Alex BurridgeManaging Director

In 2001 I undertook the first of many voyages to Antarctica, Falkland Islands, South Georgia and later the same year to the High Arctic

(Svalbard/Spitsbergen). My experience and knowledge gained whilst working for several Polar ship operators, allows us to offer expert, independent, advice to ensure your trip south really is as special as it should be.

Jennifer BoydMy inaugural cruise to Antarctica was in 2004, the experience was beyond all of my expectations. Magnificent glaciers, beautiful icebergs,

impressive mountains and the wildlife encounters all contribute to the allure of the Antarctic continent. The second time round I experienced kayaking and camping on the ice as well finally experiencing the polar plunge.

Alana LewthwaiteMy experience in Antarctica can be described as nothing short of amazing. Taking a 2 hour flight from Punta Arenas, Chile in a purpose-built BAe-146 plane to King

George Island in the South Shetlands. From King George Island, it was straight onto a Zodiac to board the waiting MV Ocean Nova, a 68-passenger ship with all the amenities needed for an exciting journey along the Antarctic Peninsula.

Hayley CrowdenIn 2015 I realised a lifelong ambition of travelling to Antarctica. I was fortunate enough to also visit the Falkland Islands and South Georgia,

which I have to admit was my favourite (much to the chagrin of some Antarctic aficionados). Gold Harbour on the southern tip of South Georgia has to be one of the most stunning places on our planet.

Cinzia MuccianteI recently returned from the Canadian High Arctic (Baffin Island and Greenland) – I struggle to find words to describe just how amazing the trip was. The scenery,

the wildlife, the expedition crew and the ship were all amazing. I didn’t realise just how powerful the ice would be, massive glaciers and near Illulisat thousands of icebergs.

SANTIAGO – THE SINGULAR SANTIAGO, newly emerged in the city’s historic Lastarria neighbourhood, has been designed to embrace the area’s cultural and artistic heritage while adding a cutting-edge modernity. It maintains an old-world feeling with 19th century French influences, while incorporating a contemporary elegance and high level amenities.

Please read the following booking conditions carefully and make sure you understand them before booking your holiday. By paying your non-refundable deposit to Talior-Made Journeys Pty Ltd trading as Antarctica Travel Centre (including Arctic Travel Centre) you are accepting these conditions.

1. Tour costsCosts are based on ground costs, airfares and exchange rates at the time of booking. While we make every effort not to increase prices, in the event of exchange rate fluctuations, increases in hotel rates, airfares, entrance fees, fuel costs or increases in ground operator fees, we reserve the right to amend our prices, with or without notice, at any time up to and including the day of departure. Acceptance of this arrangement is an express condition of making a booking.

RatesFares are quoted in US dollars (US$ – Ocean Nova, Hebridean Sky, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, Akademik Ioffe, 50 Years of Victory and Sea Spirit) and Australian Dollars (AU$ – National Geographic Explorer, Silver Explorer, Silver Cloud,l, Le Soréal, Le Boréal).

Rates for voyages, flights are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time booking and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates and the price of fuel, services and labour sometimes increase the cost of expedition arrangements significantly. Antarctica Travel Centre reserves the right to alter prices or introduce surcharges accordingly, even if payment has been received in full. All travellers are required to pay for their excursions and additional purchases in conjunction with their excursions in the same currency.

Discounts and Promotions; Antarctica Travel Centre has the right to limit, withdraw or change any and/or all discounts and promotions without notice and/or compensation.

FOR CANCELLATION DUE TO ALL OTHER EVENTS OF FORCE MAJEURE, THE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY.

4. Changes and transfersShould you wish to make changes (not including transfers) to your booking after confirmation has been advised, a fee of $75.00 per booking will be levied on each change made. Any changes requested by you after final documentation has been issued will incur a fee of $150.00 per booking plus any other fees levied by hotels, ground/cruise operators and/or airlines. We will do our best to process and obtain confirmation of your changes but it is important to realise that changes, especially close to departure date, can take some time to confirm and some may not be possible.

Itinerary variationsIt is possible that circumstances beyond our control may necessitate a route or itinerary change and, in the event of such an occurrence, we reserve the right to cancel or re-schedule tour departures and itineraries. Where it is necessary to change a hotel, we reserve the right to substitute accommodation of a similar standard. No refund will be available in the event of an itinerary or hotel change. The itinerary described is subject to change at the discretion of the ship’s Captain and voyage Expedition Leader. This is an expedition to a remote part of the world and the ship operator reserves the right to change the itinerary due to weather conditions, availability of anchorages, political conditions or other factors beyond its control, without consulting the traveller. It is understood that such decisions will be made in the best interests of all travellers aboard and with regard to the safety of the vessel. The traveller has no right to any refund or other considerations in the event of these itinerary changes.

The traveller must be in possession of a valid passport and any visas, permits and certificates that are required for the duration of the services provided by Antarctica Travel Centre, and shall arrange for such vaccinations as are normally recommended for the countries through which he/she intends to travel.

6. CancellationIf it becomes necessary for you to cancel your tour, you must notify us in writing. Upon receipt of your written notification, cancellation will take effect and the ship operator charges specified on the relevant pages will apply per person.Akademik Sergey Vavilov – Page 6, Akademik Ioffe – Page 7, National Geographic Explorer – Page 8, Sea Spirit - Page 9, Ocean Nova – Page 10, Hebridean Sky – Page 11, Le Soréal, Le Boréal – Page 12, Silver Cloud and Silver Explorer – Page 13.You will also be liable for any additional penalties levied by hotels, ground operators and/or airlines.

Occasionally, changes have to be made both before and after bookings have been confirmed. Antarctica Travel Centre reserves the right to cancel any service prior to departure, in which case payments made will be refunded without further obligation on our part. Please note that, in the event of cancellation, Antarctica Travel Centre will not be responsible for the cost of any additional travel arrangements beyond the voyage, or other items not purchased through Antarctica Travel Centre.

Force MajeureAntarctica Travel Centre has the right in the case of force majeure (e.g. war, uprising and natural disasters, abnormal/exceptional weather and ice conditions, legal stipulations of the local/regional authorities, and “acts of God”) to cancel your trip. Antarctica Travel Centre may not be held liable for any claims made due to force majeure. If situations of force majeure occur during the trip, Antarctica Travel Centre or its representatives will try to offer an alternative program. If this should prove impossible, either Antarctica Travel Centre, its representative, or you are entitled to cancel the trip. In such a case, Antarctica Travel Centre will not be held financially liable. However, in the event of any cost savings, Antarctica Travel Centre shall refund these monies to you. Antarctica Travel Centre or your travel agent is obliged to assist you in obtaining a return trip/flight, however, in such circumstances you are responsible for any costs incurred.

Antarctica Travel Centre is not liable for costs incurred by you in preparation of the tour, nor for reservations of travel components (such as, but not limited to, flights, hotels, connecting programs, travel insurance) which are booked elsewhere in combination with the trip booked with Antarctica Travel Centre.

7. Refund/unused servicesNo refund is available for cancellation after travel has commenced. If you make any alteration to any portion of your holiday while you are away, costs incurred by such alteration will be at your own expense. After the holiday has commenced, no refunds are available for any services/ground content provided in the tour price but not utilised by you for any reason.

Adventure Options (e.g. kayaking & camping) Prices quoted are based on group participation and no refunds will be made for any part of the program in which you choose not to participate, including kayaking, camping, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, or mountaineering, or which, at the discretion of the Captain and Expedition Leader, may or may not proceed for operational reasons or due to adverse conditions. It is understood that refunds cannot be made to travellers who do not complete the services for any reason whatsoever.

8. Health and immigrationMedical forms, or, if applicable, a direct online link to the cruise operator’s required forms, will be sent to you via email once your deposit has been received. You must review and complete the forms immediately (one for each person travelling) and, if not completed via the operator’s link, return them to Antarctica Travel Centre or your travel agent. Questions that relate to your physical or mental suitability may need to be completed by a medical practitioner. Medical forms must be filled out in full, honestly and accurately, and disclose all medical history and information. Should your medical situation change after submitting the medical forms, it is your responsibility to advise Antarctica Travel Centre (or the cruise operator) immediately. The information submitted will be reviewed and Antarctica Travel Centre (or the cruise operator) reserves the right to ask for further information, clarity on information, or for documentation from your medical practitioner.

Antarctica Travel Centre (or the cruise operator) reserves the right to deny passage to any traveller on reasonable medical grounds. For travellers who book within 90/120/180 days of departure, completed medical forms must be received within 7 days of making payment. The cruise operator reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deny boarding, without refund or resulting expenses, to any traveller at the pier for any reason, including but not limited to the event that the on-board medical officer determines the traveller not to have disclosed accurate medical information. It is also your responsibility to provide information of any pre-existing medical conditions and/or disability that could reasonably be expected to affect your booking, as well as the enjoyment of others on the trip. Antarctica Travel Centre (or the cruise operator) reserves the right, at its reasonable discretion, to refuse your participation on a trip and/or cancel your booking.

You should familiarise yourself with any health or visa requirements that may be applicable in the areas you intend visiting, and you shall be responsible for all exit, entry, health and other documents required by laws, regulations, orders, demands or requirements of the countries visited or transited. You shall carry a valid passport at all times.

9. Consular adviceWe recommend you contact the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade for current official travel advice concerning the countries you will visit.

10. Common senseCommon sense and ordinary care before and during travel must be exercised. We cannot be held responsible for problems, damage or loss of enjoyment brought about by a lack of reasonable care, understanding or attention by you.

11. DocumentationIt is your responsibility to check all air tickets and vouchers immediately upon receipt and to contact us at once if you believe any bookings have been made incorrectly or necessary documentation has been omitted. Please note that route maps provided by us are for general information and may not necessarily indicate exact routes. Antarctica Travel Centre has done its utmost to ensure that all tour descriptions, information and documentation issued is accurate in any printed or online media, brochure or publication.

12. Airline responsibility clauseThis brochure is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit, any airline whose services are used in the course of the tours, such services being subject to the airline’s conditions of contract.

13. ResponsibilityThese booking conditions form part of the general conditions.
