Sail Croatia’s Cruise Booking Terms and Conditions
  1. Booking Conditions
    • 1.1 These booking conditions together with the general information contained on our website www.sail-croatia.com, our Privacy Notice www.sail-croatia.com/privacy- policy and our brochure form the basis of your contract with Sail Croatia Adventures Limited of 188 High Street, Egham, Surrey, TW20 9ED, company number 09182310 (collectively referred to as “Sail Croatia”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations.
    • 1.2 Except as otherwise stated, these booking conditions only apply to holiday arrangements which you book with us in the UK and which we agree to make, provide or perform (as applicable) as part of our contract with you.
    • 1.3 All references in these booking conditions to “holiday”, “booking”, “contract”, “package”, “tour” “arrangements” or “travel arrangements” mean such holiday arrangements.
    • 1.4 In these booking conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date or any of them, as the context requires).
    • 1.5 References to “departure” are to the start date of the arrangements we have contracted to provide.
    • 1.6 The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 will apply to your contract. For more information on your rights under these regulations please see the link https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2018/9780111168479/contents.
  2. Making your booking
    • 2.1 To confirm a booking, you must complete our booking form. This must be signed by the first named person on the booking (the “party leader”). The party leader must be at least 18 years of age when the booking is made and is responsible for making all payments due to us. The party leader must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these booking conditions by all persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 years of age when the booking is made. By making the booking request, the party leader confirms that he or she is so authorised.
    • 2.2 If you are under the age of 18, you should review these terms and conditions with your parent or guardian before agreeing to make sure that you or your parent or guardian understand your and their legal obligations.
    • 2.3 Once we have received your booking and all appropriate payments (see clause 3 below), we will, subject to the availability of your chosen arrangements, confirm your holiday by issuing a confirmation invoice. This invoice will be sent to the party leader. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 10 days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so.
    • 2.4 If you wish to, you may contact us by e-mail for any of the reasons mentioned in these Booking Conditions (for example, to request an amendment) providing you do so to [email protected].
  3. Payment
    • 3.1 In order to confirm your chosen travel arrangements, a deposit of £50/€60/$70 per person (or full payment if booking within 12 weeks of the date your arrangements with us are due to commence) must be paid at the time of booking.
    • 3.2 The balance of the cost of the holiday must be received by us not less than 12 weeks prior to the date your arrangements with us are due to commence. Reminders are not sent.
    • 3.3 If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case we will be entitled to keep all deposits paid or due at that date. If we do not cancel straight away because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges shown in clause 7 depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled.
  4. Your Contract
    • 4.1 A binding contract between us comes into existence when we despatch our confirmation invoice to the party leader.
    • 4.2 We both agree that English Law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (“claim”) (except as set out below).
    • 4.3 We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not involving any personal injury) must be dealt with under the ABTA arbitration scheme (if the scheme is available for the claim in question and you wish to use it – see clause 12) or by the Courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of Court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the Courts of your home country or those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us governed by the law of Scotland/Northern Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply).
  5. The cost of your travel arrangements
    • 5.1 Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check the price of your chosen travel arrangements at the time of booking.
    • 5.2 We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your travel arrangements are confirmed. We will advise you of any error of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking.
  6. Changes by you
    • 6.1 Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed travel arrangements, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible. Whilst we will endeavour to assist, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests. Where we can, an amendment fee of £20/€30/$35 per person/per booking will be payable together with any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. A change of holiday dates will normally be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and rebooking in which case cancellation charges will apply. Changes may result in the recalculation of the holiday price where, for example, the basis on which the price of the original holiday was calculated has changed.
    • 6.2 You may transfer your booking or your place on the booking to someone else (introduced by you) without payment of our cancellation charges providing the request for the transfer is made in writing not less than 7 days before departure. The person(s) to whom you wish to make the transfer must also satisfy all conditions which form part of your contract with us. Requests for transfer must be accompanied by the name and other applicable details of the replacement person(s). Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers, together with an amendment fee of £20/€30/$35, must be paid before the transfer can be effected.
  7. Cancellation by you
    • 7.1 You may cancel your confirmed booking at any time before departure. You may also transfer your booking as referred to in clause 6.2. If you want to cancel your booking after we have confirmed it, the party leader must do so by e-mail or by posting or hand delivering written notice of cancellation to us. Notices of cancellation will only be effective when received in writing by us at our offices. As we incur costs from the time we confirm your booking, the following cancellation charges will be payable based on your original booking departure date. In calculating these cancellation charges, we have taken account of possible cost savings and the generation of income from other bookings which may be able to utilise cancelled services to the extent this is likely to be achievable. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges which are not refundable in the event of cancellation.
    • 7.2 All bookings will be subject to a £50/€60/$70 cancellation fee per person plus the following charges in clause 7.3 below, where applicable.
    • 7.3 Period before departure within which written notification of cancellation is received by us, the cancellation charge per person is determined as the following:
      • (a) Within 84-30 days / 25% 
      • (b) Within 29-15 days / 50% 
      • (c) Within 14-0 days / 100% 
    • 7.4 No refunds will be given for wholly/partly used tickets, vouchers or accommodation reservations or for any other services booked but not taken. 
    • 7.5 Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your own insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.
    • 7.6 Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly.
  8. Insurance
    • 8.1 We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential. This insurance must include cover for (i) cancellation or curtailment of your holiday as a result of circumstances outside your control (including accident or illness and inability to travel for other reasons), (ii) personal accident, (iii) personal liability, (iv) medical expenses and repatriation in the event of medical need (v) cover for costs and liability arising from any specific activity you intend to participate in. Please note, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the travel insurance purchased is suitable for your particular needs, including without limitation, in respect of any pre-existing medical condition (which must be disclosed to the insurer prior to purchasing the policy).
    • 8.2 Please be aware that any advice against non-essential international travel issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (or equivalent authorities outside the UK for citizens of those countries) may have an impact on your travel insurance. You must check the policy terms prior to purchasing your insurance.
    • 8.3 Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs.
  9. Changes and cancellation by us
    • 9.1 Changes to confirmed bookings sometimes have to be made and we reserve the right to do so in accordance with this clause 9. Most changes will be insignificant and we have the right to make these. Where an insignificant change is made before departure, we will notify you in writing. No compensation is payable for insignificant changes. Occasionally, before departure, we may be constrained by circumstances beyond our control to make a significant alteration to any of the main characteristics of the travel services which form part of your confirmed booking or to any special requirements which we have accepted as referred to in clause 16. Where we have to do so, clauses 9.3 and 9.4 will apply.
    • 9.2 All alterations which are not significant in accordance with clause 9.1 will be treated as insignificant. A change of boat, cabin or accommodation to another of a similar standard and with similar facilities will also all be treated as insignificant changes. Please note that due to the nature of our itineraries and the fact that many of the ports we call at are small and/or often busy it is not always possible for our ships to call at all ports as planned. Unfortunately this is an inherent risk in sailing in and around Croatia and we have no control over this. We will of course use all reasonable endeavours to call at all scheduled ports but would ask that you allow for some degree of flexibility in itineraries when travelling with us. We both agree that a substitution of one port of call for another or the removal of a port of call in its entirety will be an insignificant change. The captains of all of the ships we use retain the right to deviate from or change any particular itinerary where they believe it necessary to so for example in the interests of the health and safety of passengers.
    • 9.3 In the event we have to significantly alter any of the main characteristics of your confirmed arrangements or accepted special requirements, we will provide you with the following information in writing as soon as possible: (i) the proposed alteration and any impact this has on the price; (ii) in the event that you do not wish to accept the alteration, details of any alternative holiday arrangements we are able to offer (including the applicable price); (iii) your entitlement to cancel your booking and receive a full refund if you do not want to accept the alteration or any alternative holiday arrangements offered; and (iv) the period within which you must inform us of your decision and what will happen if you don’t do so.
    • 9.4 If you choose to cancel your booking in accordance with clause 9.3, we will refund all payments you have made to us within 14 days of the date the cancellation takes effect and terminates your contract (which is usually the date we send you a cancellation invoice following receipt of your written cancellation notification). If we don’t hear from you with your decision within the specified period (having provided you with the above mentioned information for a second time), we will cancel your booking and refund all payments made to us within 14 days of the effective date of cancellation (see above). No compensation will be payable or other liability accepted where a change results from unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see clause 10).
    • 9.5 If in the period before the date when your arrangements with us are due to commence a significant change or cancellation is notified to you, then compensation per person will be as follows:
      • (a) More than 84 days nil
      • (b) 84-30 days £20/€30/$30
      • (c) 29-15 days £40/€50/$60
      • (d) 14-0 days £80/€90/$110
    • 9.6 Occasionally, it may be necessary to cancel a confirmed booking. We have the right to terminate your contract in the event we are prevented from performing your contracted holiday arrangements as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see clause 10) and we notify you of this as soon as reasonably possible. Where we have to cancel your booking in these circumstances, we will refund all monies you have paid to us within 14 days of the effective date of cancellation (see clause 9.4) but will have no further or other liability to you including in respect of compensation or any costs or expenses you incur or have incurred as a result. We will of course endeavour to offer you alternative holiday arrangements where possible which you may choose to book (at the applicable price) in place of those cancelled. We also have the right to cancel if you fail to make payment in accordance with the terms of your contract in which case clause 7 will apply.
    • 9.7 Please note, a full refund entitlement only arises where we are prevented from performing your contracted holiday arrangements as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances in accordance with clause 9.6 and we exercise our right to cancel as a result. Without limitation, you will not be entitled to a full refund and cancellation charges are likely to apply where such circumstances affect your ability to travel on your holiday rather than our ability to perform or provide the contracted arrangements. This may be the case, for example, where measures applied by the UK or any other government or public authorities (such as locally applicable restrictions) mean you are unable to leave your home/local area and/or travel to or gain entry into the country(ies) where your holiday is due to take place. The issue of advice or recommendations against travel by public authorities (such as the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) does not automatically mean we are prevented from performing your holiday arrangements but may instead affect your ability to travel. Any obligation to quarantine or self-isolate on your return to your country of residence does not affect our ability to provide your holiday and will not entitle you to cancel without paying our usual cancellation charges.
    • 9.8 In the event that unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see clause 10) occur in the place of destination of your holiday or its immediate vicinity and significantly affect the performance of the contracted arrangements or the carriage of passengers to that destination, you will be entitled to cancel prior to departure without payment of cancellation charges and receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us (except for any previously incurred cancellation or amendment charges). Where applicable, you must notify us of your wish to cancel for this reason in writing. Providing we are in agreement that you are entitled to do so in accordance with this clause, we will send you a cancellation invoice to confirm the cancellation. Any refund then due will be paid in accordance with clause 9.4 above. We will notify you as soon as practicable should this situation occur. You will not be entitled to any compensation.
  10. Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances
    • 10.1 Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense of any nature as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In these booking conditions, unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances means a situation which is beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such situations are likely to include (whether actual or threatened) war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural disaster, extreme adverse weather conditions, fire, flood, an outbreak of a serious illness at your holiday destination, closure, restriction or congestion of airports, other transport hubs or airspace, flight restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority or other third party and volcanic activity and all similar events outside our control.
  11. Our Liability to you
    • 11.1 We promise to make sure that the travel arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these booking conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury or your contracted travel arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a direct result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted travel arrangements. Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers).
    • 11.2 We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: 
      • (a) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected; or
      • (b) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
      • (c) unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances as defined in clause 10 above.
    • 11.3 Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised on our website and we have not agreed to arrange them and any excursion you purchase in resort. Please also see clause 17 “Excursions, activities and website information”. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any of our brochures or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.
    • 11.4 Additionally, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any of our brochures or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.
    • 11.5 Save as permitted by English law, we do not limit the amount of damages you are entitled to claim in respect of personal injury or death which we or our employees have caused intentionally or negligently. For all other claims, if we are found liable to you on any basis, the maximum amount we will have to pay you is three times the total cost of your holiday (excluding any insurance premiums or amendment/cancellation charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total, unless a lower limitation applies to your claim. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your holiday.
    • 11.6 Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description which
      • (a) on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; or
      • (b) which did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers; or
      • (c) relates to any business (including without limitation, loss of self-employed earnings.).
  12. Complaints, problems and ABTA Arbitration
    • 12.1 In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your holiday whilst away, you must immediately inform our representative and the supplier of the service(s) in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to our representative and the supplier as soon as possible and written in the complaints book located on the boat concerned. Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to us within 28 days of your return to the UK giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. Only the party leader should write to us. If you fail to follow this simple complaints procedure, your right to claim the compensation you may otherwise have been entitled to may be affected or even lost as a result.
    • 12.2 Disputes arising out of, or in connection with your booking which cannot be amicably settled may be referred to arbitration if you so wish under a special scheme arranged by ABTA Ltd and administered independently. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta.com). The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your application for arbitration and other required documents must be received by ABTA within 18 months of your return from the holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the scheme may still be available if we agree, although the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA mediation procedure and we have the option to agree to this. Where we act as agent, please bear in mind that your contract is with the supplier of the arrangements concerned. Unless the supplier is also a member of ABTA, only disputes relating to our actions as agent can be dealt with by the arbitration scheme or mediation procedure and not complaints about the arrangements themselves or the acts / omissions of the supplier.
  13. Assistance whilst you are on holiday
    • 13.1 In the event you end up in difficulty (of any sort) during your holiday, we will provide you with appropriate assistance as soon as reasonably possible including by the provision of appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance and by assisting you to make distance communications and to find alternative travel arrangements as may be applicable. Where you are in difficulty as a result of your negligence, we may charge you a reasonable fee for this assistance which will not exceed the costs we actually incur.
  14. Behaviour and damage
    • 14.1 You accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier or to us. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises.
    • 14.2 When you book with us, you agree that you must comply with the rules and regulations applicable to the ship/boat you are sailing on and are found on board.
    • 14.3 We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the travel arrangements of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the vessel or other service concerned. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.
  15. Conditions of suppliers
    • 15.1 Many of the services which make up your travel arrangements are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier's liability to you. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from ourselves or the supplier concerned.
  16. Special requests and medical problems
    • 16.1 If you have any special request, you must advise us in writing at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met unless we have specifically confirmed this. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing that a special request will be complied with (where it is possible to give this) where it is important to you. We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. Any special request which we have accepted will be specifically confirmed as accepted on your confirmation invoice.
    • 16.2 Our holidays may not be suitable for people with certain disabilities, medical conditions or significantly reduced mobility. Before you make your booking, we will advise you as to whether the proposed holiday arrangements are generally suitable for someone with reduced mobility. However, reduced mobility of course means different things to different individuals as we fully appreciate that individual capabilities, restrictions and requirements are likely to vary considerably. When we refer to reduced mobility, this means any material reduction in mobility whether this is permanent or temporary and whether caused by age or by physical or mental disability or impairment or other cause of disability.
    • 16.3 Should you suffer from any medical condition, disability or significant reduction in mobility which may affect your holiday (including any which affect the booking process) or have any special requirements as a result, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or making the booking. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking and whenever any material change in your condition, disability or mobility occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition, disability or reduced mobility which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed.
  17. Excursions, activities and website information
    • 17.1 We may provide you with information (before departure and/or when you are on holiday) about activities and excursions which are available in the area you are visiting. We have no involvement in any such activities or excursions which are neither run, supervised nor controlled in any way by us. They are provided by local operators or other third parties who are entirely independent of us. They do not form any part of your contract with us even where we suggest particular operators/other third parties and/or assist you in booking such activities or excursions in any way. We cannot accept any liability on any basis in relation to such activities or excursions and the acceptance of liability contained in clause 11.1 of our Booking Conditions will not apply to them. We do not however exclude liability for the negligence of ourselves or our employees resulting in your death or personal injury.
    • 17.2 We cannot guarantee accuracy at all times of information given in relation to activities or excursions available in or about the resorts/area you are visiting generally (except where this concerns the services which will form part of your contract with us) or that any particular excursion or activity which does not form part of our contract will take place as these services are not under our control. If you feel that any of the activities mentioned on our website or brochure which are not part of our contract are vital to the enjoyment of your holiday, write to us immediately and we will tell you the latest known situation. If we become aware of any material alterations to resort/area information and/or such outside activities which can reasonably be expected to affect your decision to book travel arrangements with us, we will pass on this information at the time of booking.
  18. Passports, visas and health requirements
    • 18.1 The passport, visa and health requirements applicable to the holidays we offer are shown on our website. You must check entry and other official requirements for all countries to or through which you are travelling as well as any requirements applicable on your return to your home country, at the time of booking and in good time before and close to departure. Requirements are likely to change and travel restrictions may be imposed (which could be at no or very short notice prior to departure). You must also keep up to date with this information while you are away.
    • 18.2 A full British passport would usually take approximately –four to six weeks to obtain but is currently (November 2020) taking much longer. If any member of your party (who is a British citizen) is 16 or over and hasn't got or previously held a British passport, even more time needs to be allowed as the UK Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport.
    • 18.3 If any person on the booking is not a British citizen or holds a non-British passport, you must check the applicable passport and visa requirements with the embassy or consulate of the country(ies) to or through which you are intending to travel. Please ensure that you check the latest position on applying for or renewing a passport at the earliest opportunity.
    • 18.4 Details of any compulsory health requirements applicable to your holiday shown on our website. It is your responsibility to ensure you obtain details of and comply with all recommended and required vaccinations, health precautions and other health related measures in good time before departure. You must also keep up to date with the latest information.
    • 18.5 Details should be available from your General Practitioners surgery and for British citizens from the National Travel Health Network and Centre www.nathnac.org. Information for British citizens on health abroad is also available on www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Travelhealth
    • 18.6 If you or any member of your party lives outside the UK, you must check what vaccinations, health precautions and other health related measures are recommended or required in your country of residence for travel to your destination country and to any countries through which you may transit or stop off.
    • 18.7 Vaccination and other health requirements/recommendations are subject to change at any time for any destination, including at short or no notice. Please therefore check with a doctor or clinic or other reliable source of information not less than 6 weeks prior to departure and also closer to departure to ensure that you are aware of and can meet the necessary requirements and have the latest information. Please be aware that there may be enhanced screening/monitoring at exit and entry points. In certain situations and when arriving from certain countries, you may be required to self-isolate or quarantine for a set period on arrival.
    • 18.8 It is the responsibility of the person who makes the booking to ensure that all persons travelling are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to obtain and carry all required documentation or to otherwise comply with all applicable requirements (including health related ones). If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results in fines, surcharges, other financial penalty, costs or expenses being incurred by us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly. If you are unable to travel as a result of failure or inability to comply with any health related or other requirements, cancellation charges will apply as referred to in clause 7.

    • 20.2 In the event of our insolvency we, or any appointed insolvency practitioner, may disclose your personal information to ABTOT so that they can assess the status of your booking and advise you on the appropriate course of action under any scheme of financial protection. ABTOT’s Privacy Notice is at https://www.abtot.com/privacy-policy-cookies.
    • 20.3 You agree to accept that in the event of our insolvency ABTOT 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.

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 ABTOT’s Scheme of Protection (or your payment card issuer where applicable) for a refund of the monies you have paid.
