Our hotels We’re renowned for promoting the best four and five-star luxury hotels and our hotels have a good selection of room types and suites, so you can choose between standard, sea or ocean views, interconnecting, family-style, specially adapted; even ultra-luxury with butlers in attendance!

Dining & all inclusive Flexible dining encourages you to alternate between your hotel and local restaurants.

You can book and pay for as many, or as few, hotel evening meals as you wish; simply decide on specific nights when you arrive.

Some hotels offer all inclusive packages which normally include all meals and drinks plus children’s clubs and non-motorised sports although, as all inclusive options vary, it’s wise to check with us beforehand as to what’s actually included.

Flexible flying We book flights from any UK or Irish airport so you have the option to choose the dates and holiday duration to suit you. We’re happy to book scheduled, charter and lowcost airlines; even private jets for the utmost privacy. And, where available, we can book cabin upgrades, priority boarding, pre-allocated, extra legroom and premium seating, plus in-flight meals and additional luggage.

Welcome to Morocco Just a four hour flight from the UK, Morocco encapsulates the exoticism of far more distant lands. The towering Rif and Atlas Mountains proved historically to be an impenetrable barrier to successive invaders, thereby preserving the lifestyle and language of an indigenous Berber population who have added a richness and unique cultural depth to this North African

Morocco is a mountainous and surprisingly green country of outstanding natural beauty, where the dazzling peaks of the Atlas give way to the silent shifting sands of the Sahara desert, and the gently undulating hills of Eucalyptus and Argana trees succumb to long ribbons of golden sand on the Atlantic coast.

Ramadan In 2020 the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan will be observed from 23 April to 23 May which might be an incentive or a deterrent to people wishing to travel. Some restaurants in resort areas might close for the month, but the evening and night time celebrations, particularly from the end of the second week onwards are particularly lively and colourful.

Traditional riads Within the walls of Morocco's ancient cities a large number of former Moroccan merchant's homes have been beautifully converted into small riads of great charm and character providing delightful retreats.

In a country where it is not acceptable for a rich man to flaunt his wealth, riads have a modest exterior. A covered passageway leads to an interior courtyard where silence is only broken by the sounds of a fountain in a central courtyard. Lounges and dining areas, open on one side, are built off the courtyard which is overlooked by the upper storeys onto whose suspended corridors the bedrooms open out, and roof terraces offer areas for dining al fresco, boasting great views into the medina below.

Agadir Agadir, as Morocco’s premier beach resort, delivers all you could expect of a modern, well-planned resort offering a wonderful year-round climate and 10km of fine, golden sands neighbouring the Atlantic ocean.

Tangier Tangier sits at the northern tip of Morocco where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea and guarding the narrow Strait of Gibraltar the city has for centuries been known as Europe’s gateway to Africa; on a clear day the Spanish coast can be spotted.

Discover Morocco Morocco lies at the doorstep of Europe just 14km south of the Spanish mainland and is a country of wonderful diversity. From the magnificent and splendid Imperial Cities to ancient walled tow^ns and traditional Berber villages, and from the fertile valleys of the High Atlas to the arid Saharan desert, and snow-capped mountain ranges to sun-drenched beach resorts there is plenty to explore and experience in this most exotic of destinations. Hiring a local guide can be a good option to discover more of this fascinating country, especially in the, sometimes bewildering, souks and medinas and from Marrakech, a driver/guide can be arranged to take you further afield if you’d like to experience the High Atlas Mountains or the Imperial Cities of Fez, Meknes and Rabat; some of which are also accessible by train.

Chefchaouen

This is an exhilarating country where the miasma of cultural opportunities includes multitudes of historic monuments and buildings plus a plethora of mesmerising medinas and souks.

Additionally, Morocco offers everything from a bit of gentle swimming in the hotel pool or lazing in the spa, to the more active pursuits of mountain biking, trekking, horse riding and tennis, plus there are some impressive golf courses, watersports

available along the coast, and cookery schools are growing in popularity for those wishing to learn more about the art of preparing Moroccan cuisine.

Although one of the best ways to fully appreciate the country’s spectacular scenery must be to engage the services of a local guide and mule for a day’s trekking through the mountains and valleys of the High Atlas.

Marrakech Few cities enjoy such a vibrant and intoxicating atmosphere as heady Marrakech so why not combine a delightful few days in this culturally exciting city with the peace and tranquillity and slower traditional Berber way of life enjoyed in our mountain hideaways in the nearby High and Middle Atlas.

Few cities in the world enjoy such a dramatic setting and exhilarating atmosphere as Marrakech where the rose-pink walls of the ancient city sit low beneath the soaring peaks of the Atlas Mountains and the fronds of towering palm trees jostle for position above the medieval ramparts where nesting storks colonise each vacant turret. One of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities, Marrakech was founded in 1062 and is today still the commercial centre for the High Atlas and the Moroccan Sahara. An exciting and lively city, it boasts a vibrant medina listed as an UNESCO World Heritage site, vast souks considered by many to be the best in Morocco, numerous historic monuments, luxurious riads and tranquil, exotic gardens providing a welcome respite. In great contrast to the ancient medina is the heart of modern Marrakech, Gueliz, with its wide boulevards, modern hotels, upmarket shops and restaurants and smart pavement cafés.

Around a 20 minute drive from Djemaa el Fna square lies the peaceful oasis Palmeraie where around 150,000 palm trees ensures a lush and spacious setting for a selection of luxurious hotels.

18

Djemaa el Fna Marrakech has attracted visitors for centuries and Djemaa el Fna square is the focal point to which tribes and travellers have been drawn since ancient times. Each day, as the shadow of the elegant Koutoubia minaret lengthens towards the square, the carnival begins and an extraordinary collection of Berber musicians, snake-charmers, fortune tellers, fire eaters and dancers gather to entertain the ever shifting circles of mesmerised onlookers. During the day, wander for hours through the seemingly infinite souks and enjoy a refreshing mint tea on the terrace of a pavement café whilst waiting for the colourful pageant to unfold.

Medina & souks A multitude of souks are found in the intricate maze of the vibrant medina where the heady scent of the spice stalls, the din of the carpet auctions and the bustle of the crowds, creates an exciting atmosphere.

Souk des Teinturiers, the dyers’ souk, is strung with brightly coloured wools and silks, Souk Zrabia, the former slave market, trades in beautiful carpets, and Souk des Babouches

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113

specialises in traditional Moroccan slippers.

There is a large covered street market, Kissaria, a leather market for bags, boots, sandals and jackets, and numerous souks selling pretty much anything you can think to buy and wish to haggle for!

Mountain hideaways The High Atlas is North Africa’s greatest mountain range boasting soaring peaks, evocative Kasbahs, lush valleys and terraced hillsides dotted with Berber settlements where locals continue to lead a delightfully traditional way of life. For those favouring tranquillity in an off the beaten track setting, the valleys and villages of the High Atlas are ideal. About an hour’s drive from Marrakech, and in wonderful contrast to the city, is the fertile Ourika Valley where Kasbah Bab Ourika perches majestically at the apex of the valley, the busy little town of Asni is the gateway to the Toubkal Massif, the highest peaks of the High Atlas, and set in the surrounding foothills is the Kasbah Angour and Sir Richard Branson’s magical retreat, the luxurious Kasbah Tamadot with its beautiful lush gardens and magnificent views.

Sightseeing

Koutoubia Minaret The city’s most notable landmark, the extraordinary 12th century Koutoubia Minaret, towers above Djemaa el Fna at a height of nearly 70m. Named after the Kutubiyin, manuscript sellers who laid out their wares in the square, it is the oldest and most complete of three great 12th century Almohad minarets: the others being Hassan Tower, Rabat, and Giralda, Seville.

Ben Youssef Medersa

Saadian Tombs

This former 14th century theological college housing more than 130 student ‘cells’ was the largest medersa in Morocco, originally built to rival the colleges in Fez. Influenced by Andalucian architectural styles, it is beautifully decorated with intricately carved cedar wood and mosaic tiling.

Fez Magical and fascinating, the one-time capital of Morocco and the oldest of its imperial cities, Fez is one of the best-preserved medieval Islamic cities in the world. Its vast old medina, Fez el Bali, is filled with outstanding Islamic architecture and artistry, its 9th century university and mosque houses the world’s oldest library, and the local gastronomy is highly acclaimed.

Xx

Together with Meknes, Rabat and Marrakech, Fez (Fes) is one of Morocco’s four imperial cities and regarded as the cultural and spiritual heartland of Morocco as for centuries the city has attracted intellectuals, poets and musicians in large numbers. The city is divided into three areas; historic Fez el Bali (Old Fez) founded in the 8th century by Moulay Idriss II is set within the ancient city walls; the 13th century Fez el Jdid (New Fez) built by the Merenid sultans just outside the city walls and containing the Royal Palace and the Jewish quarter; the modern city, Ville Nouvelle, complete with wide, tree-lined avenues filled with shops, cafés and restaurants, was created by the French during the 20th century. An atmospheric city

with a rich and vibrant history it boasts the oldest tannery in the world in the Choura quarter, the oldest higher education institution in the world, the 9th century Kairaouine University, and, as well as Fez el Bali laying claim to being the largest car-free urban zone in the world, it is also the oldest and largest medina in Morocco.

Medina & souks Enclosed within the ancient city walls, the sprawling Fez el Bali medina may be an historical, UNESCO-listed site but it’s also a living, thriving city and home to skilled craftsmen and artisans and a good number of the city’s population, going about their daily lives in a style that has existed for more than a 1,000 years. As well as private residences, traditional riads-turned-hotels, mosques, madrasas, beautiful fountains and lively squares there’s a multitude of vibrant souks within this complex labyrinthine maze of more than 9,000 alleyways, all of which creates an intoxicating atmosphere with its cacophony of sounds and bustle of the crowds. There’s the heady scents and aromas of the spice and perfume market, Souk el Attarine, the brightly coloured swathes of cotton and wool hanging out to

dry at the dyer’s souk, Souk de Teinturiers, and the unique tanneries with its vats of dyes offering a remarkable sight (and smell). The area is completely free of cars, and donkeys are used for carting goods, along what sometimes seems like impossibly narrow alleys.

Cuisine & cookery courses Fassi cuisine is refined, diverse and heavily influenced by the culinary legacy of the Arabs, Moors, Ottoman Turks and the French, resulting in an exotic blend of flavours; B’stilla, a flaky pastry pie filled with pigeon and almonds and flavoured with aromatic saffron, cinnamon and coriander is one of the highlights.

Kairaouine Mosque & University Founded in the 9th century the Kairaouine University is the oldest known university in the world, and the mosque one of Africa’s largest, accommodating up to 20,000 worshippers. Although nonMuslims may not enter the mosque its gates allow a glimpse of its interior courtyard and ornate doorways.

Choura Tannery The 11th century Choura Tannery offers one of the city’s most iconic sights, with its numerous dried-earth vats filled with dyes and liquids ready for hides to be treated and dyed using century-old processes.

Royal Palace Although not open to visitors the Royal Palace has the most beautiful exterior with seven magnificent bronze gates surrounded by magnificent zellige tilework and carved cedar wood.

Essaouira & Agadir Morocco is perfect for two centre holidays. Spend a few days soaking up the culture in vibrant, bustling Marrakech, then enjoy another few days soaking up the sun, relaxing in delightfully charismatic Essaouira or wellknown, popular Agadir. Both boast beautiful beaches and sparkling blue Atlantic waters.

Essaouira

Agadir

Essaouira

Agadir

Essaouira is a delightfully charismatic coastal town popular with international travellers and city dwellers from Casablanca and Marrakech. Above the medieval battlements of its medina, the whitewashed, blue shuttered houses look out over an arc of perfect golden sand towards the Atlantic and the bustling harbour. Inside the city walls, the coastal breeze threads its way through a maze of streets and alleyways where art galleries, antique shops, smart boutiques, excellent seafood restaurants and serious surf shacks for the keen windsurfing fraternity, sit alongside market stalls, barbers and traditional workshops. It’s relaxing and enchanting, and Essaouira offers an easygoing holiday experience.

Morocco's premier beach resort, Agadir, is a modern, well planned resort with a wonderful year round climate and 10km of sandy beaches neighbouring the Atlantic Ocean.

The original town of Agadir has been completely rebuilt after the devastating effects of an earthquake back in 1960 although there are still the ruins of a 16th century Kasbah standing guard over the modern port offering lovely views over the bay and along the coast. Gardens and parkland separate the residential areas from the hotels which border tree lined promenades, boulevards and the beach, and there are numerous restaurants, cafés, bars and nightclubs, as well as a huge

Lunch is included and there's time to sunbathe, swim and try a little fishing.

Marrakech From Agadir, a full day tour to the Imperial City of Marrakech takes in numerous historical monuments and sites, the medina and its souks, plus the famous and exotic Djemaa el Fna square with its extraordinary collection of Berber musicians, snake charmers, fortune tellers, fire eaters and dancers gathering to entertain the ever shifting circles of mesmerised onlookers.

Taroudant

Essaouira

A 90 minute drive from Agadir in the Souss valley is the ancient and traditional red-ochre walled city of Taroudant. Once the capital of the Saadian dynasty it boasts impressive medieval ramparts, bustling souks and an old kasbah quarter with a 19th century palace transformed into a hotel.

Tafraoute A delightfully scenic tour into the Anti Atlas Mountains passes abandoned Kasbahs and Palmeraies and adobe style villages clinging to the mountain slopes.

Nestling in the enchanting Ameln Valley is Tafraoute, a village of pink granite rock standing amidst almond tree plantations and date palm groves.

Tafraoute

Golf Mild winters and hot summers tempered by cooling ocean breezes make Agadir perfect for golf and there are four courses available, including the stunning 36 hole Le Soleil Golf Club, and for players of all abilities, the 27 hole Les Dunes Golf Club. In Essaouira the 18 hole Golf Mogador, designed by Gary Player and surrounded by dunes, forest and the ocean, provides a haven for the golfing enthusiast.

Essaouira’s Skala de la Ville The walk along the top of the impressive ramparts guarding the approach to the harbour in Essaouira boasts fabulous views over the medina and out towards the ocean. Below, built into the sea wall, are wood workshops producing wonderful pieces of work from the local Thuya hardwood, and souks offering some very fine traditional handicrafts.

Tangier Tangier sits at the northern tip of Morocco where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea and guarding the narrow Strait of Gibraltar the city has for centuries been known as Europe’s gateway to Africa; on a clear day the Spanish coast can be spotted.

In 1912 the city was turned into an International Zone and free port governed by a commission of foreign diplomats attracting European and American expatriates, exiles and adventurers; by the early 1950s the city’s foreign communities accounted for nearly half the population.

During the war the city was a hothouse for international espionage and intrigue, and in the 1950’s it acquired a reputation for extravagance and an ‘anything goes’ attitude until Tangier once again became part of Morocco in 1956. Since 1999 the city has undergone something of a renaissance and has been transformed into a vibrant, cosmopolitan and modern Mediterranean beach resort, yet retaining its historic, enduring charm and authenticity.

The city Place de France is at the centre of the modern quarter, Ville Nouvelle, with the treelined Boulevard Pasteur home to bustling cafés and restaurants and Rue de la Liberte leading to the Grand Socco square set in front of the Bab Fass entrance to the medina. The city’s walled medina with its multitude of souks sits on the hillside above the harbour and is a maze of narrow streets and alleys. The Silversmiths’ Street leads from the Grand Socco to the Petit Socco square, the 17th century Kasbah perched on a clifftop above the sea occupies the highest point and the former Sultan’s Palace is home to a museum focusing on the area’s history.

Nearby the Mendoubia Gardens provides a green oasis for strolling in the afternoon sun and the wide town beach is a popular spot in summer. The most noted religious buildings include St Andrew’s Church and the historic Grand Mosque, whilst the American Legation is a noteworthy museum and cultural centre.

A city loved by artists and writers, Tangier has been, and still is, home to a large creative community; the bookshop Libraire des Colonnes, a Tangier institution since 1949,

was a favourite haunt of some of the greatest writers of the 20th century including Samuel Beckett. The famous French painter Henri Matisse spent time at Grand Hotel Villa de France; room 35 has been preserved in his honour. Tangier Inn was the famous hangout of the beat generation, Café Hafa attracted the likes of Sean Connery and the Rolling Stones in the sixties, whilst the legendary, revamped 1930s Cinema Rif and café is now part of the city’s new cultural scene. Autumn is a good time to visit with the Tangier Jazz Festival taking place in September.

Further afield Popular day trips include pretty Tetouan with its ancient UNESCO-listed medina, the mountain town of Chefchaouen with its sleepy, laid back atmosphere, beautiful blue buildings and excellent native handicrafts and the charming, coastal town of Asilah complete with an impressive kasbah and an easy to navigate medina.

Booking conditions OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU 1. Provision of your holiday We will arrange for the provision to you of the services which make up the inclusive holiday as confirmed to you.

These services will be provided either directly by us or by independently contracted suppliers.

When you, or your travel agent, ask for your holiday booking to be confirmed, we allocate your chosen holiday to you and give confirmation of the booking at that moment. It is then that a firm contract exists between you and Classic Collection Holidays Limited (Registered in England no. 1512421) on the basis of these booking conditions. This also acts as your acceptance of our booking conditions and your holiday is secured from that moment.

If your holiday includes flight arrangements, you will be issued with an ATOL certificate immediately and, in any event, you will receive a holiday confirmation invoice verifying the details. All holidays and offers, including but not limited to Classic Value offers, advertised in the brochure are subject to availability and are as confirmed to you by telephone or on your Holiday Confirmation Invoice.

2. Your holiday price A. When you book All prices, supplements and offers shown in this brochure are based on costs at time of printing (28 June 2019) although we reserve the right to amend all prices, supplements and offers (up or down) when we receive notification of new costs. Hotels practice fluid pricing which means that costs may significantly increase during periods of high demand. Classic Value may not be available where we have exceeded our contractually pre-allocated rooms at certain hotels. Prices in this brochure include airline rates applicable at the time of printing and are subject to change.

The government charges a levy to cover financial protection in the event of an airline failure and we automatically add this to your invoice total at the booking stage. Once you have confirmed your holiday booking, the price is protected subject to clause 2D of these booking conditions. Please note that not all hotel features detailed are complimentary, and some are subject to seasonal demand.

B. VAT and Exchange rates Our VAT Registration number is 503 944 749 and all prices quoted in this brochure include VAT where relevant (at 20% at time of going to press). The brochure prices of holidays were calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 5 June 2019 in relation to the following currencies: Euro 1.1278, US Dollar 1.2737 and Moroccan Dirham 12.0301.

Please note a) these rates are not comparable with note or tourist rates which are quoted in national newspapers b) hotel costs, transfers, resort representation, excursions, local taxes and part of the flight cost are typically paid in the currency of your holiday destination country. Aviation fuel is paid in US Dollars. All of these costs are affected by changes in the cost of buying foreign currency, as per exchange rates listed above. We reserve the right to increase our prices in accordance with these booking conditions.

C. Price Promise If you can find the same flight inclusive holiday at a cheaper price at the time that you book, we undertake to match the price and will give an additional £10 per adult saving off any competitor’s price. In order to take advantage of our Price Promise, the component parts of the relevant holiday must be identical and we reserve the right to request confirmation in writing of the relevant competitor’s holiday price. Our Price Promise cannot be actioned retrospectively after a booking has been made, and it is only available on new bookings made during the validity of this brochure. Unfortunately we cannot always match prices where we believe our competitors have made a pricing error or where they are offering the holiday arrangements at a price below their operating costs. If a competitor’s price is greater than

56

£150 per adult and/or £50 per child below our price, we deem one of these two scenarios to be true and will not honour our Price Promise.

D. Surcharges (after booking) Once you have booked, the price of your holiday travel arrangements may be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator or organiser, and also in respect of government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, and any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. For larger variations, this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission.

In the unlikely event that this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your holiday travel arrangements, you may cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice.

E. Tourist tax Some regions and cities impose a tourist tax. Amounts often vary between region and hotel star rating and often are payable by customers locally on departure from their hotel.

Tourist taxes may be introduced or changed without prior notice and our reservations team are happy to advise current rates where applicable.

3. If your booking is changed It is unlikely that your booking will have to be changed, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance, therefore we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes are very minor, but where they are major, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure.

A major change is one that is made to a major part of your holiday arrangements before departure, such as a change of your departure airport (except between London airports), resort area or time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering accommodation with a lower category rating. If we have to make a major change you have the choice of the following: A accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you, B purchasing another available holiday from us, or C cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. Additionally, if we make a major change after you have paid the full balance of your holiday and you accept A, B or C you will be entitled to compensation on the scale shown below.

Period before scheduled departure within which a major change is notified to you or your travel agent:

Compensation per adult

More than 56 days 43-56 days 29-42 days 15-28 days 0-14 days

Nil £20 £30 £40 £50

Important note Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by reason of war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, or other circumstances that may amount to force majeure.

4. If your holiday is cancelled We reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all money you have paid us or will offer you an alternative holiday of comparable standard to purchase. In no case, except for those beyond our control, will your holiday be cancelled after the balance is paid and in such cases compensation will be paid per clause 3.

5. What happens to complaints Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be settled amicably may be referred to arbitration if the customer so wishes, under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. The ABTA scheme provides for a relatively simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer with regards to cost. Under the scheme, customers must pursue their claim within 12 months of the date of return from their holiday. (Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the Company agrees, although the ABTA scheme does not require such agreement). The scheme does not apply to claims for amounts greater than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking, neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences.

However, the scheme can deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a per person limit of £1,500 on the personal injury or illness element of the claim. Full details can be provided by us or www.abta.com 6. Our responsibility for your holiday We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of the inclusive holiday, limited to items included on confirmation invoice, and subject to the paragraph entitled Air Passenger Rights below, are supplied to you as described in this brochure and to a reasonable standard. If any such part is not provided to your satisfaction due to the fault of our employees, agents, or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday (see Important note in paragraph 3 above). Our liability in this respect is limited to a maximum of three times the value of the holiday. We must ask you however, to be patient and understanding in the event of unforeseen alterations to your holiday made by our suppliers over whom we have no direct control.

Air Passenger Rights Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and 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 paragraph 3. If your airline does not comply with these rules you can make a complaint via the Civil Aviation Authority www.CAA.co.uk 7. Excursions (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of the holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract is with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us and we are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision.

8. Personal Injury (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure and that the suppliers of the various services which will be provided to you as part of the inclusive holiday are efficient, safe and reputable businesses, and that they comply with the local and national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those services. We have no direct control over the provision of services to customers by suppliers.

However, subject to the Notes below, we will pay to our customers the equivalent of such damages as they would be entitled to receive under English law in an English Court for any personal injury to the customer, including illness

any airport I any airline I any day & duration

or death, caused by the negligence, as understood in English Law, of the servants or agents of ourselves or of any of our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by us to provide any part of the arrangements for your holiday as described in this brochure. With regard to 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 compensation that you can claim 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 compensation contained in these or any conventions. Copies of these can be made available on request.

9. Personal Injury (unconnected with travel arrangements made by us) If you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your holiday arrangements or an excursion arranged through us, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs or benefits received, under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5,000. Under your travel insurance cover, you must make an insurance claim under the legal expenses section in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that purpose.

Notes in respect of paragraphs 8 & 9 We would request that you (a) notify us of any claim for personal injury within 2 months of your return from holiday; (b) assign to Classic Collection Holidays any rights against a supplier or any other person or party you may have relating to the claim; and (c) agree to co-operate fully with us should our insurers wish to enforce those rights. This assignment is necessary to enable us to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to customers and associated costs as a result of personal injury to customers caused by the negligence of those suppliers. It is not our wish to profit from such assignment, and in the unlikely event of our recovering more than such compensation and costs, any excess will be paid to the injured customers.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO CLASSIC COLLECTION HOLIDAYS 1. Your holiday contract As soon as your holiday booking is confirmed, you must sign a booking form accepting our booking conditions. Your contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are 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 wish to do so. Any disputes arising will be heard in the English Courts unless you prefer the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland.

2. Payment for the holiday You pay a deposit of £150 per person (or an agreed sum to cover non-refundable flight seats and/or hotel or other costs) when you book. This is your commitment until 8 weeks before departure when your final balance is due. You must pay the balance at least 8 weeks before departure.

For bookings within 8 weeks of departure, full payment is required at time of booking. If payment is not received as above, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and your deposit/s would be forfeited. If you pay a travel agent for your holiday they will hold that money as our agent from the time they receive it until they pay it to us. Deposits

and balances paid to us can be made by bank transfer, cheque or card.

3. If you change your booking If you want to change any details of your booking (eg transfer to a different holiday, departure date or airport), we will do our best to help as soon as we receive your request in writing. We charge an amendment fee of £25 per person named on the booking form for each detail of the booking to be changed and, in addition to the amendment fee, we will charge for any additional costs we incur in making the amendment/s. Please note that it is highly likely that amendment costs will increase the closer the change is made to your departure date. If amendments to a booking are made, and the booking is subsequently cancelled, we reserve the right to charge the original cancellation charges that would have been payable prior to the amendment.

IMPORTANT

Some arrangements (eg flights purchased from certain airlines and certain hotel bookings or other costs) may not be refundable or transferable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request may incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that particular part of the holiday arrangements.

Where the price varies depending on the number of persons travelling and the numbers are amended, the price will be recharged on the basis of the new party size. Any increase in price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation is not a cancellation charge and will not normally be covered by your chosen insurance. A separate cancellation charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4 below. A new confirmation invoice will be issued as appropriate on which the cancellation charges will be shown.

4. If you cancel your booking You or any member of your party may cancel your booking, or part of it, once it has been confirmed, but the instructions will only be valid if in writing and signed by the person who confirmed the booking. Your written instructions should go either to the travel agent you booked with, asking them to notify us immediately, or if you booked direct, to our address. To compensate us for the expense of processing your booking, payment of cancellation fees are on the scale shown. The amount payable depends on when we receive your written instructions.

Period before scheduled departure within which written holiday instructions are received by us

Amount of cancellation (% of total price)

More than 56 days 43-56 days 29-42 days 15-28 days 8-14 days 7 days or fewer

Deposit/initial payment 30% or deposit if greater 50% or deposit if greater 70% or deposit if greater 90% or deposit if greater 100%

5. If you have a complaint If you have a complaint about your holiday please refer the matter to the supplier immediately (airline, hotel, car hire company etc). If further assistance is required our agent/representative in resort should be contacted. Matters can most easily be resolved for you on the spot when the supplier can see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, then complain afterwards. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved to your satisfaction our agent/representative will ask you to record details on a holiday report form of which you will be given a copy, and you must then follow up your report by writing to our Customer Relations team within 28 days of returning from resort.

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113

6. Holiday illness If you, or any member of your party, become unwell whilst on holiday you must consult a local doctor in order to receive appropriate treatment and to obtain a full medical report. You must also report your illness as soon as reasonably practicable to our local or telephone agent/representative, the contact details of whom can be found on your travel documents.

Notes in respect of paragraphs 5 & 6 Failure to follow the procedures set out in paragraphs 5 and 6 above may reduce or extinguish any rights you have to claim compensation from us or any of our suppliers either in accordance with these booking conditions or otherwise.

7. Holiday participation We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a customer if their conduct is disruptive and affects the enjoyment of other holidaymakers, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so. Aircraft captains are legally entitled to deny boarding to any passenger presenting themselves at the aircraft who, at the captain’s absolute discretion, are unacceptably under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any passenger who is denied boarding on the outbound flight for that reason, shall be deemed to have given notice of cancellation of his/her booking at that moment, and cancellation charges will apply in accordance with paragraph 4.

8. Your accommodation The accommodation provided is only for the use of passengers shown on the confirmation invoice as confirmed by us; subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited.

9. Your travel ticket conditions When you travel with an air or sea or rail carrier, their conditions of carriage apply, some of which limit liability.

These conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries, and copies of the conditions which apply are available for inspection at the travel agent where you book your holiday.

10. Travel Insurance We strongly recommend that you and all members of your booking are adequately insured on holiday and that the insurance is suitable for your needs and the type of activities you will be undertaking as part of your holiday. You are responsible for indemnifying us in full in the event that we incur any losses or expenses arising out of your failure to take out adequate insurance cover.

11. Data Protection Act & GDPR Classic Collection Holidays is registered under the Data Protection Act 1988 and deals with all personal data in accordance therewith. It is, of course, necessary for us to pass personal data to airlines, hotels, transportation companies, insurers and other agents in order that we can arrange your holiday. By confirming a booking with us, you have consented to allow the passing on of such data as we determine necessary for that purpose. Under the Data Protection Act, you have the right to inspect relevant personal information held by us. From 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came in to force and relevant information including, our role as data controller, is detailed in the privacy policy statement on our website.

Holiday information MAKING A BOOKING

If you book through a travel agent, they will check details and availability with us and if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays. If you make a booking directly with us, we will discuss and confirm the details of the holiday with you and, if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays and your credit card details will be taken at that time. In either event, you must pay the appropriate initial payment or, if within 8 weeks of departure, the full holiday price. The booking form (downloadable from our website) and payment must reach us within 4 working days of the booking being confirmed and we reserve the right to cancel the booking and apply full cancellation charges if they are not received within this time. Late bookings made within 8 weeks of departure require that the total balance is paid immediately. Normal cancellation charges apply to late bookings should you subsequently cancel.

Recommendations can be made by our team although the final decision as to hotel and resort suitability is ultimately your choice and we cannot be held liable for our suggestions. To help maintain our high levels of service, calls may be recorded.

Special requests such as adjoining rooms, dietary requirements etc, should be detailed under Special requests on the booking form. We will inform the property management and/or carrier of your requirements but we cannot guarantee that these will be met. Where additional local costs are involved, payment should be made directly to the supplier. If you have a disability or suffer mobility difficulties, please complete our Mobility Questionnaire before we confirm your booking. You may wish to research the suitability of your chosen property with Tourism for All 0845 124 9971/73 www.tourismforall.org.uk

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

Passports, visas & travel advice Your passport, visa and immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with 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.

For British Citizens, a full ten-year passport is required for travel and it is recommended that your passport is valid for six months from your return date to the UK. Children under 16 must hold their own five-year passport. Contact the UK Passport Agency 0870 521 0410 or www.gov.uk/browse/abroad/passports for details. Please note that your name and initials on your flight tickets/documentation must match those on your passport. For up-to-date advice from the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office about travel to, and within, your chosen destination, please visit www.gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice noting that, as advice can change, it is important to check regularly for the latest information.

Vaccinations & health requirements In some countries it is wise, and sometimes obligatory, to have certain vaccinations. As regulations frequently change you should check with your GP’s surgery or www.travelhealthpro.org.uk for up to date information regarding health risks or vaccination requirements.

Travel documentation Your flight tickets including e-ticket information and holiday itinerary will normally be dispatched approx 10 days prior to departure although very late booking confirmations and e-ticket details may be forwarded by email only.

UK airport charges To cover the cost of development or improvement works, some UK airports charge an airport improvement fee which is payable within the relevant check-in

58

area. For example, at Norwich International Airport a development fee of £10 per adult (16 years+) is payable.

OUR BROCHURE & HOLIDAY DETAILS

Brochure accuracy This brochure was printed on 28 June 2019. Details are valid for departures from 1 November 2019 to 30 October 2020 or until publication of any revised edition, or you are notified otherwise by your travel agent or our reservations staff. All the facts in this brochure are re-checked for accuracy by our staff and, where possible, our hoteliers, although of course it is always feasible, especially in low season, that facilities may be unavailable as hotels, especially those which are open all year round, will require maintenance (eg pools), redecoration and refurbishment. Service within hotels may change from time to time eg dining changes from traditional waiter service to buffet style. Such events are regrettably beyond our control although we will alert you to significant changes at time of booking, or if you have already booked, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure.

Hotel details We are happy to advise hotel web addresses, but cannot accept responsibility for their accuracy.

Room types and upgrades Single rooms normally carry a supplement which is for the convenience of having a room to yourself and location/facilities may be inferior to that of a twin room. In family rooms and twin or double rooms that take additional beds, do note that the extra bed/s could be of a folding or convertible sofa type and beds for children may not be full adult-sized singles. When additional beds are put in a room, floor space will be reduced and cupboard access may be limited. Junior suites normally have a sitting area, and suites have a sitting area or separate sitting room. Ocean or sea view rooms enjoy views of the ocean/sea although foliage, buildings etc may sometimes interupt a full view. Ocean facing or sea facing rooms will face the ocean/sea but will normally be on lower floors where the view of the ocean/sea may be obscured through gardens/trees etc.

Side ocean view or side sea view rooms tend to offer a restricted view of the ocean or sea.

Please note that the main additional feature of any room category attracting a supplement may often be its view and that this will not necessarily include additional internal room facilities or amenities. Room upgrade supplements are normally detailed on the hotel pages, but occasionally you may see the phrase 'on request' which means that we will need to contact the hotel for latest prices.

Hotel facilities normally incur a charge eg sun loungers, tennis, squash, mini-golf, pool table, watersports, entry to disco/nightclub, use of fitness/leisure and spa facilities, children’s clubs, cots, safety deposit boxes, car parking.

Air-conditioning Most hotels offer in-room airconditioning although this may be controlled centrally and might only be available at certain times of the year or subject to the prevailing weather.

Check in/out & duration of holiday On arrival at hotels, check in time is normally 4pm and check out 12 noon. Most hotels can provide luggage storage and changing room facilities if you arrive earlier or stay later, and you may be able to pay locally for a late check out from your room. The number of nights on your confirmation invoice refers to the number of nights reserved for you in your hotel. If you arrive very late at night or in the early hours of the morning, your accommodation is immediately available as it will have been reserved for the whole night and this will count as one of your holiday nights.

Meal arrangements Full board normally consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner; half board is

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113

breakfast and dinner. Breakfasts are normally served buffet style. Full board or half board arrangements are generally served in the main dining room and are based on a standard table d’hote menu although this normally includes a choice of dishes. Many hotels offer buffet style meals and some a combination of waiter and buffet service. A full a la carte menu is available for an extra cost in most of our hotels and customers should note that when half or full board is offered as a la carte dining, exclusions such as lobster, prawns etc may be available for a local supplement. Most hotels offer the option of booking any number of nights on half or full board so that you can pay in the UK and decide which nights you wish to eat at the hotel when you arrive: ask our reservations staff for details.

All inclusive arrangements vary widely between hotels and where this concept is offered, it is wise to check specific details at booking stage as many hotels only include local spirits and wines and may limit your choice of restaurant or dining room. As with meal arrangements (above), if a full a la carte menu or restaurant is not included within the all inclusive concept, it may be available for an additional cost and exclusions such as lobster, prawns etc may be available for a local supplement.

Dress code Due to the sophisticated nature of many of our hotel restaurants, shorts and t-shirts are unacceptable for evening dining and slightly more formal attire is recommended.

Formal dress is normally required for gala dinners and if you’d like to find out further details of dress codes at a particular hotel, simply contact our reservations team.

Children & infants To take advantage of children’s prices, a child must normally be aged 2-11 years at the date of return and must share a room with two adults or full fare paying passengers, although some hotels offer special reductions for a second child sharing the room, or for older children, or for a child travelling with one adult, or where children share an interconnecting room. Children paying child prices can normally benefit from reduced half board supplements (when booking same board basis as adults) and will not normally be charged room supplements although if these are payable, relevant prices will be advised at time of booking. Normally children staying in their own room will be charged as full fare paying passengers including relevant room and half board supplements. Please note that infants and children’s dates of birth (on the date of return from holiday) must be advised on the booking form. Infants (under two years of age at date of return) pay a charge to cover our administration costs and additional charges may be levied for certain flights, inter-island connections or business class cabins. Hotels will charge locally for food and cots. Please note that the regulations applied to the manufacture of cots in other countries are not as high as those in the UK and may not conform to British safety standards.

Child seats Although we can request child seats for private transfers in resort, they cannot always be guaranteed and in such cases we suggest that you bring your own.

Babysitting arrangements are available at many properties although the service will vary and the sitter may not remain in the room with the child. If you wish to use a babysitting service, you must arrange and pay for it locally with the sitter who is frequently a member of the hotel staff not qualified in child care.

Health & safety All our properties are checked regularly for compliance in respect of local regulations. However, guests must exercise caution particularly with regard to fire safety, swimming pools, balconies, lifts etc, where compliance may not be equal to British standards.

any airport I any airline I any day & duration

Resort development may be in progress and occasionally the work involved will result in building work being in evidence. We cannot forewarn of all developments, however, if the works taking place, either through noise or other inconvenience, is felt by us to affect your overall holiday enjoyment, we will supply all such information to you directly or via your travel agent. Many of our resorts are in popular holiday destinations which invariably have busy road networks so you may encounter some traffic disturbance especially during peak season.

Representation Due to the specialist nature of our programme it is not always practical to visit our guests in their hotel especially during multicentres, island hopping or fly drive holidays. All customers will be given emergency contact numbers and departure details will be confirmed on arrival in resort. Our resort representative or local agent will normally make contact within 24 hours of your arrival to ensure that everything is in order, although should you encounter any difficulties during your stay, please contact your hotel manager in the first instance, and if further assistance is required, simply contact our resort manager or local agent who will endeavour to resolve the problem.

Care for our environment The paper used in this brochure is from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources. We contribute annually to The Travel Foundation to offset emissions from our staff flights. Visit www.thetravelfoundation.org.uk to see details of their work. Additionally we have recently

formed an association with Travelife; a global sustainability organisation which works closely with hotels helping them to improve their social, economic and environmental impacts.

100% FINANCIAL PROTECTION All the flight inclusive holidays within this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme under ATOL number 5837. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL certificate (for further information about financial protection please see our booking conditions and www.atol.org.uk). For holidays and travel arrangements which do not include travel by air, your financial protection is administered by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) under membership number W5429. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA and/or ABTA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. ABTA members help holidaymakers get the most from their travel arrangements, and assist them in the unlikely event that things do not go according to plan.

Under ABTA’s Code of Conduct, we maintain a high standard of service to our customers. For further information about ABTA, the Code of Conduct, and the arbitration scheme, contact ABTA tel 0207 637 2444 or www.abta.com
