Isles of Scilly

A dream-like quality lost in time.

The Isles of Scilly is an archipelago off the south-western tip of England. The islands have that special ‘step-back-in-time’ feeling and provide a taste of the timeless magic of childhood holidays. Amid wonderful scenery explore rock pools and endless sandy beaches, or enjoy nature trails, horse-riding or hire bikes.

The islands are a bird watcher’s paradise, with approximately 435 species, including Cormorants, Gannets, Oystercatchers and Puffins to name but a few. On the Scilly Isles everything revolves around the sea, so why not take the opportunity to spot some Atlantic grey seals?

Inter-island gig races take place during the summer and they are a great spectacle to watch. Walk Scilly takes place in April and October, with guided walks.

Eating out on the Isles of Scilly is an alfresco delight. What could be better than enjoying fresh fish and chips on the beach, gazing out at waters the same colour as those in the Caribbean? Or delicious freshly-caught lobster in a local restaurant?

Getting to the Isles of Scilly

Things to see and do on the Isles of Scilly

Just five of these islands are inhabited and 1,800 of the 2,200 residents live on the largest:

St Mary’s. On this island, there are just nine miles of road but over 30 miles of walking and cycling trails.

Island Sea Safaris - “Shipwrecks, Seals and Seabirds” wildlife safari.

St Mary’s Riding Centre - Instruction and treks along the beach and unspoilt coastline. Pre-booking essential.

Jersey

A small island with a big personality.

Stylish hotels, boutique shopping, fashionable cocktail bars and high-quality restaurants have been added to this Channel Island jewel, without ever losing its delightfully, often quaint, French ‘je ne sais quoi’.

Just 45 square miles, Jersey boasts some of the best sandy beaches in the Channel Islands. Move inland, and nature lovers can enjoy exploring the Green Lanes, a network of around 50 miles of roads where pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders have priority over motor vehicles. This part of Jersey is a real throwback to far more innocent times, and contrasts sharply with the vibrant capital city of St Helier. Charmingly compact, with trendy Liberation Square at its epicentre, designer boutiques and high street names are all found within St Helier’s pedestrianised streets. Whether you’re looking for spas, shopping, golf, history, heritage, fun, forest or a gastronomic feast, you’ll find them in Jersey.

Guernsey

Truly British with a French flair.

Guernsey and her neighbouring islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney provide beautiful little cameos. The island is steeped in history and there are many reminders of the German Occupation (The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles successfully invaded by the Nazis).

Local crab, lobster and prawns regularly feature on restaurant menus, and the food is so good that French visitors often sail over for their dinner! A great time to visit Guernsey is during the Tennerfest festival, a six-week slice of foodie heaven in October-November.

The island attracts families seeking a traditional holiday with fabulous beaches and a wide range of activities. Couples are discovering that Guernsey is an increasingly fashionable place, boasting romantic hideaways and stylish restaurants.

You can easily enjoy day trips to the nearby Islands of Herm (only 20-minute boat crossing), Sark (50-minute boat crossing) and Alderney (one-hour boat crossing).

Stocks Hotel

A beautifully refurbished country house hotel in a secluded wooded valley in the centre of the island, providing a luxurious stay in a beautiful setting.

Accommodation

Ensuite standard, superior rooms and suites, each individually designed and exquisitely decorated using sumptuous fabrics and solid oak rustic furniture. Some rooms have baths, others showers.

Living

Family-run and personally managed, the hotel has been an integral part of Sark’s history for centuries. Indeed, it was once a farm, and the oldest part of the building dates back to 1741.

The hotel has a variety of vehicles ranging from an original 1850’s vintage Ferrari Victoria carriage, to a wagonette and a large van. A taxi-carriage can be arranged to meet you on arrival and take you to Stocks, or if you would like an idyllic and more leisurely day, we can arrange a tour of the island, perhaps with a picnic hamper and bottle of Champagne.

At a glance

“The most enchanting and carefree way to explore car-free Sark, and indeed the best introduction to the island, is a private tour by horse and carriage using Stocks’ own livery stables.”

The White House Hotel Braye Beach Hotel

Set in beautiful gardens, this is the only hotel on the island and a place of old-fashioned elegance.

A stylish boutique hotel on the edge of Alderney’s best sandy beach, and close to the town of St Anne.

The holidays in this brochure are advertised and operated by Atkins Travel Limited trading as ‘Prestige Travel’, a fully bonded tour operator. Our flight based holidays provide full financial protection by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number (ATOL) 2509 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK, telephone 0333 103 6350, email: claims@caa.co.uk. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive package 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. Please see our booking condition 17 for information, or for more information about ATOL go to: www.caa.co.uk. Atkins Travel Ltd is a member of ABTA and our package holidays that don’t include a flight are protected by means of a bond held by ABTA The Travel Association, 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9EQ www.abta.com. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA or ABTA will ensure you are not stranded abroad or will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. The contact details for Atkins Travel Limited are Office 11 Haviland House, 17 Cobham Road, Ferndown Business Park, Dorset BH21 7PE (‘the Company’s Office’), enquiry@prestigetravel.co.uk, 01425 480 400. Our office hours are 09.00am-5.00pm Monday to Saturday.

1. We want you to have an enjoyable holiday and so that there is no misunderstanding you should carefully read the following terms and conditions as these will apply to any contract you make with us.

2. We reserve the right to alter the price of any of the holidays shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed.

3. The contract is between Atkins Travel Limited (‘the Company’) and the person making the booking and/or the person(s) on whose behalf the booking has been made (‘the Client’).

4. In order to confirm a booking we will require you or our authorised agent to:

(a) send us the appropriate deposit, the amount of which will vary and this will be confirmed at the time of booking. See Clause 12(d).

(b) A contract will exist between the Company and you when you pay a deposit/full payment to the Company or its agent or the Company has verbally confirmed the booking and you confirm with the Company that you have the authority of all persons named to contract on their behalf the services requested.

5. The balance of the holiday price shall be paid by the date to be advised but in any event shall not be more than twelve weeks prior to your departure.

6. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit.

7. The price of your holiday is, however, subject to surcharges or reductions on the following items: the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, and the level of taxes or fees imposed by third parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports. However, there will be no change within 20 days of your departure. If your holiday cost has increased due to the above, we will contact you and ask you to make payment to us. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel because of this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date on your final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our administrative expenses incurred. 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.

8. As we plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. You will be informed without delay of a cancellation (for any reason) by the Company and on such a cancellation except where it occurs due to non payment by you, the Company will offer you the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or a full refund of all monies, payable within 10 days of you requesting such refund. Compensation may be payable on a sliding scale. See No. 9 (c).

9. (a) A major change to the contract is one which would involve a significant change to the holiday (e.g. a significant change in resort).

(b) If the Company makes a major change after it has confirmed the booking the Company will immediately inform you and offer the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies, payable within 10 days of you requesting such refund. Please read any notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled.

(c) Subject to (d) below if the Company cancels, or makes a major change and you accept a refund rather than an alternative, after the date of payment of the balance of the holiday price it will in addition to the choice offered in sub-paragraph (b) of this clause compensate you as follows:

Period before departure date

More than 84 days

Between 29 and 83 days

Between 15 and 28 days

Between 8 and 14 days

7 days or less

(d) The provisions of clause (c) will not apply in the event of a major change or cancellation due to any cause beyond the Company’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. The following shall be regarded as causes beyond the Company’s control:

(i) Act of God, explosion, flood, fire or accident.

(ii) War, terrorism or any threat thereof, insurrection, civil disturbance.

(iii) Any government or local authority restrictions or regulations.

(iv) Strikes or other industrial actions (or threat thereof).

(v) Weather conditions, epidemic or pandemic illness.

(e) We will confirm the airline/ferry company identity when you book. If it changes we will advise you. This may be at the airport on the day of departure. A change of airline/ferry company is a minor change to your holiday, as is an alteration of less than 12 hours to the outward/return flight or change of accommodation to the same or higher standard.

10. (a) The Company will consider any reasonable request by you to amend or vary the terms of your travel arrangements but shall not be under any obligation to comply with such a request. Charges will be kept to a minimum, in some cases this may mean amendment or replacement cost of airline tickets. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent.

(b) In the event of a reduction by you in the number of persons taking a self contained apartment or hotel room (or hire car) the Company may need to charge for any beds, transfers or seats unused as a result of that reduction. Please ask for a price.

(c) You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing as soon as possible and no later than seven days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer.

11. (a) All reasonable steps to ensure that the holiday is not cancelled or altered as a result of overbooking by hotels will be made by the company.

(b) If the hotel is overbooked (despite the Company’s reasonable efforts) and the Company is aware of such overbooking before your departure the Company will immediately inform you and offer the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or of a full refund of all monies, payable within 10 days of you requesting such refund and compensation will be payable in accordance with Clause 9 (c).

(c) If the Company does not know of the overbooking of the hotel before your departure you shall on arrival at your destination be offered alternative accommodation. If the alternative accommodation is inferior to that originally booked the Company shall also offer reasonable compensation for disturbance.

12. (a) You may cancel the holiday at any time. The Company will charge you the cancellation fees set out below. Please note the exceptions to these charges set out in (d) below. A cancellation by you must be in writing signed by the person who made the booking or sent the email acceptance and sent to the Company’s Office and acknowledged by the company.

(b) The Cancellation charges (expressed as a percentage of the confirmed holiday price) are as follows:

Period before scheduled departure date during which written cancellation is received by the Company:

More than 84 days

Compensation due payable

Amount of cancellation charge

Deposit/initial payment

Between 83 and 31 days 50%

Between 30 and 15 days 75% 14 days or less 100%

Also see (d) below.

(c) You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at your destination. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated and for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

(d) Some properties may demand part or full payment even if a holiday is cancelled. Additionally if we have bought aircraft seats in from another tour operator or a public airfare for you once you confirm your intention to travel, we are committed to pay for those seats or hotel rooms in full. If, therefore, you cancel your holiday at any time after booking, you will be/may be liable for the cost of those seats or hotel rooms in part or full. In these circumstances we, and therefore you, are bound by the booking conditions of the other supplier. We will also require an increased deposit, the amount will be advised at the time of booking. We will remind you of any exception at the time of booking your holiday.

13. The Company shall not be obliged to claim compensation for nor to make any allowances or refund for lost or expired or unendorsed tickets, hotel coupons, or vouchers for any service or accommodation booked. But if any allowance or refund is obtained by the Company it will pass the same on to you less any expenses reasonably incurred in obtaining it.

14. We will make your holiday arrangements with every care. We cannot, however be responsible for any damage or loss of your luggage or other property unless caused by any of our staff or suppliers. We cannot be responsible for any fatal or other injury or illness unless caused by the negligence of any of our staff or suppliers whilst on duty. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this package. If any of the travel services included in your package are not performed in accordance with the contract, or are improperly performed, by us or the travel service suppliers, and this

has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements, you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services is due to: you or another member of your party; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, which means a situation beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

15. All arrangements made by or through the Company in connection with the booking are subject to the contractual terms of the suppliers providing the services that make up your booking. These terms are incorporated into this contract and may limit or extinguish your right to compensation. Further, we are to be regarded as having the benefit of any limit on compensation contained in the relevant international convention. These limit liability for death, injury and loss or damage to baggage. Copies of the contractual terms and international conventions are available on request.

16. If you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday and ask us to help we will provide appropriate assistance, in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance; and helping you to find alternative arrangements and any necessary phone calls/emails. You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault.

17. 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.

18. We do not run or control or have any other involvement in any excursions in our holiday destinations and we have not inspected them in any way.

All excursion providers are entirely independent of us. If you buy any excursion(s) whilst on holiday, the contract will be between you and the excursion provider. The excursion(s) will not form part of the package or of your contract with us. We cannot accept any liability in relation to any excursion(s) and the acceptance of liability for contracted holiday arrangements in our booking conditions will not apply to them.

19. In the unlikely event of any dissatisfaction with the accommodation or any of the services provided during your holiday the matter must be reported immediately to the local representative or agent of the Company AND the hotelier so that action can be taken to remedy the problem. If we have not been given the opportunity to rectify the complaint at the time this may affect your rights. If the problem is not resolved satisfactorily during the holiday you should submit your complaint in writing to the Company at the Company’s Office as soon as possible after your return home, ideally within 28 days, advising the Company of the action taken and the names of the people to whom the matter was reported. A written report must be obtained from our representative where we have one. Except in personal injury or death claims, our liability shall be limited to three times the cost of the holiday paid to the Company. We are a Member of ABTA, membership number V2715. 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 scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www. abta.com. You can also access the Arbitration Service offered by AITO - operated by Dispute Settlement Services (DSS), please ask for details.

20. Every effort is made by the Company to give as accurate a description as possible for the hotels, guest houses, villas, apartments and ships in this brochure. All facilities mentioned in the descriptions are generally available for the duration of the brochure but in certain circumstances (particularly in the low and off seasons) their provision may be limited e.g. weather conditions, maintenance, etc. Please note that the provisions of these facilities and any charges imposed for their use are totally outside the control of the Company.

21. These conditions are subject to English Law and the jurisdiction shall rest with the English, Scottish or Northern Ireland courts as appropriate.

Please read this information, only by doing so can both you and we ensure that your Prestige holiday is everything you expect and we wish to provide. We are delighted to offer advice at any time.

Hotel Facilities

Throughout this brochure Prestige Travel refers to facilities offered by hotels such as swimming pools, air-conditioning, entertainment programmes, restaurants, children’s clubs, watersports and other amenities. Obviously the availability of all facilities is under the day to day control of the hotel management. Some larger hotels do on occasions host conferences, of which we will be unaware; this may mean restricted or alternative facilities are offered.

Air-conditioning and pool heating are not usually on year round, and the dates they operate are subject to hotel management control. We will always try to advise you if any facility is not available. We feel sure you will understand that under these circumstances we cannot guarantee that any such facilities will be available during your stay. If you have a particular interest on holiday, such as tennis or if you will need a children’s club or babysitting, we will be very happy to verify that it will be available for you, before you book. Your needs are important – tell us what they are.

Hotel Bedrooms

Most hotel rooms are with twin beds but double beds may be available on request. Single rooms may be smaller. Extra beds or infants’ cots are normally available on request but may tend to ‘cramp’ the bedroom. We respectfully remind you that any request for a particular room number or location is just that, a request. The hotel will do its utmost to satisfy the request, but it cannot be guaranteed. We stress that the allocation of rooms is solely within the hotels’ control. Please note should a specific room be requested and it is a higher room category than that booked and confirmed, the additional cost will have to be paid locally.

Availability of Hotel Bedrooms

Prestige Travel holds an allocation of rooms at most featured hotels and confirmation of your requirement should be immediate. If this is not possible we will email or telephone the hotel, to avoid any delay to our confirmation.

Classification of Hotels

Hotel classifications quoted are those officially approved in each country. Standards do vary and if you have any doubt as to the suitability of an hotel we are happy to offer advice.

Hotel Arrival

If you are travelling on an evening flight your hotel room is of course reserved for the night of your arrival.

Hotel Check-Out

Normally 11.00am but if you prefer a later check-out time we will do our best to assist, although the hotel may make a supplementary charge. Check-in times are normally between 2.00pm-3.00 pm.

Flights

Prestige Travel prefers wherever possible to use scheduled flights. This we believe reduces the chance of delays or cancellations and you travel as an individual. Some flights can only be altered in an emergency and only at the discretion of the airline, a charge will be imposed. Prepaid seat reservations may in exceptional circumstances have to be changed by the airline when the operating aircraft is altered. In the unlikely event of a flight delay, it is your airline’s responsibility to care for you (once you have checked in) and keep you informed of the extent of the delay, meals and overnight arrangements (if applicable). We are required to collect passenger contact details. In the event of a cancellation, a major delay or if you are denied boarding you may be entitled to compensation and/or a refund from your airline but not an automatic refund of holiday costs from us. For details go to www.caa.co.uk.

Data Protection

Brochure

This brochure is issued on the sole responsibility of the tour operator. It does not commit the airline(s) mentioned therein, or any airline whose services are used in the course of the holiday(s).

Passports

You must hold a valid passport with minimum three month validity. Please note that a visa may be required if you hold a non-UK passport. Please read Visa Information. It is now a requirement of most airlines to collect passport details from every passenger. If you are 16 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least 6 weeks before your holiday. The UK Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and will ask you to attend an interview in order to do this.

Visa Information

If you are a British citizen and hold a valid UK passport you do not generally require a visa to travel to any of our destinations. However, your own particular circumstances (which will not be evident to us) may mean that a visa is required for you or another member of your party. We would strongly urge you to contact the consulate of the country(ies) that you will be visiting to obtain the most up-to-date information before booking with us. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. From 2024 there will be a new EU visa waiver scheme, called ETIAS. When it comes in, you will need to apply and pay for ETIAS online in order to enter the EU.

Health

At the time of going to press no inoculations were required for any countries in this brochure. Check recommended precautions at: www.travelhealthpro.org.uk The Department of Health website www.nhs.uk/ghic has the latest information about obtaining a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC). We will make every reasonable effort to advise you of any health rules but must emphasise that it is your responsibility to ensure any such rules are complied with. Illness or pregnancy may require a “fit to fly” certificate from your GP. Please advise us.

Reductions for Children

Some hotels in this brochure do give excellent reductions or even free accommodation for children. Infants under the age of two years sharing parents’ bedroom will be quoted at time of booking as some hotels may make a hire charge for cots. Our normal charge includes air travel and a standard cot charge. Meals, if taken, will be charged direct by the hotel. In general children 11 years and under sharing parents’ room in hotels (not apartments) are entitled to a discount. Unfortunately children of whatever age occupying adult accommodation are ineligible for these discounts, except where specifically offered. Car seats for arrival and departure transfers can be arranged and will incur a charge.

Baby-Sitting

Usually notice is needed to book a sitter. Please check their suitability, the cost and the exact service given.

Some hotels have minimum stays during peak season.

We will advise you of these at the time of booking.

Booking a Prestige Holiday

It’s so easy! Use your local bonded travel agent, book online at prestigetravel.co.uk or call us on 01425 480400. It’s best to book early but we are excellent at late bookings too. The required deposit will be advised at the time of booking – full payment is needed for bookings within 12 weeks of travel.

To process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements we and your travel agent need to use the information you provide (such as name, address, passport information, email address, mobile number, any special needs/dietary requirements, etc.).

We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies, etc. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required by law.

Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection in your destination may not be as stringent as the legal requirements in this country. We will only pass on your information to providers/suppliers responsible for the provision of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant providers/suppliers.

Please note where information is also held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agent’s own data protection policy.

We will hold your information, where collected by us, and may use it to inform you of offers in the future or to send you brochures. If you do not wish to receive such approaches in the future, please tell us.

Our full privacy policy can be found on our website.

Our Confirmation

We will process your confirmation as speedily as possible and will then forward to you or your travel agent a full confirmation and invoice. It is useful to keep this handy, even when on holiday.

Payment

Please note that full payment is due 12 weeks before your departure. You can pay for your holiday using any credit card or debit card. For your and our protection and security we require the security numbers on the back of the card and the address the card is registered to.

Alterations

If you make changes to your holiday arrangements after booking we will be obliged to pass on additional costs and make a small charge to cover any administrative expenses.

Cancellation

If you are obliged to cancel your holiday for whatever reason please refer to our Booking Condition No. 12.

Prices

There will be no currency surcharges on any holiday in this brochure. Please see Booking Condition No. 7 for full details.

Your Money

When you buy a flight-based holiday, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him 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. In the extremely unlikely event of our insolvency, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by him, 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. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on behalf of Prestige Travel at all times.

When driving abroad

Please carry your driving licence, passport and car hire documents (or copies of them) securely at all times.

Holiday Price

Our prices and any supplements are per person sharing a twin room and are based on return flights from London, unless otherwise stated. Included in our basic holiday price are:
