Itinerary Variations and London Olympics 2012: Trafalgar constantly strives to improve vacation itineraries and features.

At certain peak periods duplicate departures may operate, and sometimes in reverse order; hotels may also vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. During local or national vacations, London Olympics 2012, Religious Festivals, Vacations, Trade fairs (e.g. Amsterdam IBC Congress) or other events (e.g. Venice Film Festival on Lido) certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing tours, shopping and some hotels may be limited. Similarly, vacations, closing days and other circumstances may necessitate a change of the day of the week for scheduled highlight dinners, sightseeing or other activities. Departures in early and late season are potentially operated in cool weather conditions. As a result, slight itinerary variations may occur, and certain activities may not be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. Availability of certain activities may also be limited due to itinerary variations. In such instances, and wherever possible, slight itinerary changes are made by Trafalgar to minimize inconvenience to our guests; and in these and other cases, substitute hotels may be used and will be of a similar standard and location wherever possible. If, however, you feel your enjoyment might be diminished by such limitations, please check with your Travel Agent before selecting a specific departure. On tours that include cruises, the ship may be changed due to operational reasons. On locally hosted itineraries, sightseeing and other services may occasionally be provided by third parties in which case transportation and itineraries may vary. Trafalgar's ‘Be My Guest’ experiences are unique and take place in singular exclusive locations. In the unlikely event that our local hosts are unable to welcome Trafalgar guests, Trafalgar will attempt to find an alternate experience or a highlight meal will be provided in place of the ‘Be My Guest’ experience.
