PASSENGER NAMES

The passenger is wholly responsible for providing their full name as issued on their passport or government identification. Any charge for incorrectly issued airline tickets due to incorrect information will be the direct responsibility of the passenger.

PARTICIPATION

For the benefit of everyone on your vacation, we reserve the right to accept or reject any vacation participant, and to remove any participant whose conduct is deemed incompatible with the interests of the other participants.

TRAVELERS WHO NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE

You must report any disability requiring special attention at the time the reservation is made. We will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled travelers, but it is not reasonable in the event it is unable to do so, nor is it responsible for any denial if services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Be aware that outside the U.S. The Americans with Disabilities Act is not applicable and facilities for disabled individuals are limited. Most transportation services, including the touring motorcoach, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a vacation participant for walking, dining, getting on and off motorcoaches and other vehicles, or other personal needs. Aqualified and physically able companion must accompany travelers who need such assistance, and must assume full responsibility for their well being. Motorized scooters are unsuitable for vacations offered.

SMOKING

Smoking is not allowed on transportation that is exclusively provided by the Globus Family of brands.

VISA & PASSPORTS

For vacations requiring visas for U.S. citizens, detailed visa information will be mailed or faxed. You are responsible for obtaining and payment for all visas and entry documents, and for meeting all health and other requirements and any documents required by laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of the countries to be visited. Multiple-entry visas are required for some vacations. Non-U.S. citizens must consult with appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed. All passengers traveling internationally are required to have a passport. Most countries require that the passport be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the conclusion of your trip.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The accommodations listed are intended to be used; however, if a change becomes necessary for any reason, the accommodations substituted will be of an equivalent standard. Every effort is made to reserve only twin-bedded rooms. It may occasionally happen that an accommodation provides some double-bedded rooms instead. These rooms will be allocated to couples.

Hotel taxes, service charges, state and local taxes, tips to baggage porters and hotel staff are all included in the tour prices. Please note that accommodation check-in times vary world-wide.

In North America reductions quoted for triple occupancy are based on rooms with 2 double beds. It may be possible to arrange a third (usually foldaway) bed but this facility cannot be guaranteed.

In exceptional cases where single rooms reserved by us are not available, refunds will be made by the tour director or local host. Claims made in this respect cannot be accepted after the vacation is completed.

BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE

Porterage for one suitcase is included in the vacation price. Airport porterage at the beginning and end of the vacation is not included. Due to limited coach capacity, this single bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30"x21"x11" and weight not exceeding 50 lbs. (22kg) or less if your air carrier has stricter weight/dimension limitations. We regret we are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits. We recommend you consult your air carrier as size and weight limitations vary from airline to airline and even according to destination, and are becoming more restrictive. Globus is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers. Regulations within most airports require that travelers handle their own luggage through customs.

For safety reasons, wheeled carry-on bags are not suitable as hand luggage on motorcoaches and mini-buses.

No responsibility is accepted for loss of or damage to baggage or any of the traveler’s belongings. Baggage insurance is recommended.

Globus and Avalon Waterways will supply each traveler with a complimentary travel bag, which can serve as your carry-on bag. Cosmos and Monograms packages do NOTinclude travel bags. We recommend a carry on bag that is approx. 12" x 11" x 6".

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

Travel documents, including any paper air tickets or e-ticket itineraries, are sent by regular ground delivery to one central address for the group approximately two to three weeks prior to departure provided full payment has been received.

If any passenger requires special document handling including but not limited to overnight delivery or multiple delivery address, additional fees will apply.

Federal Inspection Fees for the Federal U.S. Customs and Immigration; International Air Transportation Tax; agricultural tax; any other taxes; security fee; airport taxes and fees; port taxes; passports; visas and vaccinations; tips to your tour or cruise director, tour host, tour driver, local city guides, ships’ crew; gratuities on ferries, trains and cruise ships; laundry; telephone; mini bar; alcohol, beverages and food not on the regular table d’hôte menu (these extra items will be billed to you before leaving the hotel, ship or restaurant); optional excursions; porterage at airports; travel protection; excess baggage fees; all other items of a personal nature.

Any resulting additional expense will be payable by travelers and any resulting saving will be refunded by the Company to vacation participants.

The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a vacation participant, to expel any participant from the vacation, to make changes in the itinerary whenever the Company deems it necessary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of the participants, and to cancel a vacation at any time.

Any dispute between the vacation participant and the Company directly or indirectly relating to the Terms and Conditions shall be first submitted to mediation at Denver, Colorado before a mediator mutually agreed to by the parties. If mediation is not successful, the dispute must be resolved by binding arbitration under Colorado law before the Judicial Arbiter Group or its successor located at 1601 Blake Street, Denver, Colorado 80202.

Any action to enforce the arbitrator’s decision shall be brought in the state or federal courts in the State of Colorado.
