All fares are in Australian currency. Your booking contract is with Australian Pacific Touring Pty Ltd (APT), and incorporates all of the following terms and conditions. You should read and understand your contract, and ask APT or your travel agent if you require any clarification. Cancellation Policy For all holiday packages, the following applies: Days of Notice Fee Per Person 100 days or more Loss of deposit 99-61 days 50% of holiday package price 60 days or less 100% of holiday package price All cancellations must be received in writing by APT and are not effective until this notification has been received. If your holiday has commenced, 100% of the full holiday package price is charged. There is no refund for unused services or if portions of the holiday package are missed. Additional cancellation fees may also be charged in respect of accommodation reserved outside the holiday package dates. These cancellation fees are in addition to any fees that may be levied by APT and your travel agent (if any). You acknowledge that the amounts estimated under the Cancellation Policy are reasonable and represent a genuine pre-estimate of APT's loss. If you request changes after flight bookings have been ticketed or APT has issued your documents, APT will charge you a minimum change or amendment fee of $150 per person in addition to any applicable cancellation fees. APT Deposit Cancellation Cover Conditions apply. Deposit held in credit will exclude all fees imposed by third parties in relation to: air travel, rail travel, hotel accommodation and cabins on cruises. When booking airfares through APT (including when taking advantage of a special offer that includes air travel) standard airline cancellation fees will apply and in some cases the air may be fully non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, these fees will be deducted from the deposit paid, and therefore reduce the credit being held. Deposit Cancellation Cover applies to new bookings only and is only valid up until 100 days prior to travel. Credit cannot be exchanged for a cash refund. After five years, unused credit funds will incur the original cancellation conditions as per brochure. This does not replace travel insurance, which we strongly recommend is organised at the time of booking. Included in Holiday Package Price As indicated in individual itineraries – all transport, accommodation, airfares, gratuities, airport transfers on the first and last day, sightseeing, excursions, meals, admissions, port charges and the services of an APT Tour Director on land tours and a cruise escort where specified.

Visa and Passports CANADA ENTRY: In 2015, the Canadian Government will be introducing an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) process for visa exempt countries. Once implemented, All Australian, New Zealand and UK passport holders transiting or touring through Canada will be required to obtain an eTA prior to travel. The eTA is yet to be implemented by the Canadian Government. Please check the Canadian Immigration website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index. asp regularly prior to entering Canada for the most up-to-date information regarding the eTA, and whether you will require a visa to enter Canada. If you require assistance with this process, please contact your travel agent or APT. If travelling into the United States (including on an Alaskan cruise), all Australian, New Zealand and UK citizens must register on the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) to ensure eligibility to travel to the US under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). There is a fee of US$14* payable in conjunction with the ESTA registration (* subject to change). All passengers must carry a machine readable passport, valid for at least six months after your return date. Note that visa and passport requirements are the responsibility of the traveller to organise. Twin/Triple in Fairmont Gold Floors When purchasing a Platinum Collection holiday or upgrading to the APT Gold Experience, some Fairmont properties do not have twin or triple bedding on the Gold Floor. In this case, passengers will be located in a twin or triple room within the hotel while having access to the Gold Floor facilities. Changes to Itinerary Itineraries and hotels for 2016 are subject to change. Any new tour inclusions that appear in the main 2016 Canada & Alaska and USA brochures will also apply to all pre-release bookings based on the tour code. These are included at no extra cost. Full details of itineraries and new inclusions for 2016 will be available upon the launch of the main 2016 Canada & Alaska and USA brochures.
