11 Signature JOURNEYS Hand crafted Small groups Fully inclusive Totally memorable! The Beyond Travel Tour was excellent. Probably one of the best that we have experienced. In the main the hotels were good and well located. Our guide for the land (bus) component, was the best that we have ever had on any tour we have done. The tour had many 2 night stops, visited interesting places and had a good amount of free time. Many of the meals were provided in the package. The food provided was excellent, with some meals in local restaurants / wineries. The boat trip was also excellent The boat itself was very comfortable and we slept on the boat while it was moored at the various islands that we visited. We would rate the tour as excellent and we not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

CRUISE CANCELLATION GUARANTEED CRUISES ON SMALL SHIPS BEING CONSTRUCTED FOR THE 209 SEASON Where a cruise is offered on a vessel currently under construction for the 209 season it is the intention of Beyond Travel and its principals to supply the cruise on the vessel as advertised. In the unlikely event that the cruise is cancelled due to issues surrounding the construction of the new vessel or otherwise out of the reasonable control of Beyond Travel, every passenger who has paid either a deposit or full payment will be offered a suitable alternative or Beyond Travel shall refund the full amount of the fare received. SHIP & ITINERARY CHANGES Beyond Travel and its principals will do everything possible to make sure your holiday goes according to plan; however, sometimes an unforeseen event occurs to cause changes to itinerary, hotel or vessel. Beyond Travel will notify you of these changes as soon as possible. MOORING Many of Croatia s historic harbours, especially on the islands, are small and cruising in Croatia has grown in popularity over the past ten years. As such it is not unusual for two or more ships to moor alongside each other at a berth, particularly in busy ports where mooring spaces are at a premium. On occasion, your cruise ship may be moored alongside a number of other vessels when embarking on disembarking. The view from your cabin window may also be blocked when there is another ship alongside. DOCUMENTATION Cruise documents are normally forwarded to you or your travel agent approximately 3-4 weeks before the commencement of your cruise. If you are departing Australia or New Zealand more than 4 weeks before joining your cruise, please advise Beyond Travel or your travel agent at the time of booking. PASSPORTS & VISAS Australian and New Zealand citizens must hold a current passport which must be valid for at least six months after your entry into a foreign country. It is the responsibility of the individual to obtain the required visas prior to departure. Failure to do so which results in the need to cancel travel arrangements will incur normal cancellation penalties. TRAVEL INSURANCE We strongly recommend you purchase appropriate international travel insurance at the time you pay deposit. Cancellation and refund conditions are strictly enforced; therefore, we recommend that you carry comprehensive travel insurance which covers cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances or those beyond your control. Ask your travel agent or Beyond Travel consultant for a choice of policies.
