Dear Travelers, 

I am thrilled to announce 

that the Grueninger Travel Group 

is celebrating its 70 th anniversary this year! 

It has been an incredible journey, and we could not have done it without 

you. We are grateful for your loyalty and trust in us. 

As many are aware, our company was founded by two passionate travelers 

– Othmar and Libby Grueninger, my mom and dad, who met on our 

inagural tour in June 1954. What started as a vision to share the world 

with their Hoosier community has evolved into an enduring platform that 

inspires all of us to explore the world, engage with, and learn from people 

from every corner of the globe. 

The connection with individuals extends to our interactions with our 

guests. My parents thoroughly enjoyed going on trips with you and being 

intricately involved in the planning of every detail to ensure that the trip

would come to life, just as they planned right from the start. The final tour 

led by Othmar and Libby was a cruise from Venice to Istanbul in 2015, 

however, that wasn’t their final trip as they seized every opportunity to travel 

as guests right alongside you. I share the same enthusiasm. My wife and I are 

excited to be hosting a Portugal River Cruise this spring. Seven decades later, 

maintaining connections with our clientele remains an essential part of who 

we are. This industry and our business are a calling that we cherish every day. 

At Ambassadair, we can help you 

discover new horizons and forge 

meaningful connections in a whole 

new way. Let us manage all the 

logistics, ensuring you can sit back, 

relax and enjoy the trip. 

Because experience matters, the Ambassadair team works tirelessly to craft 

unique journeys for the best value. Whether it is exploring the pyramids in 

Egypt, seeing the vibrant lights of Broadway, or taking in the majesty of a serene 

evening at Mt. Rushmore all aglow, we draw upon our 70 years of industry 

expertise. Join us; create lifelong memories with an unforgettable trip! 

As you look through our magazine, you will see some familiar trips and some 

new destinations for 2024. Our Travel Counselors are excited to talk with you 

and make your reservations. Just call (317) 581-1122 or send us an email at 

info@ambassadair.com. 

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to continuing to 

inspire you to explore the world. 

Happy Traveling, 

Michael E. O. Grueninger

TRAVEL PROTECTION/CANCELLATION WAIVER Grueninger strongly recommends 

that travelers purchase a travel protection plan. Travel protection safeguards 

your travel investment, your belongings, and most importantly, you. Your travel 

protection plan should cover at a minimum, cancellation, curtailment, medical, 

emergency travel and personal accidents, and damage or loss to personal belongings. 

Travel protection with Cancel for Any Reason coverage is available and Grueninger 

recommends you research this coverage prior to purchasing travel protection. 

Grueninger is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, 

exclusions, and conditions of travel protection plans. Grueninger cannot evaluate the 

adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. If you have any 

questions about your travel protection, call the travel protection company directly. 

Declining travel protection plan coverage could result in the loss of your travel 

cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge 

that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or 

expenses incurred. If a traveler chooses to travel without adequate travel protection, 

Grueninger will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, which would 

have been covered by adequate travel protection. 

For some trips, a Cancellation Waiver may be offered. This covers any cancellation 

fees incurred by changes or cancellation up to 48 hours prior to departure of air and/ 

or ground components. It does not cover the Cancellation Waiver premium, nonrefundable 

optional tours, one-way travel, or voluntary changes made to your plans 

that result in a price increase. The Cancellation Waiver may only be purchased at the 

time of reservation and deposit and is valid for new bookings only on selected trips 

per the trip page on ambassadair.com. If the Cancellation Waiver is desired, it must 

be purchased by each paying passenger on the reservation and each person sharing 

accommodations. 

CHANGES Any changes you make regarding your reservation are subject to a per 

person change fee plus any applicable cancellation charges or increases in the 

package price. 

ITINERARIES Grueninger continually strives to improve travel itineraries. If such 

improvements can be made, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute 

accommodations. Grueninger strives to operate trips as advertised, but if unforeseen 

circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we will make every effort 

to substitute accommodations, sightseeing or other inclusions with options of a 

similar standard and location whenever possible. 

CANCELLATION BY GRUENINGER Grueninger reserves the right to cancel any 

trip at its sole discretion. In the unlikely event a trip is canceled by Grueninger and 

Grueninger is unable to reschedule, all funds collected from any traveler will be 

refunded or credit provided. Money is refunded to the original payer. Grueninger 

shall not be responsible for any refund and will pay no damages in the event of 

cancellation due to Force Majeure.

action, natural or nuclear activity, epidemic and/or pandemic or the threat thereof, 

illness, physical injury, quarantine, medical or customs or immigration regulation,

for such services as an agent for the companies that provided these services directly.

improper documentation. Prior to planning a trip, travelers should always visit http://

even if the required information and travel documents are complete. For additional

Some countries require visas to enter. Without a valid visa, traveler may be denied 

entry into the country. Traveler can find out if a visa is required by visiting the 

embassy website of the country traveler will be traveling to. Although traveler can 

always contact Grueninger with questions, it is traveler’s responsibility to ensure 

traveler has all the proper travel documents, to include traveler visa(s). Grueninger is 

happy to refer to traveler a third-party visa processing company if traveler so desires.
