Main case - not exceeding 23kg (50lbs), with dimensions not exceeding 76cm x 45cm x 25cm (30” x 18” x 10”).

    I am traveling with a child/young person, is there anything specific I need to consider before my trip?

    • Younger guests are just as important as our older ones, so we’ve taken care to craft action-packed itineraries that’ll impress children aged five years or older. All children and young people under eighteen years old must however be accompanied by an adult who will be responsible for their supervision and welfare. Some countries have established practices to prevent international abductions of children and because of this, it is recommended that you secure a “Child Travel Consent” prior to departure if you are traveling with a minor who is under eighteen years of age. This documents that a minor has permission from his or her parent(s) or guardian(s) to travel and may be requested by authorities and officials when a child is traveling internationally: With one parent or guardian; Without a parent; Alone; With an adult who is not a parent or guardian. If the traveling parent has sole custody, he or she will require a notarized true copy of a court order or equivalent proving custody. If both parents have custody, or the non-traveling parent has custody, the traveling parent will need notarized consent from the non-traveling parent. We recommend that you contact relevant consulates and airlines for additional information and guidance.

    If I have health and medical needs, how can I best prepare for my trip?

    • To ensure a healthy and enjoyable trip, we strongly suggest that you pack a plentiful supply of any medication that you may need while on holiday. All prescriptions should be filled, up-to-date and in their original packaging. Always pack prescriptions in your carry-on bag with copies of your prescription paperwork as your checked luggage may not always be easily accessible, particularly in the event of delays, lost luggage etc.
    • You might be concerned that enhanced airport security measures concerning the quantities of liquids that you can carry aboard an aircraft will prevent you from taking your medication on flights. However, as long as your medication is accompanied by the relevant documentation from your doctor (a doctor’s note or letter should be fine), you're entitled to take it with you on board your flight.
    • We would always advise you to research the rules around taking your medication to your destination country and what proof of treatment you’re expected to bring with you. Please also contact your doctor or health care provider before traveling to determine which vaccinations or other health precautions are recommended for your travels. Most countries in which we travel do not need any special vaccinations, but requirements can change at any time and we strongly recommend that you check for more detailed and current information before you travel. Each guest must comply with entry, health and other requirements of the countries visited during your trip.
    • Guests should advise of any dietary or health-related issues that might affect them during their travels. For example, if a guest carries an auto-injector for nuts or other allergies etc. or has a condition requiring special attention.
    • Please notify me of any disability requiring special assistance prior to traveling. This enables us to make reasonable adjustments in order to accommodate the specific requirements of those traveling with a disability. A companion should always accompany those guests who require individual assistance to walk, get on and off the coach and other vehicles and for personal needs such as dining, dressing etc.

    Can I bring a wheelchair or a motorized scooter on my trip?

    • Wheelchair

    Yes, in most circumstances you’re able to travel with a wheelchair on your trip, as long as you’re traveling with someone who’s willing to provide personal assistance.

    • Motorized scooter

    Not all itineraries will be able to accommodate a motorized scooter, but it is important that we look into all elements of the vacation and our guests needs.

    For all specific requirements, including requests such as this, please tell us at the time of booking if you plan to bring a wheelchair or a motorized scooter to ensure we can meet your needs.
