APT will arrange air travel as advertised in connection with your holiday package or otherwise arranged with APT. All airfares are subject to flight and booking class availability. Airfares will be booked and ticketed upon receipt of your deposit to avoid price or tax increases. Airport taxes vary for each departure point and routing of airline. Airline schedules are subject to change without notice. Once air tickets are issued, airline amendment and/or cancellation fees apply and, in some cases, are non-refundable. Name changes and voluntary date and schedule changes will incur fees. APT is not liable for delays or disruptions of air travel. Once tickets are issued APT will have no other liability and will not be responsible for refunding the cost of any services booked in conjunction with the flights.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Airline Loyalty Points Eligibility</strong> </span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">APT uses the services of a range of airlines in its packages. APT does not warrant that its airfares attract loyalty points as airlines control the application of loyalty points in all cases. Requests to use loyalty points to upgrade travel need to be directed to the airline concerned by the member.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>APT Deposit Cancellation Peace of Mind</strong> </span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">Applicable when an upfront fee of $95 per person is paid with your deposit. The holiday package can be cancelled prior to the final payment date and your deposit will be retained as an APT holding credit to be used for future bookings. If Deposit Cancellation Peace of Mind is claimed, monies held must be used on a future tour and cannot be redeemed against the original tour departure date. Deposits held in credit will exclude fees imposed by third parties, including but not limited to air travel, rail travel and hotels. When booking airfares through APT (including when taking advantage of a special offer that includes air travel), standard airline cancellation fees will apply. In some cases, airfares will be non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, these fees will be deducted from the deposit paid, and therefore the credit being held. APT Deposit Cancellation Peace of Mind applies to new bookings only and is only valid up until 100 days prior to travel. After three years, unused credit funds will incur the original cancellation conditions. This does not replace travel insurance, which you are required to purchase at the time of booking.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Travel Insurance</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">Travel Insurance is not included in your holiday package. For your protection, you are required to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes (without limitation) coverage for the full cost of your holiday package, medical expenses, loss of luggage, land content and airfare charges that may occur due to cancellation, impossibility of performance or other frustration, disruption, loss of deposit or strikes.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Travel Information &amp; Documents</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">After booking you will receive an invoice with all important information relevant to your holiday package. We strongly recommend you check the details carefully and read the included information. Please ensure that you check your flight timings carefully on your tickets, particularly early morning departures. Approximately 21 days before departure you will receive your e-ticket together with your final itinerary. However, in the case of late bookings, charges or late payment, tickets may be emailed to you.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Special Requests</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">Where a special request (e.g. diet, room location, twin or double bedded room, a particular facility at a hotel, flight seat requests and/or particular meals) is an important factor in your choice of holiday, you must advise us when your booking is made. APT will pass your request onto the hotel, airline or other supplier but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. APT will also pass on any dietary requests to the airline but we strongly recommend that you check directly with the airline once your tickets have been issued. The provision of any special request does not constitute a term of your contract with us. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Credit &amp; Debit Card Surcharges</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">If you pay APT by credit or debit card, surcharges will apply. In the case of credit cards a surcharge of between 1% and 3% (depending on the card used), will be added to the tour price. In the case of debit cards a charge of 0.5% will be added to the tour price.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Accuracy</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">APT has endeavoured to ensure that the information provided about accommodation, itineraries etc., is correct to the best of its knowledge at the time of publication. However, advertised descriptions and facilities and prices may change after publication. We recommend that you confirm the details of your chosen holiday package at the time of booking. Additionally, flight times, carriers and routes are given for guidance only as there may be changes. Final details will be shown on your tickets. Holiday package or excursion itineraries may change or be different from those described in our collateral as a result of local conditions, weather conditions, annual events. APT will endeavour to notify you of any significant changes prior to your departure.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"></span><strong><span style="color: windowtext;">Disruption to Cruising and&nbsp;Itinerary&nbsp;Arrangements </span></strong></p> <p class="TCBody" style="margin-bottom: 0.85pt;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Itineraries are intended as a guide only and are subject to alteration without notice. Alternations may be necessary for various reasons including, without limitation, road, rail, river or weather conditions, strikes or other reasons beyond APT&rsquo;s control. If conditions render any routes unsafe for navigation, APT reserves the right to provide alternative services including, but not limited to, accommodation on the docked ship or substitute land arrangements. Under normal river conditions, itineraries will operate as far as possible as published. However, sometimes for reasons beyond our control, it may be necessary to make alterations to your itinerary. For example, without limitation, if there is a water level problem on a river, it may be necessary to operate part of the itinerary by coach and alternative sightseeing may be included. APT will not be liable for any direct or indirect costs that you incur as a result of any event or other factor beyond our control which necessitates a change in your itinerary. Additionally, you are not entitled to any refund for any alterations to your itinerary that are caused or contributed to by any flood or water level events or such other events which are beyond our control. APT cannot guarantee exact arrival and departure times for carriers and operators used by APT and APT will not be liable for failure to make connections with any other services or attractions beyond its control.</span></p> <p class="TCBody" style="margin-bottom: 0.85pt;"><span style="color: windowtext;"></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Flight Changes</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">The flight timings detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. Flight timings are set by airlines and affected by events outside our control. Scheduled and charter flight timings, and days of operation are also subject to change. APT will advise you of any significant changes as soon as it is informed by the airline. Minor timing changes will be shown on your flight tickets. Any change in the identity of the airline, flight timings or aircraft type (if advised) will not entitle you to cancel or change to other arrangements without paying any applicable cancellation fees except where specified in these booking conditions.</span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;"><strong>Out of Date Range Flights</strong></span></p> <p class="APT2020TCsbody" style="border: none;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt; color: windowtext;">If airlines have not published their schedules or airfares at the time of your booking, APT will estimate the cost of airfares connected with your holiday package. When the airline releases flight inventory and airfares, APT will confirm seats and pricing by sending you an updated invoice.

Gratuities are not included for holiday extensions.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Travel Insurance for Antarctica</strong><br /> All passengers are required to carry valid travel insurance. This insurance must contain medical and evacuation coverage and should include cancellation and trip interruption as well.

As part of the pre-departure forms we will require your travel insurance policy number and a 24-hour contact number.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Hotels</strong><br /> In more remote places, hotel standards may not be quite as high as in major centres. APT endeavours to utilise the most suitable accommodation available in each destination to ensure that passengers enjoy high levels of cleanliness, comfort and service. The hotels listed in this brochure will be used on almost all holiday packages, however, if a change is necessary for any reason, APT will endeavour to ensure that alternative accommodation is of an equivalent standard to those shown.<br /> Hotel rooms are generally not available for check-in before 3pm and require check-out by 10am.<br /> Twin or Double Rooms<br /> Accommodation in all hotels, regardless of the rating, is in standard rooms (sometimes named superior/deluxe) based on twins or doubles unless otherwise stated. In South America, twin-bedded rooms are very common and double beds are either not available or limited in number.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Solo Travellers</strong><br /> A limited number of single rooms/suites/cabins may be available by request at time of booking your cruise/holiday package. Single room/suites/cabins are not available on certain cruises.

If this is not possible, APT reserves the right to make changes to cabin assignment, within the category booked, without prior notice.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <ol> <li>Passengers Needing Special Assistance<br /> APT welcomes passengers with disabilities or special needs however, please note the following:<br /> Any disability or medical condition requiring special attention must be reported to APT at the time of booking including all important information relating to your health, mobility and fitness which may affect your partial or total participation in the cruise or tour. This information is also crucial to allow APT to ensure the tour you have chosen is suitable and meets your needs. Any changes to health, mobility and fitness must also be reported to APT as soon as possible and prior to departure. Where possible APT will make reasonable adjustments to the tour to accommodate your special needs however, it cannot do so if the adjustment required would be unreasonable in all of the circumstances, including if such adjustments would affect your safety and/or the safety and/or enjoyment of other passengers.</li> <li>If you require special assistance or care (such as pushing a wheelchair, assistance with dressing or assistance with walking), you must travel with a companion capable of providing the required assistance or care. Please be aware that APT does not provide personal assistance. APT is unable to assist any passenger with walking, dining, boarding or disembarking any transportation vehicles (including river and ocean cruise ships and trains). To safely participate in embarkation and disembarkation you must be able to do so without the need for special assistance. You must also be able to do so without unreasonably impacting other passengers&rsquo; safety and/or enjoyment.</li> <li>While APT will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled passengers, it is not responsible for any denial of services by any third party entities it has travel arrangements with, such as carriers, hotels, trains, restaurants or other independent suppliers, or for any additional associated expenses charges by those parties.</li> <li>Please note coaches and minibuses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Most river and ocean ships have elevators, however not all APT ships have elevators. Many ships require the use of stairs to go between decks. Further, side by side docking may require passengers to climb and descent stairs to cross over vessels to disembark and embark at times.<br /> APT ships often sail through remote areas that do not have convenient docking facilities. In such circumstances it will be necessary for passengers to negotiate temporary gangplanks and uneven surfaces. If the crew decide that it is not safe for a passenger to negotiate such operations they may require passengers to stay on board. Cabin doors and restrooms may not be wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchairs. Wheelchairs and walkers cannot be carried on coaches, due to space limitations. For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the river or ocean cruise ship is at anchor.<br /> <strong></strong></li> </ol> <p><strong>Visas &amp; Passports</strong><br /> All passengers must have a valid passport that is valid for at least six months after the holiday package return date.<br /> Passengers must consult with the appropriate consulates to ensure that they have any applicable visas for countries included in the holiday package prior to departure. Passengers are solely responsible for meeting necessary passport and visa entry requirements and paying all associated costs. APT is not responsible for delays or missed portions of the holiday package resulting from incorrect travel documents or visas.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Optional Tours at Machu Picchu</strong><br /> If you choose to do the Inca Trail Hike Option this is subject to availability and must be pre-booked before you leave Australia.

Any request for changes must be made in writing by the person who made the original booking, or his or her travel agent.

If you request changes after APT has issued your documents, APT may charge you an administration and processing fee of $70 per person in addition to any applicable cancellation fees.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Cancellation of Ticketed Airfares</strong><br /> An APT cancellation fee of $50 per person applies for ticketed airfares, in addition to any airline cancellation fees that are applicable.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Changes to Ticketed Airfares</strong><br /> If you wish to amend the date or routing on your ticketed air booking, an APT amendment fee of $30 per person for the first change and $85 for any subsequent changes will be charged in addition to airline change fees and additional taxes that are applicable.

However, we plan arrangements a long time in advance of your departure date using independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc., over whom we have no direct control. On occasion changes do have to be made, and APT reserves the right to cancel or amend holiday packages/excursions accordingly. All tours require a minimum number of bookings in order to be financially viable and to have a pleasant group atmosphere. In the event adequate numbers cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to cancel a scheduled departure and offer the nearest possible alternative date (or a refund of the monies paid for arrangements made by APT).</p> <p><strong>ON HOLIDAY<br /> </strong></p> <p><strong>Noise &amp; Vibration</strong><br /> APT takes reasonable steps to minimise noise and vibrations on its cruising vessels. You acknowledge and accept that some noise and vibration may be experienced on vessels and that APT is not liable to you for any such noise or vibration.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Luggage Limits</strong><br /> Downsizing to an overnight bag is required when taking the train journey to Machu Picchu and on board the Belmond Andean Explorer Train.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Seat Allocation on Coach Tours</strong><br /> To ensure all passengers enjoy forward and window facing seats, on longer tours a daily seat rotation system may apply at the discretion of the tour director. We do not warrant that the seat rotation will be adjusted to suit personal preference.&nbsp;<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Medical Assistance</strong><br /> The MV Ocean Victory has an on board doctor and infirmary. Guests are responsible for all charges that result from visiting either the on-board medical practitioner or a local medical facility.&nbsp; APT is not responsible for the type or quality of medical services you may receive.</p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>Last updated 01 March 2021</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel apt-panel accordion__panel "> <div class="panel-heading collapsed" role="tab" id="heading_2-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse_2-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseOne"> <div class="panel-heading-detail"> <h3 class="h4 panel-heading__title accordion__panel-title">Africa</h3> </div> </div> <div id="collapse_2-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99" class="panel-collapse collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading_2-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="trip-day-content accordion__content"> <div class="trip-day-content__description"><p><strong>SPECIAL CONDITIONS PERTAINING TO AFRICA PACKAGES</strong></p> <p><strong>Deposits and Payments</strong></p> <p>A $1,500 security deposit per person, per holiday package for all tours is required within seven days of booking Confirmation.

Hotel rooms are generally not available for check-in before 3 pm and require check-out by 10 am.</p> <p><strong>Twin or Double Rooms</strong></p> <p>Accommodation in all hotels, regardless of the rating, is in standard rooms (sometimes named superior) based on twins or doubles unless otherwise stated.</p> <p><strong>Solo Travellers</strong></p> <p>A limited number of single rooms/suites/cabins may be available by request at time of booking your cruise/holiday package. Single rooms/suites/cabins are not available on certain cruises. Single rooms/suites/cabins are usually smaller than standard twin or double rooms and often only have one single bed.</p> <p><strong>Passengers Needing Assistance</strong></p> <p>APT welcomes all passengers. Guests with limited mobility are asked to please note the following:</p> <p>1.<span> </span>Guests with a disability or medical condition requiring assistance must inform APT of any important information relating to their health, mobility and/or fitness which may affect their partial or total participation in the cruise or tour. This information will allow APT to ensure the chosen tour is suitable and meets their needs. Any changes to health, mobility and fitness must also be reported to APT as soon as possible and prior to departure. Where possible, APT will make reasonable adjustments to the tour to assist all guests, however, it cannot do so if the adjustment required would be unreasonable in all of the circumstances, including if such adjustments would affect your safety and/or the safety and/or enjoyment of other passengers.</p> <p>2.<span> </span>If guests require assistance or care (such as pushing a wheelchair, assistance with dressing or assistance with walking), they must travel with a companion capable of providing the required assistance or care. APT is unable to assist any passenger with walking, dining, boarding or disembarking any transportation vehicles (including river and ocean cruise ships and trains). To safely participate in embarkation and disembarkation you must be able to do so without the need for assistance. Guests must also be able to do so without unreasonably impacting other passengers&rsquo; safety and/or enjoyment.</p> <p>3.<span> </span>While APT will make reasonable efforts to accommodate everyone, it is not responsible for any denial of services by any third-party entities it has travel arrangements with, such as carriers, hotels, trains, restaurants or other independent suppliers, or for any additional associated expenses charges by those parties.</p> <p>4.<span> </span>Please note coaches and minibuses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Passengers who use a wheelchair should reconsider travelling on these tours.</p> <p><strong>Health and Fitness</strong></p> <p>A good level of fitness and health is required to participate on APT&rsquo;s holiday packages. In some destinations there are extensive sightseeing excursions by foot which includes the climbing of stairs. Travel is in 4WD vehicles in game parks and in East Africa. Anyone with back conditions or limited mobility should seek advice from their doctor about joining this tour. Dust may also irritate contact lenses, therefore we suggest bringing glasses. In many of the cities and game lodges, walking is required on uneven ground and gravel paths, and good mobility is needed getting on/off 4WD vehicles, small planes, coaches, river ships and trains. We recommend a visit to the doctor before travelling to overseas destinations and consult with them regarding any travel vaccinations which may be required. It is your responsibility to advise APT of any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect the normal conduct of a holiday package and the enjoyment of other passengers. </p> <p>A Health, Fitness &amp; Mobility Questionnaire will be provided and requested to be completed at the time of booking if you advise of any health, fitness or mobility issues. APT is not liable for any injury, illness, or loss of enjoyment which could have been reasonably prevented had we been made aware of a pre-existing condition and been provided an opportunity to review it. We will not be responsible for any costs associated with cancellation penalties or the return of passengers from a tour, and a refund for lost touring cannot be claimed.</p> <p><strong>Visa and Passports</strong></p> <p>A passport that is valid for at least six months after you return home is required. Some African countries also require a minimum number of blank passport pages. Passengers must consult with the appropriate consulates to ensure that they have any applicable visas for countries included in the holiday package prior to departure. Passengers are solely responsible for meeting necessary passport and visa entry requirements and paying all associated costs. APT is not responsible for delays or missed portions of the holiday package resulting from incorrect travel documents or visas. </p> <p>If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after the invoice has been issued, we will do our best to make the change, but it may not be possible. Any request for changes must be made in writing by the person who made the original booking, or their travel agent.

Many ships require the use of stairs to go between decks. Further, side-by-side docking may require passengers to climb and descend stairs to cross over vessels to disembark and embark at times. APT ships occasionally sail through remote areas that do not have convenient docking facilities. In such circumstances it will be necessary for passengers to negotiate temporary gangplanks, tender boats, riverbanks and uneven surfaces. If the crew decide that it is not safe for a passenger to negotiate such operations, they may require passengers to stay on board. Due to the lack of infrastructure along the riverbanks, and absence of lifts on board vessels, wheelchairs will be of minimal use. Cabin doors and restrooms on river cruise ships are not wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchairs. For safety reasons, passengers using wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the river cruise ship is at anchor.

Passport details are required to be provided to APT no later than 60 days prior to arrival. Passengers on own&nbsp;<br /> arrangements will need to purchase their own visas for Egypt and Jordan. No refunds will be provided.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY</span></strong></p> <p> <strong>Changes or Additions to Your Holiday<br /> </strong> If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after the invoice has been issued, we will do our best to make the change, but it may not be possible. Any request for changes must be made in writing by the person who made the original booking, or their travel agent. If it is possible to make the change, it will be subject to an administration charge of $70 per person and payment of any further costs incurred as a result of the change. A change to your departure date may be treated as a cancellation, therefore cancellation fees rather than change fees will apply.</p> <p> <strong>Cancellation Policy<br /> </strong> The following APT cancellation fees apply (in addition to charges of any independent suppliers e.g., airlines and hotels):<br /> Days of Notice: <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span></span>Fee Per Person:<br /> (Prior to Departure)<br /> 100 days or more<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Loss of deposit<br /> 99-61 days <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span></span>50% of holiday package price<br /> 60 days or less <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span></span>100% of holiday package price<br /> 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&rsquo;s loss and are otherwise reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate interests of APT. If you request changes or amend your booking in any way after APT has issued your documents, APT may charge you an administration and processing fee of $70 per person in addition to any applicable cancellation fees.</p> <p> <strong>Cancellation of Ticketed Airfares<br /> </strong> An APT cancellation fee of $50 per person applies for ticketed airfares, in addition to any airline cancellation fees that are applicable.</p> <p> <strong>Changes to Ticketed Airfares<br /> </strong> If you wish to amend the date or routing on your ticketed air booking, an APT amendment fee of $30 per person for the first change and $85 per person for any subsequent changes will be charged in addition to airline change fees and additional taxes that are applicable. If, for any reason, a name change to a ticketed airfare is required, a $125 per person name change fee will apply for every change in addition to any applicable airline fees.</p> <p> <strong>IF WE NEED TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY<br /> </strong> APT endeavours to provide you with all the services confirmed to you at the time of your booking. However, we plan arrangements a long time in advance of your departure date using independent suppliers such as airline, hotels etc., over whom we have no direct control. On occasions changes do have to be made, APT reserves the right to cancel or amend holiday packages/excursions accordingly. All tours require a minimum number of bookings in order to be financially viable and to have a pleasant group atmosphere. In the event adequate numbers cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to cancel a scheduled departure and offer the nearest possible alternative date (or a refund of the monies paid for arrangements made by APT).</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ON HOLIDAY</span></strong></p> <p> <strong>Noise &amp; Vibration<br /> </strong> APT takes reasonable steps to minimise noise and vibrations on river cruise ships.

Our marketing collateral contains limited information, however, there is more information online at aptouring.com.au and our qualified staff are available to discuss your options. </p> <p><strong>Gratuities</strong> <br /> Gratuities for the land portion of your tour, shore excursions, and on board your river or expedition cruises are included within the tour price. Gratuities cannot be redeemed for cash. </p> <p><strong>Hotels</strong> <br /> Hotel rooms in Europe are often smaller than those in Australia and New Zealand. In more remote places, hotel standards may not be quite as high as in major centres. APT endeavours to utilise the most suitable accommodation available in each destination to ensure that passengers enjoy high levels of cleanliness, comfort and service. The hotels listed will be used on almost all holiday packages, however, if a change is necessary for any reason, APT will endeavour to ensure that alternative accommodation is of an equivalent standard to those shown. Hotel rooms are generally not available for check-in before 3pm and require check-out by 10am. </p> <p><strong>Twin or Double Rooms</strong> <br /> Accommodation in all hotels, regardless of the rating, is in standard rooms (sometimes named superior/deluxe) based on twins or doubles unless otherwise stated. </p> <p><strong>Solo Travellers</strong> <br /> A limited number of single rooms/suites/cabins may be available by request at time of booking your cruise/holiday package. Single room/suites/cabins are not available on certain cruises. Single rooms/suites/cabins are usually smaller than standard twin or double rooms and often only have one single bed. </p> <p><strong>Cruising &ndash; Cabin/Suite/Stateroom Selection</strong> <br /> APT will make every effort to assign specific cabins, cabin numbers or locations on the ship if requested. If this is not possible, APT reserves the right to make changes to cabin assignment, within the category booked, without prior notice. </p> <p><strong>Passengers&nbsp;Needing Special Assistance</strong> <br /> APT welcomes passengers with disabilities or special needs however, please note the following:</p> <ol> <li>Any disability or medical condition requiring special attention must be reported to APT at the time of booking including all important information relating to your health, mobility and fitness which may affect your partial or total participation in the cruise or tour. This information is also crucial to allow APT to ensure the tour you have chosen is suitable and meets your needs. Any changes to health, mobility and fitness must also be reported to APT as soon as possible and prior to departure. Where possible APT will make reasonable adjustments to the tour to accommodate your special needs however, it cannot do so if the adjustment required would be unreasonable in all of the circumstances, including if such adjustments would affect your safety and/or the safety and/or enjoyment of other passengers. </li> <li>If you require special assistance or care (such as pushing a wheelchair, assistance with dressing or assistance with walking or hearing emergency alarms unaided), you must travel with a companion capable of providing the required assistance or care. Please be aware that APT does not provide personal assistance and consequently deaf passengers must share accommodation with a person capable of hearing alarms in cabins. APT is unable to assist any passenger with walking, dining, boarding or disembarking any transportation vehicles (including river and ocean cruise ships and trains). To safely participate in embarkation and disembarkation you must be able to do so without the need for special assistance. You must also be able to do so without unreasonably impacting other passengers&rsquo; safety and/or enjoyment. </li> <li>While APT will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled passengers, it is not responsible for any denial of services by any third party entities it has travel arrangements with, such as carriers, hotels, trains, restaurants or other independent suppliers, or for any additional associated expenses charges by those parties. </li> <li>Please note coaches and minibuses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Most river and ocean ships have elevators, however not all APT ships have elevators. Many ships require the use of stairs to go between decks. Further, side by side docking may require passengers to climb and descent stairs to cross over vessels to disembark and embark at times. APT ships often sail through remote areas that do not have convenient docking facilities. In such circumstances it will be necessary for passengers to negotiate temporary gangplanks and uneven surfaces. If the crew decide that it is not safe for a passenger to negotiate such operations they may require passengers to stay on board. Cabin doors and restrooms may not be wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchairs. Wheelchairs and walkers cannot be carried on coaches, due to space limitations. For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the river or ocean cruise ship is at anchor. APT is unable to provide individual assistance to any passenger for walking, dining, disembarking or embarking cruise ships and/or coaches or other transportation vehicles or other personal needs.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Health and Fitness</strong> <br /> A good level of fitness and health is required to participate on APT&rsquo;s holiday packages. In some destinations there are extensive sightseeing excursions by foot which includes the climbing of stairs. Mobility is needed boarding or alighting coaches, river cruise ships and trains. We recommend a visit to the doctor before travelling to overseas destinations and consult with them regarding any vaccinations which may be required. It is your responsibility to advise APT of any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect the normal conduct of a holiday package and the enjoyment of other passengers. A Health, Fitness &amp; Mobility Questionnaire will be provided and requested to be completed at the time of booking if you advise of any health, fitness or mobility issues. APT is not liable for any injury, illness, or loss of enjoyment which could have been reasonably prevented had we been made aware of a pre-existing condition and been provided an opportunity to review it. We will not be responsible for any costs associated with cancellation penalties or the return of passengers from a tour, and a refund for lost touring cannot be claimed. </p> <p> <strong>Visa and Passports</strong> <br /> All passengers must have a valid passport that is valid for at least six months after the holiday package return date. Passengers must consult with the appropriate consulates to ensure that they have any applicable visas for countries included in the holiday package prior to departure. Passengers are solely responsible for meeting necessary passport and visa entry requirements and paying all associated costs. APT is not responsible for delays or missed portions of the holiday package resulting from incorrect travel documents or visas. </p> <p> <strong>Shore Excursions <br /> </strong> The timing of shore excursions on all river ship and expedition ship holiday packages may differ slightly for each package. Published times are a guide only and are subject to change without notice. It is impossible for large coaches to be used for some city sightseeing excursions and many towns and cities will be visited by way of walking tours. For river cruising, clients must be able to climb ramps to embark or disembark river cruise ships. Depending on river water levels, these may have a number of steep steps. Venue closures outside of APT&rsquo;s control may affect our ability to operate some excursions. Holiday packages including time in Switzerland and other alpine regions may include excursions to, at times, high altitudes. </p> <p> <strong>Signature Experiences</strong> <br /> The Mozart Boys&rsquo; Choir members do not perform on all departures and may be substituted with an alternative children&rsquo;s choir. The Grand Empress steam train is offered on departures from April to September only. </p> <p> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY </span></strong></p> <p> <strong>Changes or Additions to Your Holiday</strong> <br /> If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after the invoice has been issued, we will do our best to make the change, but it may not be possible.

If, for any reason, a name change to a ticketed airfare is required, a $125 per person name change fee will apply for every change in addition to any applicable airline fees. </p> <p> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">IF WE NEED TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY</span></strong> </p> <p> If we change or cancel your holiday before your departure, APT endeavours to provide you with all the services confirmed to you at the time of your booking.

You acknowledge and accept that some noise and vibration may be experienced on vessels and that APT is not liable to you for any such noise or vibration. </p> <p> <strong>Docking Position</strong> <br /> During port stops river cruise ships may dock side by side, obstructing views and requiring you to pass through other ships to embark or disembark. </p> <p> <strong>Sun Deck</strong><br /> During passage through locks or under low bridges, or in the case of adverse weather, it may be necessary to close the main sun deck for passenger use. In the interests of safety, sun deck closures are rigidly enforced. While circumstances will vary and are beyond control, closures of the main sun deck may amount to 4-6 days on average per 15-day cruise. The lower sun deck may also close for short periods of time. </p> <p> <strong>Seat Allocation on Coach Tours</strong> <br /> To ensure all passengers enjoy forward and window facing seats, on longer tours a daily seat rotation system may apply at the discretion of the tour director. We do not warrant that the seat rotation will be adjusted to suit personal preference. Coaches used on Small Group Journeys or Classic Tours are 40-seater vehicles. In the unlikely event of unforeseen circumstances, a replacement vehicle may be offered which may not fulfil this specification. </p> <p> <strong>WiFi Internet - River &amp; Expedition Cruising</strong> <br /> Wi-Fi internet is available without charge aboard your vessel although APT cannot guarantee the consistency of the service throughout the cruise. </p> <p style="text-align: right;"> <em>Last updated 22 January 2021</em></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel apt-panel accordion__panel "> <div class="panel-heading collapsed" role="tab" id="heading_6-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse_6-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseOne"> <div class="panel-heading-detail"> <h3 class="h4 panel-heading__title accordion__panel-title">Kimberley & Outback Wilderness Adventures</h3> </div> </div> <div id="collapse_6-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99" class="panel-collapse collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading_6-373e4d199df34c109b6cbeb9ef930b99"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="trip-day-content accordion__content"> <div class="trip-day-content__description"><p>A non-refundable security deposit per person, per holiday package is required within seven days of booking confirmation. $500 per person is required for Kimberley Wilderness Adventures and Outback Wilderness Adventures. $1,000 per person is required for Small Ship Luxury Expedition Cruising.

Our brochures contain limited information, however, there is more information online at www.aptouring.com.au and our qualified staff are available to discuss your options.</p> <p><strong>Hotels</strong><br /> Hotel rooms in North America are often smaller than those in Australia and New Zealand. In more remote places, hotel standards may not be quite as high as in major centres. APT endeavours to utilise the most suitable accommodation available in each destination to ensure that passengers enjoy high levels of cleanliness, comfort and service. The hotels listed will be used on almost all holiday packages, however, if a change is necessary for any reason, APT will endeavour to ensure that alternative accommodation is of an equivalent standard to those shown. Hotel rooms are generally not available for check-in before 4pm and require check-out by 11am.</p> <p><strong>Twin/Triple Rooms<br /> </strong>Twin/Triple Room prices are subject to availability and based on existing room/cabin sizes, hotel bedding (twin/double) or stateroom availability on cruises (normally max. two beds per room).</p> <p><strong>Solo Travellers<br /> </strong>A limited number of single rooms/suites/cabins may be available by request at time of booking your cruise/holiday package.

If this is not possible, APT reserves the right to make changes to cabin assignment, within the category booked, without prior notice.</p> <p><strong>Passengers Needing Assistance<br /> </strong>APT welcomes all passengers. Guests with limited mobility are asked to please note the following:</p> <ol> <li>Guests with a disability or medical condition requiring assistance must inform APT of any important information relating to their health, mobility and/or fitness which may affect their partial or total participation in the cruise or tour. This information will allow APT to ensure the chosen tour is suitable and meets their needs. Any changes to health, mobility and fitness must also be reported to APT as soon as possible and prior to departure. Where possible, APT will make reasonable adjustments to the tour to assist all guests, however, it cannot do so if the adjustment required would be unreasonable in all of the circumstances, including if such adjustments would affect your safety and/or the safety and/or enjoyment of other passengers.&nbsp;</li> <li>If guests require assistance or care (such as pushing a wheelchair, assistance with dressing or assistance with walking), they must travel with a companion capable of providing the required assistance or care.

Many ships require the use of stairs to go between decks. Further, side by side docking may require passengers to climb and descend stairs to cross over vessels to disembark and embark at times. APT ships occasionally sail through remote areas that do not have convenient docking facilities. In such circumstances it will be necessary for passengers to negotiate temporary gangplanks, tender boats, riverbanks and uneven surfaces. If the crew decide that it is not safe for a passenger to negotiate such operations, they may require passengers to stay on board. Due to the lack of infrastructure along the riverbanks, and absence of lifts on board vessels, wheelchairs will be of minimal use. Passengers who use a wheelchair should reconsider travelling on these tours.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Health and Fitness<br /> </strong>A good level of fitness and health is required to participate on APT&rsquo;s holiday packages.

Our brochures contain limited information, however, there is more information online at www.aptouring.com.au and our qualified staff are available to discuss your options.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Hotels<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">In more remote places, hotel standards may not be quite as high as in major centres. APT endeavours to utilise the most suitable accommodation available in each destination to ensure that passengers enjoy high levels of cleanliness, comfort and service. The hotels listed will be used on almost all holiday packages, however, if a change is necessary for any reason, APT will endeavour to ensure that alternative accommodation is of an equivalent standard to those shown.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Twin or Double Rooms<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">Accommodation in all hotels, regardless of the rating, is in standard rooms (sometimes named superior/deluxe) based on twins or doubles unless otherwise stated.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Solo Travellers<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">A limited number of single rooms may be available at time of booking. Single rooms may be smaller than twin or double bedded rooms and may have a single bed.&nbsp;</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Passengers Needing Assistance<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">APT welcomes passengers with disabilities or special needs however, please note the following:</p> <p style="color: #000000;">1. Any disability or medical condition requiring special attention must be reported to APT at the time of booking including all important information relating to your health, mobility and fitness which may affect your partial or total participation in the cruise or tour. This information is also crucial to allow APT to ensure the tour you have chosen is suitable and meets your needs. Any changes to health, mobility and fitness must also be reported to&nbsp;<br /> APT as soon as possible and prior to departure. Where possible APT will make reasonable adjustments to the tour to accommodate your special needs however, it cannot do so if the adjustment required would be unreasonable in all of the circumstances, including if such adjustments would affect your safety and/or the safety and/or enjoyment of other passengers.</p> <p style="color: #000000;">2. If guests require assistance or care (such as pushing a wheelchair, assistance with dressing or assistance with walking), they must travel with a companion capable of providing the required assistance or care. APT is unable to assist any passenger with walking, dining, boarding or disembarking any transportation vehicles (including river and ocean cruise ships and trains). To safely participate in embarkation and disembarkation you must be able to do so without the need for assistance. Guests must also be able to do so without unreasonably impacting other passengers&rsquo; safety and/or enjoyment.</p> <p style="color: #000000;">3. While APT will make reasonable efforts to accommodate everyone, it is not responsible for any denial of services by any third-party entities it has travel arrangements with, such as carriers, hotels, trains, restaurants or other independent suppliers, or for any additional associated expenses charges by those parties.</p> <p style="color: #000000;">4. Please note coaches and minibuses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. APT is unable to provide individual assistance to any passenger for walking, dining, disembarking or embarking coaches or other transportation vehicles or other personal needs.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Health and Fitness<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">A good level of fitness and health is required to participate on APT&rsquo;s holiday packages. In some destinations there are extensive sightseeing excursions by foot which includes the climbing of stairs. Mobility is needed boarding or alighting coaches, ocean cruise ships and trains. We recommend a visit to the doctor before travelling to overseas destinations and consult with them regarding any vaccinations which may be required. It is your responsibility to advise APT of any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect the normal conduct of a holiday package and the enjoyment of other passengers. A Health, Fitness &amp; Mobility Questionnaire will be provided and requested to be completed at the time of booking if you advise of any health, fitness or mobility issues. APT is not liable for any injury, illness, or loss of enjoyment which could have been reasonably prevented had we been made aware of a pre-existing condition and been provided an opportunity to review it. We will not be responsible for any costs associated with cancellation penalties or the return of passengers from a tour, and a refund for lost touring cannot be claimed.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY</strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Changes or Additions to Your Holiday<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after the invoice has been issued, we will do our best to make the change, but it may not be possible. If it is possible to make the change, it will be subject to an administration charge and payment of any further costs incurred as a result of the change. If you are changing the date of your holiday package, this may be treated as a cancellation and therefore the below cancellation fees may be applied.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Cancellation Policy<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">Days of Notice<br /> Prior to Departure: <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Fee Per Person:<br /> 100 days or more <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Loss of deposit<br /> 99-61 days <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span></span>50% of holiday package price<br /> 60-0 days or less <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span></span>100% of holiday package price</p> <p style="color: #000000;">If your holiday has commenced, 100% of the full holiday package price is charged. There is no refund of 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&rsquo;s loss<br /> and are otherwise reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate interests of APT. If you request changes or amend your booking in any way after APT has issued your documents, APT may charge you an administration and processing fee of $70 per person in addition to any applicable cancellation fees.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Cancellation of Ticketed Airfares<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">An APT cancellation fee of $50 per person applies for ticketed airfares, in addition to any airline cancellation fees that are applicable.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Changes to Ticketed Airfares<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">If you wish to amend the date or routing on your ticketed air booking, an APT amendment fee of $30 per person for the first change and $85 for any subsequent changes will be charged in addition to airline change fees and additional taxes that are applicable. If, for any reason, a name change to a ticketed airfare is required, a $125 per person name change fee will apply for every change in addition to any applicable airline fees.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>IF WE NEED TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">If we change or cancel your holiday before your departure, APT endeavours to provide you with all the services confirmed to you at the time of your booking. However, we plan arrangements a long time in advance of your departure date using independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc., over whom we have no direct control. On occasion changes do have to be made, and APT reserves the right to cancel or amend holiday packages/<br /> excursions accordingly. All tours require a minimum number of bookings in order to be financially viable and to have a pleasant group atmosphere. In the event adequate numbers cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to cancel a scheduled departure and offer the nearest possible alternative date (or a refund of the monies paid for arrangements made by APT).</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>ON HOLIDAY<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Noise &amp; Vibration<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">You acknowledge and accept that some noise and vibration may be experienced on aircraft, vehicles and trains and that APT is not liable to you for any such noise or vibration.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Seat Allocation on our Aircraft/Coach Tours<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">To ensure all passengers enjoy forward and window facing seats, we have incorporated a daily seat rotation system. This system is not able to be adjusted to suit individual needs under any circumstances.</p> <p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Luggage Limits&nbsp;<br /> </strong></p> <p style="color: #000000;">Our aircraft has strict luggage restrictions. Checked luggage must weight no more than 16kg. 1 piece of hand luggage is permitted weighing no more than 5kg and must be a soft bag with no wheels.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Updated: 15 August 2023<br /> <br /> <br /> </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="grid-component "> <div class="container " > <div class="row " > <div class="col-xs-12 col-no-min-height row-12__col " > </div> </div> </div> </div> <section id="accordion" class="apt-accordion accordion" data-trip-itinerary> <div class="container"> <h2 class="title">Website Image Credit</h2> <div class="panel-group accordion__panel-group" id="destination-regions-accordion_bc7d1e291aa0497da597e200974203b6" role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true"> <div class="panel apt-panel accordion__panel "> <div class="panel-heading collapsed" role="tab" id="heading_1-bc7d1e291aa0497da597e200974203b6" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse_1-bc7d1e291aa0497da597e200974203b6" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseOne"> <div class="panel-heading-detail"> <h3 class="h4 panel-heading__title accordion__panel-title">Image Credit</h3> </div> </div> <div id="collapse_1-bc7d1e291aa0497da597e200974203b6" class="panel-collapse collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading_1-bc7d1e291aa0497da597e200974203b6"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="trip-day-content accordion__content"> <div class="trip-day-content__description"><h3 class="text-center" style="color: #122f60;
