LONDON gAMSTERDAM London: 10-days of heart pounding adventure kick off today. Meet up with your Trip Director & share notes on London town before hitting the road to Amsterdam.

Dover: Shortly before we board our ferry for France, we’ll take in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you’re learning and we haven’t even left the UK!

Calais: Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam!

Belgium: Cross off another country off your list as you cruise through Belgium on your way to Amsterdam.

Amsterdam: Tonight, the famed for fun Amsterdam is ours to explore following an optional evening canal cruise. An undisguised Red Light District & plenty of bars are there for the curious.

Included Experiences:• Scenic drive along the Rhine River• Learn how beer steins are crafted

RHINE VALLEY gMUNICH Rhine Valley: Too much grape juice last night? Not to worry, the prospect of Munich should lift your spirits as we travel south & swap wine culture for beer.

Munich: Today our eyes will be treated to a famous Glockenspiel, a charming old town & traditional Bavarian culture. But first, take up the option to explore the side street sand English Gardens by bicycle.

Included Experiences:• See the Lorelei Rock• See the Glockenspiel & Marienplatz

MUNICH gAUSTRIAN TYROL Munich: Goodbye Munich, hello mountains. We’re hitting the road in search of lands so sweet they made The Sound of Music.

Austrian Tyrol: This part of the world is famous for adventure sports, so best sign up for the optional White Water Rafting excursion and get in the spirit of things. We’ll get outside and explore the dreamy setting we’ve descended upon, or opt for a tandem paraglide for those thrill seekers amongst us.

Term and Conditions All Contiki bookings are subject to the applicable terms and conditions. The liability of the Regents of the University of California on behalf of the UCLA Alumni Association, as

sponsor, and Contiki Vacations, as tour operator, is strictly limited. Contiki Vacation purchases transportation, hotel accommodations, and restaurant and other services from independent suppliers not

under our control. We serve only as agents for these suppliers in securing tour arrangements, and therefore will not accept responsibility for wrongful, negligent, or arbitrary acts of omissions of these

independent contractors, or of their employees, agents, servants, or representatives. The UCLA Alumni Association and Contiki Vacations are not liable for injury, damage, loss, accident, or delay that

may be caused by events not within our control, including, without limitation, acts of terrorism, war, strikes, the defect of any vehicle, or negligence or default of any third party. We will make every effort to

operate our tours as planned, but we reserve the right to make itinerary changes as necessary. If unforeseen circumstances require us to change a hotel, we will select alternative accommodations of the

same or better quality. Please familiarize yourself with Contiki’s full Terms and Conditions at: www.contiki.com/booking-conditions

Reservations & Payment We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. In order to reserve your vacation, a deposit of US$200 per person per trip is required upon booking. To reserve

your airfare, a non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of US$350 per person is required at time of booking. Once your airfare is confirmed and Contiki has received your air and land deposit, your air-

inclusive price is guaranteed. Contiki reserves the right to issue your ticket based upon receipt of your land and air deposit. Any subsequent changes and/or revisions to your airline reservation after

receipt of your deposit is subject to revision fees and/or airline-imposed change or cancellation fees. These fees are a minimum of $350, and in some instances, may be up to 100% of the ticket price.

Certain departures may require initial deposits before space can be confirmed. Please note reservations confirmed with special promotion air seats may have different final payment dates and terms and

conditions. The final balance of the vacation price must be paid no later than 45 days before your scheduled vacation departure date from America. Tickets and other documents will not be

forwarded until full payment and all necessary information has been received by us. Certain departures require full passport details at time of deposit and final payment. Contiki reserves the right to cancel

the booking and apply cancellation charges should payments not be received within the above specified periods.

Travel Insurance ALL TRIPS: It is strongly recommended that you take out comprehensive insurance coverage for cancellation, personal injury, death, medical expenses, repatriation expenses and

evacuation expenses before you travel on a Contiki vacation. We strongly recommend your insurance also covers cancellation, personal liability and loss of personal property. Please check that the

insurance covers all of the activities that you are going to be participating in. Some policies exclude certain adventure activities. This should be arranged at the time of payment of the deposit and will, in

certain circumstances, cover you against loss of deposit or cancellation fees from the date of confirmation of your booking, as shown in the insurance policy. UCLA Alumni Association & Contiki cannot be

held responsible for your failure to take out appropriate insurance. Please note there will be no travel insurance provided unless you request it and pay in full prior to departure. Travel insurance

information will be included in your confirmation packet.

Passengers who purchase from within California This transaction is covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF) if the passenger is located in California at the time of

payment. Eligible passengers may file a claim with TCRF if the passenger is owed a refund of more than $50 for transportation or travel services which the seller of travel failed to forward to a proper

provider or such money was not refunded to you when required. The maximum amount which may be paid by the TCRF to any one passenger is the total amount paid on behalf of the passenger to the

seller of travel, not to exceed $15,000. A claim must be submitted to the TCRF within 12 months after the scheduled completion date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient documentation to prove

your claim and a $35 processing fee. Claimants must agree to waive their right to other civil remedies against a registered participating seller of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which you file a

TCRF claim. You may request a claim form by fax to (213) 897-8846 or by writing to: Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation, P.O. Box 6001 Larkspur, CA 94977-6001

Passengers purchasing from outside of California This transaction is not covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund. This business is a participant in United States Tour Operator’s

Association’s (USTOA) Consumer Protection Deposit Plan. You may make a claim to this Plan if you are owed a refund. The Plan covers losses for transportation or travel services that were not delivered

or not refunded when required. A passenger may make a claim against the plan within 12 months from when the passenger learns of the loss. USTOA’s total liability for all possible consumer claims from

this seller of travel’s customers is limited to $1,000,000. To obtain information on how to make a claim against the plan, the passenger should contact USTOA at 275 Madison Ave., Suite 2014, New York,

NY 10016, or by email to [email protected] or by visiting their web site at www.USTOA.com. The maximum amount of any claim you, the passenger, can make against the plan is the total amount

you have paid to date for this trip.

Assumption of Risks: Participation in this elective trip carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injury. The specific risks vary from one activity to

another, but the risks range from 1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains, to 2) major injuries such as eye injury, joint or bone injuries, heart attacks, and concussions, to 3) catastrophic

injuries such as paralysis and death.

Indemnification and Hold Harmless: Travelers also agree to indemnify and hold the UCLA Alumni Association harmless from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages

and liabilities, including attorney’s fees, arising out of his/her involvement in this activity, and to reimburse it for any such expenses incurred.

Passports & Visas Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to visit certain countries included in your trip. You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of

your trip. Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip. Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, arrival/departure taxes,

customs, and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Consult your travel agent or visit www.visacentral.com to determine which visas you require and how to obtain them. Your passport must have at

least six months’ validity remaining when you return back to the USA. Local immigration authorities may deny entry and deport people who do not meet this requirement, even if they intend on only

staying for a short period. Important to consider: 1. Visas can take up to six weeks and a fee is normally charged. 2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you to miss part of your trip and will

result in you incurring considerable expense and inconvenience. 3. It is better to apply for all visas through your travel agent or www.visacentral.com/Contiki before you leave home. Be aware that some

visas can be purchased and arranged on arrival. 4. It is very important that the entry and exit dates are correct on the visa. Contact Contiki for full details.

Vaccinations & Other Medical Concerns Please consult your doctor to find out which vaccinations are required. If you suffer from any form of illness, be sure to have an adequate supply of

medicines before departing on your trip. You must advise UCLA Alumni Travel and Contiki of any important medical condition you may have, before departure. A medical waiver form must be filled out

and submitted for authorization with our offices before taking final payment.
