WELCOME ABOARD 

Welcome to our brand new summer 2011 yachting brochure. With over 30 years 

experience of providing sailing holidays we’re proud to have pioneered the flotilla sailing 

concept and have developed a whole host of yachting options to suit everyone from 

nervous novices to salty sea dogs. With some great ‘learn to’ and family options combining 

with our popular beachclubs – we really do have something for everyone. 

Whilst the emphasis is certainly on fun we also focus on the reliability of our yacht fleet and 

the safety of our operations. As such all of our yachting bases are Royal Yachting 

Association – RYA – training centres. Meaning that, our centres are independently 

inspected each year to ensure the RYA’s exacting standards are being met. So you can relax 

safe in the knowledge that you are in the hands of qualified experts. 

We first introduced the Dufour 325 to our fleet in 2005, they have proved to be the ideal 

boat for exploring the perfect sailing waters around Greece. We will have more new 325’s 

for 2011 spread across all 3 of our sailing areas, as well as the new Dufour 405 available in 

both the Ionian and Peloponnese for those who like that extra bit of space and 

performance. 

In 2009 we introduced a brand new sailing area around the Halkidiki peninsulas in the 

Northern Aegean, this has proved to be a popular un-crowded area in which we are now 

able to offer a 2 week flotilla route enabling you to explore more of this superb sailing area. 

People always ask us what is it that makes a Neilson holiday so special? Our attention to 

detail and dedicated staff on hand at every step of your holiday journey are mentioned 

time and time again by our returning guests and we are rightly proud of all those that pull 

together to make your holiday time with us so special. From your first conversation with 

our expert holiday advisors here in Brighton to your lead crew waving you farewell in 

resort - we never forget it is your valuable holiday time, and money, that you have 

entrusted us with. 

Last summers ‘ash’ and strike problems highlighted, more than ever, the security and 

peace of mind that comes with the Neilson package. As part of the Thomas Cook Group 

and as an ATOL protected operator, your holiday pounds are safe with us, from the 

moment you book to the moment you step back onto your plane home it is our 

responsibility to ensure that all goes well. 

Best wishes

We also provide fantastic Beachclub holidays with a wide range of land and water based 

activities, Ski and Snowboard holidays to Europe and North America and now we have 

introduced both a new Neilson Lakes and Mountains brochure and a Neilson Adventures 

brochure – for more information on any of these great Neilson holidays, contact us and 

we’ll pop a brochure in the post. Or why not check out of website for even more details on 

all our holidays and our popular online chatroom, a forum where our guests are able to tell

THE NORTHERN AEGEAN 

Since we introduced flotilla sailing to the Northern Aegean in 2009, we 

have discovered a host of welcoming harbours, tranquil bays, traditional 

villages, golden sandy beaches and picturesque anchorages. Combined 

with reliable winds and crystal clear seas it is no wonder that the 

coastline of Halkidiki is known as “Greece’s secret paradise” 

The introduction of a 2 week flotilla route enables you to explore the 

three peninsulas of Halkidiki to the full, including the easternmost 

peninsula of Akti with it’s dramatic coastline, many monastries clinging 

to cliff-sides and the imposing Mount Athos. And, for those of you with 

just a week to spend on your holiday, we have also introduced our 

popular “Learn to Sail” option to Halkidiki. . 

FREE INTRODUCTION TO YACHTING COURSE 

Book your next Stay and Sail holiday in Nidri before 31st December 

2010 and we will give each booking two FREE places on our introduction 

to yachting course.

SAILING FOR 

EVERYONE 

Our yachting programme has 

something for everyone, from 

complete novices to diehard sailors, 

couples, families and groups. 

NEW TO YACHTING? 

STAY AND SAIL IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR SAILING BEGINNERS 

Alternatively, if a two-week holiday is 

simply not an option then our one-week 

Learn to Sail holiday is the perfect solution. 

Ease in gently with a week staying at one of our hotels. 

During this week our team of fantastic instructors will 

teach you to sail aboard our training yachts – the training 

is fun and informative with plenty of time spent at sea 

putting your skills into practice. 

Week two is when the fun really starts! You will spend the 

week sailing at a leisurely pace with a group on other 

yachts (commonly called a flotilla) – discovering new 

villages and harbours, enjoying long lunches, swimming in 

crystal clear water and enjoying the freedom and 

excitement that sailing offers. 

Moving straight onto your yacht, your first three days will 

be spent with an instructor learning the skills required to 

sail in a flotilla environment. After which, you meet up with 

the rest of our yachts and sail with the flotilla.

SAILED BEFORE? 

THEN WHY NOT ENJOY A FLOTILLA OR BAREBOAT ADVENTURE 

You may have been sailing for years, or 

have enjoyed one or two adventures on 

a Stay and Sail holiday, whatever your 

level of sailing experience we have the 

sailing holiday that is just right for you. 

Flotilla holidays are great if you just want 

to get out there sailing, with the support 

and reassurance of our lead crew. There 

is something for everyone with smaller 

yachts for two or larger boats for a 

family or group. Your lead boat and 

crew of skipper, mate and engineer is 

never far away. They have a wealth of 

sailing and local knowledge and are 

always on call to assist and ensure you 

make the most of the sailing on offer. 

THE NEILSON 

CREW 

Every flotilla will set out with a dedicated lead boat 

crew, comprising skipper, mate and engineer 

travelling on their own yacht. They are a multitalented 

crew who know the sailing areas and our 

yachts intimately. 

Each morning your skipper and mate will join you for 

an informal chat about the day ahead along with the 

day’s weather forecast. They plan routes to suit the 

weather and will brief you on safe harbours and 

anchorages where you can enjoy lazy afternoons 

swimming and soaking up the sun. The evening’s 

final destination will also be confirmed - together 

with information on local facilities, places to eat and 

details of evening social events. Meanwhile, your 

engineer will be busy with engine checks and 

refuelling, to ensure you have a smooth day’s sailing. 

Our bareboat option gives more 

experienced sailors the freedom to sail 

where, when and however they please. 

It is the ultimate getaway with no 

itinerary and no set routes. You will of 

course have the security of our base and 

lead crews just a call away.

FAMILIES 

ON FLOTILLA 

Children love living on yachts - it’s one 

great adventure! Fair weather, ropes, sails, 

steering and endless new destinations will 

keep them happy for hours. A Stay and 

Sail or Flotilla holiday is a brilliant 

experience for the whole family and one 

your children will remember for years 

to come.

Our reservations team can recommend the 

best yacht and sailing area for your family’s 

requirements and we provide junior 

harnesses, lifejackets and safety netting 

where needed. 

Upon arrival on your yacht, our lead crews 

are happy to assist, offering guidance on 

cabin allocation and safety tips with children 

in mind. Most days on flotilla for children will 

involve a fun challenge from the lead crew to 

keep your little ones occupied during the 

day’s sailing and often further events will be 

organised around their needs once on shore. 

For more information on our children’s 

clubs and advice for families, please turn 

to page 78. 

CHILDREN’S CLUBS 

If you choose a Stay and Sail holiday your 

children can join in the fun, on and off the 

water at one of our children’s clubs during 

your week ashore. 

Our fully trained and experienced English 

speaking team have a bottomless supply of 

ideas to ensure your children are supervised 

and entertained at all times. That way, you’ll 

be able to give it 100% on the water or just 

focus on your tan and have 110% confidence 

your children are playing as hard as you are. 

All our children’s clubs are always in great 

demand and places are limited. Pre-booking 

is essential to guarantee your place. Please 

note there are no children’s clubs at the 

Athos Hotel in Nidri. 

LEARNING TO SAIL 

Children aged between 13 and 15 can join 

their parents on a Private Introduction to 

Yachting or Brush Up course. This is a great 

opportunity for the family to learn an 

exciting new skill together, having lots of fun 

and adventures along the way.

bases you choose there is a range of seven clubs 

for all children from 4 months - 17 years.

ON FLOTILLA 

Another day. Another destination. A flotilla 

is a great way to enjoy a sociable sailing 

holiday. You will spend your time in the 

company of the Neilson lead crew and a 

group of other yachts - known as a flotilla. 

Not only do you experience the 

independence of sailing your own yacht 

from port to port during the day, you also 

get to choose between pleasant evenings 

in the company of your fellow sailors, or 

spending them relaxing on your own 

deck. Life on flotilla is a holiday that just 

gets better every day.

ON ARRIVAL 

The Neilson team will be there to greet you 

on arrival and show you to your yacht. Your 

lead crew will then join you on board to 

answer any questions you may have, show 

you where everything is and just check that 

everything is ship shape. 

The remainder of the afternoon and evening 

is then yours to spend as you wish - enjoy a 

refreshing drink on deck, get to know some 

of your fellow sailors or explore the local 

area. You are then fully prepared for the start 

of your adventure the following day. 

A DAY IN THE LIFE... 

As the morning sun peeps over your bow, 

the lead crew will join you for a chat about 

the day ahead, confirming the evening’s 

destination together with some great places 

to explore and idyllic lunch stops. 

It’s entirely up to you how you reach your 

destination. You may want to get straight 

there or take your time, anchoring for lunch 

in a secluded bay, the day is yours to enjoy as 

you please. And if you wish to hook up with 

other parties on your flotilla they’re just a 

VHF radio call away - as is your lead crew, in 

case you need any help or advice. 

As the afternoon drifts into evening, your 

lead crew will be waiting to help you into 

your mooring and point out the location of 

shower facilities, bars and tavernas.

YOUR YACHTING EXPERIENCE 

Our three sailing areas require varying levels of 

confidence and experience. It is important you 

select the right sailing area for your party to 

ensure your safety and enjoyment. Full details 

can be found on the relevant pages and more 

information on experience levels on page 76. 

If you have never sailed a yacht before or feel your 

skills may be a bit rusty you can combine a week’s 

flotilla with a week ashore to take advantage of 

our yacht courses. For more information on our 

Stay and Sail holidays please turn to page 16. 

SKIPPERED CHARTER 

If you are an experienced sailor looking to regain 

your confidence afloat then you can pre-book a 

member of the Neilson yacht team to join you 

on a skippered charter. 

They will spend the day with you, before retiring 

to the lead boat in the evening. This option is 

available for one to three days for a supplement 

of £150 per yacht per day and is not suitable for 

beginners who should complete an Introduction 

to Yachting course.

BAREBOAT 

CHARTER 

Our Bareboat or Independent charter 

option gives more experienced sailors the 

freedom to sail where, when and however 

they please. No itinerary and no set 

routes. A bareboat charter holiday is the 

ultimate getaway. 

Plot your own route around the many picturesque 

bays, lively little harbour towns and fishing villages 

scattered about the coastlines of our huge sailing 

areas. Spend as long as you like at any stop, returning 

to your favourite places over and over, or keep on the 

move to discover something new at every turn. 

Of course, since you’re with Neilson you’ll still have the 

benefit of our expertise. Before you depart, our 

bareboat co-ordinator will go through the route you’ve 

planned, pointing out the highlights of your journey. 

It’s always worth picking their brains, because they 

often have a nugget of advice that could really make 

your holiday, and naturally, they’ll also call or text you 

each morning to pass on weather conditions and check 

that everything on the yacht is as it should be. 

Parga

EXPERIENCE LEVELS 

When booking bareboat charter we ask that 

at least two people aboard are aged 18 years 

or over and have plenty of sailing knowledge 

and experience, having been in charge of a 

sailing vessel for several cruises, possibly on 

previous flotilla holidays. Both must be 

comfortable sailing in a range of conditions. 

If this level of experience cannot be satisfied, 

a flotilla holiday may be more appropriate.

flotilla holidays.

STAY & SAIL 

Stay and Sail is a great way to combine a 

relaxing week’s beach holiday with a funfilled 

week on a yacht. 

As with all our other holidays, you can use the first 

week however you like. You can learn to sail from 

scratch in a few days and brush up your skills if you 

are feeling a bit rusty. Or you can try our other 

activities - windsurfing, mountain biking, waterskiing, 

or just relax by the pool and soak up the sun 

(activities vary depending on resort). 

This is a fantastic holiday choice for couples, families 

and larger groups of all abilities, because everybody 

gets to do what they want to do.

STAY 

Spend your first week ashore in a Neilson 

Beachclub or Beachplus resort. All our hotels are 

the perfect place to build up your energy and 

skills for your week afloat. 

You have a number of options in the first week. 

If you’re a complete beginner, our qualified 

instructors can teach you to handle the yacht in 

just four days. You can take the course on your 

own, as a family or with friends. Children aged 

between 13 and 15 can also join their parents 

on a course (this can really make a family 

holiday) or just join in the fun, on and off the 

water, at our children’s clubs. 

Or if you already know a thing or two about 

sailing, you can take a refresher course and brush 

up your skills to give your confidence a boost. 

If you know your way around a yacht, why not 

just relax and recharge your batteries for a 

week? Or try one of the many activities on offer 

at some of our resorts. (The range of additional 

activities available is dependent upon your 

choice of resort). 

Please note there are no activity options or 

children’s clubs available from The Athos Hotel 

in Nidri. Yacht training courses at all four Stay 

and Sail bases are available at a supplement, see 

price panel on relevant page for details.

After your choice of week ashore you will be 

ready to join your yacht and the rest of the 

flotilla for your second week afloat. Enjoy the 

Mediterranean sunshine and clear, glistening 

sea from the deck of your own yacht as you 

sail from one village harbour to another. Life 

on the open seas is an exciting adventure and 

often breathtaking. 

Your lead crew are always on call to assist you. 

They endeavour to leave port last and arrive 

first ensuring they are always available for the 

trickier points of casting off and mooring up 

should you need assistance.

ONE WEEK 

LEARN TO 

SAIL 

Perfect for complete beginners – learn to 

sail with confidence and enjoy a taster of 

life on flotilla. 

Our two-week Stay and Sail holidays have always been 

a great way to learn to sail. A week of learning the ropes 

on a fun Introduction to Yachting course, followed by 

a week sailing on flotilla. However a two week holiday 

isn’t right for everyone, which is why you can join us on 

our unique one week Learn to Sail holidays.

WHAT TO EXPECT 

At the start of your holiday you will move 

straight onto your chosen yacht, which 

will be your home for the week. The 

yacht will be moored up on the Neilson 

pontoon or in the local harbour. 

During the first three days of the holiday 

you will learn to sail following the 

Introduction to Yachting course. On the 

fourth day you will set sail and meet up 

with the rest of the flotilla, all under the 

close supervision of a Neilson instructor. 

This is the perfect opportunity to put 

into practise the skills you have learnt 

during the previous three days. 

By the end of the fourth day you will 

have completed the Introduction to 

Yachting course which leads to the RYA 

National Sailing Certificate for Keelboats, 

and your instructor will leave your yacht, 

confident you have the skills and 

confidence required to join the rest of

the flotilla, sailing under your own steam 

with the reassurance of the lead boat 

and crew nearby. 

The one week Learn to Sail price is 

inclusive of your Introduction to 

Yachting course. The Introduction to 

Yachting course will take place on your 

own yacht or one of our training yachts 

and at least two people from your yacht 

must complete the Introduction to 

Yachting course. 

We can also offer the option to 

upgrade, for a supplement, to bed and 

breakfast at The Athos Hotel or Nautica 

Bay Beachclub during your training. 

The one week Learn to Sail option is 

only available in Nidri, Porto Heli and 

Halkidiki.

YACHT 

TRAINING 

COURSES 

It’s not as hard as you might imagine to 

pick up the skills to navigate a yacht around 

the Mediterranean coastline. With our tried 

and tested courses and fantastic yacht 

trainers, you will be sailing with confidence 

in no time at all. We offer a number of 

courses to suit all ages and abilities. 

LEARN TO SAIL IN FOUR DAYS – 

INTRODUCTION TO YACHTING 

(NATIONAL SAILING CERTIFICATE) 

A course designed to be fun but informative, equipping 

complete beginners with the knowledge and skills 

necessary to skipper their own yacht on flotilla. The 

syllabus we follow leads to the RYA National Sailing 

Certificate for Keelboats. After having completed the 

course most new sailors will be awarded their certificate. 

The skills needed can be learnt in four days, whilst 

covering the necessary manoeuvres you will be hopping 

from pontoon to quayside to bay to harbour. Occasionally 

stopping for picnics, taverna lunches or swimming, there 

will be time to digest all that you are learning at a relaxed 

but steady pace. A maximum of five guests will train per 

yacht with an instructor. Please note: We try to run training 

on four consecutive days but this may not always be 

possible, your training may be split between the beginning 

and end of the week. 

At the end of your course you’ll feel confident and 

competent enough to skipper your own yacht within a 

flotilla environment. Your lead crew will be aware of your 

training and will be on hand to offer their full support 

during your week afloat. 

BRUSH-UP COURSE – TWO DAYS 

Ideal for those with a basic or fading knowledge of sailing, 

or experienced dinghy sailors looking to make the step to 

big boat sailing. This course is tailored around your 

existing experience and looks to build your ability to sail 

confidently once more. 

You will spend two days with one of our RYA instructors 

who will assist you in practising and reviewing the skills 

you wish to improve. 

The Brush-Up course is also suitable for confident, 

advanced dinghy sailors who sail regularly at a high level. 

This course enables you to transfer your well-practised 

dinghy skills onto a larger class of boat. Beginner or 

intermediate dinghy sailors should book the Introduction 

to Yachting course.

PRIVATE COURSES – 

IDEAL FOR FAMILIES 

Our Private Introduction to Yachting 

and Brush-Up courses are designed for 

groups or families who wish to learn 

together, on the same yacht, up to a 

maximum of five people. The course 

content is the same as detailed 

previously but you are guaranteed to be 

learning as one group without having 

to share your training yacht with 

another party. 

The added advantage of a private 

course is that we can welcome 

13 to 15 year olds aboard when 

accompanied by a parent. Younger 

sailors will relish the opportunity to 

learn with their family as a forerunner 

to the flotilla week of their holiday. 

Private courses are priced per 

yacht at four times the cost of the 

individual course. 

ONE WEEK LEARN TO SAIL 

If you can only get away on holiday for 

one week or spending two weeks 

learning to sail is not an option for you, 

then our one week Learn to Sail holiday 

is a perfect solution - half the week will 

be spent at one of our yacht bases living 

on your yacht whilst learning to sail on 

the Introduction to Yachting course. For 

the second part of the week, you will 

join your fellow sailors on flotilla. For 

more information see page 18.

YOUR PERFECT 

BIG BOAT 

We have a range of superbly equipped 

craft from 31 to 40 feet, featuring tiller or 

wheel steering. The most recent addition 

to our fleet is the Dufour 405. 

The Bénéteau fleet are excellent flotilla 

yachts, although perhaps not as fast as the 

Dufour they still perform well under sail, 

whilst providing great levels of comfort 

and space.

RESPONSIBLE 

TOURISM 

Hopefully we’re all smart enough to realise 

that everything we do has an effect on 

something else. As a company, we realise 

that going on holiday has an impact on 

the local population, wildlife and ecology. 

Our belief is that we can create holidays that don’t 

ruin the environment. We’re committed to 

responsible, sustainable business practices, and equally 

committed to giving you the information you need to 

choose a holiday that will be as good for the place 

you visit as it is for you. We are proud to support The 

Travel Foundation, Travelife and The Green Blue - 

organisations working hard to meet these goals. 

For further information on our Responsible Business 

Policy and other initiatives currently being undertaken by 

Neilson, please visit www.neilson.co.uk/responsibletravel 

or email responsible.business@neilson.com 

THE GREEN BLUE 

We are currently working on a number of projects with 

The Green Blue. The Green Blue is an environmental 

awareness initiative by the British Marine Federation and 

the Royal Yachting Association - for everyone 

who enjoys life on the water. Find out more 

at www.thegreenblue.org.uk 

TRAVELIFE - SUSTAINABILITY IN TOURISM 

We have been auditing all Neilson run hotels and yacht 

operations to see how they perform against a 

sustainability checklist created by Travelife, an 

independent initiative, funded by the European Union 

and supported by the Federation of Tour Operators. 

Hotels are classified according to their sustainability 

performance and recognised with awards, which are 

displayed throughout our brochures. 

YACHTS AND RECYCLING 

We recognise that we operate our yachting holidays in 

pristine marine environments and we understand the 

importance of conserving them for future generations. All 

our yachts are supplied with a handbook, which contains 

tips for our guests on how to help conserve the unspoiled 

locations they love to sail in. All our old oil is siphoned into 

cans to avoid any possibility of spillage. Where possible, all 

materials are reused in some way, for example, old yacht 

ropes become mooring lines for dinghies and old sailcloth 

is made into laundry bags or car covers, even old uniforms 

are used for cleaning engines.

THE TRAVEL FOUNDATION 

We’re big supporters of The Travel 

Foundation, a UK charity that cares for 

the people and places we love to visit. 

It is helping the travel industry take 

effective action on sustainable tourism 

in destinations across the world. 

Anyone who takes a holiday can 

make a positive difference when they 

travel and it can make a huge 

difference to our favourite 

destinations. It can help protect the 

natural environment, traditions and 

culture - the things that make 

holidays special. And it can ensure 

that local people benefit from 

tourism, ensuring there are great 

places for us all to visit for 

generations to come. Find out more

SAIL 4 CANCER - 

OUR CHARITY OF CHOICE 

We are proud to support Sail 4 

Cancer, an amazing charity raising 

funds for cancer treatment and 

research through sailing events. We 

also help Sail 4 Cancer to provide 

sailing holidays for cancer patients and 

their families. Find out more about Sail

THE IONIAN 

Greece 

Rising out of the clear, turquoise sea, midway between Greece and 

Italy, the Ionian islands are a rich colourful tapestry of vineyards, olive 

groves and fruit orchards. One of the Mediterranean’s most popular 

yachting destinations, the gentle breezes, sparkling seas, picturesque 

islands and sheltered harbours draw sailors back year after year. 

The southern Ionian is ideal for beginners and the less experienced sailor 

due to its sheltered waters and generally shorter routes. The distance 

between one port and the next is never more than a few miles giving you 

plenty of time to explore hidden coves en route, to anchor and enjoy the 

beauty of the area. Meanwhile the northern Ionian offers more adventurous 

sailing with slightly longer passages and steady breezes.

Our sailing area in the Peloponnese is based around the Argolic 

peninsula. Studded with ancient ruins it divides the eastern Saronic 

gulf from the western Argolic gulf. Steeped in history, this fascinating 

part of Greece is a great sailing area with a stunning, unspoilt 

coastline waiting to be explored. 

With slightly higher winds than the Ionian, mile upon mile of contrasting 

scenery, unspoilt little villages, harbours and anchorages, together with many 

places of great historical significance including Navplion, Epidavros and 

Monemvasia, the Peloponnese offers a unique sailing area and an experience 

which should not be missed. 

INDEPENDENT TRAVEL 

If our scheduled flight with Aegean Airlines 

or British Airways from Heathrow doesn’t 

work for you, why not book your own flight 

from one of the many other airlines flying to 

Athens. This gives you greater flexibility and 

a discount on the holiday price. Please note 

you must still arrive in Porto Heli on a 

Saturday. 

Greece 

ATHENS RETURN TRANSFER 

The flying catamaran takes you from Porto 

Heli to Pireaus Port, where a bus will take 

you on a visit to the Acropolis area where 

you will have approximately two hours to 

explore. You will then be transferred to the 

airport for your flight home. There is a 

charge of approximately €70 and this option 

is only available on the return journey, 

bookable locally and is subject to flight 

times, numbers and availability.

The two week flotilla allows for 

more free sailing and a 

thorough exploration of this 

classic sailing area. 










Day 1 – Saturday – Arrive at flotilla base in 

Porto Heli 



Day 2 – Sunday – Plaka – 16 miles – 3 hours 




Day 3 – Monday – Ieraka– 25 miles – 5 hours 

Ieraka is typical picture postcard Greece, with 

whitewashed houses trimmed with cobalt blue. 

The simple quayside is home to a couple of tavernas. 

Day 4 – Tuesday – Monemvasia – 11 miles – 2 

hours 

The historical port of Monemvasia is a beautiful 

medieval town with cobbled streets and many 

excellent restaurants. A steep cliff path leads to the 

old town on top of the peninsula and further up the 

precariously perched Byzantine church of Aghia Sofia. 

Day 5 – Wednesday – Kiparissi – 20 miles – 4 hours 

The bay is simply majestic. Slopes rise precipitously 

to razor sharp spines, from clear deep water. We 

moor along the quay in Chapel Cove, where there 

is fantastic snorkelling nearby.

and the village is relatively untouched by tourism. 

Day 13 – Thursday – Spetses – 10 miles – 2 hours 

Just off the southern tip of the Argolic peninsula is 

Spetses, the island is a hideaway for many visiting 

Athenians, giving it a stylish air.

Greece 

Welcome to the Northern Aegean, a wonderful sailing area based 

around the coastline of Halkidiki, with picturesque bays and traditional 

villages. 

The islands and mainland of the northern Aegean are rich in ancient history and mythology – 

our flotillas will be sailing the same seas as the Greek fleets of legend on their way to the 

ancient city of Troy. Less crowded than the Cyclades and Sporades, moorings and safe 

anchorages are easier to find and consistent summer winds blowing steadily from the north 

create ideal sailing conditions for all abilities. The flotilla stops you will visit have a rustic, local 

feel. You can expect to raft and anchor up in bays more often than tying up to quay sides 

with their associated facilities such as showers and shops. This all adds to the wonderful 

experience and unique nature of this fantastic sailing area.

Northern Aegean Delivery Trip 

Experienced sailors will love the challenges of this 3 week 

delivery trip, bringing our yachts from their winter base in Nidri 

to Halkidiki. You will experience night sailing and some long 

legs of up to 60 nautical miles. During the trip some nights will 

be spent in bays at anchor. We require two persons aged 18 or 

over aboard each boat to have plenty of sailing experience, 

having been in charge of a sailing vessel for several cruises. 

They must both be comfortable sailing in a range of conditions. 

If this level of experience cannot be satisfied, the Delivery Trip is 

not suitable for you and a flotilla holiday may be more 

appropriate. 

Guests on the May delivery will fly into Athens on the 1st May 

2011 and transfer by coach to Nidri, the starting point for the 

delivery, approx.7 hours away before sailing to Nea Skioni on 

the Halkidiki peninsula via the Corinth Canal, Saronic Gulf and 

Sporades. Guests will then fly out of Thessaloniki 

approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from Nea Skioni on the 21st 

May 2011. The October delivery guests will fly into 

Thessaloniki on the 1st October 2011 and return to the UK 

from Athens on the 23rd October 2011. 

The flotilla route detailed below is for example only and may 

change depending on weather conditions and lead crew 

recommendations. 

Delivery route: 

Nidri, - Sivota - Messilongi - Galaxidi - Corinth Town - Aigina - 

Lavrion - Porto Rafti - Aliverion – Orei - Skiathos - Porto Koufo - 

Nea Skioni The October delivery will run the same route in 

reverse

STAY AND SAIL HOLIDAYS 

WHERE TO GO 

The best of both worlds – and a great 

option for yachting beginners. 

Stay and Sail is a great way to combine 

a relaxing week’s beach holiday with a 

fun-filled week on a yacht. As with all 

our other holidays, you can use the first 

week however you like. You can learn to 

sail from scratch in a few days. You can 

brush up your skills if you’re a little 

rusty. You can try our other activities – 

windsurfing, waterskiing, tennis, for 

instance – or just relax by the pool 

and soak up the sun. 

Follow this with a 

week sailing a yacht on 

flotilla, discovering the coastlines of 

Greece and making new friends along 

the way. 

All of which make it a fantastic holiday 

choice for couples, families and larger 

groups of all abilities, because everybody 

gets to do what they want to do.

Located in a corner of rare natural beauty with tiny coves, green hills and secluded beaches, the aptly 

named Retreat offers an idyllic base for your shorebased week. 

Clinging to the side of a tree-covered coastal hillside, the various buildings are linked by steps and paths 

leading down to the shores of the Ionian. A collection of beaches form the edge of our watersports area 

and a shallow sand bar makes it possible to wade across to the tiny uninhabited island of Mourtemeno. 

Throughout the hotel grounds, great attention has been paid to landscaping with an abundance of 

flowers and trees adding to the natural beauty of the setting.

One Week Learn to Sail - Porto Heli, GREECE

YACHTING EXPERIENCE LEVELS 

When booking a Flotilla, Stay and Sail or Bareboat 

holiday, we ask you to rate your level of experience. 

This is a critical part of your booking information, as it 

helps us to ensure you enjoy an appropriate holiday. 

This guide helps you determine whether you’re ready 

to set sail, or if you need some tuition first. If in any 

doubt about your experience levels, please call our 

advisors for further information. 

Experienced sailors - Y3 

Sailed before but limited mileage - Y2 

Limited or no experience - Y1 

BAREBOAT 

We require two persons aged 18 or over aboard each 

boat to have plenty of sailing experience, having 

been in charge of a sailing vessel for several cruises, 

possibly on previous flotilla holidays. They must both 

be comfortable sailing in a range of conditions. If this 

level of experience cannot be satisfied, a Flotilla 

holiday may be more appropriate. 

Required Experience Level - Y3 

76 

FLOTILLA 

We require two persons aged 18 or over aboard each 

boat to have several days’ active experience in charge 

of a yacht. This experience may have been on a 

previous holiday, though both sailors should have had 

time in charge. If this level of experience cannot be 

satisfied, a Stay and Sail holiday, coupled with a 

training course in week one, may be more appropriate. 


STAY AND SAIL 

If yacht training courses are to be completed during 

week one: 

All we ask is that two people aboard each boat are 

18 or over, have a reasonable level of fitness and are 

keen to learn. 


If training is not to be completed during week one: 

We ask two people to have experience as for a Flotilla 

holiday (see above). 


ONE WEEK LEARN TO SAIL 

The introduction to Yachting course is a compulsory 

element of this holiday. At least two people aboard 

each yacht aged 18 or over must complete this course. 


NOTES TO TRAVEL AGENTS 

Twin centre holidays (like Stay and Sail) are only 

available through ‘Make a Booking’ on LTS. Once you 

have entered the flight, answer ‘Y’ to the two-centre

ADVICE FOR 

FAMILIES 

Travelling with your family may take 

a little extra planning than a nonfamily 

holiday. Below we have 

detailed some information on the 

facilities available for families and 

other useful information to allow you 

to make the most of your time away. 

CHILDREN’S MEALS 

Meals are provided according to the board basis 

of your accommodation. 

Breakfast - Is included and is taken with 

the parents. 

Lunch - We are able to supervise all 

children’s clubs over lunchtime (with the 

exception of those days where the club starts at 

2.30pm), with the exception of Starfish, the 

under 2s. Lunch is included according to the 

board basis of your accommodation. 

Children’s Tea/Evening meal - Children’s tea 

is available at 5pm everyday, for all children 

under 5 years, this is supervised within the 

children’s club or you can attend with your 

child. We offer wholesome, healthy menus that 

will appeal to your children and count towards 

their 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. 

In our Beachclubs - Kenya, Vassiliki, Porto Heli 

and Dahab children’s meals are not included, if 

you would like your child to have supervised 

lunch within the clubs the cost is in the region of 

£20-£35 per week and is payable in resort using 

local currency. This money will also cover the 

purchase of snacks and drinks during the day. 

CHILDREN’S CLUBS OPERATING TIMES 

Club operating times are for guidance only. Times 

vary according to each centre, local activities and 

weather conditions. 

Beachclubs - all clubs run from 9.30am - 5.30pm 

6 days a week. 

Beachplus Clubs - Hot Shots run from 9.30am 

- 5.30pm 6 days a week. All other clubs run from 

9.30am - 5.30pm 4 days a week and 2.30pm - 

10.00pm 2 days a week (with a break after 

children’s tea to allow for showering and 

changing). Please note Starfish have a two hour 

unsupervised lunch break. 

Clubs are not available on transfer day. 

78 

EVENING CARE AND SLEEPCLUBS 

Beachplus Clubs - Children’s clubs operate from 

2.30pm to 10.00pm on two days, leaving you 

free to make the most of your non-inclusive 

evenings. This gives parents the freedom to 

explore the town and sample the local delights 

or simply enjoy the evening in the hotel 

restaurant, while children sleep soundly or enjoy 

the evening entertainment of our children’s 

clubs. 

Three nights a week (on inclusive meal nights), we 

offer a 3 hour evening session for all children aged 

5-17 years. The evening sessions offer a variety of 

activities designed to keep your children occupied 

whilst you enjoy your evening meal at our 

restaurant. 

On the same evenings we offer a three-hour 

babysitting service in our sleep club for all children 

aged from 4 months - 5 years. We settle the 

children down for the evening following their 

individual bedtime routines in our well-equipped 

crèche complete with cots and sleeping mats. This 

service is available for £20 per evening; any 

siblings can be booked for an additional £10. 

Sleepclubs are subject to availability and bookable 

in resort. 

Beachclubs - We are able to offer a 2 hour 

evening session for all 5-12 year olds twice a 

week. 

BABY BOOSTER AND TODDLER PACKS 

A Baby Booster Pack costs £30 per week and 

includes a kettle and microwave in your room, 

a bottle steriliser, a chair style baby bouncer and 

a changing mat. Baby wipes, disposable nappies, 

processed food and formula milk are all available 

to purchase locally, either at the hotel or from 

the nearest village. 

A toddler pack costs £15 per week and includes 

a kettle, microwave and changing mat in your 

room. 

HEALTH MATTERS 

If your child falls ill during the holiday, you will 

be expected to take over care until there is no 

further risk of the illness spreading. Please note a 

doctor’s certificate may be required. 

ADDITIONAL NEEDS 

We operate an equal opportunities and inclusion 

policy in all of our children’s clubs, we work 

together with you to cater to your child’s 

individual needs. Please assist us by informing 

our reservations team when booking of any 

additional requirements your child may have. 

The more information you can provide us with 

the more certain we can be of catering to you 

and your child’s needs. 

Some children do not settle into our clubs, we will 

work with you to help them, however if they fail to 

do so we may ask you to remove the child to avoid 

causing them and other children distress. 

SUPERVISON AND RESPONSIBILITY 

We will be responsible for your children whilst 

they are in our care, we will ensure that they are 

supervised at all times. We ask that you do the 

same whilst they are in your care. Remember: 

Children are safer when supervised. 

Please note: Due to best practice and health and 

safety reasons we do not offer in room 

babysitting. We do not promote the use of 

babylistening devices and children should be 

supervised at all times, never being left in rooms 

unsupervised. Our child protection policy is 

available on request. 

For more information on health and safety, care 

ratios, evening care, what to bring, menus and 

sample days see www.neilson.co.uk/Children.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING? 

In all of our properties we will supply cots and 

baby baths in your room, highchairs in the 

restaurant, pushchairs, nappy changing facilities 

and potties in the crèche. Deciding what to take 

on holiday and what to leave behind can be 

difficult, especially if you are new to Active 

holidays. After many tried and tested holidays 

overseas, we have put together a list of 

recommended items. 

Bag - Labelled with your child’s name 

Sun Cream - Factor 25+, spray and roll-ons are 

particularly good for babies and small children 

Swimsuit - With UV protection for younger 

children and babies 

Beach towel (these can be hired at our 

Beachplus clubs) 

T-shirt you don't mind getting wet or rash vest 

Beach shoes Hat Sunglasses 

Those children attending children’s clubs 

receive a bag containing a rash vest and hat. 

Trainers or shoes with straps and closed toe 

Nappies and nappy sacks Aqua nappies 

Wet wipes Nappy cream 

Comforters/favourite toys, if required 

Formula milk Bibs Bottles/Beakers 

Steriliser - If not renting a baby booster pack 

Pushchair with parasol/baby carrier 

Disposable/roll up/fold up changing mat - 

very good for journey to and from resort 

Please note that although nappies, formula and 

wipes are available to purchase in most resorts, 

if your child is used to certain brands we would 

suggest that you bring your own. For hygiene 

reasons all children who are not toilet trained 

must use aqua nappies whilst in the swimming 

pool. 

TRAVELLING TIPS FOR FAMILIES 

If you are breastfeeding on a plane, try to time 

feeds to coincide with take-off or landing or 

both. It will help relieve the pain associated 

with ears ‘popping’. For older babies and 

toddlers, beakers of drink during take off and 

landing or cartons with straws are useful. 

These can also be a good distraction - 

particularly if your child does not normally 

have them. It is also a good idea to take a few 

cartons of formula, if your child uses them and 

pre-sterilised bottles in case you have any 

delays getting to resort. 

Although you will receive a meal on the plane 

it is always a good idea to take a few snacks 

with you. Tried and tested successes include: 

popcorn, rice cakes, crackers, raw fruit and 

vegetables. Try to make sure children do not 

eat too much as it might make them feel sick 

when sat on a bus travelling to resort. 

Small plastic bags are excellent for storing any 

soggy left over snacks and for any wet items. 

While you don't want to weigh yourself down 

with any more luggage than you have to, a 

few well-chosen small toys could mean the 

difference between a bored, fractious child 

and a contented, stimulated little travelling 

companion(s). Anything light, small and soft is 

a good idea, including cars, storybooks, 

crayons/colouring books, stickers, favourite 

toy and hand held computer games are 

always good options. 

If travelling with a baby or small child it’s 

worth packing an extra t-shirt in your hand 

luggage to cope with any accidents during the 

journey. 

TOP TIPS FOR FAMILIES ON FLOTILLA 

The following are some proven ideas from other 

families and Neilson staff. 

As well as there being lifejackets for everyone 

we also have buoyancy aids that small children 

can wear all the time while on deck for added 

security. 

If with very small children, it can be a good 

idea to ask them to stay in the cockpit at all 

times whilst the boat is under sail. If the boat 

is leaning over then it can be a little harder to 

walk along the top decks. 

If moving around the outside of the yacht 

then please ask them to walk and not run, as 

there can be plenty of things to catch little 

toes on. 

The forepeak cabin is usually the smallest so is 

a good size for the children and as you 

generally anchor stern to each evening, it will 

be furthest away from the quayside. 

When parking the boat for the first couple of 

times it can be a good idea to have your 

children below deck whilst you master this 

under the watchful eye of your skipper. Give 

the children a job so they feel involved. 

We can equip our yachts with netting - this is 

a mesh net that attaches along both sides of 

the yacht, making it safer for them to move 

around the boat. 

Your flotilla mate will give your children lots of 

things to do during the day and usually 

encourages the children to meet up, with a 

few parents once you have parked up for the 

early evening in your new port of call. 

Once your confidence and that of your 

children increases then it’s great to get them 

involved in sailing the boat and taking part 

in the fun.

different things, so we have seven clubs -Starfish, Sea Urchins, 

Surfbusters, Sharksters, Surf Squad, Hot Shots and TAG. Cots are 

available at each centre and must be pre-booked. 

VALUE FOR MONEY 

The basic price may be more expensive than your average beach 

holiday but by the time you have added up all the extra costs of 

keeping your family or friends amused you will see what great 

value these holidays are. There is no way you could achieve such 

value or quality by trying to piece together an active holiday once 

in resort. 

POSSIBLE SURCHARGES - PRICE 

INCREASES AFTER BOOKING 

Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, 

taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or 

embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and 

exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements 

may change after you have booked. However there will be no 

change within 30 days of your departure. 

We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase 

equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which 

excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You 

will be charged for the amount over and above that plus an 

administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to 

cover agents commission. If this means that you have to pay an 

increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel 

arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to 

another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or 

higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower 

quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling 

or receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any 

amendment charges. 

We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid 

if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. 

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. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the 

changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, 

then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that 

travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and 

some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel 

due to contractual and other protection in place. The price of your 

holiday was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the 

‘Financial Times Guide to World Review Currencies’ on 31/07/2009 

in relation to the rate of 1.1585 Euro/Pound, 1.5585 US$/Pound. 

GROUP BOOKING CONDITIONS 

1. All offers are subject to availability and the number of group 

offers per departure may be limited or withdrawn without prior 

notice. Group offers may be limited to selected hotels in our 

brochure. Please ask for details. 

2. Children do not count towards group bookings. 

3. Free places cover the panel holiday price and flight supplement. 

Supplements for meals, under-occupancy, room facilities & 

insurance are excluded. 

4. The group must book exactly the same holiday at the same 

time. We may allow large groups to travel from different airports 

on application, in which case the free place will apply to the 

cheapest holiday. 

5. Free places will be dependent on the number of full paying 

adults travelling, free places will be calculated on the final number 

of passengers travelling. Cancellation of group numbers may result 

in the loss of Free places/group discount. 

6. Group offers are not available on scheduled flights. 

7. All passengers must pay the deposit. A Group option can be held 

on brochured holidays for 7 days while deposits are collected, 

however this is dependent on availability. 

8. All passengers’ names must be supplied 8 weeks before 

departure or at the time of booking (with deposits). Subsequent 

name changes will incur an amendment fee. When supplying 

passengers’ names, you must at the same time also confirm your 

rooming list - by this we mean who is to share a room with who. If 

you fail to do so, we will allocate rooms and cannot accept any 

liability if these arrangements do not meet with your approval. 

9. Names may be required immediately at time of booking on 

some departure dates or destinations. 

10. Any person who acts as the leader of a group (whether or not 

they travel on the holiday), shall be the ‘lead name’ with all the 

usual responsibilities associated with that role as set out in our 

booking conditions. In addition, the group leader shall be 

responsible for confirming all travelling passenger details to either 

the Travel Agent (when booking through an ABTA member agent) 

or directly to our Reservations department. They will be responsible 

for paying all sums that are payable in respect of the booking as a 

whole (including any amendment/cancellation charges), and for 

passing on accurately and in full to travelling passengers any and 

all information issued by the Travel Agent or us, including but not 

limited to passing on copies of our confirmation invoices and a 

copy of our booking conditions.

Special Arrangements for Groups 

Groups requiring special arrangements relating to flights (extra 

baggage, equipment etc), or in resort (extra room hire etc) must 

be aware that any special arrangements are subject to availability 

and may incur an extra charge. 

WHAT TO BRING 

Yacht and Dinghy Sailors 

Sailing gloves - comfort and protection for ‘office hands’. Light, 

waterproof spray tops to protect sailors from the chilling effect of 

spray in strong winds. Beach slippers, deck shoes or wet suit boots 

provide more comfortable sailing. Wetsuits for early or late season. 

Windsurfers 

We provide a good selection of harnesses although you may prefer 

to bring your own. Windsurfers should bring a wetsuit for early or 

late season. Expert windsurfers maybe more comfortable with 

summer wetsuits to protect them from wind chill throughout the 

season or a rash vest to keep the sun off. Surf shoes help offset the 

effects of sun oils on the boards and help to avoid stubbed toes. 

Waterskiers and Wakeboarders 

We provide a limited range of wetsuits to wear whilst waterskiing 

or wakeboarding. There is a range of ski and board sizes and 

styles to choose from but if you have personal favourites, please 

feel free to bring them with you (please check with your airline 

for carriage arrangements). 

Mountain Bikers 

We supply helmets and gloves, but bring your own if you prefer. 

Bring trainers or other sports footwear. Padded Lycra shorts – a 

good investment for comfortable cycling! Bum bag – a useful 

addition. If you are planning on bringing your own bike please 

check with your airline for carriage arrangements. 

Tennis 

We provide a range of rackets and balls, but feel free to bring your 

own if you prefer. 

Divers 

If you don’t wish to bring your own equipment it can be hired 

at time of booking. Tanks and weights are always provided free 

of charge. 

General 

You won’t need many clothes on our holidays! Just plenty of 

swimwear, casual holiday clothes and a sweater for the evenings. 

Evening dress is informal. 

Storage space is often limited, so travel light. Those on yacht 

holidays have even less storage space and should pack everything 

into soft holdalls. 

A small soft rucksack or cool bag is extremely useful for carrying 

picnics, towels and spare clothes. Bring warm clothes in May and 

early June and after mid-September if travelling to our 

Mediterranean resorts. 

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL 

HEALTH PRECAUTIONS 

Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide. You 

should take health advice about your specific needs as early as 

possible. Sources of information include the following websites: 

fco.gov.uk, www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org.uk, your 

General Practitioner or a specialist clinic. 

Whilst many Western European and North American destinations 

currently have no compulsory inoculation requirements, advice 

about destinations can change. Customers travelling to worldwide 

destinations are recommended to seek advice from the sources 

mentioned above and, where recommended, obtain vaccinations 

or tablets for protection. 

If you are visiting a European Union (EU) country you should obtain 

a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and take it with you 

when you travel. The EHIC can be obtained free of charge by 

completing an application form available from main Post Offices 

and from www.dh.gov.uk/travellers. Please note, the EHIC is in 

addition to Travel Insurance, not instead of it. 

For further information on vaccination requirements, you should 

visit the website of the National Travel Health Network and Centre, 

www.nathnac.org or call NHS Direct on 0845 4647. 

TRAVEL ADVICE 

The Foreign and Commonwealth Travel Advice Unit issues and 

frequently updates advice for those travelling outside the UK. The 

advice includes general warnings and specific information for the 

benefit of travellers. Ask your travel agent for details of any current 

advice for the country or countries which you plan to visit when 

you book your holiday. You are also advised to check this 

information before you go by accessing the latest Travel Advice on 

www.fco.gov.uk, alternatively e-mail 

traveladvicepublicenquiries@fco.gov.uk or telephone the Foreign 

Office Travel Advice Unit on 0845 850 2829. 

TRAVELLERS WITH REDUCED 

MOBILITY OR DISABILITY 

Overseas Accommodation and Overseas Transport 

Arrangements 

The majority of overseas accommodation, overseas transport 

(including transfers) and other holiday services provided overseas 

are not equipped to cater for the needs of many disabled 

holidaymakers. Furthermore the natural terrain and the layout of 

some resorts can sometimes make life difficult for wheelchair users. 

It is therefore important, if you have any disability, that the 

appropriate enquiries are made about the suitability of particular 

accommodation, resorts, transport and services, and that you are 

fully satisfied you have made the correct choice before you book 

and confirm your holiday. Please note: if special arrangements need 

to be made for you an extra charge may have to be levied, this 

may be the case either before you go or when you arrive in resort. 

We cannot be held responsible if you fail to tell us about special 

needs/requirements that will affect your holiday experience and 

this means we will not compensate you. 

For customers who require support or advice prior to booking, 

please contact our Special Assistance Team who will contact our 

suppliers for further information. 

Simply call our Special Assistance Team on 0800 107 3409. (This is 

a dedicated number for special assistance enquiries and we are 

unable to transfer calls to other departments). 

At the Airport and Onboard Your Flight 

If you have a disability, reduced mobility or special need that you 

require assistance with, either at the airport or onboard the aircraft 

please let us know as soon as possible. We would like to know if 

you have a preexisting medical condition or recent injury, so that 

we can answer any questions and ensure there are no concerns 

about your fitness to fly. Please speak to your travel agent or call 

our Special Assistance Team on 0800 107 3409 and we will pass 

details onto the relevant airline and airport. If you do not request 

this in advance the airlines and airports cannot guarantee that this 

service will be available, as there is a limit on the number of 

passengers with reduced mobility and the number of wheelchairs 

the airline is able to assist on the day with no pre-notification. 

We recommend you contact us at the earliest opportunity, we need 

information regarding your need for assistance no later than 48 

hours before departure, so we can inform the responsible 

Managing Body at the airport(s) and your airline. If your booking is 

made later, the airport/airline will make all reasonable efforts to 

provide the service required but cannot guarantee that this can be 

done successfully. Please let us know if you need any assistance at 

the airport or onboard the flight, such as, if you use a wheelchair, if 

you are visually impaired or require use of oxygen. Also, please 

note that if you are not self-reliant (capable of taking care of all 

your physical needs independently in-flight), a carer must travel 

with any passenger who does not meet the DFT (Department for 

Transport) code of practice definition of self-reliance. The carer 

must purchase a ticket at the same time. You can find more 

information about travelling with a disability or reduced mobility 

on our website: www.thomascook.com. If you are flying with 

Thomas Cook Airlines you can also refer to 

www.thomascookairlines.co.uk. Alternatively please discuss your 

requirements with your travel agent or contact our Special 

Assistance Team direct on 0800 107 3409 and we will be pleased 

to help you. (This is a dedicated number for special assistance 

enquiries and we are unable to transfer calls to other departments). 

PASSPORTS & VISAS 

(BRITISH CITIZENS) 

The following information applies to British Citizen’s holding a UK 

passport issued in the UK. Non-British Citizen passport holders or 

British Citizens holding a UK Passport issued abroad or holders of 

British Subject Passports should contact the appropriate consulate 

or embassy for clarification. Please note, both passport and visa 

regulations can change and you should therefore check with your 

travel agent or the relevant embassy well in advance of travel. It 

can often take some time to obtain a visa, so you are advised to 

apply in plenty of time. 

Your responsibility: It is the responsibility of passengers to ensure 

they have valid, acceptable passports and any required visa or any 

other documentation for the travel they are to undertake - you 

must be able to meet the entry requirements for both your final 

destinations and any stop-off points en-route. Passengers without 

the correct documentation may be refused carriage by the airline 

or entry into any country. Where entry is refused, fines or other 

financial penalty will be imposed on or by the airline and the 

passenger(s) concerned will be required to immediately return to 

their country of departure. Any passenger who travels without the 

required passport/visa/other documentation is solely responsible for 

and must immediately pay all fines, surcharges, other financial 

penalty, costs (including the cost of their immediate return flight) 

and any other sums of any description which are incurred or 

imposed by the airline or incurred by ourselves. 

This will be the case regardless of whether the lack of correct 

documentation is spotted at the departure airport. We can accept 

no liability in this situation and no compensation, expenses, refund 

or other sum will be paid. 

Validity: A valid passport is essential when you travel abroad. 

Although your passport has been issued for 10 years (5 years for 

children) you should note that some overseas countries have an 

immigration requirement for a passport to remain valid for a 

minimum period after the date of entry to that country (typically 6 

months). If your passport is in its final year of validity, you are 

advised to check the requirements of the destination before you 

make your final travel plans. 

Please note your own particular circumstances (which will not be 

evident to us from your booking) may mean that a visa is required 

for you or another member of your party. We would strongly urge 

you therefore to contact the Consulate of the country that you will 

be visiting to obtain the most up to date information before 

making your booking with us. The contact details of the relevant 

Consulate visa lines are as follows: 

Greek Embassy 

020 7221 6467 

Non-British Citizen passport holders may require visas to enter 

countries which are signatories to the Schengen agreement and 

contact should be made with the appropriate Consulate or 

Embassy for clarification. 

HOW TO CONTACT THE 

PASSPORT AGENCY 

General passport enquiries should be directed to the Identity and 

Passport Service. Please visit their website: www.ips.gov.uk or 

telephone: 

0300 222 0000 

Apply early: If you need to apply for a passport or renew an 

expired passport, you should do so well in advance of travel and at 

least four weeks before. (If you are 16 or over and have never had a 

passport in your own name, you should apply for one at least six 

weeks before your holiday. The UK passport service has to confirm 

your identity before issuing your first passport and will ask you to 

attend an interview in order to protect your identity). Visit 

www.ips.gov.uk 

ADVANCED PASSENGER 

INFORMATION - API 

Under the UK Government ‘e-Borders’ scheme, Tour Operators and 

Airlines are required to collect biographical information contained 

in the section of your passport that can be read by machine (such 

as name, passport number). We refer to this as your advance 

passenger information and will pass this onto the e-Borders 

programme both prior to your departure from a UK Airport to an 

overseas destinations, and on any journey to the UK. 

We are legally required to collect your advance passenger 

information – for details visit the UK Border Agency website: 

www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk . For some destinations this will be 

obtained at the airport but for others we will ask you to provide the 

information at least 7 days before you travel. In 2010 this is likely 

to include USA (where additional information will be required, eg, 

first night stay address in USA) Italy, Greece and Turkey. Please visit 

website www.thomascookapi.com for information on the latest 

countries where this applies. Please also carefully note any 

instructions about Advanced Passenger Information on your 

confirmation invoice or tickets. The UK Border Agency, e-Borders 

programme is a legal direction to which all transport carriers must 

comply, failure to provide the required data may result in carriage 

being denied. 


ESSENTIAL Holiday Information 

81

82 


YOUR ACCOMMODATION 

UNDER OCCUPANCY SUPPLEMENTS 

The prices in this brochure are usually based on a specific number 

of adults sharing the accommodation as stated on each price 

panel. If there are fewer adults sharing the accommodation than 

the number stated, supplements will have to be paid. These 

supplements are called “under occupancy” supplements and are 

indicated at the bottom of each price panel where relevant. The 

under occupancy supplements shown are ‘from’ amounts, per 

person per night, and may vary depending on date of travel. 

Unless otherwise stated, under occupancy supplements are payable 

per person per night. Please note that infants do not count towards 

occupancy levels. Children do count towards occupancy unless 

travelling on a free place. Our accommodation prices are based on 

at least two adults sharing. We do not always have the space to 

show under occupancy supplements for the single traveller for 

accommodation which is priced on a two adults sharing but please 

contact us for further information and supplements where 

applicable (see also ‘Single Supplements’ below). 

INFANTS 

Please note that in each accommodation description we state the 

maximum number of occupants a room can accommodate; this 

number can include one infant unless otherwise stated. If you need 

to book more than one infant into a room, please contact us before 

booking, as enquiries will need to be made with the hotel manager. 

For any bookings made which exceed this stated maximum and for 

which we are advised cannot be accommodated, we reserve the 

right to pass on the cost of any additional/different rooms required 

to accommodate the booking. There may be a charge locally for 

infants for use of services or facilities in the accommodation. 

SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS 

Why are single travellers asked to pay for their room? If a single 

person occupies a double room they will usually be asked to pay 

extra (a single supplement). Hotels price their rooms as doubles 

and they do not reduce the rates if they are occupied by a single 

person. The costs to the hotel of providing the room - heating, 

lighting, cleaning etc. are the same regardless of how many people 

occupy that room. 

Why are single rooms sometimes smaller than doubles or family 

rooms? Hotel design may mean that single rooms are smaller and 

may have different facilities to standard rooms. While there is 

normally a supplement for these rooms the overall cost will usually 

be less than when a single person occupies a double room. 

The prices we charge reflect the costs of under occupancy of 

the rooms. 

OFFICIAL RATINGS 

Rating systems are an attempt to give a guide to the overall quality 

of properties. The official ratings are given by the authorities in the 

country, and do tend to give a fair impression of relative standards 

within that country. However, different countries have different 

standards, so don’t assume that a 3 star hotel in one country is 

equivalent to a 3 star hotel in another. Official ratings are 

mentioned in the brochure descriptions where applicable. 

NEILSON RATINGS 

With over 30 years of experience we have compiled a rating system 

specifically for Neilson. This is based on the particular characteristics 

of each property, taking into account their facilities, general 

atmosphere, plus the distances to resort facilities. Our rating system 

enables us to give a useful reflection of property types in all countries. 

The rates are awarded from to with + being awarded to those 

with a slightly higher standard. The nature of these ratings is 

subjective. They are compiled using the opinions of experienced 

Neilson employees in addition to a scoring based system. 

AIR CONDITIONING 

Some properties have individual air conditioning located in either the 

bedroom or the living area. In some descriptions we have indicated 

that there is centrally controlled air conditioning. This means it is 

operated at the discretion of the management, both in bedrooms 

and public areas. In such cases air conditioning may be restricted to 

particular times of the day and to the hottest months of the summer. 

There may be a local charge for air conditioning in some rooms. 

NIGHTS IN YOUR ACCOMMODATION 

Your accommodation is usually reserved for you from 12 noon 

(from 4pm in some areas) on the day of your departure from the 

UK. In some cases depending on your flight times you may arrive in 

the early hours or during the course of the morning. Your 

accommodation should be immediately available to you and in this 

case is classed as the first night of your holiday. Rooms are normally 

vacated at 10am on the last day of the holiday, yachts at 9.30am. 

On some occasions there may be several hours to wait before the 

departure of your flight home. In such cases a room may be made 

available for changing and storing luggage. It is possible that you 

may lose a meal due to your particular flight times. 

VIEWS 

If you would like a specific view, please be aware that rooms 

described as having a pool or sea view may not have a full pool or 

full sea view because of trees or plants blocking the view. 

MEDITERRANEAN TOILETS 

Some Mediterranean toilets cannot digest paper, so it may go into 

a little bin, which is emptied daily. 

HOTEL-RUN CHILDREN’S CLUBS 

We are unable to accept responsibility for or give any guarantee for 

the standard of the facilities and qualifications of personnel at hotel 

children’s clubs. Children’s clubs may not meet standards of similar 

facilities in the UK and guests are strongly advised to remember that 

local standards and requirements in respect of such clubs may differ 

overseas and so you must ensure that you are completely satisfied 

with the facilities and staff providing this service before you enrol 

your child or children into the club and into the clubs care. 

ROOM CLEANING AND TOWELS 

Bed linen and towels are changed once during the week and at the 

end of each week. 

OTHER GUESTS 

We do not have exclusive use of all properties featured in this 

brochure. Therefore there may be guests from other countries 

and of mixed age groups at your accommodation. Some of the 

hotels we feature do operate corporate conference facilities and 

there may be occasions where business meetings are taking place 

during your stay. 

YOUR RESORT 

SAFETY & HYGIENE 

Your health and safety is of paramount concern to us, especially if 

children are involved. In addition to monitoring the hygiene and 

safety standards in all the hotel and apartments that we use, it is 

appropriate that we bring to your attention the need for you to be 

careful and to take necessary precautions whilst overseas and we 

need your help and cooperation with this. We would ask you to 

pay close attention to the following information, together with any 

other information we, our agents or suppliers, provide to you 

before you go, during your flight and when you arrive in your 

destination and at your hotel. It is most important that you 

familiarise yourself with this information and any other information 

you are given or on display, because not only do we want you to 

have a great holiday but we want you to have a safe holiday. 

Swimming pools and water features: Some of our hotels and 

apartments welcome local people and other holidaymakers not 

residing at the property to use the swimming pool and facilities 

within the accommodation. This can lead to pool areas becoming 

busy at times, for example sunbathing space and available 

sunloungers may become limited. Please make use of the pool 

shower facilities before swimming - this helps to prevent any 

potential infections and helps to keep the pool clean. 

Every pool is different and most hotels/apartments do not employ 

life guards, so you are strongly recommended to familiarise yourself 

with the pool layout, identifying the deep and shallow ends before 

using. Do not use the pool after dark or when the pool is closed, 

even if the pool has underwater lights. You should never swim 

when you have been drinking alcohol. Whilst some of our hotels 

and apartments have water features, such as slides or flumes, which 

may appear in our photography, generally we do not recommend 

these are used. It is possible such features may have been replaced 

or removed since the photography was taken. 

Overseas Safety Standards: Although the accommodation 

featured does operate to its own country’s standards, regrettably 

the safety standards and regulations overseas may not be of the 

same level that we enjoy in the UK. For instance, the design and 

height of balconies may differ. The setting and enforcement of local 

regulations is a matter for the Authorities of the country and the 

foreign supplier of the services concerned. We are working with 

hoteliers to improve standards wherever possible. You should 

familiarise yourself with fire procedures, including emergency exits 

in your accommodation, the swimming pool(s) area and any 

unfamiliar cooking appliances. If in doubt, ask your representative 

or an appropriate member of staff. 

Children: Children must be supervised by you at all times, 

especially near water, on balconies or in unfamiliar buildings 

and surroundings. 

Stomach Upsets: It is still a relatively common occurrence to suffer 

gastric illness when travelling abroad and being exposed to a 

different environment. There are many ways you can reduce the 

possibility of being affected, such as, not eating undercooked food, 

avoiding ice in drinks, ensuring you drink plenty of bottled water 

and avoid over exposure to the sun. 

Out and About: Due to rough terrain and uneven surfaces, we 

recommend that you are extra careful and vigilant when visiting 

temples and other sites of interest and when crossing roads. Crimes 

against people and property are a fact of life throughout the world 

and you have the same responsibility for your own safety as you do 

at home. In some places the local police may not be very 

cooperative or interested when you report a theft or need 

insurance confirmation so always take care of your property. It is 

recommended not to approach cats and dogs and other animals as 

these may carry the rabies disease which can be passed on through 

bites and scratches. Please exercise caution before entering the sea 

as the seabed is not even and changes in depth. The sea is capable 

of springing surprises and we have not inspected the beach or 

seabed for its safety. 

AIRPORTS AND TRANSFERS 

Some resorts are off the beaten track; to reach them you either fly 

to airfields with few facilities, or you take long bus drives from 

better known airports. The places you reach are worth the trouble. 

Transfer timings are shown on each resort page. Timings are 

approximate and do not include dropping off guests at other 

accommodation en route.

MOPEDS AND QUAD BIKES 

Many holiday injuries we see are caused by moped or quad bike 

accidents. We don’t recommend you hire them. 

OUR SERVICE 

At Neilson, we are proud that our staff are the best in the business. 

They are thoroughly trained in making sure that you have a great 

holiday, added to which they are local experts and their knowledge 

is at your disposal. Our staff are also trained to know when they are 

not wanted - so if you want to do your own thing while you’re on 

holiday they’ll be perfectly happy to leave you alone. If for any 

reason a Neilson staff member is unavailable in resort, you can rest 

assured in the knowledge that our UK Duty Office staff are quickly 

and easily contactable if you need any help, advice or assistance. 

If you have a complaint we will need to know about it and our staff 

or UK Duty Office will do their best to solve the problem as soon as 

reasonably possible to minimise any inconvenience. This will also 

help us to improve the holiday experience for all our customers. 

There may be times when our local staff or our UK Duty Office is 

unable to solve a particular problem immediately. While 

appreciating that this may be upsetting for you, Neilson does 

expect you to behave in a reasonable manner towards our staff. 

Consequently, should any customer act in a threatening or 

intimidatory manner towards Neilson staff, we shall have no 

hesitation in taking appropriate legal measures. 

RESORTS 

In low season, resorts can be quiet with some facilities in limited 

supply, whereas in high season the resort is sure to be full, with 

facilities in full swing. However there may be occasions where 

hoteliers or providers of services withdraw a facility temporarily or 

otherwise due to lack of demand, especially at the start or end of 

the season. 

RESORT DEVELOPMENT 

Some of the destinations in this brochure are still being developed 

and even in more established resorts there is often a possibility 

of building work taking place. If in our opinion this is likely to 

affect your booked accommodation we will tell you at the time 

of booking or if you have already booked, you will be contacted 

before departure if there is time. Please refer to the Booking 

Conditions section ‘Circumstances beyond our Control’ for 

more information. 

SMOKING 

Restrictive legalisation against smoking is increasingly common in 

destinations worldwide. You may find that your hotel or areas 

within your hotel and holiday resort operate enforced smoking 

regulations. Fines may be imposed for breaking regulations. To find 

out more visit the FCO website www.fco.gov.uk 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

EQUIPMENT FAILURE 

Can sometimes result in the withdrawal of some watersports 

facilities. We carry out the repairs as soon as possible. 

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES 

While we recommend particular suppliers, we have no control over 

their activities and cannot be liable for any shortcomings or 

inadequacies that may occur. 

PHOTOGRAPHY 

Some of the atmospheric photography shown in conjunction with 

particular accommodation and resorts advertised in this brochure 

(e.g. children playing on a beach or close-up in a pool) was shot 

on location and not at the accommodation or resort concerned.

YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION 

The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tour 

Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that 

you pay for the package holidays booked from our brochure and 

for your repatriation in the event of our insolvency. Where your 

booking includes a flight, we provide this security by way of a 

bond held by the Civil Aviation Authority under ATOL number 

1179. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure 

that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any 

money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further 

information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. 

The price of your holiday includes the amount of £2.50 per person 

as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the 

CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices but will be 

shown separately on your confirmation invoice. 

Where you book a package holiday from our brochure/website 

which does not include a flight, we provide security by way of a 

bond held with ABTA.

telephone calls to Thomas Cook's UK offices are recorded. Calls to 

0845 numbers are charged at local call rate, calls to 0844 numbers

guarantee to have a peanut-free environment onboard an aircraft 

and is not able to change or modify the cabin environment by 

individual passenger request. 

Carriage of infants (0-24months) 

Infants must be over 6 weeks (2 weeks with Thomas Cook Airlines) 

to travel by air and must either sit on an adults lap or occupy a car 

seat (infants must be at least 6 months to occupy a car seat). If 

choosing to sit the infant on an adults lap, please see Child Price 

Conditions (Your Holiday Price section) for prices. If choosing to 

occupy a car seat, we recommend you contact the relevant airline 

for regulations for the car seat. If traveling with Thomas Cook 

Airlines contact Customer Services & Sales Team on 0844 855 

0515 for information. Customers choosing this option will need to 

book a flight seat for the infant. The price of a seat for an infant 

will usually be the adult seat only price (but there may be discounts 

available). Ask your travel agent to access Airfares at the time your 

booking is made for the current seat only price. 

Unfortunately we cannot offer this service on holidays including 

Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is an airline regulation that 

children aged 2 or over must occupy a seat. Children aged 2 or 

over on the RETURN flight must pay the appropriate child price of 

the holiday. 

Infants Baggage Allowance on Thomas Cook Airlines flights 

An allowance of 10kgs is available for infants flying with Thomas 

Cook Airlines – baggage must contain specific infant necessities 

such as nappies, bottles and baby accessories and this may be 

packed as part of adult baggage/luggage or can be packed 

separately. 

Carriage of unaccompanied minors (under 16 years) 

Thomas Cook Airlines will not accept children under the age of 16 

years unless accompanied by an adult.

ESSENTIAL Holiday Information

84 

AT THE AIRPORT 


Check-in 

The following information is designed to help you complete the 

airport check-in process as quickly as possible. 

If you fail to check in on time, the airline is entitled to refuse to 

allow you to board the flight. We cannot accept responsibility if 

such a situation arises and, whilst we endeavour to assist in making 

alternative travel arrangements to your resort, any cost or loss 

incurred as a result will be your responsibility. 

If you fail to check in at all for your flight from the UK, we retain 

the right to cancel any other arrangements you have booked with 

us and you will be unable to use your return flight to the UK. No 

refund can be made for any unused arrangements. 

When you arrive at the check-in desk for your flight, you will be 

asked for your ticket, passport and baggage. If travelling in a 

group, please make sure all members of your party are at the desk. 

Once you have checked in, you can move through to the 

departure lounge where you will find further information, including 

your departure gate number. 

Important notice 

You must check-in at least 1 hour prior to departure, failure to do 

so could result in you being denied travel. Remember no calls will 

be made for your flight so please make sure that you are at the 

departure gate no later than 45 minutes before your departure 

time. Passengers that are refused travel will be responsible for 

arranging alternative transportation at their own expense. 

Thomas Cook Airlines regulations permit the in-flight consumption 

of alcohol purchased from the on-board bar service only. 

Security 

Please keep your luggage with you at all times. Never carry 

packages or presents for anyone else. Unattended luggage will be 

removed and destroyed. 

Emergency Exit seats 

Please note, for safety reasons we are unable to allocate seats on 

emergency exit rows, to either disabled passengers or children. 

Pregnancy 

Regulations vary from airline to airline, but some will refuse to carry 

women who will be 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of 

return travel. If you are in doubt, please check with the airline 

concerned. We recommend that you also consult your own doctor. 

Fitness to fly 

You may need permission to fly from your doctor if you suffer from 

certain medical conditions, which may mean you also require 

assistance from the airline. Should you have any concerns about 

your fitness to fly and you are flying with Thomas Cook Airlines 

please contact 0844 855 0515. 

Baggage delays 

Although handling arrangements at UK departure points are 

excellent, there are occasions when your baggage may be delayed. 

However, if the recommended insurance is taken, you are covered 

for emergency purchases. 

Carriage Sports Equipment 

Thomas Cook Airlines charge for the carriage of sports equipment 

(this includes and is not limited to golf clubs, scuba diving, 

surfboards, windsurf equipment and bikes). This equipment is not 

included as part of your baggage allowance. 

Charges by other airlines may also apply for the carriage of 

sporting equipment, this may be payable either at the time of 

booking, or at the airport prior to departure. If you are planning to 

take sports equipment, please ask your travel agent to contact the 

relevant airline at the time of booking, and they will be able to 

provide details of prices. Your Travel Agent must also give details of 

your request to take the sporting equipment on the ‘Special 

Request’ page of our reservation system. If sports equipment is not 

pre-booked, excess baggage charges will apply. Sports equipment 

must usually be packed separately from other baggage, as these 

may need to be checked at check-in. We recommend that all your 

sporting equipment be insured separately, since more valuable or 

fragile items may not be covered by your insurance. 

In Resort Transfers/Car Hire: If you are taking sports equipment 

we recommend you pre-book car hire as carriage of sports 

equipment on transfer coaches are subject to space and extra 

charges may apply. Although public transport/taxis will probably be 

available from all of our recommended accommodation, 

arrangement may be costly and/or time consuming. 

Hand Baggage 

The check-in agent at the airport will ask you to show your hand 

baggage. Only one item of hand baggage is permitted. This should 

not be over 5kg in weight or bigger than 17 x 11 x 9 inches in 

size. The low dose X-Ray machines used at UK airports to examine 

hand luggage will not affect photographic film. Hold baggage is 

subject to a higher dose X-Ray inspection and we suggest therefore 

that you pack your film in your hand luggage. Items such as knives, 

scissors, tweezers and laser pointers may not be carried as hand 

luggage. These should be carried as hold baggage only. Any such 

items or sharp objects will be confiscated if packed in your hand 

luggage. 

Hold Baggage: Your hold baggage must not exceed the stated 

allowance on your ticket. A charge will be made if the stated 

allowance is exceeded. Baggage allowances range from 15kg upto 

25kg. Individual items of luggage must not exceed 30kg for lifting 

purposes. 

IN FLIGHT SAFETY 

Safety 

The safety and welfare of passengers is of paramount importance. 

While we wish to create a genuine holiday mood, we will deny 

boarding or impose additional conditions of carriage on any 

passenger who: 

is intoxicated and or disruptive. 

found to be smoking on board our aircraft. 

makes an inappropriate remark. Inappropriate remarks are 

considered as any comment or statement made by a person, which 

indicates they may be carrying a bomb (or other such explosive 

device), a firearm or weapon regardless of that person’s intent or 

reason for making the comment or statement. 

Although we want you to start and end your holiday on a high 

note, please make sure that you keep any drinking to a minimum 

before the departure of your flight. We will deny boarding to any 

passenger who appears to be intoxicated or whose behaviour we 

consider to be disruptive. Passengers that are refused travel will be 

responsible for arranging alternative transportation at their own 

expense. 

We realise that some larger passengers, due to their size, often find 

that aircraft seat width is insufficient for their needs. For your own 

safety and comfort and that of other passengers, you must advise 

us or your travel agent at the time of booking if you know or are 

unsure as to whether the seat size on the aircraft will be sufficient 

for your needs. If you do require additional space, then subject to 

availability, you can purchase more than one seat located side by 

side or if you prefer, a wider seat in an upgraded class (where 

applicable). We regret however, that due to additional costs 

incurred by us, you will have to pay the full cost of all seats 

required by you, plus any upgrade supplement per seat. If you are 

purchasing extra seats due to your size, please contact us or your 

travel agent. 

Smoking 

Please note that whatever airline you fly with, all UK airlines have a 

strict no-smoking policy throughout the aircraft. 

Deep Vein Thrombosis 

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where blood 

clots develop in the deep veins of the legs. Prolonged immobility is 

generally thought to be the common underlying risk factor, and 

thus any travel involving prolonged immobility can result in 

developing a DVT. A wide range of advice is available on DVT - 

you are strongly recommended to obtain advice that will include 

information on those people most at risk of DVT and how to 

reduce risks when flying. Most passengers can reduce risks 

through keeping circulation active by practicing in-seat exercises, 

especially leg exercises, and walking around the aircraft whenever 

possible. Most airlines provide details of suitable exercises you can 

do and other measures you can take to reduce risks within their inflight 

magazines or during in-flight videos and if you are flying with 

Thomas Cook Airlines, please also visit 

www.thomascookairlines.co.uk for further information. More 

comprehensive advice can be found on the UK Department of 

Health's website (www.dh.gov.uk) but if you believe you are at a 

higher risk or have any concerns about the risks or doubts about 

flying, you must consult your GP before you travel. 

Seat Pitch 

We advise that the distance between the back support cushion of 

your flight seat and the back of the seat or other fixed structure in 

front of your seat will not be less than the minimum stated in the 

UK Civil Aviation Authority’s Airworthiness Notice No.64, issue 2 of 

the 29th October 2001 (26 inches). 

FLIGHT OPERATION 

Flight operation 

Flight timings shown in this brochure are based on the 24 hour 

clock system. These timings, however, are provisional only and will 

be submitted for approval by the UK and overseas scheduling 

committees, and are therefore given for guidance only and are 

subject to alteration and confirmation. Our reservation system will 

show the latest timings for your flight. The right is reserved to 

substitute alternative airlines and/or aircraft at any time. All 

bookings are subject to the grant of licenses by the Civil Aviation 

Authority. 

Airline (Operating Carrier) Information 

In accordance with EU Regulations we are required to advise you of 

the operating carrier(s) (or, if the operating carrier(s) is not known, 

the likely carrier(s)) that will operate your flight(s) at the time of 

booking. Where we are only able to inform you of the likely 

carrier(s) at the time of booking, we will inform you of the identity 

of the operating carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. Any 

change to the operating carrier(s) after your booking has been 

confirmed will be notified to you as soon as possible. Any change 

in the identity of the airline, flight timings and/or aircraft type will 

not entitle you to cancel or change to other flight arrangements 

without paying our normal charges except where specified in our 

conditions. 

Flight Routing 

A direct flight may touch down en-route for re-fuelling, or to pick 

up and/or drop off passengers. In these instances you are not 

normally required to disembark and the flight is still considered to 

be a direct flight. A non-direct flight may require a change of 

aircraft en-route while a non-stop flight will take you directly to 

your final destination airport without stopping. 

Code sharing 

Some airlines now work in partnership with one another and sell 

seats on each other’s planes to enable more choice and better 

onward connections. This means that your flight may be with a 

different company to the one you expect. 

FLIGHT OPTIONS AND AFFECTS ON 

HOLIDAY PRICE 

The flight you choose will influence the price you pay for your 

holiday. 

The holiday price will vary: 

1. Due to where you fly from, on what day, at what time and 

2. Due to the time of year and the seasonality of your departure 

date. 

We have introduced a new holiday pricing system which has 

changed the way our prices appear on our reservations system, 

website and confirmation invoices. 

In the past, to account for the price variations mentioned above, 

we have included flight supplements on our flight pages which will 

have also been clearly displayed before booking and on your 

confirmation invoice. However, due to our new pricing system, the 

basic holiday price for your chosen accommodation and flight will 

no longer be broken down on our reservations system, website or 

on your confirmation invoice. This means all price variations (as 

detailed above) resulting from the flight you choose will 

automatically be included in the basic holiday price you are 

quoted. 

We know how important it is for you to have an indication of the 

extra costs that may apply for your chosen flight, therefore on the 

flight table shown we have included the minimum price increase 

(previously referred to as flight supplements) you can expect to be 

included in your holiday price when you book your holiday. 

These amounts are subject to change, please refer to our website 

or check with your Holiday Advisor for the latest prices. Extra legroom 

seat supplements and other optional services (such as seat 

selection and internet check-in) are additional to your holiday price. 

Changes to our flight programme 

To ensure we can offer you the best choice of flights at the most 

popular times of the year, we may put additional flights on sale 

under different flight codes not shown in the flight panel. We 

cannot guarantee these additional flights will not incur higher 

holiday prices and details of these prices will be advised on our 

website or by your Holiday Advisor. When we make available stays 

of beyond 7 nights, an extra flight charge of up to £399 per person 

may be applied to cover the expected loss we may incur from 

unsold seats.

FLIGHT Information

Please read the following booking conditions carefully as they set out the terms and conditions of the contract 

between you and either Thomas Cook Tour Operations Limited, trading as Neilson or Skidom, or you and Thomas 

Cook Scheduled Tour Operations Ltd, trading as Swiss Travel Service. When you book travel arrangements with us, 

your contract will be with one of these companies and the booking documentation you receive will indicate which 

one. The terms “we”, “us” and “our” as used in these terms and conditions mean either Thomas Cook Tour 

Operations Limited or Thomas Cook Scheduled Tour Operations Ltd (as appropriate). Our obligations to you will vary 

depending upon whether or not what you book with us is a “Package” as defined by the Package Travel, Package 

Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. 

Section A below explains in detail what is a Package and contains the booking conditions which apply particularly to 

a Package. Section B (under the heading “Single Components”) contains the booking conditions which apply 

particularly to non-Package bookings. There are certain terms which apply to any type of booking and these are 

detailed in Section C 

A PACKAGE 

The terms set out below, together with the terms set out in Section C, apply when you book a Package. 

Any booking you make through us will be a Package with the exception of circumstances where you only book a 

single component (i.e. a flight, a hotel, a transfer or a lift pass) or where you book a single component and then go 

on to add another single component to compliment the first booking. In the case of such non-Package bookings, we 

have not arranged your travel arrangements as a combination. 

A1. Your Contract/Financial Protection 

The financial bonding requirements of the Travel Association (ABTA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have been 

observed by us in relation to the provision of all our Packages. Thomas Cook Tour Operations Ltd CAA ATOL 

number is 1179 and its ABTA membership number is V6896. Thomas Cook Scheduled Tour Operations Ltd ATOL 

number is 0606 and its ABTA number is V2185 

These arrangements ensure that payments made by you for your Package would be refunded and/or you would be 

repatriated in the unlikely event of our insolvency. Our registered office for both the above companies is The Thomas 

Cook Business Park, Coningsby Road, Peterborough PE3 8SB. Thomas Cook Tour Operations Ltd is a company 

registered in England under number 3772199. Thomas Cook Scheduled Tour Operations Ltd is a company registered 

in England under number is 960252. 

A2. Price Changes 

Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing 

taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates mean that the price of your 

Package may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. 

We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your Package, which 

excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, 

plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this 

means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your Package, you will have the option of 

accepting a change to another Package if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will 

not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and 

receiving 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. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show 

that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. 

Should the price of your Package go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your Package 

cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that Packages are not always purchased in local 

currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your Package due to contractual and other 

protection in place. 

A3. Changes Made By Us Before Travel 

From time to time we may have to change details of the Package you have booked. If any change will have a 

significant effect on your Package, we will tell you about it before your Package, if there is time. Changes we will tell 

you about include: 

Change of your UK departure point 

Significant change of your destination 

A change of more than 6 hours to the time you leave the UK or your destination on breaks of 4 nights or less, or a 

change of more than 12 hours for all other longer holiday durations. 

If we downgrade your accommodation by one full Tour Operator rating (or to a lower official rating where no Tour 

Operator rating is used) 

If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we will tell you about before you depart, we will, if we are 

able to do so, offer you an alternative Package of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost, or a 

less expensive Package, in which case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative 

we offer you, you can choose a different Package offered for sale by us and pay, or receive a refund of, any price 

difference. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your Package and receive a full refund of any money you have paid to us, 

except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can 

show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. 

Unless the change is as a result of circumstances listed in the paragraph below headed ’Circumstances Beyond our 

Control’, we will pay you compensation as shown in the table below. If you accept the significant change or amend 

to a different Package offered for sale by us you will receive compensation as per Option 1 in the table below. If you 

reject the significant change and cancel your booking you will receive compensation as per Option 2. The amounts in 

the table are by way of guideline only and may in appropriate circumstances be increased. 

Compensation payments relating to a child place for which you have paid a child price are half the amounts shown 

(up to half the child price paid). There are no compensation payments payable to those travelling on ‘free child 

places’, ‘free group places’ or infants. 

A4. Minor Changes Made By Us Before Travel 

Any change which is not deemed to be significant, as outlined in the Section entitled “Changes made by us before 

travel”, will be classed as a minor change. We will endeavour to tell you about a minor change before you travel, 

however, we will not pay compensation as a result of this change. 

A5. Circumstances Beyond Our Control 

Except where we say differently elsewhere in these conditions, we cannot pay any compensation, reimburse 

expenses, or cover losses for any amount or otherwise accept responsibility if, as a result of circumstances beyond our 

control, we have to change your Package after departure, or we, or our suppliers, cannot supply your Package, as we, 

or they, had agreed, or you suffer any loss or damage of any description. When we refer to circumstances beyond our 

control, we mean any event that we, or the supplier in question, could not foresee or avoid, even after taking all 

reasonable care. Such circumstances will usually include, but are not limited to, war, terrorist activity, civil unrest, 

industrial dispute, bad weather (actual or threatened) and significant building work ongoing outside of your 

accommodation, which is not known to us in advance of your departure date and building work from a third party 

(such as resort development). 

A6. Changes Made After Travel 

If, after your departure, a significant part of your Package cannot be provided, you will be offered a suitable 

alternative if possible. If it is not possible to offer you a suitable alternative or, for good reasons, you do not accept the 

alternative arrangements, we will return you to the place of your departure. If appropriate, we will also pay you 

compensation, unless your return has been due to circumstances beyond our control. The amount of compensation 

will be reasonable, taking account of all the circumstances. 

A7. Cancellation By Us 

We can cancel your Package and any other holiday we operate. On rare occasions, we may need to cancel your 

Package if there is insufficient demand for your particular Package. If we have to cancel a Package for any particular 

reason, we will tell you as soon as reasonably possible. In these circumstances, we will, if we are able to do so, offer 

you an alternative Package of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost, or a less expensive 

Package, in which case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, 

you can choose another offered for sale by us and pay, or receive a full refund of, any price difference. Or, if you 

prefer, you can receive a full refund of any money you have paid to us, except for any amendment charges. We will 

consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse 

your policy. However, we will not cancel your Package within 10 weeks of departure except if we are forced to do so 

because of unusual circumstances we could not have foreseen, where we could not avoid the results of those 

circumstances even after taking all reasonable care. (See 'Circumstances Beyond Our Control' above) No

compensation will be payable in these circumstances, whenever they happen, and we will only have to offer you the 

above choices. We can also cancel if you fail to make payment for your booking on time. 

A8. Flight Delays 

Delays sometimes occur. We work closely with the airlines and overseas offices to make sure any delay is as short as 

possible. When a delay occurs we will try to make sure refreshments or meals are provided when appropriate. We 

will not do this ourselves as such arrangements will normally be the responsibility of the airline. If you have taken out 

our recommended travel insurance or a comparable policy you should have cover against delays. 

A9. Our Liability To You 

(i) Our obligations, and those of our suppliers providing any service or facility involved in any of your Package, are to 

take reasonable skill and care to arrange for the provision of such services and facilities and, where we or our supplier 

is actually providing the service or facility, to provide them with reasonable skill and care. Compliance with any 

applicable regulatory requirements (such as, for example, those of the CAA) will be proper performance of our, and 

our suppliers', obligations. You must show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make any 

claim. 

(ii) For claims which do not involve death or personal injury, we accept liability, subject to paragraph (i) above and (v) 

below, should any part of your Package not be as described in the relevant brochure, on our websites or elsewhere by 

us (as applicable to your method of booking) before you leave the UK. If we have liability, we will, subject to 

paragraphs (iii), (vi), (vii), (viii), and (ix) below, pay you reasonable compensation. However, the maximum we will 

pay you in any circumstances is twice the price of the Package. This maximum will only be payable when every 

aspect of your Package has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit from your Package. Any sums 

received by you from suppliers will be deducted from any sum paid to you as compensation by us. 

(iii) Where a flight ticket is downgraded or a flight cancelled, delayed, or boarding is denied by any carrier in 

circumstances which would entitle you to compensation under the Denied Boarding Regulations 2004, then you are 

obliged to claim the appropriate sums pursuant to those Regulations from the carrier. Any sums received by you in 

this respect constitute the full amount of your entitlement to compensation for all matters flowing from the carrier's 

actions and which fall within the scope of the Denied Boarding Regulations. If, for any reason, you do not claim 

against the carrier and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any 

compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the carrier in relation to the 

claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. 

(iv) For claims which involve death or personal injury as a result of an activity forming part of your Package (excluding 

Overseas Booked Excursions see Section entitled “Excursions”), we have liability subject to paragraph (i) above and (v) 

below. If we accept liability, we will, subject to paragraphs (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) below, pay you reasonable 

compensation. 

(v) We accept liability in accordance with paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iv) above and subject to paragraphs (vi), (vii), (viii), 

(ix) and (x) below except where the cause of the failure in your Package or any death or personal injury you may 

suffer is not due to any fault on our part or that of our servants, agents or suppliers because it is either attributable to 

you, or attributable to someone unconnected with the Package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or because the 

failure is due to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not 

have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or due to an event which neither we, nor our servants, 

agents or suppliers could have foreseen or forestalled. 

(vi) If any International Convention applies to or governs any of the services or facilities included in your Package 

arranged or provided by us, or provided by any of our suppliers, and you make a claim against us of any nature 

arising out of death, injury, loss or damage suffered during or as a result of the provision of those services or facilities, 

our liability to pay you compensation and/or the amount (if any) of compensation payable to you by us will be 

limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to that provided for by the International Convention 

concerned (in each case including in respect of the conditions of liability, the time for bringing any claim and the type 

and amount of any damages that can be awarded). For further details of the International Conventions which may 

apply, see paragraphs (vii) and (viii) below. You can get copies of the relevant Conventions if you ask us. For the 

avoidance of doubt, this means that we are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitations of compensation 

contained in any of these Conventions or any other International Conventions applicable to your Package. Any 

applicable Protocols or amendments shall apply to all such International Conventions. 

(vii) International Conventions in respect of international air travel include the Warsaw Convention 1929 (including as 

amended by the Hague Protocol 1955 and by any additional Montreal Protocols of 1975 and 1999 or otherwise) or 

the Montreal Convention 1999 (for international travel by air and/ or for airlines with an operating licence granted by 

an EU country, which the EC Regulation on Air Carrier Liability No 889/ 2002 for national and international travel by 

air has given effect to). Where any claim or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury) 

concerns or is based on any flight arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the aircraft 

concerned) provided by any air carrier where we have arranged the flight as part of our contract, the maximum 

amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or 

that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is limited to the most the carrier concerned would have 

to pay under the International Convention or Regulation which applies to the flight in question. Please note: for all 

such claims (including those involving death or personal injury) where the carrier is not obliged to make any payment 

to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation (including where any claim is not notified or 

issued in accordance with the time limits stipulated in the applicable Convention or Regulation), we are similarly not 

obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to 

deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the airline for the complaint or claim in 

question. Please also note that strict time limits apply for notifying loss, damage or delay of luggage to the airline. 

Any proceedings in respect of any claim (including one for personal injury or death) must be brought within 2 years 

of the date stipulated in the applicable Convention or Regulation. 

(viii) Other International Conventions which may apply include in respect of rail travel, the COTIF Convention 

concerning International Carriage by Rail 1980 (as amended); in respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 

1973; and, in respect of hotels, the Paris Convention 1962. 

(ix) You are obliged to assist us in recovering from any third party any sum which may compensate us for any sums 

we pay you. In particular, you are obliged to assign to us any rights that you may have against any other person 

whose acts or omissions have caused or contributed to our legal liability to pay you compensation. You must also 

provide us with all assistance we may reasonably require. Finally, you must follow the procedures for the notification 

of complaints set out in the clause below entitled "If You Have A Complaint". 

(x) Should you become ill while on your Package, you must, in addition to reporting your illness to our representative, 

local agent or Duty Office, consult a local doctor and also consult your GP upon your return to the UK. Should you 

then wish to make a claim against us as a result of that illness, you must provide us with details of both the local 

doctor whom you saw and your GP, together with written authority for us to obtain a medical report from both those 

doctors. 

(xi) If you or any member of your party suffers during your Package any difficulty through misadventure as a result of 

any activity which does not form part of your contracted Package arrangements, we will offer you prompt assistance. 

All assistance (financial or otherwise) is subject to our reasonable discretion and a maximum total cost to ourselves of 

£1,000 per booking and is subject to you notifying us that you require such assistance within 30 days of the incident. 

If you are entitled to have any costs and expenses arising from such an incident met by or from any insurance policy 

or if you obtain a costs order against anyone in relation to the incident, you must repay to us the costs and expenses 

we spend in assisting you. 

(xii) Other than as set out above, and as is detailed elsewhere in these booking conditions, we shall have no legal 

liability whatsoever to you for any loss, damage, personal injury or death which you suffer arising directly or indirectly 

from any aspect of your Package. 

A10. Baggage 

The amount of compensation we will pay for any loss or damage to luggage is limited in accordance with the 

Conventions listed in the above Section A9. For claims for missing or damaged baggage you must follow the rules on 

the back or your ticket or contained within the carrier’s conditions of carriage. Please note time limits apply within 

which to notify us or the carrier and make a claim. We will not accept liability for high-value items which you should 

insure for the appropriate amount. 

B SINGLE COMPONENTS 

The terms set out below, together with the terms set out in Section C, apply to non-Package bookings. 

B1. Price Changes 

Price increases may occur any time prior to full payment being received from you, and you will be liable to pay any 

such increases in full. 

B2. Transfer of Bookings 

In the case of a scheduled flight only booking, transfer to another person will involve cancelling the original booking, 

thereby incurring any relevant cancellation charges and then making a new booking, which will be subject to 

availability and any additional price increase. Transfer of any other type of booking is subject to the supplier’s own 

terms and conditions and the applicable amendment or cancellation charges. 

B3. Cancellation / Amendment of Bookings by You 

Bookings may be amended or cancelled in accordance with the relevant supplier’s terms and conditions and subject 

to the supplier’s amendment and cancellation charges. In many cases our flight suppliers may impose charges of up 

to 100% of the cost of the travel arrangements and these will be passed onto you. Please refer to Section C7 and C8 

for more details on changing your booking. 

B4. Changes Made to Your Booking 

Where a supplier makes a change to a non-Package booking you do not have the same legal rights as with a Package

ooking. If we are aware of any change which we believe will materially affect your booking we will tell you as soon 

as reasonably practicable but you must appreciate that we will only have an obligation to tell you if we have been 

told in the first place by the supplier. It is the responsibility of the supplier to make alternative arrangements; it is not 

our responsibility. Where, however, we believe a change has a significant effect on your booking, we will endeavour 

to arrange with the supplier(s) to provide you with suitable alternative arrangements. If suppliers impose additional 

costs for any alternative arrangements you will be obliged to pay those 

B5. Our Liability to You 

Our responsibility is to make arrangements for the provision by the relevant suppliers (including air carrier of air 

transport, accommodation owner/supplier, car hire provider) of the components you book, but we do not have any 

responsibility for the operation of the component itself. 

We have no liability to you for any dissatisfaction, loss of enjoyment, loss, injury or damage which results from your 

use of the single component unless we have negligently failed to select a normally competent provider of the relevant 

component. Further, we have no liability to you in any event for any consequential loss which you may suffer in 

relation to any arrangements which you book to coincide with the single component you have booked with us. 

Please note, with the exception of flight only bookings which are ATOL protected under our ATOL License 0606 or 

1179, in the unlikely event of our collapse/insolvency, any money you have paid us for any other components is not 

protected by a scheme of financial protection. If this is important to you, we recommend you book a Neilson or 

Swiss Travel Service Package or obtain suitable travel insurance. 

B6. International Conventions 

If any International Convention applies to or governs any of the services or facilities arranged or provided by us, or 

provided by any of our suppliers, and you make a claim against us of any nature arising out of death, injury, loss or 

damage suffered during or as a result of the provision of those services or facilities, our liability to pay you 

compensation and/or the amount (if any) of compensation payable to you by us will be limited in accordance with 

and/or in an identical manner to that provided for by the International Convention concerned (in each case including 

in respect of the conditions of liability, the time for bringing any claim and the type and amount of any damages that 

can be awarded). International Conventions which may apply include: in respect of international air travel, the 

Warsaw Convention 1929 (including as amended by the Hague Protocol 1955 and by any additional Montreal 

Protocols of 1975 and 1999 or otherwise) or the Montreal Convention 1999 (for international travel by air and/ or for 

airlines with an operating licence granted by an EU country, which the EC Regulation on Air Carrier Liability No 889/ 

2002 for national and international travel by air has given effect to); in respect of rail travel, the COTIF Convention 

concerning International Carriage by Rail 1980 (as amended); in respect of carriage by sea, the Athens Convention 

1974 (as amended); in respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973; and, in respect of hotels, the Paris 

Convention 1962. Any applicable Protocols or amendments shall apply to all such International Conventions. You 

can get copies of the relevant Conventions if you ask us. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that we are to be 

regarded as having all benefit of any limitations of compensation contained in any of these Conventions or any other 

International Conventions applicable to your travel arrangements. 

C. ALL BOOKINGS 

For all bookings as described in Sections A and B above, a contract will exist between you and us when we issue a 

confirmation invoice/receipt/e-mail. 

If you are booking on the internet or over the phone the lead name on the booking must be a minimum age of 18. 

If you are under 18 and travelling without an adult we will only allow you to book at a high street travel agent 

provided your parent/legal guardian is present and subject to you satisfying our suppliers’ conditions of travel. The 

parent/guardian will be required to sign the booking form in front of the travel agent and a contract will then exist 

between the parent/legal guardian and us. 

The lead name is responsible for payment of the total booking price, including any insurance premiums and 

subsequent cancellation or amendment charges that may be payable. He or she also agrees to provide accurate and 

full information to the remainder of the travelling party in relation to the booking, including any changes thereto and 

confirms that all the other members of the party, including any that may be added at a later date, agree to be bound 

by these conditions, and all other information in the relevant brochure and on our websites (as applicable). 

C1. Payment terms 

When you book your Holiday you agree to pay us either: 

A deposit at the time of booking followed by the remaining balance due on the booking. You will be advised of the 

current deposit payable at the time of booking. The remaining balance for the Holiday is due by the date specified on 

your confirmation invoice (this will usually be either 10, 12 or 14 weeks before your travel date, depending on the 

type of Holiday booked); or 

The full cost of the Holiday if you book a Late Holiday (see ’Late Holiday Bookings’ above for definition), or, if it is 10, 

12 or 14 weeks or less before you go (depending on the type of Holiday booked). 

Such other deposit as may be required by the supplier of the services for the arrangements in question. 

You will be advised at the time of booking what payment is required for your particular arrangements. The balance of 

the cost of your travel arrangements must be paid by the date specified on your confirmation invoice or, if you have 

booked through a Travel Agent, please ensure payment reaches the Agent by the date they have advised.. 

We may cancel your Holiday if you do not make your final payment on time. If we do this we will keep your deposit. 

If we extend the period for you to pay the final payment at your request, and you still fail to pay or cancel your 

booking, the cancellation charges will be increased in accordance with the section entitled ‘Cancellation by You’. 

If you book through one of our authorised travel agents, they will hold all the money you pay for your Holiday on our 

behalf. Please check the details on your invoice carefully. If you have any questions, or anything does not appear to be 

right, you must contact our reservations staff or your travel agent, immediately. 

If you are purchasing a travel insurance policy through us, the premium for this will also be payable at time of 

booking. 

C2. Late Holiday Bookings 

Certain bookings made within 14 weeks of departure will be regarded as 'Late Holiday' bookings. You will be told at 

the time of booking whether or not the booking you seek to make is a normal booking or a ‘Late Holiday’ booking, 

and the difference between the two. It will then be your choice as to how you wish to proceed. Please be aware that 

‘Late Holiday’ bookings always require payment of the price in full at the time of booking whenever that may be. 

‘Late Holiday’ bookings may be either booked through promotional publications or from a Brochure or on the 

website. Accommodation may either be named at the time of booking or allocated when you arrive at your 

destination. ‘Late Holiday’ bookings are not always cheaper than the prices in the brochure, as prices are set 

according to demand. Additional terms and conditions apply for 'Late Holiday' bookings and these are contained on 

our reservation system and website. Not all services and facilities as advertised in this Brochure will be available for 

'Late Holiday' bookings. Please check with your travel agent or check on the website carefully before booking. 

C3. Method of Payment 

Credit Cards: We accept Barclaycard/Visa, Access/MasterCard. Customers choosing to use this method of payment 

will be subject to a credit card handling fee of which will be advised at the time of booking. 

Debit Cards: we accept payment by most forms of debit card. We will not charge a handling fee for payment by this 

method. 

Prevention of Fraud: We will ask you to provide your credit card or debit card billing address and cardholder details 

when you book. Please ensure that the details you give match those on your credit card billing statement. We reserve 

the right to cancel tickets after issue if payment is declined or incorrect cardholder details and billing information have 

been supplied to us. To help combat fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to carry out random checks, including 

checks of the electoral roll, and may request you to either fax or post to us proof of your address and a copy of the 

credit card and recent statement before issuing any tickets. 

C4. Insurance 

It is a condition of our contract with you that you have suitable insurance cover for the travel arrangements you have 

booked with us and any activities which you expect to take part in. For a no obligation quote, please visit your local 

Thomas Cook or Going Places travel agent or visit the website www.thomascookinsurance.com 

C5. Flight Reconfirmation 

It is your responsibility to ensure that you reconfirm the departure date and times of all your flights at least 72 hours 

prior to departure. This is particularly important in respect of subsequent journeys after you have left the UK. 

C6. Ticketing 

Your tickets and any other documents relating to your booking will be sent to the address which you give us at the 

time of booking, or may be delivered by e-mail in the form of an e-ticket if you supplied an e-mail address at the time 

of booking. Provided you have paid the total cost of the travel arrangements, we will endeavour to dispatch your 

tickets to you at least 2 weeks prior to departure. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU CHECK ALL DETAILS OF YOUR TRAVEL 

DOCUMENTS BEFORE LEAVING THE UK. IF THERE ARE ANY INACCURACIES OR YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUERY 

PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY. 

C7. Changes You Make Before Travel 

If you want to change the arrangements you have booked in any way, we will try to help you, although we cannot 

guarantee that we will always be able to do this as changes are subject to availability at the time and to our terms 

and conditions and those of the transport or accommodation providers’. 

For any changes that can be made, we will charge the price that applies on the day the change is made. Remember 

any change to your departure date, airport, transport, destination, accommodation, or length of holiday has to apply 

to all members of your booking. 

The lead name on the booking must give to your travel agent or to us directly, notice to change. We will apply 

charges from the date we receive the instruction from you or your travel agent. 

You may not change a holiday chosen from our brochures/websites to special offer holiday such as those featured in 

promotional publications, or to a 'Late Holiday' (see section ’Late Holiday Bookings’), without incurring cancellation 

charges. Such a change would necessitate the cancellation of your existing arrangements subject to our cancellation 

charges shown and the re-booking of new arrangements at the price applying on the day the booking is made. 

We will not be able to amend the details of a ‘Late Holiday’ (see section ’Late Holiday Bookings' for definition), unless 

you are prevented from proceeding with your Late Holiday for reasons beyond your control, and not simply due to a 

change of mind. Cancellation charges apply to all amendments to holidays of these types. See section ‘Cancellation 

by You’ for more information. 

You are not permitted to change all the names on any booking and at least one of the passengers (over 18) on the 

original booking must remain, unless you are prevented from travelling for reasons beyond your control and not 

simply from a change of mind. 

The following tables set out the charges for changes you make to bookings: 

Our charges for amendments to package holidays that include charter flights 

The costs shown are charges per person.

Note 1: It is not possible to transfer your booking to a departure date more than 3 months after your original travel 

date without incurring cancellation charges. 

Note 2: You are not permitted to change all the names on any booking and therefore, at least one of the passengers 

(over 18) on the original booking must remain. Name changes on day of departure, where permitted, will incur 

additional administration costs. 

Our Suppliers Charges for Amendments to Package Holidays that include, Scheduled Flights, Low 

Cost Carrier Flights and other Transport Services (such as Eurostar). 

Please note that the majority of our flight, car hire, Eurostar and transfer providers do not typically allow changes to 

be made to tickets after bookings have been made. The tickets we sell are very restrictive and our charges reflect the 

charges imposed by our suppliers. 

Changes such as name changes (including initial changes), destination and date changes can be treated by such 

suppliers as a cancellation and rebooking, regardless of the period of notice given to us. If the supplier treats the 

change as a cancellation and rebooking we will pass on to you the cost imposed by the supplier, which could be up 

to 100% of the ticket price, in addition to any difference in price for the changed arrangements and, you must also 

pay an amount to cover our administration costs as detailed below. Also note that the transport provider may refuse 

to issue replacement tickets for lost or stolen tickets and new tickets may have to be purchased by you. The cost of 

the new ticket may be greater than the cost of the original ticket. 

In addition to any charges applied by the transport providers, we will also apply a maximum charge of £25 for each 

person on the booking and for each item you want to change to cover our costs of administering the change. Any 

booking discount you may have received at the time the original booking was made, may be altered or reduced 

whenever changes are made.

Changes You Make to Extra Services 

If you change any ‘Extras’ such as lift passes, tuition, equipment rental or excursions we will pass on any costs 

imposed by the provider of the service, which may be up to 100% if the cost of the extra service. In addition, we will 

charge up to £15 per person per change to cover our costs of administering the change. 

C8. Cancellation By You 

The lead name on the booking must give to your travel agent or to us directly, notice to cancel in writing, either to 

the Travel Agent or to the correspondence address as stated on the invoice. We will apply charges from the date we 

receive the instruction from you or your travel agent. For cancellations you make to accommodation, the charges set 

out in the table below will apply, in addition to any difference in price for the changed arrangements. The flights and 

Eurostar tickets we sell are 100% non-refundable in the event you want to cancel your booking in full or in part. 

Please note that the price of your flight includes the amount (currently £2.50 per person) which we are required to 

pay to the CAA as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (“the APC Sum”). In the event that you choose to cancel 

your flight the APC Sum is not refundable in any circumstances. 

If you do cancel, you must still pay any insurance premiums and administration charges, which arose before the 

cancellation, and any deposits paid for any pre-booked items or services. 

If any member of the booking cancels and you cannot fill that person's place, you may have to pay additional 

supplements for your accommodation. For example, you may have to pay single or under-occupancy supplements. If 

you do cancel, you must still pay any insurance premiums and amendment charges, which arose before the 

cancellation, and any deposits paid for any pre-booked items or services.

Our Cancellation Charges for Package Holidays that include, Scheduled Flights, Low Cost Carrier 

Flights and other Transport Services (such as Eurostar). 

When we sell you a Package including transport services other than Charter flights, we generally ask for only a low 

deposit when you make your booking. Such deposits are unlikely to cover the costs we incur if you cancel your 

booking outside of 56 days of departure. In consideration of accepting a lower deposit when you book, our 

cancellation charges for Packages significantly increase within 56 days of departure. Within 7 days of departure any 

cancellation you make incurs 100% charges and the price of your Package is non-refundable.

allow cancellations of accommodation – any such changes will incur up to 100% charges. Where this applies, you 

will be advised at the time of booking. For all other cancellations you make to accommodation the following charges 

apply.

100% of the cost you have paid us when you give notice to cancel. 

Cancellation of Extra Services 

If you cancel any ‘Extras’ such as lift passes, tuition, equipment rental or excursions we will pass on any costs imposed

If you cancel any travel insurance you booked through us your premium will not be refunded, as cover under the 

policy will already have begun. 

C9. Suppliers’ Conditions 

Our third party suppliers have their own booking conditions and conditions of carriage, and you will be bound by 

these, so far as the relevant supplier is concerned. Our Suppliers’ Conditions will also apply to your contract with us, 

and in the event of any conflict between the Suppliers’ Conditions and our conditions, the Suppliers’ Conditions will 

prevail, save to the extent that any term in the Suppliers’ Conditions is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, in 

which event our conditions will prevail. Some of our Suppliers’ Conditions may limit or exclude liability on the part of 

the relevant supplier and, by virtue of their application to your contract with us, may also limit or exclude our liability 

to you, and are often subject to International Conventions. Where relevant, copies of such conditions may be 

available for inspection at the office or on the website of the relevant supplier. 

C10. Airline Collapse 

In the unlikely event that the airline with which you are travelling ceases to trade whilst you are abroad, you must 

contact us at the earliest opportunity to allow us to seek to find you an alternative return flight. If you have provided 

us with your contact details for when you are abroad, this may further assist us in contacting you. We shall not be 

liable for any costs you incur in making your own return flight arrangements if you have not given us the opportunity 

to arrange an alternative flight home for you. 

In making alternative return flight arrangements for you we will take the approach of ‘like for like’. What this means 

is that if your flight is an economy seat we will arrange an economy return alternative and if this is not available 

immediately, you will be responsible for the cost of remaining abroad until it is or if you wish to upgrade to an 

immediately available business or first class seat, you will have to pay the difference between the economy seat and 

the upgraded seat. If your flight seat is business or first class, we will endeavour to find an immediately available 

business or first class alternative. Our priority, however, will be to book your return flight as soon as possible and, 

therefore, if the earliest return flight is in a lower class than that which you booked, that return flight is what we will 

arrange for you and that will be the extent of our obligation to you. 

C11. Flight and Other Travel Timings 

Flight timings are provided by airlines and are subject to Air Traffic Control restrictions. All means of transportation 

are subject to weather conditions and the need for constant maintenance and the ability of passengers to check in on 

time. There is no guarantee that transport will depart at the times stated on any itinerary or tickets which you 

receive. All timings are estimates only, and we do not have any liability to you for any delay, which may arise, or for 

any schedule alterations. 

At the Airport – Check-in 

If you fail to check in on time, the airline is entitled to refuse to allow you to board the flight. We cannot accept 

responsibility if such a situation arises and, whilst we endeavour to assist in making alternative travel arrangements to 

your resort, any cost or loss incurred as a result will be your responsibility. 

If you fail to check in at all for your flight from the UK, we retain the right to cancel any other arrangements you have 

booked with us and you will be unable to use your return flight to the UK. No refund can be made for any unused 

arrangements. 

Important notice: you must check-in at least 1 hour prior to departure, failure to do so could result in you being 

denied travel. Remember no calls will be made for your flight so please make sure that you are at the departure gate 

no later than 45 minutes before your departure time. Passengers that are refused travel will be responsible for 

arranging alternative transportation at their own expense. 

C12. Denied Boarding 

Where a flight ticket is downgraded or a flight cancelled, delayed, or boarding is denied by any carrier in 

circumstances which would entitle you to compensation under the Denied Boarding Regulations 2004, then you are 

obliged to claim the appropriate sums pursuant to those Regulations from the carrier. Any sums received by you in 

this respect constitute the full amount of your entitlement to compensation for all matters flowing from the carrier’s 

actions and which fall within the scope of the Denied Boarding Regulations. If, for any reason, you do not claim 

against the carrier and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any 

compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the carrier in relation to the 

claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. 

C13. Complaints 

If you are not satisfied with any aspect of your travel arrangements please complain as soon as possible to the relevant 

person (for example, your holiday representative, if applicable, the hotel management or Customer Relations Desk). If 

they cannot help you must contact us on the telephone number supplied to you on your invoice/receipt and we will 

do everything reasonably possible to sort the problem out. If you are still not satisfied please write to the relevant 

address below within 28 days of returning home. If you have special needs, which prevent you from writing to us 

then, where possible, we will accept details of your complaint over the telephone. 

The address to send complaints to is: 

For all Ski and Snowboard Holidays 

Customer Relations – Neilson/STS/Skidom, Thomas Cook Group, 2/4 Godwin Street, Bradford, BD1 2ST 

For all Lakes and Mountains, Beachclub and Yachting Holidays 

Customer Services, Locksview, Brighton Marina, Brighton, BN2 5HA 

To speak to us personally please call 0845 070 3464 

Alternatively you can email us using the relevant address below: 

customerservices@neilson.com 

customerservices@swisstravel.com 

customerservices@skidom.com 

We would point out that failure to follow the above procedures and/or failure to complain within 28 days of your 

return, may reduce or extinguish any rights you have to claim compensation from us, or from any relevant supplier. 

Any such rights will be reduced or extinguished if, had you followed the above procedures, you or we could have 

taken steps to reduce any loss or damage suffered or entirely prevented it from being suffered. 

It is difficult and sometimes impossible properly to investigate a complaint if we are not told about it reasonably 

quickly once your trip is over. Your right to claim compensation may also be reduced or extinguished, should any 

delay in your complaint being notified during or after your trip, prevent us from carrying out a proper investigation. 

We aim to resolve all complaints ourselves, but if this is not possible, your complaint can be considered under a 

dispute resolution scheme devised by ABTA and administered by IDRS Ltd. We will give you details of this scheme if 

you ask. The scheme does not apply to claims over £25,000 in total or more than £5,000 per person, or to claims 

mainly about illness or injury. To take advantage of the scheme you must contact the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators 

within 9 months of returning from your trip. 

C14. Travel Advice 

For up to date UK Government health & travel advice (including passport, visa and health requirements) please 

contact the Foreign & Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Unit. The FCO may have issued information about your 

holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on the FCO website: visit www.fco.gov.uk. 

Alternatively call 0845 8502829. See our website for further information. 

C15. General Information 

Joint Services: Please note that two airlines may share the same services; therefore a flight may not be operated by the 

airline whose designated code is shown on your itinerary and ticket. 

Taxes: We will advise you of all mandatory taxes, which you must pay before departure. However, many countries 

charge departure taxes that can only be paid locally. It is therefore recommended that you retain sufficient local 

currency to meet such charges. Details of departure taxes can be obtained from the relevant airline when you 

reconfirm your flight details. 

C16. Special requests 

If you have a special request for anything that is not automatically part of the travel arrangements you book through 

us, please advise us when you book and we will pass this information on to the companies we work with. Our note of 

your request on your invoice/receipt confirms we have received it and does not guarantee that we, or the relevant 

supplier, can meet with your request. Where possible they will try to help you, but we cannot guarantee any request 

unless it is noted on your invoice/receipt and we also confirm the request separately in writing. We must emphasise 

that verbal confirmations of special requests cannot be taken as a guarantee that they will be met e.g. special meal 

types on flights. We will not pay compensation for failing to meet a special request that we have not confirmed 

separately in writing. 

C17. Disabled Travellers and Passengers with Reduced Mobility 

We cannot be held responsible if you fail to tell us about special needs/requirements that will affect your holiday 

experience and this means we will not compensate you. For customers who require support or advice prior to 

booking, please note carefully the information below regarding different travel arrangements and for further 

assistance please contact our Special Needs Team on 0800 1073409. This is a dedicated telephone line for special 

needs enquiries and we are unable to transfer calls to other departments. 

88 

If you have a medical / mobility problem / condition or disability which may affect your holiday, please tell us before 

you confirm your booking. We and our suppliers may require a doctor’s certificate or other documentation, 

information or waiver relating to such disability, medical / mobility problem or condition or fitness to travel as we or 

our suppliers consider necessary. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking. 

Overseas accommodation and services 

The majority of overseas accommodation, overseas transport (including transfers) and other holiday services provided 

overseas are not equipped to cater for the needs of many disabled holidaymakers. If you have any disability, you 

must make appropriate enquiries about the suitability of particular accommodation, resorts, transport and services, 

and that you are fully satisfied you have made the correct choice before you book and confirm your holiday. Please 

note: if special arrangements need to be made for you an extra charge may have to be levied. 

Flights 

If you or a member of your party are a wheelchair user or have reduced mobility we strongly advise that you contact 

us directly or your travel agent before making your reservation. This will enable your travel agent to confirm with us 

or the airline and airport the availability of any assistance requirements prior to booking, as any changes made after 

booking will be subject to our standard change fees. 

C18. Excursions 

Excursions include, but are not restricted to, any sightseeing trips, events or other tours for which additional payment 

is required. Excursions can either be booked and/or paid for in resort or pre-booked and paid for when you book your 

Package with us ("Pre-booked Excursions"). All excursions are supplied by third party suppliers and are subject to the 

section entitled "Suppliers' Conditions" above. We accept, subject to the Sections entitled "Suppliers' Conditions" and 

"Our Liability to You" above, responsibility for Pre-booked Excursions. However, Overseas Booked Excursions do not 

form part of your Package and are not governed by the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tours 

Regulations 1992. We do not have any responsibility or liability whatsoever for anything which may go wrong on an 

Overseas Booked Excursion. We, our servants, employees or agents are acting, depending upon the actual Overseas 

Booked Excursion, either as agents for the relevant Overseas Booked Excursion supplier or as agent for you. In any 

event the contract for any Overseas Booked Excursion is between you and the Overseas Booked Excursion provider. It 

is your responsibility to note carefully any conditions of contract contained in any Overseas Booked Excursion, 

literature, ticket or receipt you are given. For Overseas Booked Excursions you may be subject to the laws of the 

country in which you take your excursion and may be required to bring any disputes or claims before the Courts of 

that country also. 

C19. Flight Detail 

If it is possible, at the time of booking, to provide details of the type of aircraft, which will be used, we will provide 

you with these. However, it is not possible to guarantee that this is the type of aircraft which will be used because 

this may change. 

C20. Information and Prices 

We publish brochure and website information many months in advance and, as far as we know, all information is 

correct at the time of publication. However, things may still change after publication and we check regularly to see if 

we need to update or correct any information or prices. If there are any significant information changes or we find 

any mistakes, we will put details on our computer reservation system or website so you will receive the latest 

information when you make your booking 

Descriptions of accommodation, facilities, services and itineraries we provide are based on information obtained from 

our suppliers. Sometimes the facilities described, such as air conditioning, swimming pools or equipment for activities 

(for example, a particular dinghy, bike, windsurfer or a water ski boats), will be withdrawn for reasons such as 

maintenance, bad weather or lack of demand from guests. Where our suppliers advise us about significant changes to 

descriptions or about the withdrawal of any significant facility, we will tell you as soon as possible. 

Some activities, for example, tobogganing, snowmobiling and dog-sledding, parasailing, scuba diving, watersports or 

golf, where not directly provided by us, or facilities such as hire shops, restaurants, shuttle buses and ski lifts, may not 

be available at all times and are normally managed by independent local operators. We have no control over their 

availability or prices. Outside the peak season it is common for facilities and services to be less widely available, both 

in your accommodation and holiday resort/destination generally. Some activities or facilities may not be available all 

year round. There may be a charge for some facilities, for example, TVs, safety deposit boxes, saunas, and airconditioning. 

In some places during high season (and even at other times) there is a possibility you will be disturbed 

by noise from less considerate groups, so please bear this in mind when choosing your destination and 

accommodation. Any transfer times we quote for travel between airport and resort are approximate and, depending 

on circumstances, the journey time to your own chosen property may be longer. 

C21. Diving 

Failure to produce your qualification may result in refusal to dive and you will not be entitled to a refund on your dive 

pack. You may be asked to complete a Scuba Review if you have not dived for a period of 6 months or more. Unless 

this is pre-booked you will be charged extra in resort. 

C22. Personal Information 

We will provide your personal information, as well as any personal 

information you provide in relation to those other persons who form your booking party, to suppliers and carriers 

who might be located outside the UK and/or EU, to enable the operation of the services requested by you. If you 

make special requests, which include, but are not limited to, special dietary, religious or disability-related 

requirements, which constitute sensitive information, the relevant data will also be passed to the relevant suppliers 

and carriers to enable provision of the services to you. 

C23. Your Responsibility 

We want all our customers to have an enjoyable, carefree Holiday. But you must remember that you are responsible 

for your actions and the effect they may have on others. If we, or another person in authority, believe: 

your actions could upset, annoy or disturb other customers, our suppliers or our own staff, or put them in any risk or 

danger, or damage property; or 

you are unfit to travel; 

we may end your Holiday and terminate your contract. You and your travelling party will be prevented from using 

your booked accommodation, transport, and any other Travel Arrangements forming part of your booking and we 

will not be liable for any refund, compensation or any other costs you have to pay. Alternatively at our discretion, you 

may be permitted to continue with your Holiday but may have additional terms of carriage imposed upon you. See 

'In-Flight Safety in the All You Need To Know/Holiday Information sections of the relevant brochure and on our 

websites for further details. 

In addition to the above and the effect your actions may have on others, you must particularly also bear in mind that 

you are responsible for your safety, and that you are resp 

onsible for the condition of the property you occupy. We are not responsible for any accidents which occur in or 

around swimming pools due to your inappropriate, or irresponsible behaviour, or for any accidents which occur 

anywhere on properties because of glass, china or the like which you have broken and/or have left in a way in which 

injury can result. 

We expect that you will enjoy your holiday with us. We appreciate that you may well drink alcohol as part of your 

enjoyment. You must, however, do so responsibly and we will have no liability to you for any injury, loss or damage 

you suffer as a result of your judgment being impaired wholly or partly by alcohol. 

We will hold you and the members of your travelling party jointly and individually liable for any damage to the 

accommodation, furniture, apparatus or other materials located within the accommodation, together with any legal 

costs we incur in pursuing a claim. It is your duty to report any breakages, defects or damage to an appropriate 

person immediately. 

If your behaviour or the behaviour of any members of your travelling party causes any transport aircraft to be diverted 

we and/or the carrier will hold you and those members jointly and individually liable for all costs incurred as a result 

of that diversion. 

We cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others in your accommodation or flight, or for any facilities/services 

withdrawn as a result of their action. 

C24. Law and Jurisdiction 

Your contract will be governed by English law and any disputes will be dealt with in the courts of England and Wales. 

If you live in Northern Ireland or Scotland, the courts of Northern Ireland or Scotland (as appropriate), can deal with 

any disputes.
