One of the great rewards of a lifetime of travelling is that there are always new places to explore and new wonders to

experience. In creating this Inspiring Expedition by Private Jet, I challenged myself to include many destinations I had

yet to visit, from Benin in West Africa to the Ladakh region of India, and to reveal these places through the kind of

insider-access opportunities only A&K can arrange. Around the World with Geoffrey Kent is not about checking items

off a list — it is about discovering the authentic heart of destinations that most travellers completely overlook, and doing

so in a way that never sacrifices comfort and style.

Join me, my hand-picked Tour Management team and a dedicated flight crew on board a chartered 757 with first-class,

fully lie-flat seats, as we circle the globe unveiling one awe-inspiring destination after another. Dine in a 400-year-old

samurai fortress, experience a private neighborhood party hosted by a celebrity chef in Hanoi and learn the practice of

Voodoo at a ceremony put on just for us. Throughout our journey, we will meet extraordinary people, take part in age-

old traditions as locals do and enjoy privileged access to experiences no traveller will want to miss.

I hope you join me on this truly unique adventure.

Our service does not guarantee the issuance of visas or passports.

grace. Walking and climbing stairs are required in many hotels and

airports, to board the aircraft, and as part of many excursions. Prior

to travelling, 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. Malaria and other diseases are present in

some of the countries featured in this itinerary. Proof of yellow

fever inoculation is required. 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. If you

would like to forgo some of the scheduled sightseeing to rejuvenate

and relax, please feel free to do so at any time.

LIMITS ON ABERCROMBIE & KENT’SRESPONSIBILITYAbercrombie & Kent USA, LLC, its employees, shareholders,

officers, directors, successors, agents and assigns (collectively

A&K), does not own or operate any entity which is to or does

provide goods or services for your trip. It purchases transportation

(by aircraft, coach, train, vessel or otherwise), hotel and other

lodging accommodations, restaurant, ground handling and other

services from various independent suppliers (including from time

to time other affiliated Abercrombie & Kent companies). All such

persons and entities are independent contractors. As a result, A&K

is not liable for any negligent or willful act of any such person or

entity or of any third person.

In addition and without limitation, A&K is not responsible for

any injury, financial or physical loss, death, inconvenience, delay

or damage to personal property in connection with the provision

unrest, insurrection or revolt, 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.

TRAVEL ADVISORIES It is the responsibility of the traveller to become informed about

the most current travel advisories by referring to the U.S. State

Department’s travel website at travel.state.gov or by phone at

888 407 4747. In the event of an active State Department Travel

Advisory against travel to the specific destination location(s) of

the trip, should the guest still choose to travel, notwithstanding

any travel advisory, the guest assumes all risk of personal injury,

death or property damage that may arise out of the events like those

advised or warned against.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENTAny controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these

Terms and Conditions, to the Limits on Abercrombie & Kent’s

Responsibility clause, to any A&K brochure, to any information

regarding any A&K trip, service or package, or to any A&K-related

trip, activity, service or package, shall be submitted exclusively to

Disputes.aspx), before a single arbitrator appointed by CPR.

Any party or their representative may appear for the arbitration

by telephone or video conference. Each party shall bear its own

fees, costs and expenses and an equal share of any arbitrator and

administrative fees.

GUEST’S REPRESENTATIONSThe guest represents that neither he nor she nor anyone travelling

with him or her has any physical or other condition or disability

that could create a hazard to him or herself or other members of

the Tour.

A&K reserves the right to decline to accept anyone on a trip, and

to remove from the trip, at his or her sole expense, anyone whose

condition is such that he or she could create a hazard to himself

or herself or others, or otherwise impact the enjoyment of other

guests on the trip. Additional guest assistance is available at a

supplemental cost.

airfare available in the class category you request at the time of your

booking. Please note that certain airfares are subject to a service

fee. Should you cancel or change your air reservation before or after

your departure, cancellation penalties may apply. Air reservations

will not be confirmed until a passport copy is received.
