ITINERARY

Message fromGOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEEI am thrilled to announce an unforgettable trip to the Baltics for the summer of 2019! After many years of the Israel Experiences and our most recent trip the Mediterranean Experience cruise, we are bringing you another phenomenal cruise, the Baltic

Experience! This all-inclusive cruise will feature some of the most beautiful places in the Baltic Sea and we will get to travel to and absorb these destinations aboard a luxury cruise ship from the Azamara Cruise line. If you have traveled with us before, you already know that all-inclusive means exactly that and that there no surprises along the way. The Baltic Experience will be no different. And when the weather is often unbearably hot throughout most of the US in August, we will be enjoying the cool and delightful weather that makes travel in the Baltic region perfect. Once again we have the entire ship and will fill on time on board with spectacular entertainment and special guests. In addition to the cruise we have multiple pre and post cruise offerings you can choose from to extend your trip. Our last cruise sold out in record time so we encourage you to get your cabin secured soon. We look forward to traveling with you soon and as always we will work and do everything in our control to bring you The Greatest Trip.

See you on the boat,Mike Huckabee

The cruise ships can be quite large and require lots of walking onboard. Because many of the sites visited on shore excursions are not accessible to the physically challenged, those needing oxygen, wheelchairs, or other ambulatory assistance will find the cruise extremely limiting to their experiences. If you have questions, please contact EO Tours for more details.PASSPORT INFORMATION, CONFIRMATION OF ITINERARY & CHECK IN PROCESS: Passport information must be submitted to our office 04/11/19. Failure to provide your passport information to our office by this date may result in change fees or denial of travel. 120 days prior to your trip you will be contacted to re-confirm your itinerary, travel arrangements and registration information during the preliminary check in process for your trip. Discrepancies in information or failure to check in for your cruise may result in change fees, delays in receiving travel documents for your trip, or denial of travel. PRICE INCREASES:All prices quoted in this brochure are subject to change prior to payment in full due to cabin availability changes, currency fluctuations, fuel surcharge increases, government taxes and fees increases or unforeseen circumstances. In addition, you may be subject to a price increase after payment in full has been received due to potential government imposed taxes and fees.AIRLINE ROUTES and TICKETS:In order to keep prices low, EOT and BDT does not guarantee the most direct routing to your final destination. Once “printed”, airline tickets cannot be changed or refunded thereafter. Air transportation to/from your destination will be economy class on IATA and ARC carriers utilizing APEX or SUPER APEX non-refundable, non-amendable tickets for groups of 10 or more flying together on entire itinerary. If you choose to depart from a different city than your group or travelling companion, or deviate your flight and/or trip plans, and/or you are taking a pre or post tour, you may fly on a different scheduled flight(s) than the rest of your group.FLIGHT TIMES: All flights are subject to change by the airlines without advance notice. EOT and BDT is not responsible for such changes or delays and does not reimburse expenses resulting from such delays. If you are making your own flight arrangements to the departure city, we recommend you purchase a ticket that can be exchanged without large penalties.ADDITIONAL AIRLINE FEES:You will likely incur additional airline checked baggage fees that are not included in the price of the tour. These fees vary by airline and are at the airline’s discretion on each segment of the flight itinerary. Additionally, you may incur optional fees (food, excess baggage, overweight baggage, items of personal nature, etc.) as well. For more information, visit www.eo.travel/travelinfo/airlinefees.aspx.DEVIATIONS:Deviations from the standard tour program must be submitted in writing and are subject to additional airline fees, if applicable. Transfers for passengers who deviate are not included.ITINERARY CHANGES:Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this brochure. While you will see all sites listed in this brochure, the order of sites and/or days and number of days may be altered to accommodate changes in cruise line, airline, hotel schedules, and local conditions. Due to cruise and airline schedules, some participants may receive one or two extra leisure days at a nominal per day charge and some extensions/options may not be available on all departure dates. If itinerary changes necessitate extra overnights, you will be charged $200 per night; single rooms $300 per night.
