In 1869 Thomas Cook escorted his first tour to Egypt, “a great event in the arrangements of
modern travel”, and a defining point in the story of our company. In 2009, we celebrated 140
years in Egypt, during which time Thomas Cook established the popularity of Nile cruises and
became synonymous with tourism in Egypt.
6

The Original Experts
Making History
Awed by the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the people and the mighty
Nile, Cook’s party of 32 pioneering tourists in 1869 enjoyed
comfort aboard the steam boats of the Viceroy of Egypt, “visited
the most famous places on the banks of the Nile”, and followed
closely behind the Prince of Wales on his own journey through the
region. Part of a bigger tour through the Bible lands, this was just
the beginning of our long relationship with Egypt.
Cook’s Legacy
Fascination with Ancient Egypt was so huge that Thos Cook & Son
soon opened an office in Cairo in 1872 and, in 1877, the first of
the company’s own hotels in the country – the Luxor Hotel
at Luxor.
Later additions included the Karnak Hotel at Luxor and the
Grand and Cataract Hotels at Aswan. And, in 1886, work began on
the first Thomas Cook Nile Fleet, starting with the Prince Abbas
and Tewfik steamers. These cruises became the linchpin of Cook’s
tours in Egypt and eventually a shipyard was established at Boulaq,
Cairo where Thomas Cook’s Nile fleet was born. Our Nile trips are
still a real must for our guests in Egypt and you can select a cruise
of your own from pages 28-35.
In 1884, Thomas Cook arranged transportation for the British Army
to travel through Egypt to rescue General Gordon in Khartoum
and during the Second World War, Cook’s steamers were used as
rest centres and officers’ clubs.
The Suez Crisis in 1956 brought tourism to a halt in Egypt,
but never to be deterred, in the early 1960s we reopened our
offices and branches, and tourism resumed.
The pioneering spirit which was the hallmark of Thomas Cook’s
Egypt is still evident today, and customers continue to enjoy the
unrivalled customer service and attention to detail first provided
in 1869.
”I feel myself happy to have been permitted to be
the conductor of a party of intelligent enquirers to this
wonderful land, and to this astonishing river.”
Thomas Cook, as published in Cook’s Excursionist
and Tourist Advertiser, May 1869.

Steeped in a history that stretches back five thousand years and scaled by a dazzling landmark
river, it is imprints of the past which makes Egypt one of the most wonderful places on Earth.
Neighbouring Jordan boasts magnificent geological wonders of equal significance and splendour
while fragrant Morocco never fails to enchant its visitors.

Holiday Choices

Beyond Egypt
Jordan is home to one of the New Wonders of the World, Petra.
However, beyond the geological treasure you will be able to

of Wadi Rum. Travel to Morocco and let your senses unravel the
different sights and sounds that fill this enchanting country or go
in search of the medieval monuments found in the imperial cites.

After your adventure, why not head to the warm crystal waters of
the Red Sea which attracts many visitors from across the world.

EGYPT
Home to the lone survivor of the Seven Wonders of
the Ancient World, Egypt is something of a wonder
herself. One of Thomas Cook’s original destinations
in the 1860s, the fascination of this extraordinary
slice of living history continues to draw us in.
From the Sun Temples of Abu Simbel
in the south to the towering
Pyramids of Giza in the north,
Egypt is a land that will transport
you back 5,000 years to the time of
the Pharaohs. But Egypt has a more
modern side as well: visit the Red
Sea’s sophisticated resorts for
some of the best scuba diving in
the world.
What to See
The sights of Egypt are many and
legendary. They range from those
you simply can’t afford to miss - the
pyramids at Giza, the Valley of the
Kings at Luxor, the Aswan High Dam
- to the sights you knew nothing
about before you saw them, but
once seen are never forgotten:
St Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai,
Seti’s magnificent temple at Abydos
or the Sun Temple of Ramses at
Abu Simbel.
Cairo, Egypt’s capital, stands at the
crossroads between Asia, Africa and
Europe, while holding centre stage
on the Arab world. Here not only will
your breath be taken away by the
Great Pyramids, but also by the
splendid Egyptian Museum and the
labyrinthine warren of the Khan
El-Khalili souks. Just south of the
city, visit Memphis, the temples,
pyramids and tombs of Saqqara and
the pyramids of Dahshur.
A cruise up the emerald Nile will
bring you to Luxor and the Valley of
the Kings. Further on there are
splendid temples at Edfu, Kom
Ombo and Abu Simbel. Travelling to
the east, to Sinai, St Catherine’s
Monastery celebrates the location of
the Burning Bush at the foot of
Mount Sinai.
12
What to Do
Cruising the Nile, riding a camel
through the desert and exploring a
civilization’s worth of ruins might be
the obvious activities for a visitor to
Egypt and are certainly not to be
missed, but the country offers so
much more.
Along the Red Sea coast, clear
waters, spectacular corals and an
abundance of marine life contribute
to making this one of the world’s
best sites for snorkelling and scuba
diving. Fishing and a variety of other
water sports, along with fabulous
beaches and great resorts, all add up
to the perfect seaside holiday.
For a once-in-a-lifetime memory,
book a balloon ride to see dawn
break over the Valley of the Kings.
Evenings are also magical:
experience the wonders of a soundand-light
performance at the Great
Pyramids, Abu Simbel or Karnak.
What to Eat & Drink
Egyptian cuisine draws upon both
Middle Eastern and Mediterranean
foods - look out for mezze, kushari
and minced lamb dishes. Mint tea,
fruit juices and local beer are good
to drink.
What to Buy
Traditional handicrafts include
Egyptian cotton, jewellery, papyrus,
copper and brassware, and polished
wooden boxes.

tombs and temples of Luxor or Cairo
and the next you can be submerged
in the Red Sea surrounded by scores
of colourful reef fish. To make the
most of this vibrant country, try a
multi-centre holiday. An ideal break
could include three nights in Cairo
giving you plenty of time to see the
mighty pyramids followed by an
action-packed four night visit to the
ancient sights of Luxor, perfectly
finished with a relaxing four night
break by the Red Sea in Sharm el
Sheikh. Whatever your preference,
your holiday choices are endless and

Egypt Cairo
CAIRO
Who hasn’t dreamt of visiting the pyramids or
wished to stand and wonder at the enigmatic
expression on the face of the Sphinx? These last
remaining wonders of the ancient world cast a spell
over all who see them - Cairo is a truly
unforgettable experience.
Making the Most of Cairo
Egypt’s capital is a walled medieval city on the banks of the
world’s longest river, the spiritual, cultural and political centre
of the Arabic world and a treasury for one of humanity’s
greatest civilisations. Though its most famous monuments
may be in memory of those long dead, Cairo is a city that is
very much alive - vibrant and dynamic for a new millennium.
What to See
No one could come to Cairo and not
visit the three Great Pyramids at
Giza, mausoleums to the Pharaohs
Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus.
These huge constructions were
completed more than 2,000 years
BC - clamber through the narrow,
internal passages and it’s as if time
has stood still. Guarding the Pyramid
of Chephren, the Sphinx rises 20
metres from the ground and was
carved out of a single huge block
of limestone.
Just as essential is a visit to the
stunning Egyptian Museum,
where over 120,000 artefacts of
the ancient Egyptians are housed,
including the treasures of
Tutankhamun.
In the heart of the medieval city,
you’ll discover the Al-Azhar Mosque,
which is also the world’s oldest
surviving university. Nearby, the
great Khan al-Khalili bazaar is a
warren of tiny alleyways and
beautiful Arabic architecture.
What to Do
For a magical experience, attend one
of the sound-and-light shows at the
pyramids - wonderfully atmospheric.
Camel rides are another essential
pyramid experience and you may
wish to complete your visit by
seeing the Solar Boat Museum
which contains a wooden funerary
boat of one of the Pharaohs.
Back in the city, take a cruise down
the Nile on a felucca, one of the
traditional river boats.
A day trip to Memphis and Saqqara
is also recommended. Memphis was
the ancient capital of Egypt and
has an excellent museum; there are
also temple ruins and the Step
Pyramid of Zoser, the world’s oldest
stone monument.
What to Eat & Drink
Egyptian food takes its influences
from the Levantine cuisine of the
Mediterranean - grilled and minced
meat dishes, falafels, unleavened
bread and kushari, a delicious
combination of rice, noodles
and lentils.
What to Buy
Egypt has a wealth of traditional
handicrafts from carpet weaving
to wood carving, textiles, carved
alabaster, jewellery, papyrus
and copperware.
Please see the Holiday Information
section for important information
on health precautions, travel advice,
passport and visa requirements.

Egypt Luxor
LUXOR
On the eastern bank of the world’s longest river,
Luxor can trace its history back 4,000 years.
Then, as Thebes, it was the capital of the Egyptians’
New Kingdom and home to the Pharaohs whose
tombs can be visited in the vast necropolis of the
Valley of the Kings.
Making the Most of Luxor
Probably the world’s most important historical site, the
concentration of ancient monuments in and surrounding this
historic city make it a must-see destination on anyone’s
itinerary. The temples, tombs and statues of Egypt’s most
famous rulers are a stunning testament to their determination
to be remembered beyond their own lifetimes: your enduring
memories of your visit are the evidence of their success.
What to See
On the East Bank of the Nile, in the
heart of the city, the incomparable
Luxor Temple is stunning by day but
even more amazing when floodlit at
night. From here, follow the Avenue
of Sphinxes - of which there are
more than 700 - to the vast Temple
of Karnak, an ancient complex of
obelisks, gateways and chambers.
Escape the heat by visiting the Luxor
Museum or the Mummification
Museum, both of which offer
fascinating insights into the city’s
earliest inhabitants.
Take the ferry across to the West
Bank to explore Thebes’ ancient ‘city
of the dead’. You will be welcomed
by the two gargantuan Colossi of
Memnon. Beyond them lie some 62
tombs, although not all of them are
open to the public. In the Valley of
the Kings, try to see the tombs of
Tutankhamun, Sethos, Ramses and
Amenophis. The Valley of the
Queens is also worth seeing, as is
the monumental Funerary Temple of
Hatshepsut, rising above the desert
as if it were built only yesterday.
What to Do
If the heat and dust all become too
much, take a break from the tomband-temple
circuit with a relaxing
cruise on the river on a traditional
felucca. You may want to watch in
awe the bright illuminations of the
Sound & Light show at the Temple
of Karnak and gain some insight into
the history of the temples.
One of the best ways to see the
Valley of the Kings is to take a hotair-balloon
ride just before dawn -
the sight of the sun rising over such
an ancient and important
monument will live in your
memory forever.
What to Eat & Drink
While fine dining is mainly found in
the hotels, the city of Luxor has
some excellent Middle Eastern
restaurants: look for one with a view
over the Nile or of the temples.
What to Buy
The souk in Luxor is a fascinating
place to visit with plenty on offer.
Be prepared to bargain hard for
scarves, herbs and spices, carved
alabaster and jewellery.
Please see the Holiday Information
section for important information
on health precautions, travel advice,
passport and visa requirements.

THE TEMPLES OF
KARNAK & LUXOR
Price:
The Temples of Karnak and Luxor on the East
Bank of the Nile together form the largest temple
complex in Egypt. Both are a collection of
amazing structures erected by a long succession
of kings. At Luxor you will be greeted by a huge
statue of Ramses II which stands guard over the
sacred temple. View the courtyard of Ramses II
and various side chapels depicting scenes from
battles and religious ceremonies. Just one mile
north of this site is the Temple of Karnak.
Here you will find the temple of Amun-Re,
the largest surviving temple supported by columns
in the world. The temple’s numerous pieces of art,
statues and towering obelisks are unmissable.

SOUND & LIGHT - THE
TEMPLE OF KARNAK
Price:
This unique performance recites the story of the
magnificent Temple of Karnak whilst entertaining
you with a spectacular show of light and music.
The show narrates the story of the temples and
the history of Thebes, including the lives and
achievements of some of the great pharaohs who
built the necropolis. The remains of the temple are
reflected in the Sacred Lake, the setting for the
breathtaking finale of this informative tour.
Watch in awe at the bright illuminations reflecting
off the water and lighting up the sky as the
ancient splendour of Thebes comes back to life.

Price:

standing proudly yet virtually alone at the
entrance to what was Amenhotep III’s mortuary
temple, then move on to the Valley of the Kings.
Here you can view some of the 62 known tombs
buried here. These belong to pharaohs from the
New Kingdom, including Ramses the Great and
Tutankhamun. The Valley of the Queens is also
honeycombed with tombs, many of them
much more colourful than those in the Valley of
the Kings. Finally, visit the Temple of Queen
Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. See her unique
temple and the beautiful murals on the
inner walls.
Duration: half a day
Departures: daily from Luxor.

50% discount.
LUXOR MUSEUM
Price:
View an interesting range of exhibits from Karnak
and the local area, discovered in the temples
and necropolis of ancient Thebes. Admire the
craftsmanship of the many statues that are on
display, including sculptures of Tutmose III and
Senosert III of the Twelfth Dynasty, and the
alabaster statue featuring the crocodile-headed
god Sobek. Significant treasures from the
Pharaonic period are also on show here,
from pottery and furniture to valuable pieces of
jewellery. The most fascinating exhibit in the
museum is a collection of statues found in the
Luxor Cachette. These beautifully preserved
sculptures lay undiscovered for over 2000 years
before being unearthed from Luxor Temple
in 1989.

Egypt Aswan
ASWAN
Majestically positioned on the east bank of the Nile,
proud home of natural and manmade wonders,
is the tranquil, stunning city of Aswan.
Making the Most of Aswan
Restful and romantic yet exciting and vibrant, arriving in Aswan
has been compared to arriving in an oasis. Let the tranquil
atmosphere embrace you here as you drink in the beautiful
surroundings. Rest and recharge, before taking in some of the
stunning sights, all at your own leisurely pace.
What to see
The modern town of Aswan is full of
wonderful places to visit, and its
laid-back air is infectious. This is one
of those wonderful places where the
two can be combined by hiring a
felucca, small sailing boats, to taxi
you along the Nile.
Aswan is famous across the globe
for its High Dam - an incredible
sight. It was built using 17 times as
much material as was needed in
constructing the Great Pyramid of
Cheops. A massive artificial lake,
Lake Nasser, stretches back 500km
from the dam. The beautiful
Kalabsha Temple was rebuilt along
the High Dam circuit in the 1970s,
having originally stood in an area
now beneath the waters of
Lake Nasser.
The journey to the dam is full of a
number of other places visitors will
wish to take a glimpse at. Highlights
include the Old Aswan Dam, and the
Unfinished Obelisk which measures
more than 27 metres.
The Temple of Isis and the Temple
of Hathor are found along with a
number of other picturesque ruins
on the island of Agilqiyyah, known
as Philae. The incredible temples at
Abu Simbel are also well worth a
visit, especially to take in the
colossal 20 metre high figures.
What to do
Enjoy a relaxing sail on a traditional
felucca to visit the botanical gardens
of Kitchener’s Island. The whole
island is beautifully landscaped and
contains many tropical trees, plants,
and flowering bushes, which
contrast stunningly with the Sahara
Desert just a short distance across
the Nile.
A visit to the Nubian Museum is
also recommended. Dedicated to
the history and culture of Nubia,
this modern museum houses
thousands of objects recovered from
tombs, temples and settlements
which were submerged under the
rising waters of Lake Nasser. These
range from the flint arrowheads of
pre-history to a monumental eightmetre
tall statue of Ramses II.
What to Eat & Drink
Aswan offers a good choice of
Egyptian and international
restaurants, with a number being
clustered around the Corniche el-Nil.
At the Panorama Bar at the
Movenpick Resort hotel you can
enjoy a stunning 360° view of
Aswan and the Nile whilst sipping
mint tea, fruit juices or a local beer.
What to Buy
The main market in Aswan is known
as the Sharia el Souk. On display you
will find an array of Nubian
handicrafts, tea leaves, fragrant
spices (such as hibiscus and saffron),
lanterns, silk scarves, Nubian
skullcaps and jewellery.

A GUIDE TO
NILE CRUISING
A cruise along the Nile must surely rank as one of the
most memorable journeys of your life. Settle in to a
lifestyle of luxury as the Land of the Pharaohs slowly
drifts by your window; disembark to visit temples,
tombs and gardens – surely the most relaxing way
possible to explore Egypt’s ancient wonders.
Whichever Nile cruise itinerary you
select, you will be staying on a
wonderfully luxurious ship with
excellent facilities, fine dining and
superb service. The cabins are
spacious and comfortable, and there
are extensive public areas with
lounges, restaurants, bars and
sundecks. Between excursions to
some of Egypt’s most famous
landmark sites, you will be able to
relax on board and take advantage of
the extensive facilities on offer.
What to See
Our Nile cruise selection offers a
choice of brilliant itineraries, between
Luxor and Aswan, all in the company
of an expert Egyptologist who
will guide you and answer
your questions.
Our Nile Discovery Cruise on board
the Thomas Cook Nile cruiser,
the Royal Serenade, enables you to
visit all the major sights between
Luxor and Aswan. This intimate ship
schedules sightseeing stops at Luxor,
Dendera, Edfu, Kom Ombo,
and Aswan.
Cruising on the Ra II will give you the
opportunity to see the Valley of the
Kings, Karnak and other important
temples, as well as an optional tour
of Abu Simbel. On our most luxurious
craft, the Oberoi Zahra, you will be
able to visit all the major sights,
including the Valley of the Kings, the
Temples of Horus and Hathor, and
the Aswan High Dam.
Cruises also operate on Lake Nasser,
where the charming MS Prince Abbas
ship will take you to the treasures of
ancient Nubia including Abu Simbel,
the Valley of the Lions, and Egypt’s
largest Roman temple at Kalabsha.
28
As well as taking in the famous
temples and tombs, a Nile or Lake
Nasser cruise gives you a unique
perspective of rural Egypt where
people live much the same way
they did thousands of years ago.
Fishermen cast their nets, farmers
tend their crops, and children run
along the bank calling and waving to
you as you pass by. It is truly a
wonderful experience to relax on a
shaded deck while watching 5,000
years of culture drift by.
What to Do
Cruising is an eminently civilized way
to enjoy the pleasures of sightseeing
without the rigours of road or rail
travel. Between destinations your
time is your own on your elegant
floating hotel. All the ships we feature
offer good standards of comfort and
amenities; each one has either a
swimming or a plunge pool, bars
where you can lounge with a book
or meet friends for cocktails, and
sumptuous restaurants. On the Royal
Serenade you’ll also find a games
area, a whirlpool and a gift shop,
while the Oberoi Zahra, has a therapy
room, a gym, a theatre, a library and a
cigar lounge, as well 24hr private
butler service.
Eating & Drinking
on Your Cruise
Dining on a Nile cruiser is always a
pleasurable experience and, of course,
all your meals on board are included
in the price of your cruise. The ships
generally offer a buffet and à la carte
service with a choice of both Egyptian
and international cuisine. Drinks are
not included in the price but there are
elegant bars for sundowners and
cocktails - or a nightcap as you reflect
upon the adventures of the day under
a blanket of Egyptian stars.

monument in the country - it is
dedicated to two deities - Sobek
(crocodile-headed god) and Horus
(falcon-headed god).
Aswan
There are some beautiful islands
around Aswan and the best way to
see them is from the deck of a
felucca, a traditional Egyptian boat.
Kitchener’s Island has a wonderful
collection of exotic plants and
tropical flowers, and also well
worth a visit is the Unfinished
Obelisk, Aswan High Dam and the
Nubian Museum.

Philae
The Temple of Philae was saved
from the rising waters of Lake
Nasser and reconstructed at its
present site. It is dedicated to the
gods Isis and Osiris and is the
location of an excellent Sound &
Light show.
Abu Simbel
The temples of Abu Simbel are truly
the finest and largest monuments
in Nubia. The main temple was
carved out of a single piece of rock,
with a façade featuring four
colossal statues of Ramses II,
each over 60-feet high. There is also
a second smaller temple at Abu
Simbel dedicated to Ramses II’s

Egypt Red Sea
RED SEA
Egypt’s elegant Red Sea resorts represent the
modern face of this most historic of countries.
Sophisticated hotels, pristine beaches, crystal-clear
water and the world’s best dive sites guarantee a
most memorable holiday.
Making the Most of the Red Sea
The resort destinations that we have selected along Egypt’s
Red Sea shore reflect everything we would want out of a
holiday; beautiful surroundings, first-class service and
excellent facilities. At Soma Bay, El Gouna, Hurghada,
Sahl Hasheesh and Sharm el Sheikh you will be warmly
welcomed to a corner of paradise where the blue sky meets
the sapphire sea and total relaxation beckons.
What to See
Unlike other Egyptian destinations,
a holiday on the Red Sea isn’t
all about ancient history.
The attractions here are more
natural and you’ll be able to see
them through the bottom of a
glass-bottomed boat or while
snorkelling or scuba diving.
The unique geographical features of
the Red Sea have resulted in the
most spectacular coral reefs,
attracting divers from all over the
world to Egypt’s stunning marine
national parks. Rainbow-coloured
coral vies for attention with more
than a thousand species of marine
life, not to mention shipwrecks, in a
panorama that stretches for miles;
compulsive viewing that will bring
you back here time and time again.
Away from the sea, a day trip from
Sharm el Sheikh will bring you to
St Catherine’s Monastery at the foot
of Mount Sinai - only accessible by
foot, camel or jeep. At the location
of the Burning Bush, where Moses
received the Ten Commandments,
this important pilgrimage site is
surrounded by a rugged,
mountainous national park. A two
hour climb will take you to the top
of Mount Sinai for the most
spectacular of views.
40
What to Do
Visitors to El Gouna and Hurghada
will enjoy exploring the multitude
of beautiful islands, lagoons and
inshore reefs. Further afield, a day
trip to the Red Sea monasteries can
offer a change of pace.
A holiday at Sharm el Sheikh can be
given an added dimension by
booking a day trip to Cairo to see
the pyramids - a one-hour flight will
take you to the Egyptian capital for
a spectacular taste of history.
At Soma Bay and Sharm el Sheikh,
keen golfers will find their sport well
catered for with a choice of golf
courses in the area.
What to Eat & Drink
The Red Sea resorts are
sophisticated and all offer a fine
choice of Middle Eastern and
international restaurants, with
seafood obviously topping the
menus.
What to Buy
Sharm el Sheikh has shopping malls,
souvenir shops and duty-free shops;
Soma Bay and El Gouna have
plenty of small boutiques and
souvenir shops.
Please note: some aircraft noise
will be experienced in the resort
of Sharm el Sheikh due to the
proximity of the airport.
Please see the Holiday Information
section for important information
on health precautions, travel advice,
passport and visa requirements.

JORDAN
Spectacular unspoilt landscapes reminiscent of
Biblical scenes, dotted with ancient ruins and
enchanting geographical wonders.
Venture into Jordan’s unspoilt
wilderness, where historical sites
from past civilisations will fuel your
imagination. Home to the unique,
therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea,
the Rose Red City of Petra and the
ancient city of Jerash, and with its
Red Sea resort acting as a window
on its colourful marine life, Jordan is
a truly diverse destination.
What to See
Petra, one of the New Seven
Wonders of the World, is Jordan’s
geological treasure and is a huge
draw for visitors. This sandstone
landscape has been shaped by the
elements and forces of nature,
creating a surreal environment
with its unusual sandstone rock
formations and ancient buildings
carved intricately into the rock.
Be sure to catch the sun’s rays as
they transform Petra’s rocks and
architecture with an intense,
pink glow.
Amman, Jordan’s capital, is
somewhat chaotic, brimming with
life and home to about half of
Jordan’s population. The city is
dotted with various ruins; perhaps
most remarkable are the Roman
amphitheatre and the newly
excavated Umyyas ruins. Just north
of the capital, Jerash is a superbly
well-preserved Roman city making a
dramatic location for its own, twoweek
festival during the summer.
Aqaba is Jordan’s only seaside resort,
set on a narrow, palm-fringed bay,
ringed by mountains - its low-rise
hotels blending into the
environment. Aqaba makes an ideal
retreat after a tour or as a base
for exploration of the south of
the country.
50
What to Do
Jordan borders on the worldrenowned
phenomenon known as
the Dead Sea, where you can float in
its therapeutic mineral waters at the
deepest point of the earth’s crust.
Nearby hotels harness the mineral
laden properties of the sea’s water
and mud, converting them into a
variety of treatments to pamper
you with.
Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence
of Arabia and explore the romantic
splendour of Wadi Rum. Like a
moonscape of valleys and ancient
towering sandstone structures,
Wadi Rum rises out of pinkcoloured
sands.
What to Eat & Drink
Mezze is the traditional way to start
a meal - and there may be up to 30
choices, including humous, labneh
(soft cheese), tabbouleh, kibbeh
made from minced lamb, and
fattoush, a bread salad. Main courses
usually involve grilled or barbecued
meat and kebabs, but there are also
tasty stews and chicken dishes.
Finish with a strong coffee and
sweet pastries.
What to Buy
Traditionally, the people of Jordan
have been traders, but they are less
intent on haggling than in other
Middle Eastern countries. Look out
for textiles and embroidery, carpets
and jewellery, especially gold.
Please see the Holiday Information
section for important information

passport and visa requirements.

MOROCCO
From the snow-covered peaks of the High Atlas
to the fierce dry heat of the Sahara, nowhere can
conjure up visions of romance, mystery and exotic
charm quite like the extraordinary historic cities of
Morocco; Marrakech, El Jadida, Casablanca,
Meknes, Fes and Rabat.
Sights, sounds, smells and flavours -
Morocco is an explosion of sensory
overload drenched in colour, from
the green of the rolling coastal
plains and the cloudless blue sky,
to the red walls of Marrakech,
the golden desert sands and the
kaleidoscopic rainbow of a thousand
souks. Take a deep breath and
prepare to be enchanted.
What to See
Marrakech, at the foot of the Atlas
Mountains, is the capital of southern
Morocco and has a history
stretching back more than a
thousand years. Surrounded by palm
and olive groves, Marrakech is a
lively oasis that rises out of the
dusty plains like a blood-red mirage.
At the heart of the city lies the
medieval Djemaa El Fna square,
alive with music, fire-eaters, snakecharmers
and food stalls. Ancient
souks form a maze of passages
where traders ply their wares in an
endless round of haggling.
Dominating the skyline is the 65metre
minaret of the pale pink
Koutoubia Mosque. Further
important sights include the Bahia
Palace built by the Vizier Ba Ahmed
Ben Moussa at the end of the 19th
century, and the 16th-century
Saadian Tombs with the ruins of
the El Badi Palace.
For a change of pace, spend time in
the city’s most beautiful gardens.
The Jardin Majorelle belonged to
Yves Saint Laurent and contains a
small museum of Islamic art and the
huge Agdal Gardens are a tranquil
oasis of pools and orange groves.
56
What to Do
While Marrakech is the most visited
of all Morocco’s imperial cities, the
others each have their own unique
character. The best way to get a feel
for this fascinating country is to
take a tour.
Casablanca has been immortalised
on film and is the most European of
Morocco’s cities. Here you will find
art deco architecture and the
Hassan II Mosque. El Jadida is a must
for sightseers as it is an historic port
and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fes is the world's oldest living
medieval Muslim city and its souks
are renowned for the quality of their
craftsmen. Erfoud lies on the fringe
of the Sahara, where you can visit
the dunes at Merzouga.
What to Eat & Drink
Moroccan food has a reputation for
excellence. Tagines are served in the
distinctive earthenware dishes and
eaten with steamed couscous.
Equally filling is the spicy national
soup, harira, made with lamb and
chickpeas, and try pastilla, a sweetsavoury
pigeon pie. Meals are
finished with delicious pastries
stuffed with nuts and honey and a
glass of sweet mint tea.
What to Buy
The Moroccan souks are bulging
with handicrafts; carpets, textiles,
ceramics, silverwork, leather goods,
carved and polished wood, slippers
and jewellery. You’ll need to haggle
to get the best price, but that’s all
part of the fun of being in the souk.

section for important information on
health precautions, travel advice,
passport and visa requirements.

TRAVEL NOTES EXPERIENCES
Riads
A riad is a traditional Moroccan
house or palace with an interior
garden courtyard or pool. Almoravids
conquered Spain in the 11th century
and they sent Muslim, Christian
and Jewish artisans from Spain to
Morocco to work on monuments.
These artisans brought with them
the idea of arranging the rooms of
the house around the central openair
courtyard that has become
today’s riads. The riads were inward
focused which allowed for family
privacy and protection from the
weather in Morocco. Many riads
have been converted into hotels and
we have selected some of the best.
Ramadan
During the month of Ramadan a
night time festival atmosphere
prevails (starting approx 1 Aug
2011). At this time Muslims fast
during the day and feast at night.
Some restaurants may be closed
during the day and most restaurants
or bars will not sell alcohol until
after 7pm.
Language
Classical Arabic is Morocco’s official
language, but the country’s
distinctive Arabic dialect is the most
widely spoken language in Morocco.
In addition, about 10 million
Moroccans, mostly in rural areas,
speak Berber as a first language.
French is Morocco’s unofficial third
language, is taught universally and
serves as Morocco’s primary
language of business, economics,
education and government.
Many Moroccans in the northern
part of the country speak Spanish.
English, while still far behind French
and Spanish in terms of number of
speakers, is rapidly becoming the
foreign language of choice among
educated youth.

Morocco
Festivals
Morocco has a number of regional
and local festivals, ranging from the
more traditional and religious to the
modern arts and film.
One of the most popular festivals in
Morocco is the Marrakech Folklore
Festival. During the week-long
festival, folk performances dominate
the Djemaa el-Fna square in
Marrakech where performers and
spectators pack the massive
courtyards of the palace.
Dates are an important part of
Moroccan culture and to celebrate
this, they hold a festival called the
Date Feast in Erfoud. There are
processions, music, folk dance and
lots of Moroccan cuisine.
Marrakech’s International Film
Festival takes over the Djemaa el-
Fna where the city’s famous central
square is transformed into an
open-air cinema. Festival visitors
in the past have included Martin
Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and
many others.

Morocco Marrakech
MARRAKECH
This rose-pink oasis city with its spectacular
backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains
captures the heart and the imagination of everyone
who goes here. Pulsing with the beat of the
drummers of the Djemma el Fna square, it is a city
alive with possibilities.
Making the Most of Marrakech
Marrakech is a place where only total immersion will do and
the best way to experience the soul of the city is to stay in one
of the many beautiful riads scattered throughout the medina.
These traditional Moroccan houses may look quite plain from
the outside, but inside you’ll discover a luxurious world of
courtyards, gardens, fountains and gorgeous Arabic interiors.
What to See
The beating heart of Marrakech is
the Djemma el Fna. This huge square
on the southern edge of the medina
comes alive at dusk, when the food
stalls set out their wares, snake
charmers, monkey tamers and
fire-eaters appear and troupes of
musicians and drummers keep
the crowds entertained long into
the night.
Marrakech’s most recognised
landmark is, of course, the pale pink
minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque,
topped by four gold balls. Another
important Muslim building is the
14th-century Ben Youssef Medersa.
This historic college has some fine
examples of stucco plasterwork
and is the largest Koranic school
in Morocco.
What to Do
Tour the walls and gates of the old
medieval medina in a horse-drawn
caléche, being sure to take in the
astounding sites and smells of the
Tanneries, where leather is dyed and
cured in huge open-air vats.
Escape from the noise and bustle of
the city into one of Marrakechs'
beautiful gardens. The stylish Jardin
Majorelle was owned by Yves Saint
Laurent and also houses a small
museum of Islamic art.
The Agdal Gardens comprise a
number of calm pools surrounded by
olive, orange and pomegranate trees.
Or better still, escape from the city
altogether with an excursion into
the Atlas Mountains - cool fresh air,
lush green valleys, roaring rivers
and traditional villages await.
What to Eat & Drink
Moroccan cuisine is recognised the
world over for its distinctive flavours
and signature dishes. Try a lamb or
chicken tagine, rich in fruits and
spices. Soups are thick and hearty,
and don’t miss out on the delicious
pastries for dessert. Local red wines
are excellent and finish off with
sweet mint tea.
What to Buy
The souks of Marrakech are
legendary - a huge maze of tiny
alleys where you can buy carpets,
pottery, jewellery, lamps, slippers,
herbs and spices, carved wood,
leather goods, baskets and
much more.

GETTING TO THE AIRPORT
THE DOOR-TO-DOOR PICK-UP SERVICE
Our exclusive door-to-door pick-up service
makes sure you begin and end your travels in
comfort and on time. All you need to do is pack
your bags and we do the rest. There will never be
any more than four people in any one vehicle. If
you live a long way from Heathrow or Gatwick,
we can arrange free domestic flights from your
local airport instead, as we cannot offer the pickup
service for Scotland, Eire, Northern Ireland,
Isle of Man, Isle of Wight or the Channel Islands.
Please ask our Reservations team for full details.
We recommend that you request the door-todoor
pick-up service when you book, as you will
be charged an amendment fee of £25 per person
if you decide to add or amend it later on.
THE OVERNIGHTER
If you have a long way to travel and would like
to stay overnight in an airport hotel before your
flight, we can collect you a day early and take
you there. You can book your overnight
accommodation through Superbreaks on
0871 221 2801. Your payment will be direct to
Superbreaks. Please call for details of prices.

FREE FLIGHTS FROM YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT
Fly free from your local airport to Gatwick or
Heathrow – just ask for details. If you decide to
fly into Gatwick and your flight is from Heathrow,
or vice versa, you will need to make your way
between the two at your own expense. Please
bear in mind the amount of time this and the
collection and rechecking of your luggage will
take when planning your journey. Unfortunately,
free flights cannot be used with our door-to-door
pick-up service.
AT THE AIRPORT
Egyptian Thomas Cook Tours start in an Executive
Airport Lounge. It’s also a safe place to leave your
hand luggage while you browse the shops. Your
dedicated tour manager will meet you at your
arrival airport, and be at your side throughout
your tour.
DURING YOUR TOUR
OUR LUGGAGE SERVICE
We will look after your luggage throughout your
trip – so that’s another load off your mind.
Porterage for one piece per person is free, and we
can readily arrange help with extra luggage if you
let us know when you book.
WINING AND DINING
We generally leave the choice up to you.
Sometimes, however, you’ll find meals are
provided. We’ve indicated any included meals in
the day-by-day itinerary of each tour as follows: B
= breakfast, L = lunch, T = afternoon tea and D =
dinner.

TAILORING YOUR TOUR
EXTENDING YOUR TOUR
We can make arrangements for you to extend
your trip before or after your tour. Please ask our
Reservations team for details.
ARRANGING YOUR OWN TRAVEL
You can book your own flights and arrange to
meet your group at the tour’s starting point. This
will incur a land-only supplement of £50 per
booking and you will be unable to take
advantage of our door-to-door pick-up service,
free domestic flights and the airport services we
offer.
UPGRADING YOUR TOUR
Flights: on most international flights you can
upgrade to a higher cabin class. The actual
combination of benefits available depends on
the airline.
Hotels: Several of the hotels we use on our tours
offer upgrades to higher room categories. Some
of these let you make the most of your location,
with more impressive views, while others give
you more luxury, perhaps with better facilities
and more space.
Cruises: cabin upgrades are available on all the
overnight cruises we feature.
SINGLE TRAVELLERS
If you’re travelling on your own, we always try to
accommodate your choice of sleeping
arrangements. In many cases we can negotiate
special rates for single hotel rooms. Any
applicable reduction is indicated on the price
grid for each tour.

YOUR HOLIDAY PRICE
HOLIDAY PRICES – HOW TO PRICE
YOUR HOLIDAY
Our brochure is intended to provide a quick and
easy way for you to compare typical prices
between different holiday packages. We have
shown in our price panels an accurate indication
of our basic lead in prices but we do not over
complicate our price panels with different
charges, fees or supplements, particularly when
we know these can change. We regularly review
our prices and whilst occasionally its necessary
to put prices up, more often our prices come
down so to help you calculate the best possible
price just ask your travel agent, phone us direct,
or visit our website for up to the minute prices.
Holiday prices are influenced by many factors.
The price includes current taxes (such as air
passenger duty), aircraft insurance, security, fuel
and other associated costs known at the time of
booking. Our prices are affected by changes in
these costs, along with changes in exchange
rates, suppliers costs and economic trends (see
section 'Extra charges - before booking'). The
guide prices we show are based on current
charges and costs, we reserve the right to alter
prices and introduce supplements - we'll let you
know any applicable supplements and the total
price of your holiday on enquiry. To help you to
compare our guide prices please keep the
following in mind:-
• Prices are per person based on the number of
adults sharing as given in the accommodation
description (see 'What the price includes /
What's Extra' for more details).
• The basic lead in price shown applies to
selected departures within each date range
(there may be a number of departure dates
available between the dates shown which may
carry higher prices than the lead in price).
• Prices we show for Scheduled flights are based
upon the lowest fare available. The airline will
limit the number of seats available at these
prices by flight and date of travel. If the price
shown in the brochure is not available when
you book, we will offer you the next best seat
available.
• Child prices, under occupancy supplements and
room type / board basis supplements are
shown as 'from' amounts. The lowest
supplements will apply to low season / off-peak
travel periods so supplements will be higher for
more popular travel dates.
• Our lead in prices are accurate at the time this
brochure is produced but are subject to change
and may go up or down.
• Accommodation supplements vary by the date
the accommodation is occupied so may vary
throughout your holiday.
WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
• Accommodation - Prices are shown within the
price panel for each property. For hotels, the
price applies to each of the two adults sharing
a room. Apartment, villa and studio prices are
based on the maximum number of adults
sharing the accommodation and for fewer
adults under-occupancy supplements usually
apply
• Meals - If you book full board you will be
provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner; half
board usually means breakfast and dinner
• Services of a Thomas Cook Representative or
24-hour assistance from our UK Duty Office.
• Return Flights - Price panels show a basic
holiday price with a nil flight supplement. Most
other flights carry a supplement, and this must
be added to the basic price.
• Air passenger duty (APD), UK airport taxes and
security charges - all prices include current
government APD. From 1 November 2009,
destinations will be categorised into four
geographical bands based on distance from
London. Each band will have two rates, one for
standard class of travel and one for other classes
of travel. The rates are subject to change and
are published on the HM Revenue & Customs
website - visit www.hmrc.gov.uk. Our prices
may go up or down if APD rates change after
publication of this brochure".
• Luggage Allowance – scheduled airlines usually
include a minimum of 15kgs hold luggage
allowance (excluding infants). Depending on the
Airline, additional luggage allowance may be
available at a supplement at the time of
booking. Allowances do vary between Airlines so
please check the latest information at the time
of booking. If you book a flight with a Low Cost
Carrier, if we are made aware that the airline
intends to apply a charge in advance for ‘hold’
baggage, prices will automatically include one
piece of hold baggage per passenger which must
be checked in at the airport. The minimum
allowance is 15kgs, however, please refer to the
amount stated on your ticket as allowances can
vary. Please note, that excess baggage charges
will apply if you exceed the stated amount on
your ticket. Where airlines introduce charges for
‘hold baggage’ after you have booked your
ticket, if there is time and where possible, we
will let you know before travel.
• Aviation Fuel Costs - known at the time of
booking (see Extra Charges - before booking).
• In flight meals - an in flight meal is included in
the brochure price of your holiday.
• Return Transport between your destination
airport and accommodation in resort is included.
This will be in the form of a mini bus or coach
transfer unless otherwise specified in the
accommodation description or confirmed on
your invoice.
• Charges for extra security, aircraft insurance,
aviation and other associated costs.
• ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) - the price
of your holiday includes the amount of currently
£2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection
Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA who
provides financial protection for your holiday in
the unlikely vent of our failure. The amount you
have paid will be shown on your confirmation
invoice.
AND WHAT’S EXTRA
• Holiday Insurance - you MUST be insured (see
page 74 for brief details).
• Flight supplements - where applicable
• Meal supplements - where applicable are in the
accommodation description.
• Bottled mineral water - in some All Inclusive
hotels bottled mineral water does not form part
of the ‘unlimited soft drinks service’.
•Under-occupancy supplements - for studios,
apartments and villas where applicable are
shown in the price panel.
• Optional excursions.
• Charges made by accommodation - see section
‘local charges’ below.
• Locally collected taxes.
• Accommodation Deposits - in some cases on
arrival at self catering accommodation you may
be asked for a deposit. This is refundable, less the
cost of any damage or loss.
When you register, many hotels will ask you for
an imprint of your credit card to cover any
personal extras. If you do not have a credit card,
they may ask for a large cash deposit.
• Excess baggage on coaches and aircraft -
excess baggage charges will apply if you exceed
your allowance and/or you take sports
equipment.
• Late booking fee - a charge will apply for all
bookings made within 14 days of departure. We
will make arrangements for you to collect your
tickets from our airport representative on arrival,
or in some cases may be able to post your
documentation to you, at your request. The
charge will be a minimum of £15 per person but
if special delivery is required the cost may be
more.
• Credit card charges – prices advertised in this
brochure apply to payment by cash or debit
card. A charge will apply to payment by credit
card - please ask for details.
• Possible surcharges - see ‘Surcharges - price
increases after booking’ section.
LOCAL CHARGES
At some accommodation certain amenities may
carry a local charge.
Unless we have stated that a service or facility is
‘free’ in our accommodation descriptions, you
may be asked to pay a charge. Here are a few
examples of what you might expect to pay for
locally, but always check first as there may be
others.
• Property owners may charge guests to use sun
loungers / parasols around swimming pools and
on private beaches, this is particularly common
in the south of France.
• Daily car parking charge at some
hotels/apartments.
• Entertainment and activities away from your
accommodation.
• Highchairs, cots, hotel run Children’s Clubs and
meals for infants.
• Meals and beverages from restaurants and bars
at your accommodation.
• Safety deposit facilities, room service, mini-bar,
TV/ satellite TV, telephone calls, air-conditioning
and sea views.
• Facilities and equipment such as spas,
whirlpools, indoor pools, sauna, table tennis,
billiards and darts and other sporting equipment.
CHILD REDUCTION
Child prices will be calculated to include reduced
travel prices and accommodation discounts where
applicable. Where children receive a discount,
your travel advisor will calculate the best possible
rate for you. We do not offer standardised child
discounts.
Infant/Child Definitions
and Child Price Conditions
• Definitions of a child in terms of age are
standard: an ‘infant’ is under 2 (on the date of
return) and a ‘child’ is between 2 and 11 (on the
date of travel).
• A ‘child’ must take up a seat.
• An ‘infant’ will sit on an adult’s lap for the
duration of the journey.
• A hotel’s definition of a ‘child’ can and does vary.
The child’s age on the date of departure must
not exceed the age limit described in the
property description
• Please note, unless otherwise stated that
children aged 12 years and over will have to pay
the adult price. Child prices are based on
children sharing a room with two full-fare
paying adults. Third and subsequent children pay
the adult price, unless otherwise stated in the
price panel.
• The full adult deposit must be paid for all
children except infants.
• Children DO NOT count toward apartment
occupancy levels.
• Any child ages you provide must be applicable
to the relevant date of departure. If a child is
older on the date of departure than originally
specified at the time of booking, they may no
longer qualify for a child price and you will have
to pay the full adult fare, plus any relevant
administrative fees, before the party can travel.
Please check carefully with us or your travel
agent before booking.
DISCOUNT OFFERS
Where we make discounts available on our
holiday prices, these may vary on a daily basis and
are subject to change without notice. We also
reserve the right to withdraw discounts
completely. For latest discounts consult your
travel agent.
TOUR EXTENSIONS
If you would like to add an extension to one of
our Thomas Cook Tours, we will be pleased to
arrange it for you. We will charge £25 for each
person to cover the extra work involved in
booking separate arrangements and providing
separate documents. There may also be extra
costs, including accommodation costs, air fare
supplements and transfer costs which are
available on request. Please note that extensions
are not escorted and porterage is not included.

the price panels, prices include an amount to

that these charges and costs may change

prices and introduce fuel supplements where
changes in fuel costs occur. Furthermore,
although we have included in our prices an extra
charge to cover aviation, security, aircraft
insurance and other associated costs, you should
be aware that these charges and costs may
change between the date of publication of this

prices can go up or down. Please note that
prices we show for Scheduled flights are based
upon the lowest fare available. The airlines will
limit the number of seats available at these

Please therefore check carefully the total
costing, including any additional charges, with us
or your agent before you book.

brochure. For example, the special offer package
may not include in-flight meal, airport-resort
transfers or children's club activities. The deposits
for special offer holidays will also be higher than

carefully detailed against the offer but please ask
if you are unsure. Some offers must be booked at
the time you make your reservation. Others are
subject to availability on your arrival at the hotel
but must be requested when you book the

BEFORE YOU GO
TROPICAL TRAVEL TIPS
Before you set off on your holiday you will need
to take the recommended health precautions.
Please be aware that certain destinations require
visas.
WEATHER HAZARDS
Sun: The sun should be treated with respect –
the more so the closer you get to the tropics,
and especially in the winter, when your skin’s
completely unprepared. Make sure you take
enough sun lotion with you – it can be hard to
find locally – use it, and go easy on the
sunbathing, particularly in the first few days.
Watch out for signs of burning, heat exhaustion
or sunstroke (reddening skin, sleepy, dizziness,
headaches) and make sure you drink lots of
(non-alcoholic) fluids to avoid dehydration.
Weather & Natural Disasters: Destinations
featured in this brochure may be affected by
weather patterns such as tropical storms,
monsoons, hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons,
flooding and also seismic activity causing
earthquakes and tidal waves. It is not possible for
us to publish detailed information on weather
patterns for each destination in our brochure,
and weather advice can frequently change, we
recommend you check the latest FCO Travel
Advice for your destination. Visit
www.fco.gov.uk/travel for information.
When a storm or natural disaster occurs, travel
and accommodation arrangements may be
significantly disrupted. It is extremely difficult to
predict with accuracy the actual path, duration
or effect severe weather patterns and seismic
activity may have and the effects of actual or
threatened bad weather and natural disasters are
beyond our control (please refer to our booking
conditions, section “Circumstances Beyond Our
Control" for details of our responsibility to you in
these circumstances).
If a storm or natural disaster is forecast to affect
one of our destinations, we work with local and
international authorities, our Health and Safety
68
/ resort teams and local agents to try to
minimise disruption and keep you well informed.
It may be that an evacuation of your resort, or a
delay or cancellation of your flight to or from the
resort may be necessary. In the event of changes
to your holiday due to actual or threatened bad
weather, we are not able to offer any
compensation.
Climate Information: In some of our resort
pages in our brochures, we include general
climate information. Where this is shown this is
usually based on information from the Met
Office for a major city or airport in the area, but
this can be some distance from specific cities and
resorts we feature. The information is subject to
change and you should monitor the latest local
and international weather updates issued by the
Met Office and available on their website:
www.metoffice.gov.uk.
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; www.fco.gov.uk,
www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org.uk your
General Practitioner or a specialist clinic. Please
note you are strongly advised against scuba
diving for 24 hours before travelling by air.
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
against, for example: Malaria, Hepatitis A,
Polio,Typhoid and Dengue Fever. In some cases,
treatments for Malaria should begin well in
advance of travel.
Biting insects (including mosquitoes) are
common in many countries, and they can spread
disease. Insect repellents, especially those
containing DEET, can be useful in helping to
prevent bites. You can also reduce the risk of bites
by wearing clothes that cover your skin, including
your arms and legs, especially during the evening
and at night.
If you are visiting an 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.
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 email
traveladvicepublicenquiries@fco.gov.uk or
telephone the Foreign Office Travel Advice Unit
on 0845 850 2829.
PASSENGERS TRAVELLING 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 pre-existing 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.tcsignature.com. 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
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
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, for the travel to be
undertaken, they have valid, acceptable passports,
any required visa, any other documentation and,
where asked for have submitted advanced
passenger information in advance of travel to the
tour operator/airline as appropriate. 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, or who have included incorrect
information with any visa application or advanced
passenger information submitted may be refused
carriage. Airlines and/or Border Control
Authorities have absolute discretion over refusals
of carriage, departure from or entry into any
country. We will hold the passenger entirely
responsible in the event they are not approved for
travel or where entry to a country is refused due
to any failure to satisfy the requirements of the
Airline or Border Control Authority. Where entry is
refused, fines or other financial penalty may 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.
Names: At the time of booking please ensure you
supply your first name and surname, (as they
appear on your passport) as both of these must be
stated on your flight ticket. This will reduce
confusion and delays at check-in. It is anticipated
that customers could face more queries and
delays as more countries introduce Advance
Passenger Information systems. You may not be
able to travel and insurance may be invalid if the
name on your passport and travel documents
don’t match.
If, after booking a holiday but before travelling,
any member of your party changes their name,
e.g. as a result of getting married, we must be
notified immediately so that we can make the
necessary changes to your holiday
documentation.
Travelling with children : Single parents or other
adults travelling alone with children should be
aware that some countries require documentary
evidence of parental responsibility before allowing
lone parents to enter the country or, in some
cases, before permitting the children to leave the
country. For further information on exactly what
will be required at immigration please check the
FCO website or contact the relevant Embassy of
the country you are travelling with.
Children: are required to have their own passport.
Advanced Passenger Information
Under the UK Government ‘e-Borders’ scheme,
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 which Airlines will
pass onto the e-Borders programme both prior to
your departure from a UK Aiport to an overseas
destinations, and on any journey to the UK.
Airlines 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 to your airline at least 72 hours
before you travel. Please visit our website –
www.tcsignature.com - for information on the

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.
CURRENCY & MONEY
We recommend the purchase of travellers
cheques for the bulk of your holiday money, with
a small amount of local currency for initial
sundry items. Major credit cards are also widely
accepted in all the destinations in this brochure.
In some cases local currencies may have to be
purchased after arrival or there may be
restrictions on the amount you are permitted to
buy in advance. We suggest you contact your
Travel Agent for details.
HOW TO CONTACT THE
PASSPORT SERVICE
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
YOUR ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation can, at times, have a lively
atmosphere, and facilities and entertainment
may vary according to the mix and ages of
guests in residence.
OFFICIAL RATINGS & OUR RATINGS
Ratings 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. Our
universal ratings system is based on the views
taken from Customer Satisfaction
Questionnaires and of senior managers in both
the UK and overseas (at the time of publication).
TOUR ITINERARY
All our tours are, by their very nature, complex
and include services from many different airlines,
hotels and ground transportation companies.
Due to the demand for these services, it is not
always possible to guarantee particular airlines,
flights, aircraft, ferries, trains and/or the hotels
featured on a particular itinerary or departure
date. It is with this in mind that we reserve the
right to change any of the listed services and, if
necessary, even modify the itinerary itself
without prior notice. Where any alteration
significantly changes your tour itinerary or tour
dates, we will always make every effort to give
as much advance notification as possible.
Changes to tours may also be necessary once
the tour has commenced, changes may include
the sequence of visits being altered according to
local conditions.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ACCOMMODATION & ROOM TYPES
When we mention room types in our brochure,
in most cases you can expect to receive a room
similar to that described below. Please note
however that whilst room categories in different
hotels may have the same or similar names, the
criteria for their classification is likely to differ, as
these are the names the hotels use and they do
not have standard definitions. We do not always
sell all room types at all hotels. When you make
a booking we will pass on the details of the
room type you have selected to the hotelier, but
it may not always be possible for them to
provide a room type/configuration exactly as
booked. The following sections provide some
additional information on accommodation and
room types.
HOTELS AND HOTEL ROOMS
The term ‘hotel’ is used to describe various types
of accommodation and does not necessarily
distinguish between local classifications such as
‘aparthotel’, ‘holiday village’, ‘holiday complex’.
Hotel/Motel chains: sometimes hotels change
the name of the chain through which they are
marketed (e.g. Howard Johnson). If such a
change occurs at your hotel you will only be
advised if we believe it involves a significant
change in facilities or standards.
ROOM INFORMATION
• Twin and Double Rooms - a ‘Twin’ is a room
with two single beds and a ‘Double’ is a room
with a double bed. A double bed may be two
single beds with double bedding.
• Single Rooms - a ‘Single’ or ‘Twin for sole use’
is a room with one or two single beds.
• Rooms sleeping up to 4 people - some hotels
have rooms that sleep up to 4 people. Room
layout may consist of up to 4 separate beds or
a combination of double, twin, camp beds, sofa
beds or rollaway beds. In some hotels 3rd and
4th beds may be only suitable for a child, but in
other hotels there may be a reduction available
if 4 adults share the room (see price panel for
details).
Rooms for up to 4 persons may not be any larger
than standard twin or double rooms so space is
likely to limited and the room may be cramped.
Where rooms do accept extra beds, some hotels
may require an additional local charge to be paid
which can vary by destination, please ask for
details when you book. In most cases extra beds
for children are only suitable for children aged 12
and under. Though we will do our best to help,
please note that we cannot guarantee the room
configuration or type of beds that you will be
provided with.
• Suites/Junior Suites/Villas: A Suite and Junior
Suite usually contain a lounge/living area. A
Suite is likely to contain a separate sleeping
area whereas a Junior Suite the sleeping area
may not be completely separate. Room
layouts can vary by destination. Our
descriptions of Suites/Junior Suites and Villas
usually state the number of persons who can
occupy the room type (e.g. 2-4 persons). If
there are less than the maximum number of
persons in your own party, the room type may
contain less than the maximum number of
beds. Children paying less than the full cost do
not count towards occupancy of the
suites/junior suites or villas.
• 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 plants or buildings blocking the
view.
SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS
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.
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 contracted to us by the
hotel, we do not mark up these supplements.
MEAL SERVICE
Providing meals from a self-service buffet is
popular in hotels. We include the most up-todate
information we have about meal service in
our accommodation descriptions, but
occasionally arrangements will change. Breakfast
will be of the ‘continental’ type unless stated
otherwise. In certain properties, extended or
‘English’ type breakfasts are available and may
be at an extra charge. Many properties are not
necessarily used to catering for special diets and
therefore if you have particular or specific
requirements, you may find that the choice is
limited. As a matter of courtesy to fellow guests,
property owners may require diners to wear long
trousers whilst dining in their restaurants. If this
is a concern then please telephone to check for
your individual property’s details. Wherever more
than one restaurant is advertised, meals for bed &
breakfast, half board, full board and All-Inclusive
guests will be taken at the main restaurant
(usually buffet-style), unless otherwise stated.
Where meals can be taken at alternative
restaurants, a reservation is usually required.
Hotels may apply child age restrictions for a la
carte restaurants.
HOW MANY NIGHTS ARE SPENT IN
YOUR ACCOMMODATION?
Your accommodation is usually reserved for you
from 1200 noon (from 4pm in some areas) on
the day of your departure from the UK. However,
at some larger hotels, delays may occur with
check-in whilst your room is prepared for you. For
night flights departing between 0001 and 0400
hours, the day of departure is deemed to be the
previous day. 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 this is classed as the first
night of your holiday. Rooms are normally
vacated at the internationally recognised time of
12 noon on the last day of the holiday. However,
there are some areas where a 10am vacating
time is operated. On 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.
Sometimes hotels will let you keep your room
but they are entitled to make a charge. This is not
normally possible with apartments. If you are on
Half Board, Full Board or All Inclusive it is possible
that you may lose a meal owing to your own
particular flight times.
AIR CONDITIONING
Some properties have individual air conditioners
located in either the bedroom or the living area,
allowing you to adjust the atmosphere to your
own liking. 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. It may
be that only cool air is provided, not necessarily
warm air as well. There may be a local charge for
air conditioning in some rooms.
ACCOMMODATION MAINTENANCE
Certain accommodation featured in this brochure
is operational all year round. From time to time it
will be necessary for certain facilities to be
withdrawn for general maintenance purposes.
Water and electricity supplies may be interrupted
whilst this essential maintenance is undertaken.
OTHER GUESTS
We do not have exclusive use of all properties
featured in this brochure. It is possible, therefore,
that there may be guests from other countries
and of mixed age groups at your accommodation.
Many hotels we feature do operate corporate
conference facilities and there may be occasions
where business meetings are taking place during
your stay.
TV CHANNELS
As many hotels we feature have satellite TV
shown in rooms, we recommend that you use the
same care and supervision with children watching
TV, as you would at home. Some channels may
be of an adult nature. There may also be limited
numbers of English-speaking channels.
INFANTS
See also ‘Carriage of infants’ under ‘Flights’.
Please note that in each accommodation
description we state the maximum number of
occupants a room or apartment 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/apartment 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/apartments required to accommodate the
booking.
There may be a charge locally for infants for use
of services or facilities in the accommodation.
Holiday
Information
HOTEL-RUN KIDS CLUBS
Standards and facilities at kids club's featured in
this brochure may vary. We are unable to accept
responsibility for or give any guarantee for the
standard of the facilities and qualifications of
personnel at hotel run clubs. Kids club(s) 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.
ALL INCLUSIVE HOLIDAYS
To help you choose your All Inclusive holiday we
have highlighted what activities and facilities are
usually included with each accommodation. This
is based on information we have received from the
hotel management, often dictated by the
properties current seasons All Inclusive package.
Please allow for some facilities or activities to be
altered or substituted when you travel though, as
hotels do regularly review and update what they
offer as All Inclusive.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR ALL INCLUSIVE
All Inclusive holidays offer every opportunity for
relaxing, taking part in sports and games and
generally enjoying yourself. However, as with
everything in life there are some simple rules,
which will help you in achieving this aim.
• Identification - When you arrive at your hotel
you are likely to be provided with some form of
identification (it may be a card, necklace, bracelet
etc), which will have to be shown when ordering
drinks, meals and other included facilities. Ensure
you take care of this, as a penalty charge is likely
to be imposed if lost.
• Behaviour - both ourselves and each of the All
Inclusive hotels reserve the right to withdraw the
identification facility of any guest(s) whose
behaviour, or whose child/children’s behaviour is
such that it is, in the opinion of the management,
detrimental to the enjoyment of the other
guests.
• Alcohol - Having drinks freely available
throughout the day can be a temptation to overindulge.
Please therefore consider your fellow
guests (and your own health!) while bearing in
mind that hotel management’s have every right
to refuse service to guests they believe to be
intoxicated or under age (in accordance with
local law).
• Bottled mineral water - in some All Inclusive
hotels bottled mineral water does not form part
of the ‘unlimited soft drinks service’.
• Locally sourced drinks / snacks - The included
facilities and services are clearly stated in the ‘All
Inclusive / Features/Option’ section. Drinks
included are generally only locally produced
brands; cocktails, international and premium
brands and fruit juices are not available unless
stated. Whilst we endeavour to provide locally
produced bottled mineral water as part of the
‘unlimited soft drinks service’ at our All Inclusive
properties, this service cannot be guaranteed.
The type and variety of snacks served (between
meal times) will vary between hotels and resorts,
and may be of a more traditional / local variety.
• What’s Not Included - any additional facilities or
services available may incur a charge.
Consequently, not all bars/restaurants are
available free of charge.
• Coming home - most hotels remove access to
All Inclusive facilities, including food and drink at
the time of checkout, which is generally 12 noon
on the day of departure.
ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS
FACILITIES AT YOUR ACCOMMODATION
These differ from hotel to hotel, so please read the
descriptions carefully.
A charge may be made locally for entertainment
and the use of some hotel facilities where these
are not included in an all inclusive/full board plus
package.
Not all hotels provide entertainment, and the
quality at those that do will vary.
Outdoor sports and facilities are subject to
weather conditions permitting (e.g. watersports,
outdoor bars etc).
All sports and leisure activities are naturally
subject to availability. The hotel may have a
system restricting the number of times and hours
69

Holiday
Information
of use of certain facilities to ensure all customers
can enjoy them. Whenever we are aware of this it
is clearly stated. You may be required to pay a
deposit for some sports or leisure facilities, which
will be refunded upon the return of the
undamaged equipment. Some hotels may have
additional conditions before refunding the
deposit (e.g. not to exceed the time limit of
usage). If applicable, guests will be informed on
arrival.
For safety reasons guests could be denied the use
of sporting equipment if the hotel’s sporting
instructor feels they are not competent. In most
cases relevant instruction is available but may
incur a cost.
Age and height restrictions may be applied by the
hotel for certain activities and facilities. These are
applied locally for the wellbeing of all customers
and full details will be supplied when you arrive
at your accommodation. For safety reasons some
sports are not available to younger children or
children without adult supervision
WATERSPORTS & SPORTING ACTIVITIES
We refer to a number of watersports and other
sporting activities within the brochure, most of
these are neither owned or operated by Thomas
Cook and we cannot guarantee that they are
maintained or operated with the customer's
safety in mind. We would ask that you take all
reasonable precautions to protect yourself and
your party whilst on holiday and would
recommend that you only use companies who
demonstrate good safety practices.
You should ensure watersports and other similar
sporting activities you wish to take part in are
covered by your own holiday insurance. Some
activities/watersports may be considered to be
hazardous pursuits by some insurance companies.
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.
70
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.
YOUR RESORT
OUR SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE ABROAD
Please note that we do not have our own
representatives in all of our destinations, so you
may not be met on arrival. For holidays which
include the services of our Representatives they
make regular visits to our hotels and apartments.
Our Representatives 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 you do not have the services of our
Representative, depending on the arrangements
you book with us, our locally appointed agent,
tour manager or our suppliers (such as
accommodation or transport providers) will be
contactable and you will be provided appropriate
contact details for them before you go.
You can also rest assured in the knowledge that
whatever arrangements you book, our 24 hour UK
Duty Office staff are quickly and easily
contactable if you need any help, advice or
assistance whilst abroad.
If you have a complaint we will need to know
about it and our local Agent, Tour Manager,
Supplier 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 Agent, Tour
Manager, Supplier or our UK Duty Office is unable
to solve a particular problem immediately. While
appreciating that this may be upsetting for you,
Thomas Cook Signature does expect you to
behave in a reasonable manner. Consequently,
should any customer act in a threatening or
intimidatory manner towards Thomas Cook
Signature staff or appointed agents, we shall have
no hesitation in taking appropriate legal action.
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 and end of season.
If you would like to visit particular attractions, we
recommend that you check their availability in
resort as they may have to close at short notice
because of the weather or for routine
maintenance.
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.
ELECTRICITY
Depending on your luck and location, there may
be blackouts. Tolerance and patience are the
recommended response.
LOCAL INFORMATION
Please note that areas surrounding your holiday
accommodation do not form part of your package
holiday and have not been inspected. These
include for example the sea, beaches, roads and
mountains. You are responsible for taking
reasonable care for your own safety and the safety
of your party.
Local events, religious festivities and public
holidays are likely to influence the provision of
services and facilities within the hotels and around
holiday resorts at certain times.
In Muslim countries, dates of religious feasts and
festivals are fixed by local sightings of the moon
so we cannot work out when they will be
beforehand.
Ramadan, which is observed for one month each
year, is a period of fasting when the pace of life is
slower, public areas are busier and there are
certain restrictions. For example, consuming food
in public, drinking alcohol and use of restaurants’.
Ramadan is expected to run for a month from
01 August 2011. Also the Muslim New Year is
different to the Christian one and during this
period many shops and restaurants may be closed.
Check out the FCO travel advice on
www.fco.gov.uk for more information on specific
countries and the possible impact of holidays and
events. You will also find information on the
website of the relevant British Embassy.
SMOKING
Restrictive legislation 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
restrictions. To find out more visit the FCO website
www.fco.gov.uk
CONDITIONS IN HOLIDAY RESORTS
If there is a specific problem affecting your
accommodation, you should report this to the
accommodation staff, and if necessary to our
appointed representative/local agent, who will do
their best to help sort things out. Insects – ants,
mosquitoes and cockroaches for example – are
common in hot countries. They are usually
harmless, and they do not mean your
accommodation is dirty or unhygienic, but
obviously the sight of such creatures can be offputting
if you are not used to seeing them. If your
hotel has an open restaurant, it may attract local
birds, some of which might try to share your food
though hotels do their best to discourage them.
Though frustrating, this is a normal part of local
life, and please don’t encourage birds by feeding
them. Please also refrain from feeding any other
wildlife.
Noise - Some resorts are within built-up areas or
other places where noise is common. Noise may
be audible from road traffic or aircraft (if you are
near a flight path). Noise is also often caused by
birds and local wildlife, and by local activity such
as speedboats, calls to prayer and customs (for
example, festivals and religious celebrations), and
is often part of the travel experience.
DRIVING
Laws, licensing requirements and age limits vary
throughout the world. We recommend you check
with your travel agent, or the relevant embassy or
consulate.
NILE CRUISES – IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
Due to the number of cruise boats on the Nile,
two or more boats may be moored side by side
and you may need to walk through other boats to
reach the bank. Extra care should be taken when
crossing gangplanks as certain areas may be
uneven. Nile cruise boats are on several levels and
are therefore unsuitable for anyone with walking
difficulties.For sightseeing it advisable to take
plenty of bottled water and sensible footwear as
the ground can be uneven at many sites, a torch
for darker tombs and binoculars will also be useful.
At some sites there may be charge for
photography or the use of a video camera while
flash photography is often prohibited altogether to
protect the monuments.
Occasionally there may be changes made to your
itinerary and excursions depending on local
conditions such as the level of the Nile or cruise
boat traffic. It may sometimes be necessary to
substitute your chosen cruise ship with one of a
similar standard of facilities. Please ring our
Aftersales department 0870 010 4595 for more
information. Tipping (baksheesh) is an accepted
custom in Egypt and while not compulsory, you
will be asked to tip for almost every service and
the cost can mount up. Expect to budget approx.
£40 per person for tipping on a 7 night cruise.
Tips onboard your cruise boat can be left at the
end of the cruise. Where prices are based on
lower deck cabins this means the bottom deck
of the boat, which is always above the water line.
All decks above the bottom deck (including
reception level) are classed as upper decks.

YOUR FLIGHT
CHARTER & SCHEDULED FLIGHTS
Charter flights are regular but generally not daily
flights and are organised by tour operators,
whereas Scheduled flights are based on predetermined
schedules set by airlines. Charter
flights usually operate directly from the
departure location to the destination without
any intermediate stops so can be the quickest
and cheapest way to reach your destination,
usually these flights don't operate on a
previously fixed schedule. A scheduled flight may
have intermediate stops or require connecting
flights and some scheduled airlines work in
partnership with other airlines to give more
choice and better onward connections.
Whilst the flight information included in
brochures is as accurate as possible at the time
the brochure is printed, tour operators and
airlines do regularly review flight arrangements
to ensure flights serve customers in the best
possible way. This occasionally does cause
disruption and changes to flight times - where
significant, these changes will be advised to you
before you travel.
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 (60
minutes for some destinations). Passengers that
are refused travel will be responsible for
arranging alternative transportation at their own
expense.
Thomas Cook Airlines and most other carriers
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.
Sporting Equipment: Most airlines can accept
most types of sports equipment - charges apply.
All such items will travel on a weight and spacepermitting
basis only. You should also have
insurance for these items.
Carriage of Golf Clubs/Scuba Diving
Equipment – Most airlines charge for the
carriage of golf clubs and scuba diving
equipment and carriage of this equipment is not
included as part of your baggage allowance.
Charges 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 golf clubs
or scuba diving 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 scuba diving equipment is
not pre-booked with the airlines, excess baggage
charges will be charged if the stated baggage
allowance is exceeded. Golf clubs and scuba
diving equipment must 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.
Golf Only - We advise that many courses require
official proof of handicap. Car hire: we strongly
advise golfers to pre-book car hire as where
applicable carriage of golf clubs 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. If you
are flying with Thomas Cook Airlines, this should
not be over 5kg in weight or bigger than 43 x 28
x 23 cm in size. Please bear in mind that Charter
airlines have greater restrictions on size of hand
baggage than Scheduled airlines – please ask
your travel agent for specific information on the
airline you are flying with. 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. For full details of
items permitted on board, please check with the
airline you are flying with.
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
up to 30kg. Individual items of luggage must not
exceed 30kg for lifting purposes.
Medical Equipment: If you are carrying
medical/mobility equipment, you must ensure
that you have adequate insurance to cover the
items for possible loss or damage.
Valuables: Please remember to pack any
valuables including money, credit cards, jewellery,
keys and camera equipment in your hand luggage
and not in your suitcase.
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 in-flight 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
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Customers with special needs who require advice or
assistance should contact our dedicated team on
0800 107 3409. Direct text phone number 0800 107 3408.
Holiday
Information
(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 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.
FLIGHT SUPPLEMENTS
These are based on a variety of factors. For
Charter flights, these are influenced by departure
point, time and/or date of departure and/or
services onboard. We reserve the right to change
flight supplements from time to time.
It is not possible to show the supplements and
fares for all Scheduled Flights due the range of
flight options available. We can usually offer you
a choice of airlines and a choice of seat classes
or upgrade options on each airline – your travel
agent will be able to confirm the current prices.
Please note that prices we show for Scheduled
flights are based upon the lowest fare available.
The airlines will limit the number of seats
available at these prices by flight and date of
travel. If the price shown in the brochure is not
available when you book, we will offer you the
next best seat price.
For up to date supplements for your chosen
flight, please check with your travel agent before
you book. Please note that Premium seat
supplements are in addition to other flight
supplements.
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.
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.

Booking
Conditions
Please read the following booking conditions carefully as
they set out the terms and conditions of the contract
between you and Thomas Cook Scheduled Tour Operations
Limited (“we”, “us” and “our”). 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.
Our obligations to you will vary depending upon whether or
not what you book with us is a package holiday (“Package”)
as defined by the Package Travel, Package Holidays and
Package Tours Regulations 1992. Section A below details the
booking conditions which apply particularly to such a
booking. Where you book only a ‘Flight’ or a ‘Hotel’ the
terms which particularly apply to such a booking are
detailed in Section B under the heading “Single
Components”. There are certain terms which apply to any
type of booking and these are detailed in Section C.
A. PACKAGE HOLIDAY
The information in our brochure and on our website, along
with the terms set out below and the terms set out in
section C, apply when you book a Package.
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. Our CAA ATOL number is 0606 [and our ABTA
membership number 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.
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. You
must cancel 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 you travel, if there is time. Changes we will tell you
about include:
- Change of your UK departure airport (although a change
between London airports including Gatwick, Heathrow,
Stansted, Luton will not usually be considered significant).
- Significant change of your destination
- A change of more than 12 hours to the time you leave the
UK or your destination
- If we downgrade your accommodation by one full Tour
Operator rating
If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we
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. If you have not
accepted the change but have accepted an alternative
holiday, the compensation we will pay you will be nominal
and will be to compensate you for the inconvenience of
having to make alternative arrangements but otherwise we
will have no liability to pay you compensation. If you have
accepted the change, again, the compensation will be
nominal unless, upon your return, you can justify to us that
you suffered an actual loss as a result of the change we
made to your holiday. If you have not accepted the change
and have accepted a refund of your holiday cost, the
compensation will be a nominal sum designed to
compensate you for your inconvenience of arranging for the
refund and making any alternative arrangements you
subsequently make but otherwise we will have no liability to
pay you compensation.
72
A4. Minor Changes By Us Before Travel
Any change which we do not consider significant, is a minor
change. We will endeavour to tell you about a minor change
before you travel but we are not obliged to do so and we
will not pay compensation. The flights we offer are operated
by a range of scheduled or charter airlines, using wide or
narrow body jet aircraft. It may not be possible at the time
of booking to specify the airline or type of aircraft. 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. We
are required to inform you of the identity of the airline
operating your flight. Any changes to the operating airline
will be notified to you in all cases at check in or at the
boarding gate. We reserve the right to change airlines or
aircraft types at any time and changes of this type will not
constitute a significant change.
A5. Cancellation By Us
We can cancel your Package and any other Package 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' below) 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.
A6. Circumstances Beyond Our Control
Except where we say differently elsewhere in these
conditions, we will not pay any compensation, reimburse
expenses, or cover losses for any amount or otherwise
accept responsibility if 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, as a result of circumstances
beyond our control. 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).
A7. Changes Made After Travel
If, after your departure, a significant part of your pre-booked
Package arrangements cannot be provided, you will be
offered a suitable alternative if possible. If appropriate, we
will also pay you compensation in accordance with the table
in the section entitled ‘Changes Made By Us Before Travel’
unless the reason for the change is due to circumstances
beyond our control (see section entitled ‘Circumstances
Beyond Our Control’). If it is not possible to offer you a
suitable alternative or, for good reasons, you do not accept
the alternative arrangements, you will have the right to
cancel your booking. In this event, you will have the right to
be returned by the same means of transport to your original
departure point at no extra cost provided that transport is
available. This does not impose an obligation on us to make
specific transport arrangements for you if none are available.
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 Civil Aviation Authority) 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 (iv)
below, should any part of your Package not be as described
in this Guide or elsewhere by us before you leave the U.K. If
we have liability, we will, subject to clause C9 and clause
C12 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) For claims which involve death or personal injury as a
result of an activity forming part of your Package (excluding
Resort Booked Excursions - see section C5 ‘Excursions’), we
have liability subject to paragraph (i) above and (iv) below. If
we accept liability, we will, subject to paragraphs (v) and (vi)
and clause C9 below, pay you reasonable compensation.
(iv) We accept liability in accordance with paragraphs (i), (ii)
and (iii) above and subject to paragraphs (v) and (vi) and
clause C9 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, and is either attributable to you, or
attributable to someone unconnected with the Package and
is unforeseeable or unavoidable, or 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 an event which neither
we, nor our servants, agents or suppliers could have foreseen
or forestalled.
(v) 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
“Complaints”. (vi) Should you become ill while on your
Package, you must, in addition to reporting your illness to
your accommodation provider, 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.
(vii) If you or any member of your party suffers illness, injury
or death, through misadventure, as a result of any activity
which does not form part of your contracted Package
arrangements, we will provide you with all reasonable
assistance. This assistance may include our making a
contribution towards your initial legal costs in taking action
against the person(s) responsible providing you request this
within 90 days of the incident in question. All assistance
(financial or otherwise) is subject to our reasonable
discretion and a maximum total cost to ourselves of £5,000
per booking form. 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.
(viii) 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. 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. 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.
B. SINGLE COMPONENTS
The terms set out below, together with the terms set out in
section C, apply when you book individual travel
components such as only a ‘Flight’ or only a ‘Hotel’. They
apply whether you book one component or more than one
component. Booking more than one component does not
create a Package.
B1. Price Changes
Price increases may occur any time prior to departure, you
will be liable to pay any such increases in full. If, before you
book, we know of circumstances that may cause an increase
in the price of your booking after you have paid, we will
endeavour to provide details to you.
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 as stated in section C.
B3. 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, in the unlikely event of our collapse/insolvency,
any money you have paid is not protected by a scheme of
financial protection. If this is important to you, we
recommend you book a Package with us or obtain suitable
travel insurance.
C. ALL BOOKINGS
Before you book please visit our website or discuss your choice
of destination, accommodation and transport with our
reservations staff or your travel agent, to make sure it will be
suitable for you and the people you will be traveling with.
Some travel and accommodation arrangements are only
available on a request basis - where this is the case you will be
advised at the time you make your enquiry and details of the
arrangements on request will be shown on any documentation
we issue. Any arrangements that we advise you are on request
are not confirmed or guaranteed and are subject to change
until we receive confirmation from our supplier.
C1. Your Holiday Booking
The person who signs the booking form or completes the
booking online or by telephone is the 'lead name'. He or she
must be over 18 years of age and 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 traveling 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).
If you are making the booking on behalf of a minor, under the
age of 18, who is not traveling with a person 18 or over, we will
only allow the minor to travel on the following terms: The
parent/legal guardian must be present when the booking is
made; the booking is subject to the minor satisfying our
suppliers conditions of travel (minimum age restrictions do
apply and vary by airline); The parent/guardian will be required,
as deemed appropriate by us, to; (a) sign a booking form, (b)
complete a letter of authorisation/consent for the minor to
travel, (c) provide a photocopy of the photo page in the
parent/guardian and minors passport, (d) pay any applicable
charges/costs applied by the airline. For all bookings as
described in Section A and/or Section B above, a contract will
exist between you and us when we issue a confirmation
invoice/receipt/e-mail.
C2. Payment terms
If your booking is made more than 10 weeks before the
intended departure date, you must pay either: -
(i) the full fare (depending on the carrier's conditions for the
travel arrangements in question), or
(ii) a deposit as required by us and/or the supplier of the
services for the arrangements in question, the amount of
which will be advised at the time of booking. 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 within 10 weeks before the
departure date. If your booking is made within 10 weeks of
your intended departure date, the total cost of your travel
arrangements must be paid at the time of booking.
PLEASE NOTE FAILURE TO PAY ON TIME WILL RESULT IN
CANCELLATION.
If you are purchasing a travel insurance policy through us, the
premium for this will also be payable at time of booking.
C3. 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 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
C4. Insurance
You must take out adequate travel insurance suitable for your
needs before you travel. We cannot be responsible for any
costs you incur as a result of you failing to do so. For your own
peace of mind the insurance should cover you if you have to
cancel your arrangements, or for any emergencies that arise
while you are away. We recommend the insurance we offer as
it provides cover, which meets most people's needs. Please
check your policy when you receive it and take it with you on
your travels.
C5. Excursions
Excursions include, but are not restricted to, any sightseeing
trips, gigs, events or other tours attended in resort for which
additional payment is required. Excursions can either be
booked and/or paid for in resort ("Resort Booked
Excursions") or pre-booked and paid for when you book your
Holiday ("Pre-booked Excursions"). All excursions are supplied
by third party suppliers and are subject to the clause C8. We
accept, subject to clauses A9 and C8 entitled "Suppliers'
Conditions" and "Our Liability to You" below, responsibility for
Pre-booked Excursions. However, Resort 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 a Resort Booked
Excursion. We, our servants, employees or agents are acting,
depending upon the actual Resort Booked Excursion, either as
agents for the relevant Resort Booked Excursion supplier or as
agent for you. In any event the contract for any Resort Booked
Excursion is between you and the Resort Booked Excursion
provider. It is your responsibility to note carefully any
conditions of contract contained in any Resort Booked
Excursion, literature, ticket or receipt you are given. For Resort
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.

C6. 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 the transport
providers terms and conditions. Please note that typically changes to scheduled flight tickets, ferry and Eurostar
tickets are very restrictive. Where we can make a change, we will charge for any additional services, facilities, or other
items changed, at the price which applies on the day the change is made. In addition, we will also apply charges for
each person on the booking and for each item you want to change as shown in the table below. Any booking discount
you may have received at the time the original booking was made, may be altered or reduced whenever changes are
made. If you have paid supplements for accommodation and the number of people in your accommodation changes,
you may have to pay extra and may lose any free or reduced infant and child places or any free group places. And
remember any change to your departure date, airport, transport, destination, accommodation, or length of holiday
has to apply to all members of your booking.
Note: the transport provider may impose additional charges of up to 100% of the ticket cost, such as when tickets
have been issued; any such charges will be in addition to the amendment fees listed above - see the Exception in the
section "Cancellation By You" below.
The costs shown are per change per person
Notice given more than 70 days Notice given 70 days or less
Transport £50 a change Cancellation charges - see ‘Cancellation
(e.g. Air/Sea/Road/Rail) by You’
Date of Travel (see Note 1) Cancellation charges - see ‘Cancellation Cancellation charges - see ‘Cancellation
by You’ by You’
Destination Airport £50 a change Cancellation changes - see ‘Cancellation
by You’
Name Change (see Note 2) £50 per name change £50 per name change
Accommodation £50 a change £50 a change
Optional Extras (see Note 3) The greater of £50 Cancellation charges - see ‘Cancellation
or Loss of Deposit by You’
Note 1: In all cases a change to the outbound travel date, once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation and
rebooking, not an alteration to the booking
Note 2: 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. Some suppliers, particularly airlines, may consider a name or other change to an
existing booking, as a cancellation and rebooking, with up to 100% cancellation charges. If the services booked are
dependent on a minimum number of people using the service, we will have to recalculate the total cost if the number
of passengers travelling has altered. The cost may therefore increase but as this is not a cancellation charge, it may not
be covered by your insurance.
Note 3: When we refer to 'Optional Extras', we mean anything you choose to add to your booking that is additional
to the inclusive transport and accommodation arrangements you book. For example, car hire, weddings or park
tickets. If you cancel any Optional Extras for which there is a cost, we will apply the charges above. 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.
C7. Cancellation By You
The lead name on the booking must give notice to cancel in writing either to their travel agent or to the
correspondence address as stated on the invoice and the charges shown below apply from the date we receive the
notice at our offices or the travel agent activates the cancellation. In order to cover our expected losses from the
cancellation of the booking there is a set scale of charges which must be paid by you if you or anyone traveling with
you cancels. Note: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except in circumstances where a booking includes
items or services where our suppliers own cancellation charges exceed those shown above, as explained in the
‘Exception’ described below. In these circumstances any additional cancellation charges will be advised at the time of
booking. Please ensure you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking us before proceeding to book
your arrangements
Also note the ‘Exception’ described below which may apply in addition to the scale of charges.
Time we receive your notice Cancellation charge Cancellation charge
to cancel before departure (Package Holidays) (Accommodation Only)
More than 70 days Loss of deposit Loss of deposit
70-57 days 30% cost of holiday 30% of accommodation cost
(or loss of deposit if greater) (or loss of deposit if greater)
56-29 days 50% cost of holiday 60% of accommodation cost
(or loss of deposit if greater)
28-15 days 70% cost of holiday 80% of accommodation cost
(or loss of deposit if greater)
14-8 days 100% cost of holiday 80% of accommodation cost
(or loss of deposit if greater)
7-0 days 100% cost of holiday 100% cost of holiday
Other Travel Arrangements:- (apart from accommodation only) If you need to cancel you must contact us.
Cancellation charges vary depending on the services booked and will be higher the later you cancel and will be clearly
stated at the time of booking. In all cases a minimum cancellation fee of £50 will apply regardless of the value of the
service cancelled.
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.
‘Exception’: Cancellation of certain transport arrangements, typically Scheduled airline, Ferry and Eurostar tickets can
result in up to 100% cancellation charges regardless of the notice period given to us. We reserve the right to pass on
these charges where they exceed our charges shown in the table above. Similarly, 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 transport element of your booking and you
must also pay the charge listed in the section "Changes You Make Before You Travel" above. 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.
C8. 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 they are often subject to international conventions. Where relevant, copies of such conditions may be
available for inspection at the office of the relevant supplier.
C9. 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 of 1955 and by any of the additional Montreal
Protocol of 1975 or the Montreal Convention 1999); 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; in respect
of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973; and, in respect of hotels, the Paris Convention 1962. 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.
C10. 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. 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.
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
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
We aim to provide the best holiday possible. However, if you
are not satisfied please complain as soon as possible to the
relevant person (for example, the accommodation
management or transport supplier). If they cannot help, you
must tell your holiday Representative or our Local Agent and
we will do everything reasonably possible to sort the
problem out. If you are still not satisfied, ask your holiday
Representative or our Local Agent for a Customer Relations
Report Form. If you do not have the services of a
Representative or our Local Agent, or they are not available,
you must contact our UK Duty Office (on the number
shown on your travel documentation) straight away. When
you get back home, send a letter (and where possible,
enclose your completed Customer Relations Report Form),
to our offices in the UK, within 28 days of returning home. If
you have special needs that prevent you from writing to us
then, where possible, we will accept details of your
complaint over the telephone. For complaints arising from
Scheduled airlines, we will act as a liaison between you and
the airline, to try to assist in resolving the problem. If we
cannot help and you wish to take matters further, you must
contact the airline directly.
The address to send your completed form and covering
letter to is:
Customer Relations Department, Thomas Cook, 2/4 Godwin
Street, Bradford, BD1 2ST
Register your complaint online:
www.thomascook.com/customer-relations
We would point out that failure to follow the above
procedures during your holiday, 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
during your holiday, 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 to properly
investigate a complaint if we are not told about it
reasonably quickly once the holiday 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 holiday, 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 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 a
person, or to claims mainly about illness or injury. To take
advantage of the scheme you must contact the IDRS Ltd
within 12 months of returning from your Holiday.
C14. Travel Documents And Health Advice
It is your responsibility to have valid travel documents. If we
or your carrier are fined as a result of you holding incorrect
documents, you will have to pay us the full amount. For up
to date UK Government health & travel advice please visit
www.fco.gov.uk, www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org and
contact your GP. See our Holiday Information pages and
website for further information.
C15. Information Accuracy
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 and services we
provide are based on information obtained from our
Booking
Conditions
suppliers. Sometimes the facilities described 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 or facilities, water-sports for example, may not be
available all year round. There may be a charge for some
facilities, for example, TVs, safety deposit boxes, sun-loungers,
parasols, tennis courts, pool tables and air-conditioning. 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.
C16. Data Protection
By making a booking with us, you agree we may use and
disclose the information you provide for the following purposes:
to enable us to process your booking (which will include passing
your information to third party suppliers, such as hoteliers and
airlines, and may involve sending your information to countries
that do not have an equal level of privacy legislation to that in
the UK); for market research and analysis purposes; for
improving customer service; for the detection and prevention of
fraud or other crime (which may include providing your
information to organisations such as Banks and credit card
companies); for compliance with legal requirements (which will
include passing your information to public authorities such as
customs and immigration) and for marketing contact by means
of post or telephone to provide you with offers, products and
services from companies within the Thomas Cook group and
carefully selected third parties. If you purchase travel insurance
from us, we will need to pass your personal data (including
sensitive personal data and personal/sensitive data relating to
other members of your travelling party) to the insurance
company. Telephone calls to/from ourselves may be recorded
for training and quality purposes and for preventing/detecting
crime. If you have booked with us via our web site, or if you
have chosen for us to contact you by e-mail, we will
communicate with you using the e-mail address you have
provided to supply you with your travel documentation. We are
entitled to assume that the e-mail address you have provided is
correct and that you understand and accept the risks associated
with using this form of communication. Please note that you
may still need to contact us by post or via our call centre as

C17. 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 traveling 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 responsible 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 traveling 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
traveling 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.
