classic TAILOR-MADE SERVICE We tailor-make all our holidays so that you are free to choose your departure airport, the airline you’d like to fly with, and the length of your holiday. We simply ask you when you’d like to travel and your preferred departure airport, and then we can give you a choice of the best available flight times so that you can choose the flight that best suits you. The prices shown in this brochure are for the most popular holiday durations, but alternative durations from as little as 2 nights up to 3 months are also available. Short breaks are becoming increasingly popular as more and more of us enjoy numerous annual holidays, and whether it’s a quick midweek or weekend break or longer holiday, simply contact us for availability and prices. 6

SHORT BREAKS As more and more of us enjoy numerous holidays to help us de-stress and relax, short breaks have become not just more popular, but are now seen by many as a necessity. Here at Classic Collection Holidays we provide a flexible tailor-made holiday service and can book any holiday length for you, although durations of less than four nights generally have to be requested specifically from our hoteliers.

FAMILIES & Child PRICES If you are travelling with children, you will want to be sure that they are well catered for and happy during their holiday, and also that you are getting good value for money. Many hotels offer reductions to the first child (normally aged 2-11 years) when they share a room with two adults or two full fare paying passengers and relevant 7-night child prices are shown in the price grids on hotel pages. The Classic value section also details where reductions are available for older children and teenagers.Children enjoying reduced child prices can only be accommodated where there is sufficient space in a room and it may be that a child price can only be given in a superior or deluxe room or suite because the standard room can only accommodate two guests. Where there is sufficient space in a room for four occupants, a reduction may be available for a second child. Many child-friendly hotels offer substantial reductions to children staying in separate rooms (ie, not sharing with an adult) and some hotels are willing to give discounts or even free stays to children sharing a room with one adult (although normally

Some of our featured hotels have villas or apartments available in the same gardens or in the local vicinity. And because of the superior nature of our hotels, many of them have specific room types that feature kitchen or kitchenette facilities. We have highlighted a number of these villas and hotels on the opposite page, although if you have a particular room requirement, for a kitchen or kitchenette or simply for coffee and tea making facilities, please contact our reservations team. 10

VILLAS & APARTMENTS Villas and apartments provide exclusivity and privacy for small groups of friends or family, and although we specialise in luxury hotels, we feature a handful of villas and apartments connected to our featured hotels. Even when booking on a bed and breakfast, half board or all inclusive basis, families travelling with young children often like to have use of a kitchen or kitchenette facility within their room or suite and although the following paragraphs highlight various self-catering facilities, please contact our reservations team who will be able to give advice about villa and apartment suitability, and additional details about kitchenette facilities in various room types and additional hotels.

And what better way is there to be pampered than to enjoy the luxury that a health and beauty club or spa centre can offer? You might like to indulge in a range of treatments, simply enjoy a massage or just take a soothing dip in a thalassotherapy pool, or why not experiment a little and discover rasul, a full body exfoliation treatment, or an aromatherapy massage to soothe your senses. Many hotels feature luxury treatment rooms and for that extra special occasion you could delight in a romantic treatment for two. 14

Palheiro Golf Course, Madeira

classic GOLF Many Classic Collection Holidays’ guests find that a leisurely round of golf during their holiday helps them relax. For some it is the aspect of friendly competition that is satisfying and for others the pleasure comes from aspiring to master the game. For the majority, though, the sheer enjoyment comes from the diverse and beautiful locations in which the game is played and many of our destinations have a wealth of challenging and scenic courses from which to choose. 18

GREAT FOR GOLF Many of our hotels offer green fee reductions to guests and a few even offer complimentary rounds. Some hotels offer courtesy transport to the golf courses although if you are planning to play at a variety of locations, it may be advisable to hire a car. Your handicap certificate and soft spike shoes will be required on most courses. Hotels situated close to their own courses have been highlighted with 'good for golf', and we are happy to book golf packages and tee times at these hotels for you. For further details (including carriage of clubs on various airlines) please telephone our reservations team on 0800 008 7288, who will be pleased to discuss your golf requirements.

CLASSIC CANARY ISLANDS Just four and a half hours flying time from the UK, the Canary Islands with their jagged cliffs, sweeping beaches and volcanic interiors are famed for their subtropical climate and enjoy more than three hundred days of sunshine a year ensuring that a warm winter holiday is almost guaranteed. Six hundred miles south of the Iberian Peninsula and approximately 70 miles west of the African Coast, the Canary Islands should typify a desert region, but due to the effects of the mountains, trade winds and warm coastal waters, they enjoy a wonderful year round climate. Temperatures between the seasons vary only slightly with monthly averages ranging between 18 degrees Celsius in winter to 24 degrees Celsius in summer. Due to their volcanic origins, the islands are mountainous and temperatures can vary not only between them, but also at various heights. On Tenerife, Mount Teide, Spain’s highest mountain rises to 3,719m and occasionally it is possible to see snow at the top whilst sunbathing on the beaches.

ISLAND LIFE

LOCAL CUISINE

The combination of climate and unusual geological features on these islands has led to an interesting array of flora and fauna which surprisingly thrive even though none of the islands has a running river. With more than 650 native species, the islands provide an important ecological area and local laws which protect areas of specific scientific interest, create numerous nature reserves and rural parks. Additional laws relating to low luxury tax, mean it’s worth shopping for cameras, perfumes, silver jewellery, silks and paintings, and great value Birds of Paradise flowers, strelitzias, can be boxed for your return journey. Open air markets, Mercados, provide colourful shopping opportunities for Sunday mornings.

Tapas bars displaying their hot and cold tidbits so that you can simply point at the dishes you fancy are plentiful and popular, and for a truly authentic meal look for the sign Tipico where you will be able to choose from a host of Canarian specialities including pescado salado (fish cooked in salt), fresh tuna, calamari and octopus which can all be enjoyed with papas arrugadas, wrinkly potatoes boiled in seawater and served with delicious garlicky mojo picon, a traditional Canarian sauce. Meat is common on most sauce can be enjoyed as a traditional dish, conejo en salmorejo.

CHOICE OF ISLANDS There is such diversity amongst the islands that, although it is a cliché, there really is an island to suit all tastes. From verdant valleys to deserts and snow capped peaks, towering sea cliffs to beaches of golden or black sand, we can book a single, twin or multi centre so you can discover as many of the islands as you wish.

CLASSIC TENERIFE Tenerife, an island of contrasts, boasts a long sunny coastline with gigantic sea cliffs and numerous sandy beaches against a backdrop of Spain’s highest mountain, Mount Teide: snow-capped for much of the year. There are trendy resorts and traditional villages and a friendly international culture combined with Carnivals of tradition. The largest and most popular of the Canary Islands, and boasting the greatest number of tourist attractions, is the triangular shaped island of Tenerife. Home to Mount Teide the highest mountain in Spain, Tenerife also features numerous beaches, magnificent sea cliffs, bustling new resorts and traditional towns and villages. The coastline stretches some 269km and features spectacular cliffs and coves, some golden sands (Santa Cruz) and many black volcanic sand beaches. Tenerife is renowned for its Carnivals and although the island enjoys a distinct European culture, religious festivals and fiestas are enjoyed with traditional Canarian enthusiasm. Tenerife's three nearest neighbours are the popular La Gomera and lesser known La Palma and EI Hierro.

Costa Adeje is a sophisticated resort with luxurious hotels and high quality restaurants. Set in a wide natural harbour, the resort boasts three blue flag sandy beaches with excellent watersports and diving, plus the tranquil cove at Playa Paraiso nearby. There’s a good selection of boutiques in the commercial centres, a fine array of promenade restaurants, a cluster of bars around the harbour and numerous outdoor facilities including one of the island’s best golf courses plus two waterparks: Aqualand, and one of the largest in the Canary Islands, Siam Park. Also located on the southern coast, bustling Golf del Sur with its restaurant and bar-lined promenade is great for families and a haven for golfing enthusiasts with its challenging 27-hole championship golf course dominating the landscape.

Nestling in the lush Orotava Valley, the oldest resort in the Canary Islands, Puerto de la Cruz, is a firm favourite with discerning travellers. It’s a bustling town boasting fine colonial buildings, botanical gardens and a picturesque Old Town. The fishing port area is a maze of cobbled streets awash with traditional bars and cafés, and there are sophisticated boutiques, delightful squares, a casino and lido, and three small beaches with dark volcanic sand. To the west is Loro Parque, an animal park most famed for its magnificent parrots and a snow-clad penguinarium.

Los Cristianos is a popular resort boasting two beaches with imported Saharan sand, a good range of hotels, enviable shopping, a plethora of restaurants and bars and lively nightlife, plus fishing trips, glass bottom boat excursions and ferries for La Gomera available from the busy harbour. Between Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje the lively purpose-built resort of Playa de Las Americas with its abundance of restaurants, bars and clubs is popular with those in search of sun, beaches, watersports and nightlife.

In the extreme northwest next to the Teno Massif, the small regional centre of Buenavista del Norte has a pretty main square and 18th century mansions, a church and Buenavista Golf, one of Tenerife’s bestloved courses. On the coast, the quiet town of Garachico boasts an illustrious past because of the devastation caused in 1706 when its streets and harbour were filled with lava from the Volcan Negro. Garachico was rebuilt on solidified lava and today there are lush sunken gardens in what was originally the island’s busiest port. The Franciscan monastery and the 16th century fortress, Castillo de San Miguel, escaped the lava flow and the well-preserved fortress affords tremendous views.

Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, boasts many beautiful historic buildings with its hub around the Plaza de Espana, close to the busy harbour. There are two noteworthy churches, a lively bazaar and food market, a state of the art Opera House, and a couple of interesting museums: one housing the cannon which allegedly removed Admiral Nelson’s arm!

With an award winning zoological theme, Loro Parque boasts a band of gorillas, a bat cave, a dolphinarium, penguinarium, plus the world’s largest collection of parrots. Siam Park is a magical water kingdom with attractions ranging from a meandering lazy river to a 28m tower dropping into a mysterious aquarium.

LA LAGUNA

These spectacular sheer cliffs marking the abrupt edge of north western Tenerife’s Teno Massif are a breathtaking sight. Soaring 600m skyward from the Atlantic Ocean, Los Gigantes cliffs are best viewed on a boat trip, from which you might additionally be lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins.

MASCA

LA PALMA

CLASSIC LA PALMA Known locally as Isla Bonita, La Palma is truly beautiful with remarkable scenery ranging from soaring forestcovered mountains in the north to volcanic lunar landscapes in the south contrasting with wide, fertile valleys, dramatic sea cliffs, and black sandy beaches that fringe the Atlantic shores.

The greenest and most rural of the Canary Islands, La Palma boasts picturesque villages, sleepy towns and pleasantly warm temperatures all year round. A World Biosphere Reserve it has 19 naturally protected areas including majestic pine forests and lush laurel woods, deep ravines, salt pans, waterfalls, natural parks, volcanic craters and an unique caldera. Due to the rugged topography the climate is varied. The west is dry and hot whilst the east is lush and the abundance of microclimates fosters a richness of flora and fauna. Ideal for a tranquil break, this most north western of the Canary Islands also caters for numerous outdoor pursuits including star gazing, hiking, mountain biking, boat trips and scuba diving.

BRENA BAJA

Located in the east, the capital Santa Cruz de la Palma is a lovely bustling coastal town where the central Plaza de Espana is surrounded by striking 16th and 17th century public buildings; Santa Cruz even boasts its own Naval Museum in a replica of the Santa Maria. Just 3km away with stunning views to La Gomera and Tenerife, the small rural hillside village of Brena Baja is a beautifully tranquil spot with bars and restaurants serving typical Canarian cuisine and local wines. The nearest beach is at Playa de los Canjacos where crystal clear waters are excellent for swimming, diving and snorkelling. On the west coast, the small quiet resort of Puerto Naos boasts the island’s longest beach and the best sunshine record; nightlife is low key tending to centre around the hotels and restaurants and it provides an ideal base to explore, with La Caldera de Taburiente National Park a mere 10 minutes’ drive away. Also on the west coast, the historic port and fishing harbour of Tazacorte is located on the fertile coast of the Valle de Aridane and boasts a black sand beach and extensive banana plantations.

ACTIVITIES La Palma provides a good range of activities including star gazing, paragliding, mountain bikes, boat trips, watersports, diving and snorkelling, plus with a network of 1,000km of signposted hiking routes, the trekking is superb. Central to the Biosphere Reserve of La Palma, the evergreen laurel woods of Los Tilos are one of the most important in the Canaries containing an extraordinary range of flora and fauna. And boat trips are easily available from the port at Tazacorte to include the fascinating volcanic cave of Cueva Bonita, the beautiful beach at Playa de la Veta, and the opportunity to see dolphins, whales, tortoise and flying fish. There are approximately 50 beaches and coves on the island, mostly with black volcanic sand or pebbles with the most popular around Playa de los Cancajos, Puerto Naos and Tazacorte. A must see is the awe-inspiring crater in Caldera de Taburiente National Park where the Canarian pines cling to the steep slopes and delightful streams tumble down the ravines to the crater floor. The highest point of the caldera, Roque de los Muchachos at 2,400m, is often snowcapped in winter and houses one of the world’s most important astrophysics observatories.

CLASSIC LA GOMERA Lying to the west of Tenerife, La Gomera is the most relaxing of all the Canary Islands with dense forestry, beautiful cedar groves and breathtaking ravines. Small villages are scattered inland amongst the terraced valleys and the mountains sweep the coastline as dramatic sea cliffs.

La Gomera's verdant interior where the green terraced valleys cut steeply through the mountains is spectacularly beautiful although driving is not for the feint-hearted with a plethora of sometimes scary hairpin bends! In the centre of the island is the protected Parque Nacional de Garajonay with its dense, lush flora and fauna; great for walkers. More than a third of this small island, which is less than 13 miles from north to south, is protected by UNESCO, and due to the mountainous terrain there are some particularly quaint old customs such as the whistling language, historically used by the locals to communicate between the valleys.

TRANSFERS TO LA GOMERA

The capital and main port, San Sebastian with numerous restaurants, bars and shops, is famed for its links with Christopher Columbus and the small town is riddled with memorabilia and plaques denoting the places that he visited or stayed, and a weeklong Columbus festival is held annually. The main street, Calle Real, and main square, Plaza de las Americas with its balconied mansions, picturesquely evoke memories of former colonial times.

Fly to Tenerife South airport and following a 20 minute transfer to Los Cristianos port, cross by catamaran or ferry to La Gomera (approx 40 minutes). Crossing timetables are limited and you may need to stay overnight in Tenerife at the beginning or end of your holiday especially if your flight arrives in Tenerife after 3pm. Christmas and New Year ferry times are restricted and we advise booking a Tenerife hotel if your journey involves a flight on 24, 25, 31 Dec or 1 Jan. Please note that transfers on Tenerife and La Gomera may be in a shared minibus, and that ferry timetable changes and delays may result in us making alternative arrangements on Tenerife.

PLAYA DE SANTIAGO The small, peaceful fishing village of Playa de Santiago is located at the southernmost point of La Gomera in a sheltered and attractive setting. There is a pebble beach and a port and at the centre of the harbour area, Plaza del Carmen, a favourite meeting place for the locals with restaurants, bars and a seafront promenade.

Many Classic customers choose to stay on the island of La Gomera for the whole of their trip, but two centre holidays are very popular. Combinations can be arranged to include any hotel on neighbouring Tenerife and you might like to spend a week or so in the popular resorts of Playa de las Americas, Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos followed by a week in the peace and tranquillity of La Gomera.

SIGHTS La Gomera is truly unspoilt providing a perfect destination for those wanting a tranquil holiday. The 18 hole course beside Hotel Jardin Tecina at Playa de Santiago also makes it a great getaway for golfers, and for keen walkers the lush dense flora of Parque Nacional de Garajonay, is a must. The island boasts a rugged coastline with a few pebbly and black sand beaches: the best are at Playa Santiago and Valle Gran Rey, with another in the north close to Vallehermoso.

CLASSIC GRAN CANARIA The most southerly Canary Island boasts delightful variations of scenery and climate normally associated with an entire mini continent with micro climates including warm coastal areas with 50km of golden beaches, temperate midlands, subtropical forests and high peaks where occasionally snow falls as the sun shines brightly on the coast. Gran Canaria’s vibrant and cosmopolitan capital and bustling seaport, Las Palmas, is the largest city in the Canary Islands. The central Parque Santa Catalina is a popular shady square with cafés and bars and is just a short stroll from the 3km beach at Playa de las Canteras. The city’s historic centre is Vegueta, home to some delightful little squares, museums, a cathedral and Casa de Colon, the house where Columbus once stayed. Situated in the middle of Ciudad Jardin (The Garden City), a leafy oasis created in the 19th century by British merchants, is Parque Doramas, a beautiful landscaped park with a grand hotel and the Pueblo Canario (Canarian Village) a complex of traditionally built houses.

THE NORTH COAST

CENTRAL HIGHLIGHTS

DUNAS DE MASPALOMAS

Agaete on the northwest coast surrounds a striking rocky bay and boasts delightful botanical gardens that are well worth a visit. For gardening enthusiasts and nature lovers, there’s also Jardin Canario, located to the southwest of Las Palmas in Tafira, and Caldera de la Bandama, a substantial volcanic crater 1,000m wide.

Gran Canaria’s mountainous interior, fantastic for sightseers, ramblers and serious hikers alike, includes spectacular crags, caves, and charming old villages such as Artenara, and Tejeda. The most famous is the well-preserved village of Teror, which acts as the island’s spiritual centre and features some of the best examples of colonial style architecture, plus a beautiful 18th century church.

The protected natural park of Dunas de Maspalomas encompasses a region of spectacular sand formations and the area boasts more than 6km of golden sandy beaches where the dunes meet the ocean, plus there’s a freshwater lagoon and delightful palm grove.

PALMITOS PARQUE

CATAMARAN CRUISES Set sail on a specially designed glass bottomed catamaran in search of some of the 29 different varieties of dolphins and whales that can be found off the south west coast of Gran Canaria.

THEME PARKS Set in a tropical oasis in the south of the island, the vast water park Aqualand Maspalomas, boasts an abundance of waterslides and attractions to suit all the family. Alternatively, at Sioux City, the theme is of a traditional town in the Wild West with gunfights and shoot-outs and lots of stunt performing acrobats.

CORRALEJO

JANDIA PENINSULA

Formerly a sleepy fishing village, Corralejo is now Fuerteventura’s premier resort. Happily managing to retain a laid back Spanish atmosphere, the resort offers numerous facilities with fine seafood restaurants, chic bars, cafes and shops lining the streets around the bustling harbour. Corralejo boasts some of the island’s best beaches and there are several small sheltered coves located close-by, and, just 4km away, one of the area’s major attractions, Dunes Nature Reserve with its immense 10km stretch of desert-like sand dunes. Thanks to the favourable trade winds there is excellent windsurfing and surfing as well as a whole host of watersports, plus golf courses and a waterpark.

The leaf-shaped island of Fuerteventura can be geographically divided into two and in the south the long narrow Jandia Peninsula is fringed on the eastern side with excellent sandy beaches stretching for over 30km between the resorts of Costa Calma, Morro Jable and down to the landmark lighthouse at Punta de Jandia. The beach resort of Costa Calma lies at the start of the Jandia Peninsula and features several small shopping centres with an array of restaurants and shops and there's a colourful bustling market on Sundays.

CALETA DE FUSTE Situated on the east coast, the modern resort of Caleta de Fuste (also known as Costa Caleta) boasts a sheltered beach skirting a wide horseshoe shaped bay. Popular with families, this attractive beach resort features a bustling harbour perfect for al fresco dining, tree-lined streets with cafes and restaurants, a shopping complex with stylish boutiques, and numerous music bars for livelier nightlife. Although well placed for exploring the whole island, the airport is only a 20 minute drive away so some aircraft noise may be experienced.

About 4km from Costa Calma, on a wonderful sweep of golden sands with a spectacular mountainous backdrop, is the tranquil resort of Playa Barca where the sheltered beach and clear waters are perfect for windsurfing and diving. There are plenty of restaurants although nightlife tends to centre around the hotels. Further south lies the modern, sleepy resort of Playa de Jandia. Popular with couples and honeymooners, it boasts a cluster of high quality hotels, a quiet stretch of beach and a few restaurants. Within easy walking distance is Morro Jable; once a small fishing village, now a pretty and bustling resort, it is built on a steep hill with a promenade lined with bars, restaurants, cafes and shops stretching the length of the beach. Great for family beach holidays, there are plenty of watersports on offer and further along the coast are some excellent surfing beaches.

CLASSIC LANZAROTE Famed for its year round sunny climate, Lanzarote’s interior is a mix of ochre coloured lunarscape mountains and low lying lava fields whilst the coast is a haven for watersports fanatics with perfect weather for windsurfing and sailing, clear waters for diving and snorkelling, and fabulous beaches for sun worshippers.

Lanzarote is the most easterly and the fourth largest of the Canary Islands. It is 37 miles long and 12 miles wide and despite its volcanic moonscape nature it, somewhat surprisingly, boasts many white sandy beaches such as those found at Playa Blanca and Punta del Papagayo although numerous beaches are covered with black volcanic sand like the beach at Playa Quemada. Lanzarote is famed for its watersports and the ideal weather conditions, coasts of clear waters, and the fine sands, ensure its popularity with windsurfers, surfers and sailors, and the plethora of underwater caves, reefs, shipwrecks and fish such as barracuda and angel shark, are fantastic for diving, snorkelling and big game fishing.

The 600m long main soft sandy beach is in the heart of the resort, and there are three smaller coves which are slightly more sheltered from the winds. Nightlife is fairly low key although there is a good variety of restaurants, bars and shops.

PUERTO CALERO

Haria

Timanfaya National Park

PUERTO DEL CARMEN This former fishing village is now a busy, popular resort boasting a long beach of golden sand and two additional beaches, all providing excellent facilities. For a quieter time there is a small cove in the old part of Puerto del Carmen, popular with the locals and ideal for a spot of snorkelling. The resorts boasts an abundance of cafes and restaurants, an array of shops and boutiques, and a lively nightlife with bars and clubs lining the beachfront strip, plus the quieter delightful Old Town with its narrow streets leading down to the charming harbour. Within walking distance and towards the Matagorda area, the quieter relaxed resort of Playa de Pocillos is one of the newest on the island. It is popular with families as the emphasis is on the long, wide, blue flag sandy beach, excellent watersports facilities, and good selection of restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets. The quiet resort of Puerto Calero is a 3km walk along the coast from Puerto del Carmen and features a promenade and attractive waterfront with a stylish marina. There are a few designer and surf wear shops, plus numerous charming restaurants in the harbour area. The sandy beach is safe, perfect for families and sun worshippers.

PLAYA BLANCA Located on the southwestern tip of the island, the pretty beach resort of Playa Blanca, once a small fishing village, is a great choice for a peaceful holiday. Sympathetically developed with low-rise buildings, traffic-free avenues, attractive public areas, and a small commercial centre with a handful of shops, the main attraction is the glorious blue flag awarded white sandy beach. Additionally, there are a number of small beaches in the area and a short distance away is the famous and unspoilt sandy beaches at Playa Papagayo. Ferries to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura run from the harbour which also features a good selection of seafood restaurants, waterfront cafes and bars, plus there’s a further choice of eateries in the old village.

CLASSIC MALLORCA With a wide variety of culture, history and natural terrain it is not surprising that the sheer beauty of Mallorca captivates everyone who visits. From the north with its rugged mountainous region of Tramuntana, across a vast central plain towards the gentle hills of the Levante mountain range in the east, Mallorca, an island of contrasts, offers a succession of beautiful coves, sandy bays, rugged mountains and a coastline of over 500km. In sharp contrast to the lively and sparkling bay of Palma with its dazzling nightlife is the alternative Mallorca composed of captivating little villages untouched by time surrounded by a multitude of tree species: ancient olive groves, carob trees growing on terraces and clinging tenaciously to the mountainside, fragrant almond orchards, pine forests and oak groves are scattered all over this beautiful island. Mallorca enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate in high summer with maximum temperatures cooled by the influence of the sea, and whilst it is warm and sunny from March to November, it is only slightly cooler from December to February.

CLASSIC COSTA DEL SOL Where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean, the Spanish region of Andalucia is an area of stark contrasts, from the white peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the low lying green plains and from the bright lights of the coastal resorts to the volcanic landscapes of the Tabernas Desert. Often referred to as ‘the bridge between two continents’, Andalucia, with a population of more than seven million, covers more than seventeen percent of Spanish territory, making it the largest single region in the whole country The Andalucian coast is almost 900km long and with the quality and warmth of the water plus the eternal sun, this coast has become a favourite spot for holidaymakers from all over the world. The region of Andalucia is divided into eight provinces and we feature a selection of the very best hotels in the coastal province of Malaga on the Costa del Sol. Golden beaches, beautiful mountain ranges with a wealth of flora and fauna, white washed villages plus a host of cities to rival any in Europe, and with recently improved developments to the infrastructure, all are now easily accessible from the coast. Because Andalucia is a popular tourist destination, you may encounter some traffic disturbance in the busier resorts and some congestion along the main roadways. Granada

Cuisine

Boasting the highest density of golf courses in Europe, with many designed by celebrities such as Severiano Ballesteros and Gary Player, there is without doubt a course to suit all levels of play. Golf however is not the only sporting activity on offer with an abundance of tennis clubs, equestrian centres and various water sports available up and down the coast.

The Arab presence throughout the course of history has made a profound impression on the Andalucian gastronomy. Tapas (small plates of tasty snacks) and gazpacho are traditional fayre and an abundance of good restaurants lays testimony to the wealth of choice of delicious recipes. And, of course, one must not forget to mention the grapes! Numerous wines are produced throughout the region; the most internationally celebrated being the sherry wines from Jerez, although, due to the mild climate and long hours of sunshine, other areas also produce excellent quality wines.

Climate On the coast hot sunshine and cloudless skies tend to be the rule. Summers are hot and at times humid, the afternoon heat is usually tempered by sea breezes.

CLASSIC gibraltar Holding a unique strategic location on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar and linked to the Spanish mainland by a narrow isthmus, Gibraltar has attracted visitors for centuries. British, Moorish, Genoese, Portuguese, Spanish, Jewish, Maltese and Indian are all cultures that have left their stamp throughout a rich and tumultuous history. Today these influences are evident in the architecture, cuisine and customs of Gibraltar where you’ll be met by an eclectic mix of cultures that has developed from the many settlers who have made Gibraltar their home. Despite the imposing appearance of the Rock, which during seven centuries of Moorish dominion was referred to as Jebel Tarik or Tarik’s Mountain, after Tarik Ibn Zeyad the Berber Chief who led the Muslim invasion of Europe, Gibraltar is small. In total the area that it covers measures less than six square kilometres and thanks to the newly opened Dudly Ward tunnel one can now drive all the way around 'The Rock'. It is the southern most point of Europe and the only place in Europe where monkeys range free in a semi-wild state. It is also steeped in history; an intertwining of civilisations and cultures which dates back many thousands of years. It is a living history reflected not just in the Gibraltarians themselves, but also in the many legacies that remain to this day, including a number of prehistoric caves, a medieval castle and 11th century baths, Georgian and Victorian buildings as well as architecture which reflects Portuguese, Genoese and Moorish influences.

Shopping

SIGHTSEEING

Gold jewellery, watches, perfumes, porcelain figurines and designer wear are perhaps the best buys, although cigars and spirits tend to be the most popular duty free purchases.

Located more than 300 metres above sea level, with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites, is St Michael’s Cave. The main chamber has been transformed into a large subterranean auditorium, and provides a unique venue for concerts, ballet and drama. The spectacular Alameda Botanical Gardens feature a cable car up to the Apes’ Den. The views from the summit of the Rock are quite simply breathtaking.

Climate Gibraltar has an average of 320 days of sunshine a year and temperatures can rise well above 30 degrees centigrade in summer, although the subtropical sun of North Africa is tempered by gentle sea breezes. Fresh springtime breezes and occasional showers, some of which can be very heavy, permeate the winter months.

Cuisine You can find most ethnic and international cuisine in Gibraltar including Indian, Chinese, Thai, Argentinean, Japanese, Moroccan, Kosher, English, Danish, French, Spanish and Italian. Fish lovers are particularly well catered for with Catalan Bay on the east side and the marinas featuring a number of restaurants specialising in sea-food. For lighter bites there is no shortage of English and Irish pubs, and Irish coffee houses.

Gibraltar is also the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding cultures, countries and continents. Enjoy a day trip to the ancient town of Seville, or discover Jerez. Whilst a short ferry ride across the Strait lies Morocco and the considerable and exotic charms of Tangier.

MADEIRA

CLASSIC MADEIRA Madeira is quite literally an exotic Floating Garden. Discovered in 1419 by Portuguese navigators it is located 560km off the West African coast in the Atlantic Ocean and is approximately 57km in length and 26km wide. Madeira offers many places of historical interest and natural beauty, from small undiscovered villages, churches and museums to immense mountains with lush plantations, flora and fauna. Funchal, the capital of Madeira is a bustling cosmopolitan city with a distinct British feel offering a wide choice of shops and restaurants located in attractive tree-lined streets with cobbled footpaths. Approximately half the island’s population lives in Funchal; The centre of town is especially busy where the 16th century streets attempt to cope with 21st century traffic! Gifts and souvenirs are well-made craft items such as tapestry, wickerwork and embroidery. Whilst in Funchal visit Avenida Arriaga 28 where you may taste the delights of Madeira’s famous wine, Sercial being the driest, Verdelho medium dry, Bual medium sweet and Malmsey the sweetest.

CLIMATE

Thanks to a sub-tropical climate and mountainous landscape you will find a profusion of exotic flowers including wild camellias, mimosa, agapanthus, eucalyptus and hydrangeas to name but a few species. The Botanical Gardens are well worth a visit.

Generally warm and sunny throughout the year, however with lush green landscapes you can expect rain on occasion. In the south of the island the weather is warm and pleasant all year round, however the temperature can be somewhat cooler in the north, and in the mountains we recommend warm clothing for walkers.

CARNIVALS AND FESTIVALS The preference for festivals over work is perhaps nowhere so pronounced as on Madeira. In addition to the islands four major festivals, Carnival, the Flower Festival, the Wine Festival and its internationally renowned New Year’s Eve celebrations, the islanders have a busy schedule of public holidays, saints’ days, local parish festivals and small celebrations.

WALKING

Pico Ruivo

Câmara de Lobos

FLORA AND FAUNA

FUNCHAL

The island’s amazing levada irrigation system spans 2,500 kilometres stretching from the north of the island to the south. Easy to navigate paths run beside the gently sloping (sometimes flat) levada water channels giving walkers an opportunity to explore the island’s splendid countryside. More adventurous walkers should consider a mountain or ridge walk and comfortable walking shoes are a must.

MADEIRA BROCHURE Our specialist brochure to Madeira features more than thirty hotels and quintas on this beautiful island which is famed for its gardens, striking coastline and levada walking trails. Our brochure contains general and historic information plus a calendar of events for both Madeira and Porto Santo islands plus city-break information about Portugal’s capital, Lisbon. To order a copy, simply visit www.classic-collection.co.uk or telephone us on 0800 008 7288.

ISLAND TOURS

EXTREME SPORTS

This capital city boasts a lively marina and working port. The streets are lined with flower sellers, old town houses, small shops, pavement cafés, bars and excellent restaurants. The covered market with its exciting fish market in the basement is full of the colour and bustle of island life, and the Botanical Gardens play host to a profusion of plants and flowers. Visit the Wine Lodges to sample the world-famous Madeira wines.

There are various routes around this beautiful island. An eastern island tour includes Pico de Arieiro, the third highest peak offering magnificent views, the village of Santana famous for its traditional thatched roofed houses, the vineyards at Quinta do Furao, and the small fishing village of Machico. A western island tour takes in Câmara de Lobos, a picturesque village once captured on canvas by Sir Winston Churchill, Cabo Girao, reportedly the highest sea cliff in Europe, Paul da Serra, a magnificent plateau at 1,600 metres and Porto Moniz, famed for its natural rock pools.

Diving, surfing, canyoning, sea kayaking and big game fishing are all available in the clear coastal waters around Madeira.

GARDENS OF MADEIRA Madeira’s subtropical climate plus a wonderful combination of indigenous and imported plants combine to produce gardens that are the envy of horticulturists from all over the world. Garden-lovers must visit the Botanical Gardens in Funchal, the public gardens and the Tropical Gardens at Monte, and the beautiful Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro gardens.

PORTO SANTO The beautiful beach-lovers island of Porto Santo lies approximately 27 miles to the northeast of Madeira – the journey by local ferry takes about two and half hours each way.

DISCOVER MADEIRA IN A PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR-DRIVEN CAR OR JEEP We are pleased to arrange private chauffeur driven cars or jeeps with English speaking drivers. For further details of excursions and sightseeing possibilities, simply call our reservations team in the UK, or contact our resort manager when you arrive at your hotel.

LEVADA AND HILL WALKING One of the best ways to discover the beautiful rural interior is to enjoy a levada walk either independently or with an organised group of ramblers. The mountainous and volcanic interior is more suited to serious hikers: Pico Ruivo, the highest peak is a favourite destination for walkers.

MONTE AND CAMACHA A cable car from Funchal rises high above the city to Monte where you can visit the twin towered Church of our Lady of Monte and the beautiful public gardens. Return to Funchal by traditional toboggan, cable-car or on foot. Most of the wicker products sold in Funchal are made in and around the sleepy village of Camacha where you can watch weavers at work before purchasing picture frames, baskets and peacockthrones!

CLASSIC ALGARVE Stretching for 100 miles along the southern coast of Portugal the Algarve offers glorious year-round sunshine, countless sandy beaches, hidden coves, fresh Atlantic waters and a sultry Mediterranean feel. Today as a meeting point between Europe and Africa, the Algarve is a fascinating mixture of Moorish, Portuguese and European cultures with a landscape more North African than European. Fig trees, orange and almond groves and meticulous vineyards dominate the gently undulating hills a few miles inland from the sea, bringing welcome bright colours to the landscape. As well as beaches, gentle countryside and charming, unspoiled old-fashioned villages a major attraction of the Algarve is its towns. Faro, Lagos and Tavira have evident Moorish influences, Silves, Salir and Alte are quiet mountain towns and a throwback to a time when life moved at a gentler pace.

CLIMATE

What to do

With more than 250 days a year filled with sunshine the Algarve has a consistently good climate. Thanks to the Gulf Stream a fresh, springtime breeze permeates the winter months. The summer months can be very hot although beautiful beaches, deserted coves and innumerable freshwater swimming pools are never far away if you need to cool matters down, helped by a refreshing Atlantic breeze.

The Algarve is a top destination for sports and activity based holidays. With great weather and superbly designed golf courses, the region has developed a well-earned reputation for offering world class golfing opportunities. But don’t overlook the fact that tennis has developed a loyal following too with many hotels offering excellent court facilities.

Cuisine As you might expect from a coastal region, the cuisine of the Algarve is heavily influenced by an expansive range of fresh fish and seafood. Caught daily by the local fishermen, sole, tuna, sardines, lobster, crab, squid and crayfish are the mainstay of most menus in the hotels and restaurants of the area. The traditional dish of the region, cataplana, comprises a succulent mix of ham, sausage, cockles, clams, onion, garlic, white wine and spices. You’ll also find a spicy taste of Portugal’s former colonies in Chicken piri-piri made with Angolan peppers. With a ready supply of almonds and figs, Portugal excels at sweet desserts.

Given the large number of glorious southfacing beaches water sports enthusiasts will never be disappointed. Jet-skiing, sailing, windsurfing, big-game fishing and scuba diving are all readily available, although options might be more limited in the winter months. Adrenaline junkies might prefer to move inland to try abseiling, caving, paint-balling, archery, mountain biking, trekking, horse-riding white–water rafting, or take to the wheel and go karting at the outdoor track in Almancil. Tailor-made fourwheel drive safari trips can meet almost any request. There’s even hot air balloon flights and parachuting! And for those who love shopping, Portugal is renowned for its colourful handpainted pottery and tiles. Embroidered linen and napkins are widely available as is the excellent locally produced wine.

CLASSIC EGYPT In just over five hours flying time from the UK, Egypt provides an exhilarating holiday destination with its luxurious hotels and exclusive cruise ships. It’s a land of huge contrasts from the teeming life of Cairo to vast deserts; from ancient lifestyles of the Bedouin to palm fringed beach resorts of the Red Sea. A warm welcome is always guaranteed by the Egyptian peoples whose official language is Arabic, although English is widely understood. In 2013, Ramadan will be observed from 9 July and so will have no impact on the holidays featured in this winter brochure. As it is a religious country, modest dress is essential. Please note that as the Egyptian government is investing in tourism, some of the newer resorts are subject to development, although we are confident that this will not adversely affect the enjoyment of your holiday in any of our featured hotels.

CLIMATE Much of Egypt is desert and the whole country is hot and dry with very little rain. Away from the coast, summers can be scorchingly hot and winters more moderate with comfortable temperatures. From November to February the daytime temperatures around the Red Sea rarely fall below 24˚C and although still warm, the evenings may seem cool in comparison. Water temperatures average between 20˚C and 23˚C in the winter.

CUISINE Local dishes, which tend to be seasonal, are simple and wholesome. Essentially, Egyptian cuisine is based around tomatoes, garlic, olives, eggs, onions, lamb, fish, chicken and pigeon, and a wealth of spices, fruits and nuts and pastries both savoury and sweet. Thick dark coffee, occasionally served with cardamom, sweet tea and fruit juices are the most prolific drinks. As a Muslim country, alcoholic drinks, although readily available in hotels and restaurants, are not in evidence elsewhere.

CURRENCY The Egyptian pound is divided into 100 piastres. It is a closed currency and cannot be purchased outside Egypt. Pounds, dollars and traveller cheques are accepted in all banks and bureaux de change.

TIPPING Tipping is customary and commonplace and any tips (baksheesh) will be gratefully received.

VISAS INCLUDED Classic Collection Holidays includes the price of your Egyptian visa in the cost of your holiday and, on arrival in resort, you will be met by our local representative who will deal with all necessary visa administration on your behalf. Please note that all visitors to Egypt must hold a current passport with at least 6 months validation beyond your departure date from Egypt. We can only include visas for British Citizen passport holders, and non British Citizen passport holders should check their visa requirements with the Egyptian Consulate in London (0207 2359 777 ext 29).

CORAL REEFS Due to the coral reefs present in the shallow waters close to many Red Sea beaches, sea swimming is often accessed by jetties from the beach and for environmental reasons paddling in the shallow coral filled waters is prohibited. Where coral is protected, sea swimming is available from the end of each hotel’s jetty.

CAIRO Acknowledged by Arabs as the Mother of the World (Umm Dunya) since medieval times, Cairo remains to this day the largest city in Africa and the Middle East. Home to nearly 20 million people, Cairo is an immense and extraordinary megalopolis where medieval and modern, rich and poor, donkey carts and limousines collide within a mesmerising and ever-changing streetscape. Recognised as one of the super-capitals of the world, the chaotic, hectic and vibrant ambiance of this vast, sprawling, city is tempered by the warm, helpful and friendly welcome extended to visitors by the bestnatured and most easy-going city-dwellers

MOROCCO

CLASSIC MOROCCO Just a four hour flight from the UK, Morocco encapsulates the exoticism of far distant lands. The towering Rif and Atlas Mountains proved historically to be an impenetrable barrier to successive invaders, thereby preserving a rich cultural heritage of lifestyle and language in this southern Mediterranean country.

Within the walls of Morocco’s ancient cities a large number of former Moroccan merchant’s homes have been beautifully converted into small riads of great charm and character providing delightful retreats. In a country where it is not acceptable for the rich to flaunt wealth, riads have a modest exterior, a covered passageway which leads to an interior courtyard where silence is only broken by the sounds of a fountain in a central courtyard. Lounges and dining areas, open on one side, are built off the courtyard which is overlooked by the upper storeys onto whose suspended corridors the bedrooms open out. Roof terraces offer relaxing areas for dining al fresco boasting great views into the medina below. To stay in a riad is to appreciate Moroccan hospitality at its very best.

Atlas Mountains

The currency of Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham. As it is a closed currency it cannot be purchased outside Morocco. The current exchange rate is approximately 12 Dirhams to the £1. Sterling cash and Travellers Cheques can be exchanged at the airport on arrival or in the resort hotels. Cash point machines are available in most cities and towns. Visa and MasterCard are the most widely accepted cards. Owing to low levels of income, tipping is customary and commonplace in Morocco. Tips are readily accepted and gratefully received.

The food of Morocco reflects the country’s diverse cultural heritage. The Berber influence remains strong with many of the ‘essential’ Moroccan dishes such as couscous, tajine (tasty stews) and harira (hearty soups) being Berber in origin. The Bedouin Arabs introduced dates, milk, grain, bread and dried pasta. The Moors brought Andalusian foods to the feast – nuts, fruits, herbs and oil. Invading Arabs brought a wealth of spices from the East. Essentially Moroccan cuisine is based around the staples of peppers, tomatoes, garlic, olives, eggs, onions, couscous, chicken, lamb, pigeon, fish and a wealth of spices, fruits, nuts and pastries both savoury and sweet.

Morocco is a mountainous and surprisingly green country of outstanding natural beauty where the dazzling peaks of the Atlas Mountains give way to silent shifting sands of the Sahara, whilst gently undulating hills of eucalyptus and argana trees succumb to long ribbons of golden sand on the Atlantic coast. Spring starts from as early as January, and sustained sunshine and blue skies of autumn often extend through November and although you’ll need to be cool in the heat of the day, you’ll need to show respect for the Muslim religion covering up from the shoulder to just below the knee. Swimwear is only acceptable when you’re in close proximity to a swimming pool or beach.

ESSAOUIRA

AGADIR

Few cities in the world enjoy such an intoxicating atmosphere as Marrakech where the rose-pink walls of the ancient city sit low beneath the soaring peaks of the Atlas mountains. The fronds of towering palm trees jostle for position above the medieval ramparts where nesting storks colonise vacant turrets. Marrakech has attracted visitors for centuries and the Djemaa el Fna square is the focal point to which tribes and travellers have been drawn since ancient times. Each day as the shadow of the elegant Koutoubia minaret lengthens towards the Djemaa el Fna square the carnival begins.

Essaouira is undoubtedly the most charismatic of Morocco’s coastal towns. Above the medieval battlements of the medina the white-washed, blue-shuttered houses look out over an arc of perfect golden sand towards the sea and bustling harbour. Inside the city walls, the coastal breeze threads its way through a maze of streets and alleyways where art galleries, antique shops, smart boutiques and serious surf shacks (catering for the wind-surfing fraternity which is drawn to the town) sit alongside market stalls, barbers and traditional workshops. As relaxing as it is enchanting, Essaouira offers an easy-going and beguiling holiday experience.

Agadir, as Morocco’s premier beach resort, delivers all you could expect of a modern, well-planned resort offering a wonderful year-round climate and 10km of fine, golden sands neighbouring the Atlantic ocean. A 16th century Kasbah stands guard over the modern port to the north of the town, and gardens and parks separate the residential area from the resort’s many hotels which border treelined promenades, boulevards and the beach. There are numerous restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs, as well as a huge selection of shops and a small colourful souk.

The restaurant serves international cuisine including a weekly Moroccan themed evening, and during the day, lighter snacks are available on the terrace or by the pool in the gardens. Guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the beauty centre with traditional hammam boasts the use of closely-guarded secrets in its therapies: there’s a delightful oriental discovery package for two starting with a black-soap body scrub and finishing with glasses of champagne on the terrace.

CLASSIC cyprus Boasting a rich and diverse history plus a natural beauty ranging from golden beaches to rugged coastlines, rolling hills and forest clad mountains, Cyprus is a popular year round holiday destination. Greek is the official language although English is widely spoken and you will definitely feel at home if you hire a car as the Cypriots drive on the left hand side of the road! With the recent developments to the Cypriot infrastructure, driving is uncomplicated and it is certainly well worth hiring a car to explore the island’s interior. Nicosia is the largest city and the capital, well worth a visit for its historic city walls and churches. Limassol, a large cosmopolitan resort on the coast, is the second city of the island. With excellent shopping facilities and a wide range of tavernas, restaurants and bars along a fifteen mile stretch, Limassol is a busy and bustling centre. Paphos, with its charming harbour, superb historical sites and a n e a n S e aan ancient monuments, ihas t e r r become ed M holiday choice. increasingly popular

Nicosia Nicosia is not only the capital of Cyprus, but is also known as the last divided city of Europe. As well as giving the opportunity to look across the Green Line into the Turkish occupied area, there is much to explore in this historic city including the Archbishop’s Palace, the Cathedral of St John and an Archeological Museum.

Cyprus has a typical Mediterranean climate but its proximity to the land-mass of southwest Asia makes it one of the hottest parts of the Mediterranean.

Enjoy the delightful Mediterranean waters on a boat or catamaran trip. Most coastal resorts have fishing boats from which you can try your hand at sea fishing. Serious anglers may wish to get a licence from the Fisheries Department to allow you to fish in the wellstocked inland reservoirs.

SIGHTSEEING Troodos Mountains Delight in the stunning views and scenery of the pine-clad Troodos Mountains and Mount Olympus, passing through traditional villages and exploring the famous Kykkos Monastery with its wealth of frescoes and mosaics.

PAPHOS

PAPHOS

Cuisine & CLIMATE Cypriot cuisine is closely related to that of the Greeks and fresh local ingredients are widely used, as is one of the island’s own products, olive oil, and regional herbs and spices add up to what is quintessentially Mediterranean cuisine with an interesting twist! Local specialities are numerous but the most famous has to be mezedes or meze, as it is more commonly known.

Paphos combines the beauty of the mountains and the sea and boasts a friendly atmosphere with plenty to see and do including the Byzantine Castle of Paphos, the Tombs of the Kings, St Paul’s Pillar and the Temple of Aphrodite. Evenings can be pleasantly spent on the beach promenade with its plethora of restaurants serving international and meze specialities.

Cruises and fishing

Walking, Cycling and Golf There are many opportunities for hiking in the Troodos Mountains either independently or with organised groups, and a ramble along the Aphrodite and Adonis trails on the Akamis Peninsula in the westernmost part of the island is a must. Cycle hire facilities exist in most resorts, but if you are an ambitious mountain biker and wish to explore the Troodos Mountains and Akamis peninsula, you may prefer to bring your own. For golfers, Secret valley, Tsada Golf and Aphrodite Hills are three excellent 18-hole courses in the Paphos area.

MALTA & GOZO

CLASSIC MALTA & GOZO There can be view places in the world which offer as much variety per square mile as Malta. Boasting 7,000 years of history, it is a sunny island just fifteen miles by nine in the heart of the Mediterranean whose gloriously aristocratic capital, Valletta, is elegantly poised above its own grand harbour. Nearby on quiet, rural Gozo, you’re never more than a stone’s throw from the sparkling sea. Malta’s bustling streetscape is populated with delightful baroque churches and regularly invaded during the summer months by exuberant local festivals, or fiestas, known as festas. The island’s earliest archaeological sites and beautifully preserved megalithic temples are the oldest free-standing buildings in the world - pre-dating the Egyptian pyramids whilst imposing medieval fortress towns have dominated the landscape since the times of The Knights of St John. Sandy beaches may be few and far between but the surrounding waters are renowned for their sparkling clarity and stunning shades of blue.

Cuisine

CLIMATE

Traditional Maltese cooking started out as rustic, peasant dishes dependent on seasonal local produce and the freshest offerings of the fisherman’s catch. Dishes were baked communally in the village oven after the baker had delivered the crusty hobza bread. Nowadays Sicilian influences are evident in the ubiquitous pasta and pizza dishes offered. More traditional dishes include, hobza, delicious sourdough bread, aljotta, a nourishing fish broth made with rice, tomato and garlic and pastizza, flaky pastry stuffed with ricotta or mushy peas. Timpana goes head to head with fenek in the vote for the islanders’ favourite dish. The former is a baked macaroni pie, stuffed with cheese, egg, minced beef, tomato, onions and garlic. The latter is rabbit, whether stewed, roasted, fried or baked in a pie. Traditional sweets include dates, almonds, hazelnuts, honey, treacle and light pastry. A wide selection of beers, spirits and liqueurs are available including wines from the local winehouses of Marsovin and Delicata. Amongst the huge number of restaurants on the island, English, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Lebanese and Thai cuisine are all widely available.

Malta’s climate is typically Mediterranean and boasts more than 300 days of sunshine a year. The months from June to September are the hottest with particularly high temperatures in August and high humidity in September. Visit from April until June and the countryside, carpeted with beautiful wild flowers, is a riot of colour under clear, bright skies. Holidaymakers from late September to early November benefit from sunny days and surprisingly warm water temperatures. Winter visitors can expect mild temperatures and sunny days interspersed with short, sharp and impressively torrential showers! Winds are a feature of Malta’s climate; bringing cooler days in winter and refreshing respites in summer.

GOZO Delightfully translated as ‘joy’ in Castilian, Gozo, is easily reached by a 25 minute ferry ride from Malta. This tiny island boasts a stunning seascape and delightful rural interior although the real beauty lies in the timeless villages where the locals, although treasuring their peace and tranquillity, are known for their friendliness and helpfulness to visitors. Victoria, also known as Rabat, is the geographic and economic capital and both here and across the island there are delightful local traditions and customs and numerous restaurants serving local and international cuisine.

CLASSIC ITALIAN CITIES A winter city break to one of Italy’s famous cities can be as cultural or as relaxed as you wish. Delight in the romance of Venice’s palaces, basilicas and grand squares, enjoy the colourful renassance architecture in Florence or wonder at the treasures of Rome.

VENICE

FLORENCE

ROME

A romantic city famed for its palaces, basilicas, grand squares, and gondolas which glide around its delightful waterways, Venice has a legendary history that is simply unparalleled. There are many daily flights to Venice although for true romantics we can book an overnight journey from London by venice Simplon-Orient-Express (available year-round except Dec-Feb); undoubtedly the most stylish way to travel. One of the undisputed wonders of the world, Venice which is built on more than 100 beautiful islands, it utterly romantic. Ancient canals wend their way between palaces and basilicas, and grand squares are filled woth atmosphere and light. Views from the Grand Canal via water-taxi or gondola are unmissable: the Canal stretches 4km from the railway station, Stazione Ferrovia, to St Mark’s Basin with vistas of more than 200 ornate palaces and grand houses along the way. By foot, you can easily discover St Mark’s Basilica and the Bridge of Sighs, before whiling away an hour or so over a cappucicno in St Mark’s Square; a hectic spot bustling with visitors. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit and although coller, winter boasts a mystical beauty and Christmas breaks spent in Venice are becoming increasingly popular.

Set in Tuscany, on the banks of the River Arno, Florence is historically and architecturally fascinating. One of Italy’s best loved cities, it provides a haven for art lovers; boasting the colourful renassaince architecture of the Duomo Cathedral: for a bird’s eye view, clim up into Brunelleschi’s magnificent dome or the equally impressive camponile designed by Giotto. There are numerous palaces and 24 historic churches including San Lorenzo, the first Renassaince church, Brancacci chapel with its sublime frescoes, the cavernous Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce brimming with art treasures, plus nearly 70 museums and art galleries including the world famous Uffizi. Visitors to Florence will want to spend time luxuriating in all that it has to offer: its art and architecture, its colourful history and traditional cuisine. However, if time allows, you should definately visit neighbouring Fiesole, just 8km to the northeast. Fiesole boasts an austere cathedral, some exhilarating hill walks and fantastic views of Florence below. Day trips to Pisa and the prosperous provincial capital of Lucca, to the west, are a must; and the rolling hills of Chianti leading to Sienna, 70km south, are delightful to explore.

This amazing historic and artistic capital of the world traces its roots back over 2000 years and begs its visitors to enjoy it sights, its treasures, its food, its wines and its people. Rome certainly wasn’t built in one day, and for thousands of years merchants, pilgrims and tourists have wended their way towards this magical city which crowns seven hills along the winding banks of the Tiber. Rome has unarguably the richest, fullest history of any city on earth. Its position in the world’s greatest Empire, its significance as a religious and cultural centre, its turbulent centuries of upheaval and aristocratic and papal rivalries have led to a culturally, architecturally and artistically unique city. But Rome is far from simply being a museum: it’s a colourful and vibrant living capital whose food, culture, scenery and ambiance make for an exciting city destination.

Please note many areas of Italy have introduced a per person tourist tax which is payable locally on departure from the hotel.

CLASSIC flights & car hire Choice of flights We know that our customers like to fly from a local airport that is convenient to them and because we tailor-make every holiday to suit you, we are able to book scheduled, charter or no frills flights from a wide range of UK airports. Please call our reservations team for further details regarding the services provided by different airlines. Scheduled airlines These offer high frequency and often daily services to our destinations which allows you the luxury of choosing your departure day and holiday duration. Scheduled flights provide a high level of service and comfort, normally with generous legroom (typical seat pitch 31 inches), punctuality, meals relevant to the time of day, plus complimentary bar and in-flight entertainment. Scheduled services also give you the chance to upgrade to business and first class cabins. Classic Collection Holidays offers flights with all scheduled carriers. Domestic flight connections via London So that our customers can take advantage of the flexibility and reliability of scheduled flights from London, we are pleased to offer domestic flights from all UK airports. No frills flights Often referred to as low cost airlines, these flights do not provide complimentary in-flight drinks, meals, or entertainment and seats are not normally allocated prior to boarding although families with young children are given priority boarding status. Prices vary dependent upon travel dates and when you book. We can easily include a no frills flight from your local airport, but if you wish to book your own no frills flight we are happy to book the rest of the holiday for you. Charter flights Through a range of charter airline partners, we are delighted to offer a choice of direct flights from many UK airports. These flights may restrict your holiday duration to 7 or 14 nights, but we know that to fly direct to your holiday destination from your local airport is normally preferable.

Often the best way to explore is by car and we can book a hire car for you in most of our destinations. We can easily book a car for any duration with a choice of vehicle including family saloons, cabriolets, people-movers, four-wheel drives, and sports cars. We have included some guide prices below, but simply let us know the type of car you would like to hire and we will ensure that we get the best possible price for you at the time you book your holiday.

Private jets Together with travel industry partner, FHR, Classic Collection Holidays enjoys a partnership with a fully licensed airline company which specialises in the provision of private executive aircraft. For total flexibility, privacy and convenience, we can charter a private aircraft giving you the ability to create your own holiday timetable to any of our destinations. You can choose the aircraft type, the seating arrangements, the level of service, your departure airport and the flight timings that suit you best.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION MAKING A BOOKING

Our experienced team can give you the name of our appointed travel agent in your area and will help you choose a suitable holiday and make a reservation on your behalf. If you book through a travel agent, they will check details and availability with us and if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays. If you make a booking directly with us, we will discuss and confirm the details of the holiday with you and, if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays and your credit card details will be taken at that time. In either event, you must sign the completed booking form and pay the appropriate initial payment or, if within 8 weeks of departure, the full holiday price. The booking form and payment must reach us within 4 working days of the booking being confirmed and we reserve the right to cancel the booking and apply full cancellation charges if they are not received within this time. Late bookings made within 8 weeks of departure require that the total balance is paid immediately. Normal cancellation charges apply to late bookings should you subsequently cancel. Recommendations can be made by our team although the final decision as to hotel and resort suitability is ultimately your choice and we cannot be held liable for our suggestions. Please note that for staff training purposes, telephone calls may be monitored and/or recorded. Special requests such as adjoining rooms, dietary requirements etc, should be detailed under Special requests on the booking form. We will inform the property management and/or carrier of your requirements but we cannot guarantee that these will be met. Where additional local costs are involved, payment should be made directly to the supplier. If you have a disability or suffer mobility difficulties, please complete our Special Needs Checklist before we confirm your booking. You may wish to research the suitability of your chosen property with Tourism for All 0845 124 9971/73 www.tourismforall.org.uk

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

Passports, visas & travel advice Your passport, visa and immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. For British Citizens, a full ten-year passport is required for travel and it is recommended that your passport is valid for six months from your return date to the UK. Children under 16 must hold their own five-year passport. Contact the UK Passport Agency 0870 521 0410 or www.passport.gov.uk for details. Please note that your name and initials on your flight tickets/documentation must match those on your passport. For all aspects of travel overseas, contact the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) tel 0845 850 2829 or visit www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo. Egypt Classic Collection Holidays normally includes the price of your Egyptian visa in the cost of your holiday and on arrival, you will be met by our local representative who will deal with all necessary visa administration on your behalf (except for Cairo airport arrivals where a visa must be purchased by you when you land). We can only include visas for British Citizen passport holders, and non British Citizen passport holders should check their visa requirements with the Egyptian Consulate in London (0207 2359 777 ext 29) prior to travelling. Vaccinations & health requirements In certain countries, it is wise and sometimes obligatory to have certain vaccinations. Currently none of our destinations require vaccinations, although as regulations frequently change, you should check with your travel agent or Department of Health for up-to-date information. Travel documentation Your flight tickets including e-ticket information and holiday itinerary will be dispatched approximately 10 days prior to your departure. Late bookings may require a TOD (ticket on departure) which may incur a small charge.

OUR BROCHURE & HOLIDAY DETAILS

Brochure accuracy This brochure was printed on 26 June 2012. Details are valid for departures from 1 November 2012 to 30 April 2013 or until publication of any revised edition, or you are notified otherwise by your travel agent or our reservations staff. All the facts in this brochure are re-checked for accuracy by our staff and, where possible, our hoteliers, although of course it is always feasible, especially in low season, that facilities may be unavailable as hotels, especially those which are open all year round, will require maintenance (eg pools), redecoration and refurbishment. Service within hotels may change from time to time eg dining changes from traditional waiter service to buffet style. Such events are regrettably beyond our control although we will alert you to significant changes at time of booking, or if you have already booked, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. Hotel details We are happy to advise hotel web addresses, but cannot accept responsibility for their accuracy. Room types and upgrades Single rooms normally carry a supplement which is for the convenience of having a room to yourself and location/facilities may be inferior to that of a twin room. In family rooms and twin or double rooms that take additional beds, do note that the extra bed/s could be of a folding or convertible sofa type and beds for children may not be full adult-sized singles. When additional beds are put in a room, floor space will be reduced and cupboard access may be limited. Junior suites normally have a sitting area, and suites have a sitting area or separate sitting room. Ocean or sea view rooms enjoy views of the ocean/sea although foliage, buildings etc may sometimes interrupt a full view. Ocean facing or sea facing rooms will face the ocean/sea but will normally be on lower floors where the view of the ocean/sea may be obscured through gardens/trees etc. Side ocean view or side sea view rooms offer a restricted view of the ocean/sea. Room upgrade supplements are normally detailed on the hotel pages, but occasionally you may see the phrase on request which means that we will have to contact the hotel for up-to-date prices. Hotel facilities normally incur a charge eg sun loungers, tennis, squash, mini-golf, pool table, watersports, entry to disco/nightclub, use of fitness/leisure and spa facilities, children’s clubs, cots, safety deposit boxes and car parking.

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288

Nights & meal arrangements The number of nights on your confirmation invoice refers to the number of nights reserved in your hotel. If you arrive late at night or in the early hours of the morning, your accommodation is immediately available as it has been reserved for the whole night and this will count as one of your holiday nights. If you have booked half or full board, you may lose a meal due to your time of arrival or departure and this will have been reflected in your holiday price. Full board normally consists of breakfast (usually continental buffet-style), lunch and dinner; half board is breakfast and dinner. Half board or full board arrangements, as indicated in the hotel descriptions, are generally served in the main dining room and are based on a standard table d’hote menu although this normally includes a choice of dishes. Many hotels offer buffet style meals and some a combination of waiter and buffet service. A full a la carte menu is available for an extra cost in most of our hotels and customers should note that when half or full board is offered as a la carte dining, exclusions such as lobster, prawns etc may be available for a local supplement. Most hotels offer the option of booking any number of nights on half or full board so that you can pay in the UK and decide which nights you wish to eat at the hotel when you arrive: simply ask our reservations staff for details. Dress code Due to the sophisticated nature of many of our hotel restaurants, shorts and t-shirts are unacceptable for evening dining and slightly more formal attire is recommended. Children & infants Some children’s prices are detailed on our hotel pages but owing to space restrictions, we cannot detail all relevant prices and you should contact our reservations department for specific prices. To take advantage of children’s prices, a child must normally be aged 2-11 years at the date of return and must share a room with two adults or full fare paying passengers, although some hotels offer special reductions for a second child sharing the room, or for older children, or for a child travelling with one adult, or where children share an interconnecting room. Children paying child prices can normally benefit from reduced half board supplements (when booking same board basis as adults) and will not normally be charged room supplements although if these are payable, relevant prices will be advised at time of booking. Normally children staying in their own room will be charged as full fare paying passengers including relevant room and half board supplements. Please note that where children’s reductions are relevant, their date of birth and age on the date of return from holiday must be advised on the booking form. Infants (under two years of age at date of return) pay a charge to cover our administration costs and additional charges may be levied for certain flights, inter-island connections or business class cabins. Hotels will charge locally for food and cots. Please note that the regulations applied to the manufacture of cots in other countries are not as high as those in the UK and may not conform to British safety standards. Also please note that the date of birth and age of infants on return from holiday must be advised on the booking form. Child seats Although we can request child seats for private transfers in resort, they cannot always be guaranteed and in such cases we suggest that you bring your own (see complimentary BubbleBum offer page 9). Babysitting arrangements are available at many properties although the service will vary and the sitter may not remain in the room with the child. If you wish to use a babysitting service, you must arrange and pay for it locally with the sitter who is frequently a member of the hotel staff not qualified in child care. Check in/out On arrival at hotels, check in time is normally 4pm and check out 12 noon. Most hotels can provide luggage storage and changing room facilities if you arrive earlier or stay later and you may be able to pay locally for a late check out: simply contact your hotel reception. Health & safety All our properties are checked regularly for compliance in respect of local regulations. However, guests must exercise caution particularly with regard to fire safety, swimming pools, balconies, lifts etc, where compliance may not be equal to British standards. Resort development may be in progress and occasionally the work involved will result in building work being in evidence. We cannot forewarn of all developments, however, if the works taking place, either through noise or other inconvenience, is felt by us to affect your overall holiday enjoyment, we will supply all such information to you directly or via your travel agent. Many of our resorts are in popular holiday destinations which invariably have busy road networks so you may encounter some traffic disturbance especially during peak season. Representation Due to the specialist nature of our programme it is not always practical to visit our guests in their hotel particularly where multi-centres, island hopping or fly drive holidays are booked. All customers will be given emergency contact numbers, and departure details will be confirmed on arrival in resort. Our resort representative or local agent will normally make contact within 24 hours of your arrival to ensure that everything is in order, although should you encounter any difficulties during your stay, please contact your hotel manager in the first instance, and if further assistance is required, simply contact our resort manager or local agent who will endeavour to resolve the problem. Your holiday price includes 1. Return flights between the UK and overseas airport (where applicable) 2. Luggage allowance as specified on your airline documentation 3. Private transfer or hire car between the overseas airport and your hotel (as detailed on our confirmation) 4. Accommodation and board basis as detailed on your confirmation 5. Services of our representative or local office/agent 6. Egyptian entry visa for British Passport holders (excluding Cairo airport arrivals) Please note that refunds are not available for services provided but not utilised Your holiday price excludes 1. Transport between your home and departure airport 2. Travel insurance (condition of booking) 3. Meals and refreshments en route, except those included on aircraft 4. Optional excursions 5. Cost of passports and relevant visas 6. Cots and local infant charges 7. Excess baggage including golf clubs etc 8. Italy tourist tax

CLASSIC BOOKING CONDITIONS Our commitment to you

1. Provision of your holiday We will arrange for the provision to you of the services which make up the inclusive holiday as confirmed to you. These services will be provided either directly by us or by independently contracted suppliers. When you, or your travel agent ask for your holiday booking to be confirmed, we allocate your chosen holiday to you and give confirmation of the booking at that moment. It is then that a firm contract exists between you and Classic Collection Holidays Limited (Registered in England no. 1512421) on the basis of this brochure. This also acts as your acceptance of our booking conditions and your holiday is secured from that moment. We will later send you or your travel agent a holiday confirmation invoice verifying the details and prices of the holiday that you have already booked, which in most cases will have been confirmed by telephone. All holidays and offers advertised in this brochure are subject to availability. 2. Your holiday price A. When you book All prices, supplements and offers shown in this brochure are based on costs at time of printing (26 June 2012) although we reserve the right to amend all prices, supplements and offers (up or down) when we receive notification of new costs. Some hotels intentionally practice fluid pricing which means that their costs (reflected in our prices) may significantly increase during periods of high demand. This may affect the hotel’s standard room prices although the most significant changes will be noticed when booking superior room types. Prices in this brochure include airline rates applicable at the time of printing and although these rates will generally be available for the validity of the brochure, occasionally during periods of excess demand, when the relevant class is unavailable, we will book the next available fare class which may result in you paying a higher price than that promoted in this brochure. The government charges a levy to cover financial protection in the event of an airline failure and we automatically add this to your invoice total at the booking stage. Once you have confirmed your holiday booking, the price is protected subject to clause 2D of these booking conditions. B. VAT and Exchange rates Our VAT Registration number is 503 944 749 and all prices quoted in this brochure include VAT where relevant (at 20% at time of going to press). The brochure prices of holidays were calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 25 May 2012 in relation to the following currencies: Euro: 1.1296, US Dollar 1.5636, Moroccan Dirham 13.7890. Please note a) these rates are not comparable with note or tourist rates which are quoted in national newspapers b) hotel costs, transfers, resort representation, excursions, local taxes and part of the flight cost are typically paid in the currency of your holiday destination country. Aviation fuel is paid in US Dollars. All of these costs are affected by changes in the cost of buying foreign currency, as per exchange rates listed above. We reserve the right to increase our prices in accordance with these booking conditions. C. Price Promise If you can find the same flight inclusive holiday at a cheaper price at the time that you book, we undertake to match the price and will give an additional £10 per adult saving off any competitor’s price. In order to take advantage of our Price Promise, the component parts of the relevant holiday must be identical and we reserve the right to request confirmation in writing of the relevant competitor’s holiday price. Our Price Promise cannot be actioned retrospectively after a booking has been made, and it is only available on new bookings made during the validity of this brochure. Unfortunately we cannot always match prices where we believe our competitors have made a pricing error or where they are offering the holiday arrangements at a price below their operating costs. If a competitor’s price is greater than £150 per adult and/or £50 per child below our price, we deem one of these two scenarios to be true and will not honour our Price Promise. D. Surcharges (after booking) Once you have booked, the price of your holiday travel arrangements may be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator or organiser, and also in respect of government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, and any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. For larger variations, this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission. In the unlikely event that this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your holiday travel

202

arrangements, you may cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. 3. If your booking is changed It is unlikely that your booking will have to be changed, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance, therefore we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes are very minor, but where they are major, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. A major change is one that is made to a major part of your holiday arrangements before departure, such as a change of your departure airport (except between London airports), resort area or time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering accommodation with a lower category rating. If we have to make a major change you have the choice of the following: A accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you, B purchasing another available holiday from us, or C cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. Additionally, if we make a major change after you have paid the full balance of your holiday and you accept A, B or C you will be entitled to compensation on the scale shown below. Period before scheduled departure Compensation within which a major change is per adult notified to you or your travel agent: More than 56 days Nil 43-56 days £20 29-42 days £30 15-28 days £40 0-14 days £50 Important note Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by reason of war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, or other circumstances that may amount to force majeure. 4. If your holiday is cancelled We reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all money you have paid us or will offer you an alternative holiday of comparable standard to purchase. In no case, except for those beyond our control, will your holiday be cancelled after the balance is paid and in such cases compensation will be paid per clause 3. 5. What happens to complaints Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be settled amicably may be referred to arbitration if the customer so wishes, under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). The ABTA scheme provides for a relatively simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer with regards to cost. Under the scheme, customers must pursue their claim within 12 months of the date of return from their holiday. (Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the Company agrees, although the ABTA scheme does not require such agreement). The scheme does not apply to claims for amounts greater than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking, neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. However, the scheme can deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a per person limit of £1,000 on the personal injury or illness element of the claim. Full details can be provided by us, or can be obtained from ABTA at www.abta.com. 6. Our responsibility for your holiday We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of the inclusive holiday, limited to items included on confirmation invoice are supplied to you as described in this brochure and to a reasonable standard. If any such part is not provided to your satisfaction due to the fault of our employees, agents, or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday (see Important note in paragraph 3 above). Our liability in this respect is limited to a maximum of three times the value of the holiday. We must ask you however, to be patient and understanding in the event of unforeseen alterations to your holiday made by our suppliers over whom we have no direct control. 7. Excursions (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of the holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract is with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us and we are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision.

any airport I any airline I any day & duration

8. Personal Injury (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure and that the suppliers of the various services which will be provided to you as part of the inclusive holiday are efficient, safe and reputable businesses, and that they comply with the local and national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those services. We have no direct control over the provision of services to customers by suppliers. However, subject to the Notes below, we will pay to our customers the equivalent of such damages as they would be entitled to receive under English law in an English Court for any personal injury to the customer, including illness or death, caused by the negligence, as understood in English Law, of the servants or agents of ourselves or of any of our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by us to provide any part of the arrangements for your holiday as described in this brochure. With regard to any relevant international convention for example, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail, and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage, we are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. Copies of these can be made available on request. Air Passenger Rights Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/ or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in paragraph 3. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport Users’ Council on 020 7240 6061 www.auc.org.uk 9. Personal Injury (Unconnected with travel arrangements made by us) If you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your holiday arrangements or an excursion arranged through us, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs or benefits received, under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5,000. Under your travel insurance cover, you must make an insurance claim under the legal expenses section in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that purpose. Notes in respect of paragraphs 8 & 9 We would request that you (a) notify us of any claim for personal injury within 2 months of your return from holiday; (b) assign to Classic Collection Holidays any rights against a supplier or any other person or party you may have relating to the claim; and (c) agree to co-operate fully with us should our insurers wish to enforce those rights. This assignment is necessary to enable us to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to customers and associated costs as a result of personal injury to customers caused by the negligence of those suppliers. It is not our wish to profit from such assignment, and in the unlikely event of our recovering more than such compensation and costs, any excess will be paid to the injured customers.

Your commitment to Classic Collection Holidays

1. Your holiday contract As soon as your holiday booking is confirmed, you must sign a booking form accepting our booking conditions. Your contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English law and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. Any disputes arising will be heard in the English Courts unless you prefer the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland. 2. Payment for the holiday You pay a deposit of £150 per person (or 10% of total cost if greater, or an agreed sum to cover costs where flight seats are purchased at time of booking) when you book. This is your commitment until 8 weeks before departure when your final balance is due. You must pay the balance at least 8 weeks before departure. For bookings within 8 weeks to departure, full payment is required at time of booking. If payment is not received as above, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and your deposit/s would be forfeited. If you pay money for your holiday to an ABTA travel agent, they will hold that money as our agent from the time they receive it until they pay the money to us. All credit card payments incur a charge (1% at time of printing but subject to change)

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288

3. If you change your booking If you want to change any details of your booking (eg transfer to a different holiday, departure date or airport), we will do our best to help as soon as we receive your request in writing. We charge an amendment fee of £25 per person named on the booking form for each detail of the booking changed and, in addition to the amendment fee, we will charge for any additional costs we incur in making the amendment/s. Please note that it is highly likely that amendment costs will increase the closer the change is made to your departure date. IMPORTANT Some travel arrangements (eg flight tickets purchased specifically from certain airlines and certain hotel bookings) may not be refundable or transferable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request may incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that particular part of the holiday arrangements. Where the price varies depending on the number of persons travelling and the numbers are amended, the price will be recharged on the basis of the new party size. Any increase in price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation is not a cancellation charge and will not normally be covered by your chosen insurance. A separate cancellation charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4 below. A new confirmation invoice will be issued as appropriate on which the cancellation charges will be shown. 4. If you cancel your booking You or any member of your party may cancel your booking, or part of it, once it has been confirmed, but the instructions will only be valid if in writing and signed by the person who signed the booking form. Your written instructions should go either to the travel agent you booked with, asking them to notify us immediately, or if you booked direct, to our address. To compensate us for the expense of processing your booking, payment of cancellation fees are on the scale shown. The amount payable (by whomever signed the booking form) depends on when we receive your written instructions. Period before scheduled departure Amount of cancellation within which written holiday charge (shown as a % instructions are received by us of total price) More than 56 days Deposit/initial payment 43-56 days 30% or deposit if greater 29-42 days 50% or deposit if greater 15-28 days 70% or deposit if greater 8-14 days 90% or deposit if greater 7 days to departure date or after 100% NB. You may make a claim if your cancellation falls within the terms of your travel insurance policy. 5. If you have a complaint If you have a complaint about your holiday please refer the matter to the supplier immediately (airline, hotel, car hire etc). If further assistance is required our agent/ representative in resort should be contacted. Matters can most easily be resolved for you on the spot, when the supplier can see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, then complain afterwards. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved to your satisfaction our agent/representative will ask you to record details on a holiday report form of which you will be given a copy, and you must then follow up your report by writing to our Customer Services Department within 28 days of returning from resort. 6. Holiday participation We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a customer if their conduct is disruptive and affects the enjoyment of other holidaymakers, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so. Aircraft captains are legally entitled to deny boarding to any passenger presenting themselves at the aircraft who, at the captain’s absolute discretion, are unacceptably under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any passenger who is denied boarding on the outbound flight for that reason, shall be deemed to have given notice of cancellation of his/her booking at that moment, and cancellation charges will apply in accordance with paragraph 4. 7. Your accommodation The accommodation provided is only for the use of passengers shown on the confirmation invoice as confirmed by us; subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited. 8. Your travel ticket conditions When you travel with an air or sea carrier, their conditions of carriage apply, some of which limit liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries, and copies of the conditions which apply are available for inspection at the travel agent where you book your holiday. 9. Data Protection Act Classic Collection Holidays is registered under the Data Protection Act 1998 and will deal with all personal data you provide to us in accordance therewith. It is necessary for us to pass on your personal data to airlines, hotels, transportation companies, insurers and other agents in order to arrange the holiday you require. By making a booking or a booking enquiry with Classic Collection Holidays you have consented to allow the passing on of such data as we determine necessary for that purpose. Under the Data Protection Act, you have the right to inspect any relevant personal information held by us.
