers to produce medical evidence of their fitness to travel (including submission of a medical certificate certifying suitability of the holiday).

17. Holiday Information Delays: If you are delayed at point of departure, we will do our best to arrange meals plus accommodation on overnight delays.

Any optional activities (for example, excursions, entertainment, activities, amenities, other tours,) meals or other purchases (‘Optional Extras’) that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holidays are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For all Optional Extras, your contract will be with the operator/supplier of the Optional Extra and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the Optional Extra or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator/supplier. We cannot guarantee that the Optional Extras will be available during your holiday and they will only operate if a sufficient number of people wish to take part. Optional Extras are sold subject to the laws and the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the country or state where purchased. We have included them in brochures and on the website to illustrate your choice, not as a recommendation to take part. Tour managers and local representatives are instructed not to act as agents in booking any alternative activities other than those approved by us. Any assistance they may offer at your request does not imply that they have acted as an agent or that these activities have been approved and offered for sale by us.

Actual seat numbers on flights booked by us cannot be guaranteed as there may be changes for airline operational, safety or security reasons. However, the airline will where possible re-accommodate your seats together and match your seating preferences. Where this is not possible, we will refund any applicable seating charges paid to us for the flights affected.

We will advise you with your holiday confirmation of any vaccinations that are required as a condition of entry to the country(ies) that you are visiting. We recommend that you consult your doctor at least 12 weeks before departure, and they will advise you about any other vaccinations required. You may wish to refer to government health advice for your destination at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice or call the 24-hour phone line 0845 850 2829 – calls cost 4p per minute with BT; other network prices may vary.

EU Banned Carriers List: In accordance with EU Directive (EC) no.

2111/2005, Article 9, we are required to bring to your attention the existence of a ‘Community List’ which contains details of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EU Community. The Community list is available for inspection at: https://ec.europa.eu/ transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office provides up-to-date advice and safety information for British nationals travelling abroad. For the latest travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, please visit gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice.

18. Medical Information You are responsible for ensuring that you declare any existing medical conditions, disabilities or mobility restrictions affecting you or a member of your party which may require assistance before you book your holiday or, if newly diagnosed after booking, immediately after diagnosis and no later than 48 hours before departure. If there is a change in your medical condition (or that of a member of your party) or you (or a member of your party) develop a new medical condition, please call us as soon as possible. This is essential for all bookings. For travel by sea or inland waterways, a risk assessment may need to be carried out to confirm if your carriage is possible prior to your departure. If you do not inform us of such matters as set out above, we will not be liable if a transport provider refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger.

For cruises, women who are up to 24 weeks pregnant by the end of the holiday are required to provide a medical certificate of fitness to

travel. We cannot carry passengers who will be 24 weeks or more pregnant at the end of the holiday. We reserve the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse travel if we and/or the Master of the ship are not satisfied that you will be safe during your holiday. The doctors aboard the ships (if any) may not be qualified to deliver babies on board, or to offer pre or postnatal treatment, and no responsibility is accepted by Titan in respect of the ability to provide such services or equipment.

For air travel, you are subject to the terms and conditions of your airline, who will have its own policies. Please let us know if you are pregnant or become pregnant prior to departure.

19. Insurance A condition of your booking is that you’re suitably insured for your trip which must include COVID-19 cover. We strongly recommend this is purchased as close to your booking date as possible, to cover you for any unforeseen cancellations. You must notify us of your insurance details no later than 4 months prior to departure, failure to do so means we will not allow you to travel and will treat your holiday as cancelled with the applicable cancellation fee being charged. You must be adequately insured for all your needs to cover all contingencies such as medical expenses, repatriation, and baggage cover. While on holiday, should you choose to take part in any activity which can be deemed as being of a hazardous nature (for example, hang gliding, hot air ballooning, white-water rafting, etc.), it is essential to ensure that cover is provided under the terms of your travel insurance. If you are in doubt, you should contact your insurer.

The organisers of some adventure activities that you may choose to take part in whilst on holiday may request that you to sign a waiver of their liability for risks involved. We must draw your attention to the fact that by signing such a document you may well lose any rights to claim for damages in respect of death, injury, or loss of or damage to property even if negligence on the part of the activity organiser is proven to have occurred.

20. Data Protection Any personal data that you provide will be held securely and for the purpose you have provided it, in accordance with data protection legislation. We may need to disclose personal data to a third party including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for the purpose of providing your holiday. In addition, your data may be disclosed to regulatory bodies or public authorities such as customs or immigration for the purposes of monitoring and/or enforcing compliance with any regulatory rules/codes; and it may be used for marketing, offering renewals, research and statistical purposes and crime prevention.

Where Titan has obtained your permission to do so, they will also contact you by post, telephone, email or other means to tell you about offers, products and services that may be of interest to you. At any time, you can opt out of receiving such information, revise the products you would like to hear about or change the method they use to communicate with you.

Note: We are committed to the ongoing training of our staff and this may involve the recording of telephone conversations.

21. Advance Registrations You are able to secure your place on your desired holiday before the general release date with a refundable deposit of £50 per person. As soon as we are able to finalise your holiday plans, we will contact you to provide all the necessary details and collect any additional deposit. A contract will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. Should you decide against travelling on this holiday prior to receiving our confirmation invoice or if we are unable to confirm your chosen holiday, your deposit is fully refundable.

22. Travel Agents When you buy a flight-based holiday, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by them, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on our behalf at all times.

23. Brexit.

Please be aware that some travel services could be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union.

Examples of this could include the inability of airlines to operate flights (including the loss or restriction of rights in respect of transit, air traffic or entry into an airspace), an unavailability of some flight routes, changes to the visa requirements of British citizens and limited or no access to certain airports and ports. If we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected, we will let customers know as soon as possible. However, as this situation is extraordinary and outside of our control, we would treat any such changes or cancellations as being due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses customers may incur in these circumstances. We strongly encourage customers to take out travel insurance to cover consequential losses and expenses.
