We regret we are unable to make refunds for unused portion(s) of the tour including but not limited to missed meals and sightseeing. Claims for any services not provided as per tour must be made in writing within 30 days following completion of the tour.

Air Transportation

Certain tours include, as specified on “Tour Includes”, domestic airfares within Greece and Turkey. The applicable taxes in conjunction with airline tickets are included in the tour prices and will be reassessed separately at the time of booking.

Hotels

The hotels listed in this brochure will be used on almost all departures. If a change becomes necessary for any reason, hotels substituted will be the equivalent of those shown. The per person rates are based on two persons sharing a twin-bedded room with private facilities. A limited number of single rooms (at a supplement) and triple rooms (often, but not always, at a reduction) are available. Hotel service charges and VAT taxes are included in the tour price. In most cases hotel grades are based on the Local Tourist Authority ratings and our own evaluation. However, with the highly individual character of hotels, differences do arise between hotels of the same grading. Please also bear in mind that European standards are not necessarily the same as in the USA. A first class rating in the USA usually denotes a higher degree of luxury if compared to European standards. Furthermore, hotel standards in European countries vary from country to country. It is standard policy in Europe that hotel rooms are not available for check-in before 2:00 p.m.

Cruises

As specified in each itinerary, the per person prices are based on two persons sharing an air-conditioned, inside cabin with two lower beds, private facilities and all meals. A limited number of single cabins (at a supplement) and triple cabins (at a reduction) are available. Cabin upgrades are available at a supplement.

Transfers

All transfers, as specified in each itinerary, by car, special chartered taxi or motorcoach including porterage at hotels and cruise ships. Transfers at the beginning and end of the tours are not included when arrival and departure dates and/or flight(s) have been changed.

Sightseeing and Excursions

As indicated in each itinerary, using motorcoach transportation or other conveyance when required. Entrance fees to places visited are included and a professional English-speaking guide accompanies each group on all included tours. Shore excursions on cruises are optional and not included.

Meals

Lunch or dinner may also be included on certain tours as specified on each itinerary (B – breakfast, L – lunch, D – dinner). All cruises include all meals on-board.

Travelers Needing Special Assistance

Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to Crown Peters Travel Service at the time the reservation is made. Crown Peters will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled tour members, but is not responsible in the event it is unable to do so, nor is it responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants or other independent suppliers. European touring motorcoaches/ minibuses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a tour member for walking, dining, getting on and off motorcoaches/minibuses and other transportation vehicles or their personal needs. Travelers who need such assistance, must be accompanied by a qualified companion who will be responsible.

Baggage

Porterage for one suitcase on tour is included in the tour price. Due to limited coach capacity only one piece of luggage per person can be carried on overnight tours. Luggage is carried at owner’s risk on all tours and insurance is highly recommended.

Itinerary Variations

Crown Peters Travel Service and its air/cruise/hotel/ land suppliers constantly strive to improve each itinerary and all features. If improvements can be made or unforeseen conditions beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and substitute hotels. Occasional restorations may cause exhibits to close. During local or national holidays abroad, certain facilities such as museums, theatres, sightseeing tours and shopping may be limited. In such instances, and wherever possible, slight itinerary adjustments are made by Crown Peters to minimize inconvenience to passengers. Cruise Lines reserve the right to substitute vessels, cancel a cruise and/or change an itinerary even when a cruise is in progress. Crown Peters Travel will not be held responsible for any of these occurrences.
