Participation
As you are traveling with a group of international travelers on vacations listed in the brochure or on the Web site, you are expected to conduct yourself in a manner that is not offensive to others or disruptive to the group and are expected to conduct yourself in a manner that is appropriate for group travel. For the benefit of everyone on your vacation, Cosmos, Globus and Globus family of brands reserve the right to accept or reject any person as a vacation participant, and to remove from the vacation any participant whose conduct is deemed incompatible with the interests of the other participants.

Travelers who need special assistance
You must report any disability requiring special attention to Cosmos, Globus and Globus family of brands at the time the reservation is made. Cosmos, Globus and Globus family of brands will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled travelers, 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. Most transportation services, including the vacationing motorcoach, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a vacation participant for walking, dining, getting on and off motorcoaches and other vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion must accompany travelers who need such assistance, and must assume total responsibility for the handicapped participant’s well-being.

Young travelers
Travelers who are less than 18 years old on the departure date must be accompanied by an adult. Children receive a 10% discount on the land price. We do not accept children who are less than eight years old. For special requirements regarding airline tickets for children, contact your airline directly.

Due to heightened security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized letter be written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authorization to travel, including the dates of travel. We suggest that you also contact the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may have additional requirements.

Smoking
Smoking is not allowed on transportation that is exclusively provided by Cosmos, Globus and Globus family of brands.

Price Guarantee
All vacation prices are based on rates (including foreign exchange rates) known at the time of printing and expected to be in effect at the time of departure. Prices are subject to increase without notice if such rates change prior to departure. The current price will be confirmed at the time of the reservation. However, once Cosmos, Globus and Globus family of brands has received your deposit for any vacation departing in 2007, that land price is guaranteed, and any subsequent land cost increases are at our expense, not including surcharges and any government tax increases.

Vacation prices are per person, based on two persons sharing a room. Single room supplements and triple room reductions are listed where applicable.

Visas & Passports
A valid national passport is needed for all vacations and, as the various countries all have their own formalities, it is imperative that you check with your travel agent the visa requirements to enter the countries of the vacation you have chosen. Local consulates will also be in a position to give advice. You are responsible for obtaining and payment for all visas and entry documents, and for meeting all health and other requirements and any documents required by laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of the countries to be visited. Multiple-entry visas are required for some vacations. All passengers traveling internationally are required to have a passport. Most countries require that the passport be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the conclusion of your trip.

Passengers are responsible for getting their own visa’s and must ensure that they can obtain these visas before entering into a booking commitment with us.

Accommodations
TThe accommodations listed in the brochure or on the Web site are intended to be used on all departures; however, if a change becomes necessary for any reason, the accommodations substituted will be equivalent in standard to those shown. Every effort is made to reserve only twin-bedded rooms. It may occasionally happen that an accommodation provides some double-bedded rooms instead. These rooms will be allocated to couples where possible.

Please note that accommodation check-in times vary worldwide. Triple-room configuration is at the discretion of individual hotels.

Private bath and single rooms
In exceptional cases where private bath or single rooms as reserved by us are not available, refunds will be made by the Tour Director or Local Host. Claims made in this respect cannot be accepted after the vacation is complete.

Baggage allowance
Porterage for one suitcase is included in the vacation price. Airport porterage at the beginning and end of the vacation is not included. Due to limited coach capacity, this single bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30"x21"x11" and weight not exceeding 50 lbs. (22kg) or less if your air carrier has stricter weight/dimension limitations. We regret we are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits. We recommend you consult your air carrier as size and weight limitations vary from airline to airline and even according to destination, and are becoming more restrictive. Cosmos, Globus and Globus family of brands is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers. Regulations within most airports require that travelers handle their own luggage through customs.

Carry-on bag should not exceed the dimensions of 12"x11"x6". For safety reasons, wheeled carry-on bags are not suitable as hand luggage on motorcoaches and mini-buses.

No responsibility is accepted for loss of or damage to baggage or any of the vacation participant’s belongings. Baggage insurance is recommended.
