The Peninsula, Paris
Experience the exceptional
Once you glimpse the gleaming carriages and are greeted by the smartly-dressed
stewards in their distinctive uniforms, you’ll know that one of the most memorable
journeys of your life is about to begin.
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the last word in rail travel, evoking luxury and
service from a bygone era. Relax in your wood-panelled cabin, sip cocktails in the bar or
enjoy 5-star dining in the restaurant car as the world rushes by your window.
Take the classic London to Venice voyage or select which cities you would like to visit
and we can tailor a personalised itinerary. Choose from London, Paris, Berlin, Prague,
Vienna, Budapest or Venice. We also offer trips within the UK.
Multi-centre options
Some of our destinations are perfect matches for a longer, multi-centre break; and
because our holidays are truly bespoke, it’s simple for us to create an itinerary
which is perfectly tailored to your personal requirements.
For a truly memorable break, visit the beautiful, historic towns of Andalusia. There’s so
much to see, from Granada’s stunning Alhambra Palace and Cordoba’s mesmerising
Mezquita, to the famous Alcazar of Seville. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!
Extend your Paris break by taking the high-speed train to Bordeaux. You can explore the
history and culture of Aquitaine, sample the delights of the local vineyards, or relax on
the beach in Biarritz. You can even hop over the Spanish border to visit San Sebastian.

Whether you’re new to Paris or paying a return visit, the city always delights; a city
break destination without equal!
The Eiffel Tower offers a spectacular panoramic view of the city from which to get your bearings.
Across the River Seine, the Arc de Triomphe sits at the hub of the world’s largest roundabout and
from here you can wander down the Champs Elysées to the Tuileries Gardens and on to the
Louvre museum. Montmartre, the ‘artists’ district, is an area of contrasts - visit the hilltop basilica
of Sacré-Coeur or enjoy an evening at the legendary Moulin Rouge! The gothic cathedral of Notre
Dame stands on an island in the Seine and if you head south from here you’re in the Latin Quarter,
a lively area with cafés, bars and second hand shops. To escape the bustle of the city spend some
time in the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg, a great place to watch the world go by.

error of which we are aware of and then the applicable price at the time of booking. You
must therefore check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at
the time of booking.
Deposits
For flight inclusive bookings we take a deposit of £100 per person and for
accommodation only bookings a deposit of £75 per person.
Deposit amounts may be higher if we have to make non-refundable commitments for
you at the time of booking. For example a low cost flight or a non-refundable hotel
booking. Don’t worry, we’ll advise you at the time of booking if this is the case.
Payment
The balance of your holiday cost must reach us no later than 10 weeks before departure
or in the case of bookings made within ten weeks of departure full payment must be
made at the time of booking. If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time,
we are entitled to treat your booking as cancelled by you and will be entitled to keep all
deposits paid at that date. If we do not treat your holiday as cancelled straightaway
because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges
detailed below depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled.
All monies you pay to one of our authorised travel agents for your holiday with us will
be held by the agent on our behalf until they are paid to us or refunded to you. If you
chose to pay your holiday balance by credit card (excluding Amex) we’ll charge a 1.5%
fee for all transactions. Balance payments made by Amex card will be subject to a 2%
fee.
The price you pay
We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold holiday arrangements at any time
and correct errors in the prices of confirmed holidays.
The price of your confirmed arrangements is subject at all times to variations in:
(i) transportation costs, including the cost of fuel; or
(ii) dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation
or
disembarkation fees at ports and airports; or
(iii) the exchange rates used to calculate your arrangements;
Prices may go up and down but there will be no changes made within 30 days of your
departure.
If prices go up, we will only charge you any amount that exceeds 2% of the price of
your arrangements, (excluding insurance premiums, amendment charges and/or
additional services), plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person and an amount
to cover any agents’ commission. If that means that you have to pay an increase of more
than 10% of the price of your arrangements (excluding any insurance premiums,
amendment charges and/or additional services), we will offer you the options in
‘amendments and cancellations’ clause 1.
Your Contract
A binding contract between us comes into existence when we issue our holiday
booking confirmation to the party leader or your travel agent. This contract and all
matters arising out of it are governed by Scottish law. If you live in England, Wales or
Northern Ireland, proceedings may be brought in the Courts of your home country and
in this event, you may choose to have your contract governed by the law of England
or Wales/Northern Ireland as applicable. In all cases, any dispute, claim or other matter
which arises out of or in connection with this contract or your holiday may be dealt
with under the ABTA Arbitration Scheme (see below).
Special requests
Special requests relating to your arrangements must be advised to us at the time of
booking and confirmed to us in writing. Whilst we will try meet or arrange your
reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. Special
requests that have been noted on your confirmation or any other documentation do
not amount to a promise to meet that request. A failure to meet any special request will
not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically
confirmed.
or if the change made is a minor one. The compensation per adult is dependent on the
period of notification before departure: More than 8 weeks - Nil; within 8 weeks - £20;
within 6 weeks - £30; within 4 weeks - £40; within 2 weeks - £50
2. By You
Should you decide to alter your booking after our confirmation has been issued we’ll
do our best to accommodate you. If any member of your party is prevented from
travelling, that person may transfer their place to someone else (introduced by you)
providing we are notified not less than two weeks before departure. Where a transfer
to a person of your choice can be made, or where we are able to make an alteration at
your request, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any
of our suppliers as a result together with an amendment fee of £25 must be paid before
the transfer or alteration can be effected. For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay
the charges levied by the airline concerned. As most airlines do not permit name
changes after flights have been held for any reason, these charges are likely to be the
full cost of the flight. The names on your holiday booking confirmation must bear the
same title, first name and surname as your passport. If you alter your arrangements
after you depart from the UK, then you may have to pay additional costs locally. Please
also appreciate that the majority of our contracts do not permit refunds for services
cancelled or altered without considerable notice so refunds for unused car rental, flight
tickets, transfers and other services are rarely possible.
If you cancel your booking prior to departure then the following charges will apply: 70
or more days - loss of deposit; from 43 to 69 days - deposit plus the remaining 35% of
holiday cost; from 31 to 42 days - deposit plus the remaining 50% of holiday cost; from
22 to 30 days - deposit plus the remaining 75% of holiday cost; 21 days or less - 100%
of holiday cost.
Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis
of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding any amendment charges.
Amendment fees are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply
cancelling. Notice of cancellation must be received in writing and will be effective when
it is received by us. Clients are strongly recommended to take out travel insurance
offering protection against cancellation. Where any cancellation reduces the number of
full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places
and/or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we’ll recalculate these
items and re-invoice you accordingly.
insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you
are assumed to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.
(b) Claims covered by an International Convention When arranging transportation
for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within any applicable
International Conventions. The extent of our liability will in all cases be limited as
if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions, which include The
Warsaw/Montreal Convention (international travel by air); The Athens Convention
(with respect to sea travel); The Berne/Cotif Convention (with respect to rail travel)
and The Paris Convention (with respect to hotel arrangements). You can ask us for
copies of these Conventions.
(c) Claims not falling under (a) or (b) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or
death. The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of all claims not
falling under (a) or (b) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or death these
claims is twice the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This
maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you
or your party has not received any benefit at all from your arrangements.
Flights
When information as to airline, aircraft type and airport of destination to be used in
connection with any flight included in your holiday is provided at the time of booking
or subsequently, it is subject to change. Any such change will not entitle you to cancel
or change to other arrangements without paying our normal charges.
Delay
We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to ‘force majeure’ as defined above.
A delay to or cancellation of your transport service does not automatically entitle you
to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in
conjunction with your transport. However, you may be entitled to claim under the delay
section of your travel insurance policy.
Accommodation Star Ratings
We have used our own common-sense star rating for each of our featured properties.
This rating should not be used as a price guide, nor is it based on the facilities on offer.
It is the Osprey Holidays assessment of the standard of the property compared to others
in the market we know. Additional images and information on the properties in this
brochure are available on our website www.ospreyholidays.com.
Complaints and Disputes
Emergency Assistance
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems
with your holiday whilst away, you must immediately inform the supplier of the
service(s) in question, or Osprey Holidays Ltd. You should then follow up any complaint
in writing to us within 28 days of your return to the UK. For all complaints and claims
which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept
liability for any complaints that are not notified entirely in accordance with this clause.
All clients have access to our 24/7 UK emergency contact number which is manned
by senior staff.
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number V3690. We are obliged to maintain a
high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an
arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of this contract. The scheme
is arranged by ABTA and administered independently. It is a simple and inexpensive
method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you for costs. The
upper limit on claims is £5,000 per person and £25,000 per booking. The scheme
doesn’t apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their
consequences. It can however deal with claims which include an element of minor
injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per
person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA
within eighteen months of the date of return from holiday. For injury and illness claims,
you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to
mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes
can be found on www.abta.com.
Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we
cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt
performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise
suffer any damage or loss (as more fully described in ‘Liability’ below) as a result of ‘force
majeure’. In these Booking Conditions, ‘force majeure’ means any event which we or the
supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.
Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened
terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather
conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control. Advice from the Foreign Office
to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure.
Liability
We accept responsibility as an “organiser” under the Package Travel, Package Holidays
and Package Tours Regulations 1992. Subject to these booking conditions, if we or our
suppliers negligently perform or arrange the services which we are obliged to provide
for you as set out on your confirmation, we will pay you reasonable compensation.
Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been
negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.

We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death,
loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from:-

Visas
British Citizens do not need a visa to visit other EU countries. British Citizens do not
need a visa to enter the USA providing your stay is no longer than 90 days duration.
All British Citizens will be issued with the appropriate US Customs forms, either at checkin or on the aircraft. It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the entry
requirements. On arrival in the USA all visitors will have their index fingers scanned
and a photo taken to verify their identity.

not the responsibility of Osprey Holidays.
Your Behaviour
If in our opinion or in the opinion of any person in authority, your behaviour is causing
or is likely to cause distress, danger, damage or annoyance to any third party or property,
or to cause a delay or diversion to transportation, we reserve the right to terminate your
arrangements immediately. In the event of such termination our responsibilities to you
will cease and you will be required to leave your accommodation or other service
immediately. We will have no further obligations to you and will not meet any expenses,
costs or losses incurred as a result. You may also be required to pay for loss and/or
damage caused by your actions directly to the applicable supplier prior to departure
from the service. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims and
costs subsequently made against us as a result.
Disabilities and medical problems
(a) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected;
Data Protection Statement
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may
affect your chosen arrangements, please provide us with full details before we confirm
your booking so that we can try to advise you as to their suitability for you. Acting
reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate your needs, we will not confirm
your booking and/or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will
treat it as cancelled by you when we become aware of these details.
(b) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the
services contracted for and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
We have measures in place to protect the personal booking information held by us. This
information will be passed on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements who
may be outside the EEA. The information may also be provided to public authorities
such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Certain
information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. We’ll only
pass your information on to persons responsible for your travel arrangements. This
applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities,
or dietary/religious requirements. (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant
suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, then we’ll be unable to provide your booking). In
making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant
person. Full details of our data protection policy are available upon request.
Your Hotel Room
We will detail the accommodation reserved on your booking confirmation and on the
voucher provided with your tickets. We differentiate between rooms with a double bed
(one large bed) and twin beds (two single beds). That said, there are occasions when
hotels will book us a Double Room and it will have two single beds placed together.
Similarly, a Twin Room may be two individual beds side by side with no gap in between.
Amendments and Cancellations
1. By Us
Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations to confirmed holidays,
we must reserve the right to do so. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to
make a ‘significant change’. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we’ll tell
you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we’ll offer you the
choice of the following options (the options below are not available where any change
made is a minor one):
a. accepting the changed arrangements.
b. purchasing an alternative holiday from us of the same standard to that originally
booked if available. If the only alternatives available are at a higher cost than
originally booked then we’ll require payment of the additional costs. If this holiday
is
cheaper than the original one, we’ll refund the price difference.
c.
cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and
quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we’ll pay you the compensation set
out below subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and
no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we
are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable
circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have
avoided even with all due care. No compensation will be payable and the above options
will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any
requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time)
(c) unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond ours or our supplier(s) control, the
consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been
exercised; or
(d) an event which either ourselves or suppliers could not, even with all due care, have
foreseen or forestalled.
(We may however provide you with assistance in the event you experience
difficulty arising out of these circumstances)
ii) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation:a) for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are
not advertised by us. For example any excursion you book while away, or any
service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.
b) for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description which on the
basis of the information given to us by you concerning your arrangements prior to
them being confirmed, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we
breached our contract with you; or that relate to any business.
iii) Any compensation that is payable will be calculated taking into consideration all
relevant factors for example (but not limited to):(a) whether or not you have followed the complaints procedure as described in these
conditions. It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this clause that you
notify any claim to ourselves and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the
complaints procedure set out in these conditions.
(b) the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the
overall enjoyment of your arrangements.
(c) when making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have
received or are entitled to receive from any transport provider or hotelier for the
complaint or claim in question.
(Please also note that where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it (and
their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to ourselves or our
insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide
ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require).
iv) We limit our responsibility to you in the following situations:(a) Luggage or personal possessions and money The maximum amount we will have
to pay you in respect of any claim for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or
personal possessions or money is an amount equivalent to the excess on your
Your Financial Protection
1. We provide financial protection for our flight inclusive package holidays, by way of
our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 0749. When you buy an ATOL protected
flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists
what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for
you and who to contact if things go wrong.
We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable
alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able do so for reasons of insolvency, an
alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a
suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those
circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree
to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative
ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to
appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim
under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an
alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air
Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL
scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely
to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to
the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or
your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be
re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under
the ATOL scheme.
2. We provide financial protection for our non-flight inclusive package holidays by way
of an ABTA bond held by International Insurance Company of Hannover.
