I’ve just returned from India’s Golden Triangle, Tigers & Amritsar’s Golden Temple – Exclusively Solos. What can I say apart from it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I was collected from the airport with no need to worry. There were great hotels and a great group of solo travellers who made the trip. The guide was incredible and had a wealth of information. Every day was crammed full of sights, sounds, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that I’ll never forget. Karen, Customer – India’s Golden Triangle, Tigers & Amritsar’s Golden Temple

A solo holiday, your way

Nine exclusively solo tours

This is your holiday, but you’re in our safe hands, specifically those of the experienced and friendly tour manager. Serving as a local host, your designated guide will ensure the comfort, wellbeing and unity of the group while bringing the itinerary to life throughout. For additional support, advice and recommendations, they’ll always be on standby to oversee the seamless operations of every travel arrangement.

From island hopping around Croatia to immersing yourself in the breath-taking landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, our exclusively solo tours are packed with captivating experiences. This year, we’ve also added even more options for you to choose from. Traverse ancient merchant routes in Morocco, venture across India’s tropical south and make your way through the Canadian Rockies. Alternatively, delve into the past of Vietnam and Cambodia with an exploration of new learnings, flavours and experiences.

Your own space and time Although you’ll be on a group tour, having your own private guestroom and bathroom facilities is a given. Depending on the centrally located accommodation available, you’ll have a twin or double guestroom or in some cases, a designated single room. The included excursions will be experienced alongside fellow travellers, so you’ll always have like-minded guests around to share those wish-list moments with. We’ve also curated the collection to offer plenty of time to explore by yourself and free days with unguided visits.

Included social opportunities How much interaction you’d like to engage in is a personal preference, however, we’ve included a few opportunities to support getting to know the other travellers. A welcome drink and dinner on the first night of each tour provide a perfect chance to connect from the get-go, and a farewell dinner during the final evening means you can reflect, celebrate and share stories with your new-found friends. On most of the tours, the meal plans operate on a flexible board basis, which means you have the independence to dine where you want and at your leisure.

More than 40 no single supplement tours There are also more than 40 hand-picked tours across our classic touring collection, which have no single supplement places available. Stay closer to home with a nature-centred getaway to the Norwegian fjords, traverse the vineyards fringing the Douro River of Portugal, or marvel at the Inca treasures in Peru’s Sacred Valley. The availability is limited, but we’ve got no shortage of options for solo travellers to choose from, see our website for details of these.

Last year, I took my first-ever solo trip with Newmarket Holidays to Sicily. I was nervous, but they guided me through every step, and I met a fantastic group of people, some of whom have become close friends. We’re planning to go to Sardinia this year, and I’ll be reuniting with my friends for another unforgettable holiday. Lesley, Customer – A Snapshot of Western Sicily

Day Four Included full-day excursion to Aphrodisias and Nysa Once you’ve had breakfast, travel to two remarkable historical sites, UNESCO-listed Aphrodisias, which derives its name from the Greek goddess of love, and Nysa. Aphrodisias, which is famed for its well-preserved Roman architecture, marble quarries and sculpted features, is your first stop. Here, the Tetrapylon Gate will be a highlight with its four columned entrances that took around 150 years for sculptors to build. Visit the city’s magnificent stadium, which once seated almost 30,000 people, and amble around the nearby Temple of Aphrodite and the Aphrodisias Museum, where you can find a host of statues and relics. Continue to Nysa, another ancient city that provides further insight into the past with its Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine ruins. Connected by a late imperial Roman bridge, this site encompasses Roman baths, an agora and Turkey’s second-best preserved ancient library. The remains of the city walls can be seen here, and the town’s sprawling theatre is a stand-out structure, adorned in friezes depicting Dionysus, the god of the harvest and wine. Day Five Included visit to Teos and Sigacik Enjoy breakfast then embark on an adventure to the ancient city of Teos. Here, you’ll be led through the preserved ruins that date back to the 3rd millennium BC while learning about how it was a bustling port city and a significant hub for trade. During your visit, you’ll be shown around the Temple of Dionysus, with its towering columns (the largest temple of Dionysus in the ancient world), the bouleuterion (assembly or senate house), and the agora. Lastly, you’ll observe the harbour that was used back in Greek and Roman times. The next stop is nearby, Sigacik, a former fishing village, positioned on a small peninsula.

Roman Amphitheatre, Ephesus

Home to the ruins of a 16th-century Ottoman castle, Sigacik became a city and holiday resort in 2009. Today, it exudes a laid-back atmosphere, and you’ll be able to wander around the marina, take in the views of the Aegean Sea from the castle’s ramparts, and perhaps explore the local markets and small seafood restaurants. Later in the day, you’ll be dropped back at your hotel. Day Six Day at leisure Take it easy this morning with breakfast and a full day at leisure. If you’d like, why not explore further or relish some precious time by the poolside? Day Seven Included excursion to Ephesus, wine tasting in Sirince and a farewell dinner After breakfast, your final included excursion introduces historic Ephesus, one of the most important Roman and Byzantine cities. The remains, which include churches, bathhouses, fountains and temples, serve to reflect this greatness in breath-taking fashion. Amongst the ruins, the remains of Ephesus’ vast Roman Amphitheatre, the fabled Library of Celsus and the colonnade of the Arcadian Way are the stand-out highlights. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is an incredible sight too, with its imposing structure and complex works of art that adorn it. Later, visit the House of the Virgin Mary, a site of profound religious significance, which was rediscovered after following the reported visions of a Roman Catholic nun in the 19th century. A ‘wishing wall’ can be found outside of the house and a nearby well is believed to have miraculous powers of healing and fertility. The tour will then continue to Şirince, where traditional Ottoman houses line the pretty lanes, and vineyards dominate the surrounding landscapes. Here, you’ll stop to sample their unique fruit wines at a local restaurant, ahead of a farewell dinner with your fellow travellers later this evening. Day Eight Fly back to the UK Your final breakfast will be savoured before you’re transferred to Izmir airport for your flight back to the UK, following a trip of coastal and cultural encounters.

Your holiday essentials

Whether you’ve booked a holiday with us or you’re trying to decide where in the world to visit next, we’ve put together some essential information to help you before you travel. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, and we’ll be happy to assist.

before you go Passports & visas

The information provided below is a guide only. Newmarket Holidays cannot accept responsibility for entry or travel being refused due to the failure on the part of any customer to produce correct documentation. We recommend you check the UK Foreign Office website for the latest travel information and entry requirements for the destinations on your itinerary before you travel by visiting: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice Further information can be found at www.newmarketholidays.co.uk/about-us/faqs/passportand-visa-information and the Passport Office can be contacted on 0300 222 0000. Should you require assistance with a visa application for your tour, we have partnered with the Travel Visa Company who can help complete forms and deal directly with the embassies on your behalf. Note that they’ll make additional charges for their services dependent on the country and type of visa required. Simply visit www.thetravelvisacompany. co.uk/newmarket-holidays/?sup=NMH

For travel to Europe: Since Brexit, British passport holders travelling to countries in the EU (except Ireland), as well as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Monaco, or Vatican City, are subject to two main passport validity requirements, which are independent of each other. Customers must have a passport that: • 1. Was issued less than 10 years before the date they enter the country. • 2. Is valid for at least three months after the day they plan to leave (but still within the 10-year range). Find out more information on ABTA’s advice page www.abta.com/passports Following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, changes have been planned which affect the eligibility of citizens of the United Kingdom to have visa free travel to the EU: Entry/Exit System (EES) – this is a new digital border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of most European countries. When EES goes live, on your first entry to the EU, the new system will automatically collect travellers’ passport details, as well as biometric information (i.e. fingerprints and facial image). It will also replace the stamping of passports at the border with electronic recordings of entries, exits and refusals of entry. At the time of going to print, the EES scheme was due to start in October 2025 with phased implementation leading to full roll out from 10 April 2026. The latest information can be found at www.travel-europe.europa.eu/ees_en European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) – this is a new entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of the European Union and Schengen counties. The ETIAS system is not live yet (although is expected to start towards the end of 2026) - the latest information can be found at www.etias.com We recommend keeping yourself updated on the planned commencement date for both EES and ETIAS and, once live (and if applicable to you), ensure you are familiar with the process and apply for your ETIAS in good time prior to travel. Please note: Citizens of other countries (including Irish passport holders) should check entry visa requirements before making a booking. Children require their own passport.

For travel to USA & Canada: An electronic passport with an embedded chip, valid until your return to the UK, is required by all British citizens. If you’re unsure, please check with the Passport Office on 0300 222 0000. When travelling to the USA and/or Canada, action is required prior to travel. You should check your eligibility before booking your holiday. For travel to the USA, British citizens (and those from countries eligible to use the Visa Waiver Programme) MUST, as soon as you can, go to the ESTA (Electronic System for

Travel Authorisation) website at www.cbp.dhs.gov/esta This service currently costs $40 per person (but is subject to change without notice), payable online, and is valid for any number of visits to the USA within two years of its issue, as long as the passport remains valid. You’ll need to enter some basic information about your visit. This electronic information is then transmitted automatically to the authorities and is used as part of the entry procedure once you arrive in the USA. Canada follows a similar process, the eTA (Electronic Travel Authority), and you should apply at www.canada.ca/eta This service costs currently costs $7 per person and is valid for any number of visits to Canada within five years of issue as long as the passport remains valid. On arrival, your photograph will be taken and your fingerprints scanned. Please note: If you’re travelling on a tour which includes both Canada and the USA, different rules apply. • If your tour flies first to the USA, you should apply for the US ESTA only – and NOT the Canadian eTA. • If your tour flies into Canada, you should apply for both the Canadian eTA and US ESTA. • Passengers travelling on cruises, which involve a combination of USA and Canadian ports may be required to apply for both the US ESTA and Canadian eTA. This will be advised prior to travel.

For travel to the rest of the world: Visas are required by British citizens travelling to many of the countries included on our tour itineraries and must be applied for, prior to departure. We’ll send you details of how to apply for your visa about eight weeks prior to travel. But we also recommend you check the UK Foreign Office website for the latest travel information and entry requirements for the destinations on your itinerary by visiting: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice Further information can be found at www. newmarketholidays.co.uk/about-us/faqs/passportand-visa-information and the Passport Office can be contacted on 0300 222 0000.

Holiday insurance

It’s a condition of booking that you have adequate travel insurance for the destinations and activities involved. We strongly advise that you take out adequate cover from the point at which you make your booking and pay your deposit to cover you in case you need to cancel for medical reasons. You are free to choose your own travel insurance provider, but we recommend Holiday Extras who provide a wide range of products, competitive prices and great service. You can view their rates and book your insurance online by visiting www.holidayextras.com/ newmarketholidays/insurance or they can be contacted on 0800 458 9216 quoting reference V7812. If you have any concerns or if you have suffered from a serious medical condition recently, it’s suggested that you consult your GP about your fitness to travel about 12 weeks prior to your holiday departure date.

Health matters

We recommend you consult your GP for any suggested vaccinations for your destination, based on your own medical needs. Sensible prevention measures, such as highfactor sun protection, insect-repellent sprays and drinking bottled mineral water are also advised. We recommend leaving contact lenses at home and using glasses due to increased dust in the air in some areas, and on flights. Find travel health advice for destinations worldwide by visiting www.travelhealthpro.org.uk/index.php

Assisted Travel

We strive to give all customers our full care and attention, but we do need to know at the time of booking if there are any special needs or requirements. It’s particularly important that we’re advised of any disabilities and if you intend to bring any specialist equipment, such as a wheelchair, with you. Most of our tours involve some walking, including from the coach parking area to the local town or attraction being visited. In some destinations, there are cobbled streets and steep hills. If you have any accessibility needs, we’d recommend you speak to our Specials Assistance Specialists on 0333 344 2198 who

Book online: newmarketholidays.co.uk

can ensure that the tour you’ve chosen is right for you, and we can discuss the itinerary with you in detail.

Money matters

Credit cards and debit cards are accepted virtually everywhere, but don’t forget to inform your bank if you intend to use cash machines while away. Take some cash for use on arrival – we normally find the best rates are available at the post office, supermarkets and online. Some people ask how much currency they’ll need, but that depends on you! How much do you eat and where do you want to eat; how many souvenirs or presents do you wish to bring back? Our suggestion is to change a little at a time. We also recommend a pre-paid Money Travel Card a cheap and safe way to spend money abroad. Beyond Euros and Dollars, all required currency for our Worldwide holidays can be readily purchased at UK banks and airports, except for Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupee and Cambodian Riel, which should be purchased upon arrival at your destination. Hotels and airports all generally have exchange facilities. You can use cash machines to withdraw cash now generally anywhere in the world, although our experience says this is more likely to work in larger cities.

Flexible arrangements

On some tours, we’re able to offer upgrades and flexible flight arrangements should you wish to stay on for a few days’ relaxation after your tour or maybe visit friends and family. Let us know what your plans are, and we’d be happy to quote. Alternatively, some holidays can be arranged without flights provided you join and leave the tour at a pre-agreed point, usually the first and last hotels, and within the time restraints of the main group. We’re unable to tailor-make other land arrangements before and after the tour for you. Our tour arrangements are made well in advance and in rare circumstances, contractual reasons or simple demand means we may have to make changes or even cancel specific departure dates. We cannot be responsible for costs for any additional items like flights or hotels you may have booked yourself in conjunction with the tour.

your journey Your flights

Domestic flights in the UK & Ireland When flying domestically within the United Kingdom, your airline requires valid photo identification to travel. The form of ID changes between airlines and therefore you should check before travel. We recommend a valid UK passport. When flying to the Republic of Ireland, a valid full UK passport is required for entry.

Flights with Ryanair Some of our holidays use flights with Ryanair, which require check-in online before you travel. Failure to do so will result in you being charged at your departure airport for check-in services. More information can be found at www.ryanair.com

European flight & rail seats Our European-flight inclusive tours may operate on airlines that charge for seating. Details explaining how to book seats directly with the airline can be found here www.newmarketholidays.co.uk/about-us/faqs/flightinformation On rail-inclusive journeys, we always endeavour to book seats located together, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Flights to the USA & Canada Your holiday includes flights as detailed in Economy Class. As a very general guide, flights to the East Coast take around eight hours and to the West between nine and 11 hours. Meals will be served - usually lunch and a snack on outbound flights and dinner and breakfast on your return flight. Some airlines will charge for alcoholic drinks. Your seats on the flight will usually be allocated by the airline who’ll make every effort to ensure you’re seated with your travelling companions. Some airlines now charge for allocated seating in Economy Class and, as you’re travelling on a group booking, this cannot be actioned very close to travel. Where available, details explaining how to book your seating directly with the airline will be sent with your final paperwork, and unfortunately, we’re unable to assist any sooner than this. All airlines are now required by laws introduced in the USA and other countries to give border-control agencies access to passenger data. Accordingly, any information we hold about you and your travel arrangements may be disclosed

to the customs and immigration authorities of any country in your itinerary.

Flights to other Worldwide destinations

night. We’re proud of the hotels used throughout our tours, all of which are carefully selected. You can find further details about the hotels we use within the tour pages on our website. On occasions, for operational reasons, we may need to use alternative properties, which will always be of at least the same standard and in similar locations.

We work with some of the world’s most reputable airlines and all flights include spacious, ergonomic seating in the Economy cabin, usually two complimentary meals enroute (appropriate to the time of day), as well as drinks throughout the flight. You’ll find seat-back video with a choice of films, TV and music channels to help keep you entertained throughout the flight.

It’s not usually standard for rooms to have tea & coffee making facilities in the rooms, so if your morning cuppa is important to you, we recommend you bring a small travel kettle. Please let us know of any special requests at the time of booking, such as adjoining guestrooms, high or low floor. We’ll do our best to oblige but no guarantee can be made.

Your seats on the flight will usually be allocated by the airline who’ll make every effort to ensure you’re seated with your travelling companions. Some airlines now charge for allocated seating in Economy Class and, as you’re travelling on a group booking, this cannot be actioned until very close to travel. Where available, details explaining how to book your seating directly with the airline will be sent with your final paperwork. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide help with flight seating before your final travel documents are produced.

Some facilities advertised at the hotels may not be available at certain times. Outdoor swimming pools and air conditioning are subject to weather conditions, and it will be the decision of each individual hotelier as to when these facilities are available.

From time to time, an advertised airline may be changed due to reasons beyond our control.

Internal and regional flights in India, Africa, China and Latin America, on the tours shown in this brochure, are operated by state-regulated private airlines. The onboard service is limited, and all airlines operate modern, western type aircrafts usually built by Airbus, Embraer or Boeing. Airports throughout India are usually modern with all the usual facilities.

Luggage

You’re permitted to check-in* one suitcase per person, but weight and dimension limits will apply as luggage allowance varies by airline. We ask that you don’t exceed one suitcase per person (with a maximum weight of 20kgs) as space on the coach when you arrive at your destination may be limited. Keep your passport, important documents, and any important medication in your hand luggage and, for your own comfort, do try to minimise the amount you take into the aircraft cabin. We’ll send you up-to-date information about your hold and hand baggage allowance, and what you can and can’t carry in it, just prior to your departure. * Checked-in luggage allowance does not apply to our Christmas market breaks and Lapland day trips, which instead include the airline’s base level hand luggage allowance.

Avoiding jet lag

When visiting a destination located in a different time zone, jet lag can be experienced. To minimise the effects, drink plenty of water prior to and during your flight. Most UK airports now have water re-filling stations, so we recommend you take your reusable bottle with you. We’d also recommend a good night’s sleep prior to your flight. Avoid too much alcohol and caffeine during your flight and do try to rest. On arrival, take an easy walk or a swim on arrival and avoiding sleep prior to nighttime in the country you’ve arrived in. The next morning, do your best to rise at a time appropriate to the locality. Avoid sleeping in as it will take your body longer to adjust to the difference in time. On a return flight from the USA or Canada, with a morning UK arrival, we recommend a short sleep but do then get up and try to remain awake until your normal bedtime. By the following morning, it’s likely you’ll be back in your own time zone. On a return flight from the East, it’s generally easier to adjust as you’ll be naturally tired by the reverse time difference. Try to sleep at normal UK bedtime and by the following morning, it’s likely you will be back in your own time zone.

your holiday

Service with a smile

Our friendly, experienced Tour Managers are on hand to ensure you make the very most of your time away. The majority are local to your destination, and all our tour managers have a passion for the country you’re visiting and will be able to assist with any questions you may have. Upon arrival at your destination arrival point, you’ll be welcomed by a Newmarket Holidays representative and shown to your onward transport. Usually this will be your dedicated Tour Manager, but on some occasions, this may not always be possible, and instead, a driver will meet you.

Hotels & meals

There’s no doubt, especially on a holiday that involves travelling and sightseeing, that a good quality hotel is important, which is why we spend so much time carefully selecting the places you’ll stay – even if it’s only for one

Hotels on UK, Ireland & European tours Check-in time is normally no earlier than 3pm. Unless otherwise stated, the advertised price of the holiday applies to each of two people sharing a room. The majority of rooms are twin-bedded. Double beds can be requested but are not guaranteed. Most hotels have single rooms (although availability is limited) and a supplement is usually charged. The third and fourth bed in triple and four bedded rooms are usually only suitable for children. It is standard practice for rooms to be vacated by 12 noon and sometimes earlier. Where your departure is later, it may be possible to keep the room longer - your Tour Manager will give you assistance and advise of any extra charge that would be made. All our UK, Ireland and European hotels will either have their own restaurant or be near to a choice of places to eat out. Unless otherwise stated, breakfast is provided on all our UK, Ireland and European escorted tours. Usually this is a continental buffet-style breakfast to get you ready to start a busy day of touring and exploration. Continental style usually means rolls/croissants, jam, tea or coffee. On tours where other meals are not included, you can always rely on your Tour Manager to point you in the direction of a suitable restaurant. If you’re on an included or optional excursion over lunch time, we’ll always try to make an appropriate stop. If you have any special dietary needs, please send in full details, quoting your six-character booking reference, as soon as you receive your booking confirmation. We will pass your requests to the hotelier who will do their best to cater for you. Please be aware that vegetarianism and gluten free diets are not as commonplace in some parts of the world as they are here in the UK, so choices may be limited. If you have a late arrival at your destination, the hotel kitchen may be closed. In these instances, we’ll do our best to arrange a cold plate for you, however service provisions do vary and therefore this cannot be guaranteed. If you have an early departure from your hotel on your final day, you may be provided with a boxed breakfast if the kitchen is not open. When staying in Italy, the authentic dining experience can often be a bit different to the Italian food that international tourists might be used to, but it’s one of the best ways to truly appreciate the finer cultural differences of this tourist hotspot. For example, a typical three-course dinner may consist of a traditional pasta or soup, a main meat or fish course accompanied by one or two types of vegetable and a simple dessert of fruit, cake or Italian ice cream. Some hotels across Europe have introduced a room tax of between €1.00 and €3.00 per person per night, payable directly by the guest to the hotel on check-out. You will be advised by your tour manager in resort if your particular hotel(s) is implementing this charge.

Hotels on USA & Canada tours The hotels used throughout our USA & Canada tours usually meet a standard typical of a good three-star level in Europe. Check-in time to hotels is usually not before 3pm. Guestrooms are generally larger than in Europe and each usually have, at least, a coffee maker, a telephone and a TV. There’ll usually be a bar or restaurant on site or nearby. Guestrooms have two double beds or one king-size bed and, should you wish for three or four people to occupy a room, this will usually be within the existing two beds. Guestrooms with three separate beds cannot be provided in North America. Single rooms will generally have one bed. It’s usual for guestrooms to be vacated by 12 noon. Where your departure is later, it may be possible to keep the room longer, but this will be at the hotel’s discretion. Your Tour Manager will give you assistance and advise of any extra charge that may be applicable. Our North American tours don’t generally include meals, as is the standard practice for escorted tour to the USA & Canada. Many people use hotel restaurants for breakfast, while others may use nearby diners. The same goes for dinner, especially when in cities where the choices can

be endless. In more rural areas, hotels usually have their own restaurant. At lunch time, we’ll always try to make an appropriate stop – and your Tour Manager will always help with choices for you. Please note that hotels in Las Vegas do not usually have tea/coffee making facilities in guest rooms so a travel kettle would be handy; though you’ll always find plenty of nearby choices for your morning cuppa.

Hotels on Worldwide tours Chosen for a combination of location, welcome, comfort, and the opportunity to rest and relax, the hotels selected for our worldwide touring are of an excellent standard and offer a range of modern conveniences and usually a choice of regional and international cuisine. In India and Sri Lanka our hotel partners are long-standing. All hotels have a swimming pool and there are usually generous gardens and lounge areas in which to relax. There will be a bar and restaurants where all meals are usually taken buffet style, ensuring plenty of choice for everyone from traditional Indian through to European offerings. Guest rooms will all have TV and coffee maker and are often individually styled and decorated. The maximum occupancy for rooms is usually two people. In destinations such as Japan, travellers may find hotel rooms more compact than in many European cities — a reflection of the country’s high population density, thoughtful spaceefficient design, and urban planning restrictions. When travelling to remote and eco-conscious destinations, accommodations may be intentionally simple to blend harmoniously with the natural environment. While luxury here is measured in starlit skies and untouched landscapes, cleanliness and comfort are never compromised. Every guest is guaranteed a private en-suite bathroom and a clean, thoughtfully prepared space, ensuring your experience remains both authentic and refreshing. Accommodation on our African safaris is always of the highest standard. When we offer tented camp-style stays, it is not a compromise — it’s an intentional, immersive way to connect more deeply with the African wilderness. These camps bring you closer to nature, while still delivering the comfort, elegance, and attention to detail you’d expect from a luxury safari experience. With beautifully appointed interiors, private en-suite bathrooms, and stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, our tented camps offer a different and unforgettable - way to experience the magic of Africa.

Enjoying your stay

When travelling overseas, it’s always wise to take simple and sensible precautions. Never drink water that is not bottled. Even then, make sure the seal is intact. Try to always eat cooked food, served hot and avoid salad or cold food. Eat fruit which must be peeled first. Take a hand sanitiser to use frequently and before you eat. Take sun block if you’re travelling to a hot destination. Mosquito bites are common, especially after dark and can make a trip miserable. Cover up and use a readily available repellent spray or cream. Also, we recommend you take your favourite brands of medication for general ailments such as a headache or stomach upset and some sticking plasters just in case - after all, holiday time is precious!

Tipping

A gratuity is an accepted form of appreciation and works differently from country to country. Do use your own discretion to tip for good service and do rely on the Tour Manager for advice. It’s also customary to tip your Tour Manager if you’re happy with their service! Gratuities are a way of life in North America, and it’s generally accepted that they form part of a person’s earnings – to the extent that an assumed amount of income tax is paid. That aside, tips will also ensure excellent service. Customary gratuity to a coach driver or Tour Manager is about $5 per person per day. In a taxi or a restaurant, leave 12-15% of the bill and in the bar, a dollar or so per drink if a service charge has not already been added to the bill. In China and India, we now include some tips to cover the services of railway station, airport, restaurant and hotel bell staff. In South Africa and Costa Rica, it’s customary to tip around 10% when paying in restaurants and do check as, in some cases, it may have been added to the bill already.

Helicopter flights

Sightseeing flights by helicopter are weight controlled and balanced. If your weight exceeds 300lbs, you must advise us. As a seat may have to be left empty, some companies may charge a premium.

Smoking

Please note that e-cigarettes cannot be purchased in or taken into many countries across Asia and the Indian Sub-Continent.

Please spend some time reading them carefully, and please feel free to contact us should anything be unclear.

A. Your contract with us 1. Your booking

Your booking, once accepted and confirmed in writing to you by our issuing a confirmation invoice to the person who makes the booking (Lead Name), forms a contract between all persons named on the booking (who will be listed on the booking confirmation) and Newmarket Holidays Limited (Company). The confirmation invoice will be sent to the Lead Name or your travel agent. In these booking conditions, you and your means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them, as the context requires. We, us and our means Newmarket Holidays Limited. References to departure are to the start date of the arrangements we have contracted to provide. When you make a holiday booking, the Lead Name guarantees that he/she has the authority to accept and does accept on behalf of all members of your party (party members) the terms of these booking conditions. The contract is based on the information given in our brochure or on our website (newmarketholidays.co.uk) and these booking conditions. We both agree that English law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (claim) except as set out below. We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not involving personal injury) must be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the courts of your home country or those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and claim governed by the law of Scotland/ Northern Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply). We do not accept bookings from any unaccompanied customers under the age of 18. Except for flight inclusive bookings, all monies you pay to one of our authorised travel agents for your holiday with us will be held by the agent on your behalf until a contract between us comes into existence. After that point, your agent will hold the monies on our behalf until they are paid to us. For flight inclusive bookings, all monies paid to any authorised travel agent of ours for your holiday with us will be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust subject to the travel agent’s obligation to pay such monies to us in accordance with our trading terms unless we fail. In the unlikely event of our financial failure, all monies then held by the travel agent or subsequently paid by you to the travel agent will be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation on the agent to pay such monies to us. Group bookings: For bookings of ten or more passengers travelling on a single booking, we will only deal with the Lead Name and not with each individual on the booking. Payments must be made by the Lead Name only and not by individuals on the booking. The deposit and final payment must be paid via bank transfer only. If you wish to, you may contact us by e-mail for any of the reasons mentioned in these booking conditions (for example, to request an amendment) providing you do so to customerservices@newmarketholidays.co.uk. Any authorised travel agent of ours through whom you make a booking will relay information from you to us and vice versa. If you book via an authorised travel agent, we will only deal with your travel agent. For the purposes of compliance with time limits or limitation periods as set out or referred to in these booking conditions, receipt by an authorised

travel agent of message, requests or complaints intended for us will be treated as receipt by us. However, we are not responsible for any advice given to you by your travel agent that did not originate from us.

2. Your payment Your booking confirmation will include an invoice showing the deposit paid and the final balance due (if full payment is not made at the time of booking). The outstanding amount must be received by us by the due date shown on the confirmation. We will remind you, but should we not receive payment in full by this date, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your travel arrangements, in which case you will be liable to pay the cancellation charges shown in the scale set out in clause 4 of this section (Cancellation by you) below. If you book within 90 days of departure, full payment must be made when you book. Should you wish to upgrade your flight after your initial booking is made, we may require an additional deposit to be paid at the time of confirmation of that change. N.B. 1: The Lead Name makes their booking in accordance with and subject to these booking conditions and on the understanding that the information they are asked to provide is a requirement of the contract between us. The Lead Name becomes directly responsible to the Company for the payment of the total holiday price and, if applicable and where appropriate, for any cancellation charges which become payable and payment of any funds to the party member(s) entitled to them. The Lead Name does so on behalf of all party members and is responsible for ensuring that all personal data provided to us is accurate. The Lead Name is also responsible for ensuring that all party members are aware of, and agree to, these booking conditions and that they consent to the Lead Name acting on their behalf in relation to their booking. The Lead Name will be liable to the Company for any costs incurred by the Company as a result of any failure by any party member to comply with any necessary requirements applicable to making the booking or taking the holiday. This includes, without limitation and by way of example only, obtaining any required visa(s) or vaccination(s) and complying with any other entry requirement(s). In addition, you must not travel (or attempt to travel) with a passport which does not meet the applicable requirement(s) for entry into all or any country(ies) on the booked trip. The Company will deal exclusively with the Lead Name person on the booking.

3. Alterations to your booking by you If you want to change any of the details of your confirmed booking, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. We will always do our best to help. Where a requested change can be made, the following amendment charges and costs will be payable: •C hange of name – £50 per person plus supplier costs •T ransfer to another departure date or holiday prior to balance due date – £75 per person plus supplier costs •T ransfer to another departure date or holiday after balance due date – Cancellation charges will apply in respect of the original booking plus cost of new booking •C ancellation by one or more person on the booking – cancellation charges apply. See clause 4 Cancellation by you, below, for details. You may transfer your booking or your place on the booking to someone else (introduced by you) without payment of our cancellation charges providing the request for the transfer is made in writing not less than 7 days before departure. The person(s) to whom you wish to make the transfer must also satisfy all conditions (if any) which form part of your contract with us. Requests for transfer must be accompanied by the name and other applicable details of the replacement person(s). Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers, together with an amendment fee of £50 per person, must be paid before the transfer can be effected. All amendments must be notified to us in writing by post, by telephone (confirmed in writing) or by email to customerservices@newmarketholidays.co.uk by the person who made the original booking. N.B. 2: Where any change is made to a booking at any time after booking which includes flights, additional charges are likely to be payable to cover, without limitation, the charges applied by the airline/our suppliers

Book online: newmarketholidays.co.uk

to make the change and these charges will be passed onto you before the change is made.

4. Cancellation by you You may cancel your booking or part of it once it has been confirmed at any time before departure. You may also transfer your booking or your place on the booking as referred to in clause 3 above. A cancellation will only be effective if made in writing and sent by email direct to the Company or through the travel agent with whom you made your booking or by telephone to our Customer Service team, having answered the required security questions. If the cancellation results in a person travelling alone or no longer sharing a room, a single room supplement will be payable. This does not form a part of the cancellation charge. The amount payable on cancellation depends on when we receive your instruction to cancel and how far ahead of departure this is - the more notice you give, the less we will generally charge. In calculating our cancellation charges, we have taken account of possible cost savings and the generation of income from other bookings which may be able to utilise cancelled services to the extent this is likely to be achievable. The different periods before your departure date within which instructions are received by the Company and the amount of the cancellation charge (shown where applicable as a percentage of the total holiday price excluding previously incurred amendment charges and cancellation fees which will be retained) are as follows: Prior to Balance Due date*

Deposit retained by Company

Balance Due Date - 56 days before departure

35% or deposit paid if greater than 35%

55 – 49 days before departure

50%

48 – 35 days before departure

75%

34 – 16 days before departure

90%

15 days or less before departure (inc on or after scheduled departure date)

100%

N.B. 3: If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of an insurance policy which covers your holiday, you may be able to reclaim these charges less any applicable excess from the insurer. You must though pay the charges first and then reclaim them from your insurer. You can cancel your booking before departure without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your holiday, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at the place of destination. In such circumstances, on receiving your written notification that you wish to terminate your contract, we will arrange for you to receive a full refund or transfer to another holiday without incurring any administration change fees applied by the Company. No compensation or expenses will be paid in addition. * See clause 2 Your Payment in this section.

5. Complaints & claims procedure In the unlikely event that you have problems or reason to complain whilst on holiday, you MUST report the matter to the hotel or other supplier and, where there is one, our representative IMMEDIATELY during your holiday. The issue can then be promptly investigated and, where appropriate, steps taken to resolve the situation. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to our representative or, if we don’t have a representative for your holiday, the supplier of the service(s) in question as soon as possible. You must follow up any complaint or notification made during your holiday in writing to our UK customer experience department (customerexperience@ newmarketholidays.co.uk) within twenty eight days of your return from holiday. We operate a strict code of conduct and take any complaints received seriously. If you fail to follow the requirement to report your complaint or problem whilst on holiday, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify it during your holiday. This may affect your rights under your contract, including any entitlement you may otherwise have had to claim compensation.

6. Your travelling conditions Where the holiday you have booked involves or includes you travelling by air, land or sea, such travel will be subject to the terms and conditions of carriage of the airline, ferry, cruise line, rail operator or coach company, as applicable, providing that transport. In most cases, those terms and conditions will limit the carrier’s liability to you in accordance with the relevant applicable law (including in particular, applicable international conventions and EU regulations). Should anyone be refused boarding on the transport concerned, or entry into the destination country by any transport operator

or government authority, we may be unable to assist and cannot be held responsible for the effect this may have on your holiday arrangements. This includes the situation where any passenger fails to advise us of any medical condition or disability which affects or is likely to affect their holiday at all or in sufficient time before departure to enable us to make any necessary arrangements. This may include (but not limited to) requests for assisted travel in flight or visa requirements. If you are prevented from travelling or unable to travel as a result, our responsibility for your holiday will cease. Full cancellation charges will apply and we will be under no obligation to provide any refund or compensation or to meet any loss or expense you may incur. In these circumstances, we will, however, provide you with appropriate assistance without undue delay in the form of information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance and help with making distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements.

B. Our contract with you 1. Our confirmation of your booking When we have received your booking and deposit (or full payment where applicable), we will send a Confirmation Invoice to the Lead Name within 24 hours which details exactly what is booked for you. Please check this Confirmation Invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the Confirmation Invoice or any other document looks to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracies (for which we are responsible) in any document within 10 days of our sending it out (5 days for Departure Documents). We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in our doing so. From the moment we issue your Confirmation Invoice, we have accepted your booking on the terms set out in these booking conditions.

2. The price of your holiday Once we have confirmed your booking by issuing a Confirmation Invoice, we guarantee we will not change the price of your holiday, except in the case of a pricing error as referred to in clause 4 Pricing Errors below. The country you travel to or the accommodation you stay in may require you to pay fees or charges locally. Where applicable, we will use best endeavours to inform you of any such fees or charges when we are made aware of them.

3. Pricing errors We try hard to ensure that advertised prices are up to date and accurately reflect the amount you will pay when you book. However, prices can change and errors can occasionally occur. We reserve the right to change and correct advertised prices at any time before your booking is confirmed. In the event of your Confirmation Invoice showing an incorrect price for your holiday, the price that will apply is the price shown in our offline reservation system. Accordingly, you cannot seek to rely on any system error with a view to obtaining a holiday at less than the correct price. Any contract entered into or apparently entered into on the basis of a mistake, such as incorrect pricing due to a system error, will not be valid or binding. We will notify you of any incorrect information, such as a pricing error, as soon as we become aware of that error. You will then have the choice of proceeding with the booking on the basis of the correct price or cancelling your reservation request and receiving a full refund of all payments made to us.

4. Data Protection To make, confirm and process your booking, we need to collect personal data for all persons named on the booking. We reserve the right to process, store and share the personal data we collect with our suppliers and other third parties as we consider necessary to fulfil the contract between us and to comply with applicable law. To find out more about how we use and protect your personal data, log on to newmarketholidays.co.uk/privacy

5. Alteration and cancellation by us (1) Changes to confirmed bookings sometimes have to be made as we plan holidays many months in advance, and we reserve the right to do so. Most alterations will be insignificant and we have the right to make these. No compensation is payable for insignificant alterations which do not entitle you to cancel or make a change change to any other arrangements. Where circumstances permit, we will advise of any insignificant changes as soon as we are made aware. Examples of insignificant changes include but are not limited to: • Airline carrier • Flight departure time (outbound or inbound) by less than 12 hours • Type of aircraft

• Departure airport (providing the new departure airport is within 70 miles of the original departure airport) • Destination airport • Change from direct to indirect flight (providing the arrival time is within 12 hours from the original time) • Change of accommodation to the same standard and same location (except in the case of a “touring” hotel) • Withdrawal of a hotel facility which is outside of our control and will not impact on the tour • Cancellation of an optional excursion • Itinerary change Occasionally, before departure, we may be constrained by circumstances beyond our control to make a significant alteration to any of the main characteristics of the travel services which form part of your confirmed booking or to any special requirements. We will advise you of any significant changes as soon as we are made aware of them. Examples of significant changes include but are not limited to: • Flight departure or arrival time of more than 12 hours • Change of resort/location area • Hotel downgrade (lower official classification) If a significant change is necessary, (as defined by Schedule 1 of the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018), we will always do our best to provide a suitable alternative. You will then have the choice if either accepting the revised arrangements, (we will refund any price difference if the price is lower than the original price), purchasing another available holiday from us at the current prevailing price. Or cancelling your booking with a full refund. We will process your refund within 14 days and we will send you a Cancellation Invoice. Your contract with us is then terminated. No compensation is applicable. If we do not receive a decision from you within a specified period, (having you chased you once), we will cancel your booking and the foregoing will apply. (2) All group holidays require a minimum number of bookings to enable us to operate them. We reserve the right to cancel any holiday where this minimum number is not achieved. Failure to achieve this minimum number does not, however, oblige us to cancel. We will notify you of any cancellation for this reason no later than the date at which the full cost of your holiday is payable. (3) Occasionally, it may be necessary to cancel a confirmed booking. We have the right to terminate your contract in the event (i) we are prevented from performing your contracted holiday arrangements as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances and we notify you of this as soon as reasonably possible or (ii) (where applicable) we have to cancel because the minimum number of bookings necessary for us to operate your group holiday has not been achieved. Where we have to cancel your booking in these circumstances, we will refund all monies you have paid to us within 14 days of the effective date of cancellation. We will have no further or other liability to you and we will not pay you compensation or any costs or expenses you incur or have incurred as a result, including any costs associated with your booking but booked with a third party. We will of course endeavour to offer you alternative holiday arrangements where possible which you may choose to book (at the applicable price) in place of those cancelled. We also have the right to cancel if you fail to make payment in accordance with the terms of your contract in which case clause 4 of section A Cancellation by You will apply.

6. Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances In the event that unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see clause 6 below) occur in the place of destination of your holiday and significantly affect the performance of the contracted arrangements or the carriage of passengers to or from that destination, you will be entitled to cancel prior to departure without payment of cancellation charges and receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us (except for any previously incurred amendment or cancellation charges). Where applicable, you must notify us of your wish to cancel for this reason in writing. Providing we are in agreement that you are entitled to do so in accordance with this clause, we will send you a cancellation invoice to confirm the cancellation. Any refund then due will be paid within 14 days. We will notify you as soon as practicable should this situation occur. You will not be entitled to any compensation. Please note, a full refund entitlement only arises where we are prevented from performing your contracted holiday arrangements because of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. You may not be entitled to a full refund and cancellation charges are likely to apply where such circumstances affect your ability to travel on your holiday rather than our ability to perform or provide the contracted arrangements. The issue of advice or recommendations against travel by public authorities (such as the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) does not automatically

mean we are prevented from performing your holiday arrangements but may instead affect your ability to travel. Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by, or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense of any nature as a result of, unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In these booking conditions, unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances means a situation which is beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such situations are likely to include, but or not limited to (whether actual or threatened): • War, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute • Natural disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire, flood, river water levels, volcanic activity • An outbreak of serious illness at your holiday destination • closure, restriction or congestion of airports, other transport hubs or airspace, flight restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority or other third party • Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances also include any epidemic or pandemic and any resultant impact on travel.

7. Our complaints procedure Newmarket Holidays Ltd is a member of ABTA with membership number V7812. ABTA members help holidaymakers to get the most from their travel and assist them when things do not go according to plan. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s alternative dispute resolution scheme (ABTA ADR) which is run by ABTA and approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute and the ABTA arbitration scheme (ABTA Arbitration). In the unlikely event you have any reason to complain or may have a basis for making a claim in respect of any aspect of your holiday arrangements, you must immediately inform your Tour Manager and, where appropriate, the supplier of the service(s) in question. The issue can then be promptly investigated and steps taken to resolve the situation. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to your Tour Manager as soon as possible. If the situation is not resolved to your satisfaction within a reasonable time, you must also contact us in the UK as soon as possible. You will be provided with contact details to enable you to do so before you go on holiday. Until we know about a complaint or problem, we cannot begin to resolve it. Most issues can be dealt with quickly. In the event a complaint or problem is not resolved to your satisfaction locally and you wish to pursue the matter, you should contact us in writing with full details within 28 days of your return from the holiday. If you fail to follow the simple procedure set out above, we are unlikely to be in a position to properly investigate the matter and may have been deprived of the opportunity to remedy it during your holiday. Your right to claim any compensation you may otherwise have been entitled to may be affected or even lost as a result. We can normally agree an amicable settlement of the few complaints we receive. However, if we cannot reach an amicable settlement, we both agree that any claim must be dealt with by ABTA ADR or by ABTA Arbitration (if available for the claim in question and you wish to use either or both options) or by the courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the courts of your home country or those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and claim governed by the law of Scotland/Northern Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply). For more information on ABTA ADR and ABTA Arbitration, go to www.abta.com.

8. Your behaviour When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss you cause. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier or to us as soon as possible. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises.

Call us on: 0303 330 0908

If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any person in authority, your behaviour or actions is such as to jeopardise or to be reasonably likely to jeopardise the safety of or cause damage to an aircraft or danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to any property or goods or to adversely affect good order and discipline on board or to cause a delay or diversion to any aircraft or other transportation, we reserve the right to terminate the holiday arrangements of the person(s) involved immediately. In the event of such termination, our responsibilities to such persons will cease and you will be required to leave your accommodation or other service immediately. We will have no further obligations to you (including in respect of any return travel arrangements) and will not meet any expenses, costs or losses incurred as a result. You may also be required to pay for any loss and/or damage caused by your actions directly to the applicable supplier prior to departure from the service. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims and costs subsequently made against us as a result.

C. Our responsibility for your holiday 1. Your holiday ((1) We promise to make sure that the holiday arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these booking conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury, or your contracted holiday arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted holiday arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers). (2) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example, loss of enjoyment or loss of possessions), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any nature or description whatsoever which results from any of the following:a. t he act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected; or b. the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or c. u navoidable and extraordinary circumstances as defined in clause 7 of section B above. (3) We cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us in our brochure or on our website and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract and any excursion or activities you purchase during your holiday. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you. (4) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract, and the laws and applicable local standards of the country in which your claim occurred, will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. If the particular services which give rise to the claim were provided in compliance with the applicable local laws and standards, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and standards of the UK which would have applied had those services been provided in the UK. The exception to this is where the claim concerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable holidaymaker to refuse to take the holiday in question. Please note, however, our obligation is to exercise reasonable skill and care as referred to in clause 1(1) of this section C. We do not make any representation or commitment that all services will comply with applicable local laws and standards and failure to comply does not automatically mean we have not exercised reasonable skill and care. (5) Except as set out in clause 1(6) of this section C below or as otherwise permitted by English law, we do not limit the amount of damages you are entitled to claim in respect of personal injury or death which we or our employees have caused intentionally or negligently. For all other claims, if we

are found liable to you on any basis, the maximum amount we will have to pay you is three times the total holiday cost (excluding any insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total, unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under clause 1(6) of this section C below. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your holiday.

booking and we will make reasonable adjustments to the content and delivery of our tour where we are practically able to. However, there may be occasions where we are unable to accept your booking. If you make a booking and fail to tell us about your requirements which we are subsequently made aware of, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and you may be liable for cancellation charges.

(6) Where any claim concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including without limitation, the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea or rail carrier to which any international convention or EU regulation applies where we have arranged that travel as part of our contract, our liability (including the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you, the types of claim and the circumstances in which damages / compensation will be payable) will be limited as if we were the carrier in question as referred to in this clause 1(6). The most we will have to pay you for that claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier concerned would have to pay you under the applicable international convention(s) or EU regulation(s) which applies to the travel arrangements in question. Such conventions and regulations include the Warsaw Convention as amended or unamended and the Montreal Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air 1999 for international travel by air and/or for airlines with an operating licence granted by an EU country, the EC Regulation (EC) on Air Carrier Liability No 889/2002 on air carrier liability in the event of accidents for national and international travel by air, the Athens Convention relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea 1974 (as amended by the 2002 protocol) and Regulation (EC) No 392/2009 on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents, the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims as amended by the 1996 protocol and the Convention of 1980 concerning International Travel by Rail (COTIF) as amended and Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations. You may also have rights under regulation (EU) no 1177/2010 concerning the rights of passengers when travelling by sea and inland waterway or regulation (EC) no 1371/2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations. Where a carrier would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable international convention or EU regulation (including where any claim is not notified and issued in accordance with the stipulated time limits), we, similarly, are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim. When making any payment, we will deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the carrier for the claim in question. Copies of the applicable international conventions and EU regulations are available from us on request. Please note that strict time limits apply for notifying loss, damage or delay of luggage to the airline or ferry / cruise operator. Any proceedings in respect of any claim (including one for personal injury or death) must be brought within 2 years of the date stipulated in the applicable convention or EU regulation.

(c) We will give you assistance if you suffer illness, personal injury or death during the period of your holiday arising out of an activity which does not form part of the holiday arrangement booked with us or an excursion offered through us. This assistance will include advice and guidance only.

(7) We cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any nature or description which (a) on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (b) did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers or (c) relates to any business (including without limitation, loss of self-employed earnings).

2. Special Requests and Medical Conditions, Disabilities and Reduced Mobility (a) Special requests relating to your chosen holiday arrangements must be advised to us at the time of booking and confirmed to us in writing. Whilst we will try to meet or arrange any reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will or can be fulfilled. If we can specifically confirm a special request or requirement, we will do so on our Confirmation Invoice. Where any request or requirement has not been specifically confirmed in writing on our Confirmation Invoice, a failure to meet it will not be a breach of contract on our part. (b) Noting that many touring holidays require a certain amount of walking, if you or any member of your party suffers from any medical condition, disability or significant reduction in mobility which may affect your chosen arrangements, please provide us with full details in writing at the time of booking and before we issue our Confirmation Invoice. We will only provide precise information on the suitability of the trip taking account of your specific needs if you specifically request us to do so. We will do our best to accommodate any special requirements that you make us aware of at the point of

Book online: newmarketholidays.co.uk

(d) We take the safety and security of our customers extremely seriously. If the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel or all but essential travel to a particular country, we would act on that advice. However, we are sure you appreciate from press and television coverage that the political, economic and social conditions in many countries are not as stable as we are used to. Sadly, crimes against both people and their property are a fact of life the world over. When overseas, it is very important to be extra vigilant and avoid drawing attention to yourself by, for example, wearing expensive jewellery, carrying expensive camera and other equipment or not abiding by local customs etc. Travellers have the same responsibility for their personal safety and that of their possessions as they do at home. As situations in countries can change rapidly, you are recommended to visit the FCDO Travel Advice website at gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice for up-to-date information and advice regarding safety.

D. Before booking your holiday 1. Standards overseas and services not booked with us Newmarket Holidays operate to many parts of the world. It is the requirements and standards of the country(ies) to which you travel which will apply to the services which make up your holiday and not those of the UK. In many countries, standards will be lower than British health and safety or quality standards. We request that all hotels we use comply with the local regulations applicable in their country for health and safety standards, but we cannot guarantee that these will be the same as or comparable with British standards. If you plan to take part in any independent excursions, activities or tours, you must follow the agreed procedures for notifying us prior to departure. You must also ensure that you buy adequate insurance to cover you for all excursions, activities and tours, especially if you are taking part in highrisk activities. Please note that flights and other services which you do not book with or through us, including any independent excursions, activities or tours that you purchase separately, do not form part of your contract with us. Your contract for all such other services will be with the operator or provider of the service and not with us. We shall not be responsible or liable for the provision of any such service, excursion, activity or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator or provider. In the event of cancellation or alteration of the arrangements booked with us, we shall have no liability for any expenses, costs, losses or other sums of any nature which you or any person(s) named on the booking may incur relating to any services, excursions, activities or tours not booked with or through us.

2. Travel Insurance The importance of having insurance cover means we make it a condition of booking all holidays & breaks that you are covered by an appropriate insurance policy. We are delighted to be working with Holiday Extras, who are able to provide customers with fully comprehensive travel insurance. Failure to acquire a comprehensive travel insurance policy at the point of booking means you will loose your deposit payment should you find yourself unable to travel for medical or other insurable reasons. You also agree to indemnify Newmarket Holidays for any costs and expenses that arise which would otherwise have been met by a travel insurance policy had you purchased an appropriate one.

3. Financial Protection and Repatriation Newmarket Holidays Ltd holds ATOL number is 2325. When you buy an ATOL protected flight inclusive holiday from us, you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists the flight, accommodation, and/or other services that are 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 to your credit card issuer where applicable). For non-flight inclusive packages, the Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT) provides financial protection under The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 for Newmarket Holidays Limited (membership number 5509). In the event of the insolvency of Newmarket Holidays Limited, financial protection is provided by ABTOT for non-flight inclusive packages. ABTOT cover provides for a refund in the event you have not yet travelled or repatriation if transportation was included in the arrangements Newmarket Holidays Limited has contracted to provide. Please note that bookings made outside the UK are only protected by ABTOT when purchased directly from Newmarket Holidays Limited. In the unlikely event that you require assistance whilst abroad due to our financial failure, please call ABTOT’s 24/7 helpline on 01702 811397 and advise you are a customer of an ABTOT protected travel company. You can access The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 at legislation.gov.uk/ ukdsi/2018/9780111168479/contents You can find out more about ABTOT and the financial protection it provides at abtot.com

4. Passport, Visa and Health Requirements Compliance with the specific passport, visa and other entry requirements applicable to your chosen arrangements is your sole responsibility. You should confirm these with the embassies and/or consulates of the country(ies) to or through which you are planning to travel at the time of booking and in advance of departure. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel on your contracted travel arrangements or elsewhere because you have not complied with all applicable requirements. Travel to the European Union has changed since the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. You must ensure you have a minimum of six months validity from your return date on your passport and that your passport is less than ten years old on your date of departure. Before making a booking, you should check that you are able to meet and your own health requirements the destination country, such as specific vaccination requirements.

5. New European Union (EU) Entry / Exit system (EES) and European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) At the time of going to print, the EES scheme was due to start in October 2025 with phased implementation leading to full roll out from 10 April 2026. This is a new digital border system that will change requirements for British nationals travelling to the 26 European countries of the Schengen area. If you are travelling to a country in the Schengen area using a UK passport, you will be required to register your biometric details, such as fingerprints and/or a photo, when you arrive. EES registration will replace the current system of manually stamping passports when visitors arrive in the EU. When EES is introduced, you will need to create a digital record on your first visit to the Schengen area at border on arrival. You will be required to submit your fingerprints and have your photo taken at dedicated booths. You will not need to provide any information before travelling to a Schengen area country. If you are flying to a country in the Schengen area, you may experience longer queue times when you arrive at your destination. From late 2026 (exact date to be confirmed), British nationals arriving in the European Union will be required to be in possession of an ETIAS visa. The ETIAS visa is expected to cost 20 Euros per person and must be obtained before travel. We have partnered with the Travel Visa Company to support customers should it be required.

Important information The booking

Here is some useful information regarding our holidays. You may also wish to read through our FAQs at www. newmarketholidays.co.uk/about-us/faqs. Providing clear, correct information when making your booking is essential for it is from this information that we make your reservation and our contract with you. The person to whom all correspondence, invoices and joining instructions are to be sent should be entered as the first name on the Personal Details booking page. It is also their address and telephone number(s) that should be shown and it must be they who accept these booking conditions before completing an online booking. Full names of all persons travelling on the booking are required by airlines, insurance companies, hoteliers etc., so please be accurate. For holidays outside the UK, it is essential that these names match those on the passports. If any member of your party, such as newlyweds, changes their name between booking their holiday and travelling, it is important to enter the correct details as applicable on the date of travel on the Personal Details booking page so that we can issue the tickets in the new name. If there is no time to amend the passport, the marriage certificate should be carried in the passport. We do not accept bookings from any unaccompanied customers under the age of 18.

Delays Occasionally services may be delayed due to circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, we will do our best to help you and keep you fully informed. In the event of extended overnight delays, depending upon circumstances, we will endeavour to arrange accommodation. In the case of a major known delay to your homeward journey, we shall endeavour to delay departure from your hotel.

Special requests There, are of course, only a limited number of front seats on coaches, low-floor rooms in hotels etc. We cannot guarantee to meet all requests for such facilities but will do our best to oblige.

Itinerary You’ll receive your final itinerary and any other departure documents seven to 10 days prior to departure, provided all payments have been made. We endeavour to operate the itinerary booked, although there may be rare occasions when due to circumstances outside of our control, we may have to change the order of the itinerary or very occasionally withdraw certain aspects. We’ll let you know of any changes in advance if we have prior notice. Your Tour Manager will keep you informed of any last-minute changes. Itineraries and hotels may change due to weather or year of departure, and age restrictions may apply to certain activities. For full details, please visit our website or call us.

Tour Plus Extensions While some Tour Plus extensions are accompanied by your Tour Manager, others are hosted by a local representative or expert guide, and some are designed for independent exploration, giving you the freedom to enjoy your surroundings at your own pace.

Group sizes Our group sizes vary depending on the destination, tour type and time of year. The maximum group size on our Classic Tours can sometimes reach 50 for the most popular departure dates, but there will often be times where this number is less. You can ask our Holiday Planners for more information based on your chosen holiday.

Flight information All prices for holidays that include flights are based on travel in economy class. We reserve the right to substitute an alternative airline or aircraft type if required to do so for reasons beyond our control.

Important notes about flight timings The flight information given at the time of booking is based upon best knowledge of schedules known at the time this information was loaded on our system or upon expected airline schedules. Please note that timings may become subject to change at the airline’s discretion. Should any such alteration be significant, we will inform you as soon as we can. Final timings will otherwise be reconfirmed with your final travel documentation and you should check these carefully for any changes to your original stated schedule times. To keep our holidays at competitive prices, offer you the widest choice of UK departure airports and enable you to spend a little more time with your fellow travel companions, we sometimes need to combine transfers to and from your hotel. We always try to keep any wait times to a minimum but you may be asked to remain at the airport for up to an hour while other incoming flights arrive, before the transfer to your hotel. Similarly, we may need to transfer you back to the airport up to three hours before your flight home departs.

Fitness to travel We strive to give all our customers full care and attention, but we do need to know at the time of booking if there are any special needs or requirements. It is particularly important that we are advised of any disabilities or mobility issues and also if you intend to bring any specialist equipment such as a wheelchair or C-PAP machine with you. Please make sure that you send in full details, quoting your booking reference, as soon as you receive your online booking confirmation. If you have suffered from a serious medical condition recently, then you should consult with your doctor about your fitness to travel. If overseas and you need to return home early for whatever reason, or alert us to a medical condition, we reserve the right to request a fitness to fly certificate from a Doctor. In any such instance, we would refer you to your insurance company.

Hotel room tax Some hotels across Europe have introduced a room tax of between €1.00 and €3.00 per person per night, payable directly by the guest to the hotel on check-out. You will be advised by your tour manager in resort if your particular hotel(s) is implementing this charge.

Extras not booked with Newmarket Holidays

We cannot be held responsible for meeting the cost of any extras which are booked with a third party (e.g. travel insurance, currency, theatre tickets, airport parking and flights where you have booked tour only), if we subsequently cancel your holiday for whatever reason.

Airport development fees An Airport Development Fee has been introduced at a few UK Airports. You’ll be required to pay this charge per passenger over the age of 16 at the following airports prior to checking in for your flight: Durham Tees Valley, Newquay and Norwich. The amount varies from airport to airport, but it is generally between £5 and £10 per person. Please visit the airport’s website for further information.

Call costs All calls to our 0330 and 0333 telephone numbers are charged at the standard local rate.
