Contiki Holidays USA and Canada eBrochure 2016/18 (GBP)

USA & CANADA 2016-18

Make new friends from new places.

Create the stories now that you’ll recount for decades to come.

Celebrate individuality, diversity, connections and a little bit of craziness.

Find comfort outside your comfort zone.

See the world through youthful eyes, with a little bit of naivety and a truckload of optimism.

You have one life. One shot. Make it count.

AWESOME ACCOMMODATION Our suite of centrally-located accommodation is the result of many years of knowing where our travellers want and need to be.

Learn more about where we stay on p.12.

TEAMUntil you’ve travelled with a human guidebook by your side, it’s hard to fathom just how invaluable they are. Right across Canada and the States we have access to local legends that will be at the ready to ensure your trip is nothing short of mind-blowing. Find out more about our network of Trip Managers, Drivers and Local Guides on p.20.

Special StaY Nightstops Places visited

AustinThere’s so much more than South by Southwest going on in the capital of Texas. Food trucks and cool bars will fuel you between days shopping up a storm of leather boots and bathing in natural springs. The hub of the cowboy country is coming alive.

nAshvilleNashville; capital of Tennessee and Music City of the USA. Bursting with southern charm, it will have your attention from the first bite of famous hot chicken ‘til the final drink at a honky-tonk bar.

sAn FrAnciscoThose pretty cable cars rolling down hilly streets; that big golden bridge; the endless list of cafés brimming with cool locals. You’ll be hard pressed to find a city in the world as lovable as this one, so cute it calls for flowers in your hair.

Boston The capital of Massachusetts and home of Harvard University, Boston is a surprise and delight on the USA map. Walk the Freedom Trail and marvel at charming old streets, then eat and indulge your way through Quincy Marketplace – you’re in the city where old and new collide to perfection.

MontreAlA buzzing mix of French flamboyance and chilled North American vibes, Canada’s second largest city will leave you spellbound. Stroll museums, potter through hip boutiques and marvel at just how handsome this tree-lined island city is.

BAnFFPicture yourself walking above glaciers, getting cosy in a Rocky Mountain Chalet and horse riding in rugged Canadian valleys. Ah yes, beautiful Banff calls in tree huggers and snow lovers to this stunning adventure haven.

YellowstoneThe US state of Wyoming may not ring any bells, but Yellowstone National Park and its icon, Old Faithful, surely will. Watch the geyser erupt into rainbows of mist, keep your eyes peeled for grizzly bears, and take in Mother Nature at her absolute best.

lAs vegAsNeeding very little introduction, Vegas is a rite of passage that takes playtime to a whole new level. Party buses, clubs and all-night fun – turn up the dial as far as your inner wild child desires.

In the expanses of the USA and Canada, you can find something incredible at every point of

the compass, and a Contiki trip that will take you there, too. Visit contiki.com/usa-canada

Important: ME Time optional activities are not included in the price of your trip. They are run by 3rd party operators and on occasion, for some of the activities, travellers may be required to sign a waiver to participate. Before you leave, it’s important that you check your insurance includes your participation in adventure activities and be aware that some of our optionals can be physically demanding and may involve some risk.

OUR FREE SPIRITED TRAVELLERS DON’T WANT TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO. THEY WANT TO CALL THE SHOTS, CRAFT THEIR TIMETABLES AND SPEND EVERY MOMENT DOING EXACTLY

AS THEY PLEASE.

That’s why our trips are all about ME Time, and we include plenty of it: it’s ultimate freedom and flexibility. Use this to time head off and do your own thing or sign up to do the extra explorations found on our list of ME Time optionals.

What does a ME Time optional activity look like when you’re kicking it with Contiki in the USA or Canada? Allow us to whet your wanderlust appetite with just a few of the bucket list hits that you’ll find scattered through this brochure.

Look for the symbol on the trip pages for some inspiration on how to spend your ME Time. Visit contiki.com/metime if you need to know more.

WHAT’S THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE USA AND CANADA? LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, HANDS DOWN.

AND OUR TEAM HAS IT IN ABUNDANCE. Ask anyone who’s travelled these parts – knowing a local is your ticket to an epic trip. It’s one thing having a friend or acquaintance to hit up, but having someone by your side unlocking the region for you? Invaluable. Our Trip Managers, Local Guides and Drivers are the difference between a good trip and one that knocks your socks off.

We can only pity travellers that choose to travel independently, who dash around looking for WiFi so they can tap into Google maps, rummage through TripAdvisor and hassle their Facebook crowd. Poor possums. Meanwhile, your trip is 110% hassle free.

Our team has been sent through rigorous training. They live to show you a good time and strive to see you fall head over heels for their country. Secret eats, hole-in-the-wall bars and hidden landscapes are just the beginning.

Meet our amazing team at contiki.com/team – you can even stalk your way into their Instagram accounts through this link and suss out the USA and Canada through their eyes.

GOING CONTIKIHallelujah! Nothing kick

starts a day of travel quite like a hearty breakfast

dished up in the comfort of your hotel. Anyone for

another pancake?

GOING IT ALONEYou’ve made it into the city

in good time. Well-done grasshopper! Now to track down that café your friend suggested ($15). Oh and a cheap coffee would be

delightful.

GOING CONTIKIWith this Contiki coach and our Trip Manager leading the way, I can just switch my mind off and take in

the city. WIN. (Included)

GOING IT ALONEBreakfast is down the

cab it. Couldn’t be bothered trying to navigate

a railway ticket. ($35)

GOING CONTIKIAh, there she is! That shimmering icon of a

bridge I’ve been dreaming about. Spine tingles aplenty cruising over

the Golden Gate Bridge & wandering around

Fisherman’s Wharf. Plus a tour of Chinatown,

North Beach & the iconic cable cars! (Included)

GOING IT ALONEOkay, a sightseeing tour is a bit of a sting on the wallet. But I’m here for

a good time; I really shouldn’t get caught up counting pennies when

the Golden Gate is on the horizon! ($32.99)

GOING CONTIKIThere are so many

awesome things to do in this city! Free time to explore and then a ME Time optional sunset

catamaran cruise with my trip mates to end the day

Contiki Cares projeCts

Since 2008 Contiki has partnered with some incredible organisations

and people who we continue to support today. These provide support for sustainability and conservation initiatives, and

educate travellers through Earth Month expeditions.

Contiki Cares

TRAVELLING RESPONSIBLYResponsible travel is about treading lightly in the destinations we visit. It’s about respecting the communities and cultures that are so different from our own, understanding the importance of traditions, investing in local economy and putting the environment first. Responsible travel is both a mind-set, and a way of doing things. There are countless ways in which you can travel responsibly. Here’s just a few of the ways we do:

• We actively support locally owned operators and businesses, with some of our supplier relationships dating back 30 years.

• We contribute to the protection and preservation of local historical and archaeological sites, as well as biodiversity conservation and naturally protected areas.

• We incorporate elements of local art and cultural heritage in our trips, such as visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota, whose mission is to preserve the culture and living heritage of North American Indians.

• We proudly support the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim, CA with our Wheels for Change programme. Our travellers donate spare change which goes towards providing disadvantaged children with transport to the club where they receive after-school tutoring, play time in a safe environment and an afternoon snack.

THE STORYBOOT PROJECTThe Storyboot Project was created to revive the traditional art of mukluk and moccasin making. It is a global online marketplace where Aboriginal artists can showcase their one-of-a-kind, traditional made products, receiving 100% of the proceeds. TreadRight recently awarded their Heritage Initiative grant to the project, where funding will go towards creating an educational space at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. Here, an Aboriginal artisan will teach weekly mukluk making sessions to local indigenous students, as well as introducing the art to visiting groups – Contiki travellers included. The grant will allow the Storyboot Project to create a not-for-profit, artisan-run indigenous arts programme that not only sustains a vital indigenous craft, but also allows travellers from across the globe to understand the cultural importance of this ancient tradition.

CONTIKI + DETROIT DIESEL DD13 ENGINES = A HAPPIER PLANETDid you know that coach travel is one of the greenest forms of transport? Think about it – for every full coach, there are 16 fewer cars on the road. But we don’t just stop there. Our fleet of super sleek, sexy and efficient coaches have DD13 engines which use BlueTec Emissions technology to convert all the dangerous fumes into a mix of harmless products for the environment. Which basically means, just by sitting on our coaches you’re already doing your part for the planet. Pretty sweet, right?

CoNtIkI LoVeS the PLANet

Contiki is proud to be using 100% recycled LEIPA paper for the body of our brochures. It is just part of The Travel Corporation way, and

another sign we really dig this planet of ours.

uSA & CANADA 2016-18 25

ReuSe, ReDuCe, ReCYCLeSingle use plastics – a term that really gets our gripe. Did you know that it takes over 1000 years for a piece of plastic to decompose? Or, that every single piece of plastic ever created still exists in some form? Crazy, huh? Recycling is a no-brainer, and on each Contiki coach we collect and recycle empty plastic bottles. But recycling isn’t the long term sustainable solution – reducing plastic usage entirely is, which is why we sell reusable aluminium water bottles on our trips and always ensure we visit places where you can fill up on the go. In the last year we’ve also reduced our paper consumption on trips by 25%, creating online forms our Trip Managers can access whilst on the road.

In the past we’ve removed invasive species and planted endemic plants at the Grand Canyon and collected native seeds at Yosemite, and last summer we cleaned beaches and built fences around nesting grounds on Catalina Island. It’s our way of saying thanks to the destinations we visit.

Contiki, in partnership with the TreadRight Foundation, encourages the sustainable development of tourism by projects that benefit the environment, heritage and community. Visit treadright.org to check out our exciting new partnerships with WildAid and Alliance for Artisan Enterprise.

booking conditionsOnce Contiki accepts your booking by confirmation thereof a contract is made between Contiki & you upon the terms & conditions set out below.

USA & CANADA 2016-18 75

The following Booking Conditions, have to the extent possible, been based on the UK interpretation of the European Community Package Travel Directive.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES1. YOUR HOLIDAY RESERVATIONOn receipt of your deposit, subject to availability and at our discretion, Contiki will reserve your place on your selected holiday. A contract is made between you and Contiki Holidays Limited (Registered in Guernsey No. 50681 (Contiki)) only upon your booking being confirmed and accepted by us and our communication thereof to you or your travel agent. 2. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTIONContiki are a member of ABTA and hold ATOL Number 10144 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, which provide for your protection in the event of our insolvency. Only bookings from countries subject to the EC Package Travel Directive will receive financial protection from ABTA & CAA. Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificateWhen you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. Any monies paid to us for non-licensable products (accommodation and packages which do not include flight elements) are protected by means of a bond held by us with ABTA. This means that if, in the unlikely event of our insolvency, the accommodation or package cannot be provided, the client will receive their money back or, if their stay has started, arrangements will be made for them to be able to continue as planned.3. PRICE GUARANTEEPrices in this brochure are based on costs and exchange rates as of 28th April, 2016. No surcharge in respect of costs or currency fluctuations will be made within 30 days of the commencement of the land content of any holiday or once payment of the deposit of your land trip has been received. The price of your travel arrangements can be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the trip operator or organiser. The price of your travel arrangements can also be varied due to government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes and currency changes in relation to an exchange rate variation. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. For larger variations this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. Should the price of your holiday go down, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you may cancel your travel arrangements and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Whether you cancel or not you will also be entitled, on the terms set out in respect of major changes in clause 4.3 below, to accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements from us if we are able to do so. If a booking is made and confirmed at a price which is erroneous we may correct our error by notifying you. Unless we agree to honour the erroneous price, you will have the right to cancel within 7 days of notification without penalty.4. IF WE CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY4.1 Contiki reserves the right to change or cancel your booking in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control.4.2 Should change or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, and where available, offer you a comparable alternative. Where cancellation is necessary, a minimum period of 45 days notice will be given by us unless the circumstances leading to the cancellation were beyond our reasonable control.4.3 If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another Contiki holiday without payment of any transfer fee.4.4 If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events beyond Contiki’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect of your booking. 4.5 Contiki is not responsible for the cost of any other travel arrangements affected due to cancellation or the rescheduling of any holiday.5. HOLIDAY DETAILS AND CONDITIONS5.1 The information in our brochure is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of going to print (June, 2016) but we cannot guarantee that any item or amenity mentioned will be available especially where we have no direct control over it.5.2 Contiki will do their best, at their discretion, to select accommodation, sightseeing trips and transportation to give you good value for money.5.3 Contiki constantly strives to improve trip itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations. 6. LIABILITY6.1 When you buy a flight inclusive holiday, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust

at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. In the event of failure, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by them, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. Full payment for International flights (excluding those which are included in and not in addition to your chosen holiday) must be remitted at time of booking or within 7 days depending on the airlines ticketing deadline and is non-refundable, non-transferable and non-changeable. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on our behalf at all times.6.2 We will be entitled to keep for our account any interest earned on such monies.6.3 All monies paid by you to us through your travel agent or otherwise, whether in respect of the deposit or full payment, may be disbursed by us as and when we see fit, in respect of the services to be provided and/or fees payable under your selected holiday. The payment of a deposit or any other monies in respect of your holiday shall be deemed to be an authorisation for disbursement thereof as aforesaid.

ARBITRATIONDisputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be amicably settled, may be referred to arbitration, if the customer so wishes, under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents, and administered independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta.com). The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person.
