Costa Atlantica

Rhodes, Greece.The beautiful “island of Roses” has a rich and varied history. On a hill above the charming town of Lindos rises an ancient acropolis dedicated to the goddess Athena. Below lies the bay of St. Paul, where the apos-tle landed during his voyages. The crusading Knights of St. John left the medieval city of Rhodes behind when they were defeated by Sultan Suley-man the Magnificent.

Alanya, TurkeyAlanya opens tourists to an immer-sion of Turkish culture, cuisine, and beaches. This port is often a stop of Mediterranean cruise trips because of the beaches and the rich history under various empires: the Ptolemaic Empire, Seleucid Empire, Roman Em-pire, Byzantine Empire, and Ottoman Empire.

Limassol, Cyprus The south coast town of Limassol is the island’s largest seaside resort. Acting as a magnificent backdrop to the city that spreads for ten miles along the coast are the Troodos mountains, in whose fertile foothills most of the country’s grapes are grown.

16 Orange Cruises 2012

Page 17: Costa Brouchure 2011/12

Santorini, Greece.The island of Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking of the Greek islands. The town of Fira white – washed houses, narrow streets, open – air cafes and glittering boutiques cling to steep cliffs, accessible by cable – car or mule. To the south is Akrotiri where recent Minoan ex-cavations support the theories that Santorini might be the fabled lost continent of Atlantis.

Heraklion (Crete), Greece.Heraklion, the capital of Crete and its principal commercial port is just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 by Sir Arthur Evans and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of Kind Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion displays many of the treasures found during the excava-tions.

Ashdod (Jerusalem), IsraelHoly sights come thick and fast in these parts. From Ashdod, visit the awe-inspiring cities of Jerusa-lem and Bethlehem and see some of the world’s most impressive shrines and monuments. Venture into the holy heart of Jerusalem, where three world religions con-verge amidst biblical mounts and crumbling city walls.

The Captain alone makes the decisions on necessary itinerary changes and/or travel times.5.2 Such and similar individual service changes and deviations from the contractual contents of the travel contract, which become necessary after conclusion of contract and which were brought about contrary to good faith on behalf of O.C., are permitted so far as the changes and deviations are not considerable and do not impair the overall form of the holiday.O.C. is obliged to inform you of possible changes. The service changes replace the original contractual obligation. Eventual warranty claims will remain unaffected even if the service replacement is inadequate. Should such service changes make the overall form of the tour unacceptable to you, O.C. offers you the right to either change the booking or withdraw from the contract free of charge. You also have the right to request an equivalent alternative O.C. tour, provided O.C. is able to offer such a tour without additional expenses. You must assert your rights arising from contract changes or cancellations in writing and immediately following O.C.’s declaration of the changes.5.3 Fare ChangesIn lawful circumstances and within legal scope, O.C. reserves the right to pass on any increases in the costs of transportation, taxes, and ex-change rates, provided the date of travel does not fall within 21 days from departure. This is applicable exclusively for fare changes where cost factors were subject to unforeseeable changes after the conclu-sion of the contract. Significant and unpredictable reasons for a price increase are e.g. the increase in public dues, the increase in value-added tax, changes in the world oil prices, changes in harbour dues, or, in particular cases, a more than 10% increase in the EURO vs. US-Dollar exchange rate. To the same extent an adjustment of the agreed travel fare is permitted should there be a change in the official passenger tariffs. As proof of the legitimacy of a price change, O.C. will provide certification of each cost and rate increase for you to check. In case of alterations of prices or services O.C. will contact you immediately but no later than 21 days prior to the scheduled sailing date. Increases after that date are not allowed. You have to assert your rights against O.C. immediately after O.C. has informed you about alterations of price.

6. CANCELLATION, BOOKING CHANGES, REPLACEMENTS AND NAME CHANGES6.1 Cancellation through the passengerYou can cancel your contract at any time before date of travel. As means of proof, cancellations should be made in writing. Your cancellation no-tice is effective upon receipt by O.C. Should you cancel your booking or not commence the holiday, O.C. reserves the right to levy charges for made travel provisions and expenses incurred. When calculating the charges, O.C. takes into account the services saved and the possible other use of the services. O.C. may claim cancellation fees expressed as a percentage of the travel fare according to the amount of notice given between cancellation date and departure date, as listed below.

Cancellation fees:Up to 340 days before: €100 per cabin339 to 120 days: €700 per cabin119 to 90 days: 25% of the total fare or €700 per cabin (whichever is higher)89 to 60 days: 50% of the total fare or €700 (whichever is higher)59 to 30 days: 75% of the total fare or €700 (whichever is higher)29 days or less: 100% of the total fare or €700 (whichever is higher)6.2 Booking Changes Your booking can be changed upon request and subject to availability (rebooking). This can be done until 60 days before date of travel. O.C. charges the sum of €50 rebooking fee per person. Should you wish to make a rebooking after 60 days before date of travel, then booking changes can only be made, if at all possible, by cancelling the travel contract under the conditions stated in 6.1 and rebooking. Any form of alteration made to the date of travel, destination or place of start, ac-commodation, the cabin or mode of transport is considered as a change. 6.3 ReplacementsUp to the date of travel i.e. taking into consideration a reasonable amount of time for organisational matters, you may demand that a third party takes over all rights and liabilities of your travel contract. O.C. reserves the right to decline the third party should he/she not meet the travel requirements or should there be legal restrictions or an official directive against his/her participation. Should a third party enter the contract then he/she and you are liable as co-debtors for the travel fare and the additional costs caused by the third party entering.6.4 Name ChangesAt time of booking all passengers names need to be submitted to O.C. Names need to be congruent with the valid passenger passports. O.C. reserves the right to pass on the service charges of €50 per person for name changes after the option is confirmed. 6.5 Cancellation and rebooking fees are due immediately.

7. CANCELLATION IN EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES7.1 Cancellation prior to the date of travelShould travel be largely hindered, endangered or affected due to a force majeure (e.g. through war, natural disasters, government author-ity measures, transport embargos, ship loss or other similar incidents) which were not predictable at the time of conclusion of the contract, then both the passenger and O.C. may cancel the contract. In the event of O.C. cancelling the holiday prior to departure the passengers receive a refund of all sums paid to O.C. Otherwise no compensation shall be payable.7.2 Cancellation after date of travelShould cancellation be made after the date of travel then O.C. is obliged to take necessary action, if possible, for return transportation. The charges for return transport and other ad-ditional costs will be charged to you as traveller.

8. LIABILITY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY8.1 Costa Cruises’s contractual liability is limited to three times the travel fare for damages which are not personal injuries, as far as the damage was not caused by intention or gross negligence, or as far as O.C. alone is liable for the damage caused by default of a service pro-vider.8.2 O.C. is not liable for changes in political circumstances or entry regulations, making an entry to the country or destination difficult or impossible, provided these occur after the printing date of the bro-chure. In the event that it is necessary to make changes we will always try to advise you in advance, but this cannot be guaranteed.8.3 Loss or damage to baggage: Loss or damage to baggage during em-barkation or debarkation must be reported. You are obliged to notify the relevant authority or an official agent thereof in writing. Should cabin baggage be noticeably damaged externally then you must sub-mit written notice forthwith; at the latest by the time of debarkation. Should other baggage, which has been handled or stored by the crew, be noticeably damaged externally then you must report this upon re-ceipt of your baggage. Should you not fulfil these obligations then you are not entitled to make a claim. Passengers’ own carrying, storing and handling of baggage on board will always be at passengers‘ own risk.

9.WARRANTY 9.1 RemedyShould you, contrary to expectation, have grounds for complaint you can seek remedy. According to the law of warranty and the right of notice, you are obliged to report the deficiency forthwith on-site to the ship’s reception or an international hostess and then present O.C. with a time limit to provide a remedy, unless remedy is impossible or is refused by O.C., O.C. can offer remedy by providing an equivalent replacement service as long as this is reasonable. Should O.C. offer you a reasonable remedy then you are obliged to accept it. Should you refuse a reasonable offer you are no longer entitled to make warranty claims for inconveniences. If O.C., contrary to obligation, does not succeed in providing a remedy within a given fair time limit then you may seek your own remedy. Hostesses or responsible travel staff are not authorised to recognise any claims, they may only confirm the registration of your complaints. Should you not fulfil this duty to cooperate by actual fault, then you will not be entitled to make a claim.9.2 Claims & Time LimitsNotice of any claim must be made to O.C. within a month following the travel termination as per contract. 18 Orange Cruises 2012

Full payment for your holiday must reach O.C. at least 75 days prior departure and therefore you are requested to pay your travel agent at least 80 days prior to departure to allow the agent to effect payment in time.

CHANGESCosta Cruises reserve the right to change the itinerary due to bad weather or industrial action, in which case neither the cruise company nor O.C. are liable to pay any form of compensation for the missed ports or the change of programme. If any portion of holiday is lost due to natural disasters, bad weather, industrial action, war, government restrictions or any matter of force majeur, neither Costa Cruises, O.C. nor their subcontractors can be held liable to pay compensation or for damages incurred. In the event that a ship is prevented to enter a port in order to either embark (to start a cruise holiday), or disembark (to finish a cruise holiday) due to bad weather, industrial action, or such unexpected circumstances, O.C shall be responsible to convey the pas-sengers to the next possible port of embarkation or disembarkation.

FURTHER SHIP-RELATED ISSUESCosta Cruises’s cabins have 2 lower berths. In most of the cabins these twin beds can be pushed together to make a double. The 3rd and 4th beds can be either pullman beds (bunk beds) or Sofa beds. Especially the inside cabins are not suitable for 4 adults to share as cabin’s space is very limited. The bunkbeds are not suitable for older passengers or passengers with mobility problems. As a responsible Company we feel it only right to point out these pos-sibilities, however unlikely. If you have a particular problem, please inform the ship’s reception desk) in writing at the time so that, if pos-sible, it can be dealt with there and then. Having said all that, we want to give the following assurance about our liability to you:- We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure. You will appreciate, however, that we have no direct control over the provision of services to you by suppliers, so should you have any com-plaint which has not been successfully addressed during your vacation, kindly send it in writing to your travel agent within two weeks of your arrival back in Malta.
