The passenger shall have the right to cancel and receive a full refund if A&K

before the scheduled departure, A&K will notify you in writing within 7 days

after the cancellation, but in any event, at least 10 days before the scheduled

departure. If cancellation within 10 days of the departure date is required

because it is physically impossible to operate the Tour, A&K will notify the

SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTES:

PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE PROGRAM IN CUBA

Please note that the Cuba portion of this journey encompasses a special,

people-to-people program which will be different from other programs on

which you may have previously participated and from other destinations

visited on this journey. Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC operates the people

to-people program to Cuba under a general license issued by the U.S.

Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control and, as dictated

by U.S. law, all participants are required to adhere to a full-time schedule of

activities designed to inform, educate and promote meaningful interaction

with the people of Cuba. Deviation from this itinerary, even in part, is not

permitted. Per the general license requirements, this is a full-time program

with many inclusions and there will be little to no free time on most days of

the program.

Specific itinerary inclusions (visits, meetings with individuals and

organizations, home visits) are dependent on outside factors and host

availability; therefore, it may sometimes be necessary to substitute with

alternatives of equal relevance and interest. Things work differently in Cuba,

and activities that had been scheduled far in advance may sometimes become

unavailable for a number of reasons. Therefore, flexibility is key and it is very

important to go into this experience with an open mind. Your local guide will

be adept at swapping activities for others when and if needed, but do not be

disappointed if something in your program changes — it is likely to happen.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit a country that has been

inaccessible to Americans for a long time, so you are encouraged to make the

most of it and enjoy every moment.

The people-to-people program in Havana will put you in direct contact with

Cuban citizens, and provide structured activities to facilitate your discussions.

Your experienced guide will facilitate many of these interactions, but it is a

good idea to ask questions to get the most out of the experience. While the

people you meet may not speak English, you will be surprised at how much

you can share through body language and with the help of a good translator.

As part of your obligations as an authorized traveler under the general license,

you are obligated to comply with certain requirements, including maintaining

a record of your activities and expenses for five years. We encourage you to

keep a travel journal. In addition, there are limits on what you can bring to

Cuba and what you can bring back from Cuba that are explained in more

detail in your Destination Information.

PRICES & ARRANGEMENTS

The quoted Tour price includes planning, handling and operational charges,

and is based on current rates of exchange, tariffs and taxes as of July 2016.

Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC, reserves the right to increase Tour price

to cover increased costs, fuel surcharges, tariffs and taxes after brochure is

published, and to reflect fluctuations in foreign exchange markets. Marco Polo

Club discount is not applicable to this program.

Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC, also reserves the right to change the aircraft

if it becomes unserviceable with a reasonable substitute of comparable

capacity, withdraw a Tour or any part of it, to make such alterations in the

itinerary, to change the maximum number of passengers, or with the Tour

inclusions as it deems necessary or desirable and to pass on to Tour members

any expenditures or losses caused by delays or events beyond its control.

Minimum age for participation may apply. Please ask your travel consultant

for details.

Visa Documents/Entry Permits: It is the guest’s sole responsibility

to obtain and have available when necessary the appropriate valid travel

documents. A valid passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling to all

international destinations. Passports must be valid for six (6) months after

the return of your journey and should also have sufficient blank pages for

visas and immigration stamps. Many destinations also require a visa for U.S.

citizens. Visas and authorization for U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba must be

obtained prior to arrival in Cuba. These documents will be procured by A&K

on your behalf and will be delivered to you prior to your departure. Associated

fees are included in the cost for participation in the program. Tour participants

must also complete a Visa Application Form and sign a Travel Affidavit

confirming that they are traveling under the auspices of an OFAC-authorized,

people-to-people general license. These documents, along with instructions for

completion, will be sent to you upon deposit. In order to obtain the necessary

documents required for travel, you must complete all forms, and sign and

return them to A&K.

At the time of printing and in addition to the visa required for Cuba, U.S.

passport holders are also required to be in possession of tourist visas for entry

to Australia, Myanmar and Iran; these should be obtained prior to departure

by the tour participant. Information and instructions for the procurement of

required visas will be provided in your pre-travel documentation. Non-U.S.

citizens should contact the appropriate consular office for entry requirements

pertaining to their journey. You may be refused boarding or disembarked

from a vessel without liability for refund, payment, compensation, or credit

of any kind if you do not have proper documentation, and you will be subject

to any fine or other costs incurred by A&K which result from improper

documentation or non-compliance with applicable regulations. Any extra

costs for rerouting participants without visas and/or entry permits will be the

responsibility of the participant.

Health Requirements: This is an active program, which requires you to

make a realistic assessment of your health. All participants are expected

to be in active good health, to enjoy traveling as part of a group, and to be

ready to experience cultural differences with grace. Walking and climbing

stairs are required in many hotels and airports, to board the aircraft, and as

part of many excursions. Prior to traveling, we highly recommend visiting

your personal physician for a check-up, so that you may discuss your ability

to participate in this type of journey. For the latest recommendations on

specific health precautions for the areas you will visit, consult your physician

and the Centers for Disease Control. Any physical condition requiring

special attention, diet, or treatment should be reported in writing when

the reservation is made. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate

participants with special needs; however, we cannot accommodate

wheelchairs. If you require a slower pace, extra assistance, or the use of a

cane or walking stick, arrangements will be made for private touring at each

destination, if necessary, at the discretion of our tour staff. Any extra cost for

such arrangements will be the responsibility of the participant. A&K reserves

the right to decline acceptance of anyone whom it considers unsuitable due

to fitness level. A&K also reserves the right to remove from the trip, at the

participant’s own expense, anyone whose physical condition or conduct

negatively impacts the enjoyment of the other guests or disrupts the tour. With

the exception of travel within Cuba where participation in scheduled activities

is required, if you would like to forego some of the scheduled sightseeing to

rejuvenate and relax, please feel free to do so.

PHOTOGRAPHY DURING TRAVEL

Abercrombie & Kent reserves the right to take photographs and video during

the operation of any program or part thereof and to use them for promotional

purposes. By booking a reservation with A&K, program members agree to

allow their images to be used in such photographs. Program members who

prefer that their images not be used are asked to identify themselves to their

Tour Director at the beginning of their program.

animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any

kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food poisoning, mechanical

or other failure of aircraft or other means of transportation, or for failure of

any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart on time. There are many

inherent risks in adventure travel of the type involved here, which can lead to

illness, injury, or even death. These risks are increased by the fact that these

trips take place in remote locations, far from medical facilities. Guest assumes

all such risks associated with participating in this trip.

If you decide to participate in any activities including, but not limited to, any

excursions involving animals, riding on animals, scuba diving, snorkeling,

hot air ballooning, zip lining, high altitude treks, climbing, whitewater rafting,

primate tracking and any activity which A&K considers to carry inherent risk

of serious illness, injury or death (“Activities”) then you fully understand and

acknowledge that Activities carry with them various inherent risks, including

serious illness, injury or death and you take complete responsibility for your

own health and safety and agree to assume all risks of injury, illness or death,

whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may befall you as a result of participating

in any Activities and agree to release A&K, NYT and their affiliates, their

agents, employees and representatives from any liability whatsoever related

thereto.

Further, as consideration for being permitted to participate in the Activities,

you release A&K and NYT, whether known or unknown, from, and agree not

to sue or make claim against A&K or NYT for, property damage, cancellation

of any Activities for any reason, illness, negligent rescue operations or

procedures, personal injury, or death arising out of your participation in the

Activities, and any activity related thereto, including transportation to and

from the site of the Activities, regardless of whether such property damage,

illness, personal injury, or death results from the negligence of A&K or NYT

(but not their reckless, willful, or fraudulent conduct), and/or from any defect

in equipment. You further agree to indemnify and hold each of A&K and NYT

harmless with respect to any claim made against A&K or NYT by anyone

else which (a) related to your participation, or (b) which would be subject to

the above release and covenant not to sue if you had made the claim directly

yourself.
