WELCOME FROM GULLIVERS
Each of the Caribbean islands has its own special character, but the one thing they all have in
common is a passion for cricket. This passion is what creates the unique and lively Caribbean
culture found in a Test match involving the West Indies.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC cricket
correspondent and
former England
cricketer
It’s not difficult to understand why a Test cricket tour to the West Indies is right at the top of
most England cricket supporters’ wish list. The tropical climate, white sandy beaches, azure
waters, coral reefs and lush landscapes combined with the thrilling cricket, make this an
unforgettable cricket holiday experience.
With England’s tours to the West Indies consistently providing record breaking performances,
such as Brian Lara’s unbeaten 400, you are guaranteed to see spectacular cricket in an
extraordinary part of the globe. Whatever the 2015 Series has in store, the sun, sand, sea and
cricket all combine to make this unforgettable experience high on any cricket supporters’
bucket list. I look forward to hosting Gullivers Cricket Forums and seeing you all in the
Caribbean.

DISCOVER ANTIGUA
Antigua is one of the Caribbean’s most prosperous nations, thanks largely to its tourism
industry. Its attraction lies in its tropical climate and stunning beaches, which have made it a
haven for all tourists including cruise liners.
It is said that Antigua has a different beach for each day of the year but the island
is also blessed with some of the finest coral reefs in the Caribbean. With its crystal
clear turquoise water and coral clusters the size of small villages, snorkelling and
diving these reefs are a ‘must do’. To ignore the interior rainforest would be to do this
beautiful island a disservice and to see it at its best, take a trip in a specially converted
open top Land Rover to see the spots that a hire car cannot reach.
There is so much to see and do in Antigua. Spend time in Heritage Key and Redcliffe
Quay in the capital of St John’s, admire the yachts at Nelson’s Dockyard in English
Harbour, party the evening away at Shirley Heights or take a day cruise around the
island.

Book now at gulliverstravel.co.uk
DISCOVER GRENADA
The Island of Grenada is the largest in the Grenadines, but one of the smallest independent
nations in the Western Hemisphere, with a population of approximately 110,000 inhabitants.
A major export is its locally grown spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, mace and
ginger – hence the reason it is often known as the “Spice Isle”. Its tropical climate,
stunning beaches and lush rainforests combined with its culture of music, dance and
food make for an ideal tourist destination.
Local festivals, fairs, and markets remain an integral part of life on Grenada, many of
which can be seen in the capital, St George’s, which is widely held to be the loveliest
city in the Caribbean. Grand Anse Beach, a smooth expanse stretching for two
miles, is world famous and often considered one of the finest beaches in the world.
Grenada’s interior is very mountainous with Mount St Catherine being the highest at
2,756 feet. Eco-enthusiasts will enjoy the small rivers with beautiful waterfalls that flow
into the sea from these mountains but, if it is off-shore adventure you are looking for,
then the pristine, easily accessible reefs off the coast are certain to impress.

DISCOVER BARBADOS
Barbados is one of the more populous and prosperous Caribbean islands. The island offers
a perfect holiday destination with sandy beaches, clear waters and plenty of interesting and
vibrant places to visit.
Well known for its beaches and cricket, the former British colony has a dual heritage;
English – evident in its stone-built Anglican churches and Saturday race meetings and
African – reflected in its music and dance.
With its natural assets of limestone caverns, coral reefs, beautiful beaches and warm
climate comfortably mixing with the abundance of amenities, water sports and night
life, it is no wonder the locals are fiercely proud of their island. Though its prettiest
beaches are along the west coast, it is well worth a trip around the whole island
stopping off at Bridgetown, Holetown, St Lawrence and Sam Lord’s Castle. A tour of
one of the many local distilleries of an island which has been producing rum for over
350 years also makes an interesting day trip.

Health and Travel Advice
It is your responsibility to check with your doctor at least two months prior to departure for the latest requirements, recommendations and any associated costs. A copy of the ‘Health Advice for
Travellers’ issued by the Department of Health can be provided upon request. It is your responsibility to check any country related travel advice before embarking on your trip. Specifically any
advice issued by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office: www.fco.gov.uk.
Passports and Visas
It is your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport and any necessary visas, or health documents, as required, for the entire duration of your holiday, and to ensure that you meet
the entry requirements of the countries that you are travelling to. Requirements may change and you must check the up-to-date position in good time prior to departure. The name in the
passport must match the name on your ticket where provided. We cannot accept liability, or consider refunds if you cannot travel, because of incomplete, or incorrect documentation. Passenger
information is required in advance by a number of countries and airlines. It is your responsibility to provide this information to us or the airline as instructed. Failure to do so may result in you
being denied boarding or refused entry to your destination. Emergency Contact Details may also be required. It is your responsibility to provide this information and you will be liable for any costs
incurred.
Behaviour
Gullivers Sports Travel has a responsibility to look after the health and safety of its staff and clients. We will endeavour to promote equal treatment in the provision of our services and ensure
that staff and clients are treated with respect at all times. Any behaviour that may cause offence or create an uncomfortable or intimidating environment for our staff or other clients will not be
tolerated. If, in the opinion of the Gullivers Sports Travel representative/escort, your behaviour, or the behaviour of anyone in your touring party, is such that it disrupts the tour party or upsets our
staff or other clients and impairs their enjoyment of the tour, you will be given a warning that such behaviour must cease immediately. We reserve the right to terminate all holiday arrangements
immediately without refund to you where unacceptable behaviour persists or, at any time, if the circumstances justify it.
Flight Timings
The flight timings, although correct at the time, can be subject to alteration by the various foreign and UK Airport Scheduling Committees or for operational reasons. Clients are advised that they
must adhere to the timings as set down in the final documentation.
If you have a problem or complaint
In the unlikely event of a complaint whilst on holiday, you must tell our local representative or agent who will try and solve the problem on the spot. If the complaint cannot be resolved there
and then, you must send a written complaint to reach us within 35 days of the end of your holiday in order that we may investigate fully. Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this
contract which cannot be amicably settled, may if you do so wish be referred to arbitration under a special scheme administered by IDRS part of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Details
and application forms are available from ABTA Limited, 30 Park Road, London, SE1 9EQ, www.abta.com. The scheme (details of which will be supplied on request) provides for a simple and
inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the client in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person.
There is also a limit of £25,000 per Booking Request Form. Where a claim includes, in part, a claim for personal injury or illness, a limit of £1,000 per person applies to that part of the claim. The
rules of the scheme provide that the application for the arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return from the holiday but, in special circumstances, it may be still offered
outside this period. Information regarding complaints may be shared with other tour operators.
Changes By You
If you wish to transfer the booking in any way or make any changes to your holiday booking, you must make your request in writing as soon as possible. If the amendment is possible, there will be
a minimum charge of £90 per person plus any additional costs incurred. Changing dates or numbers travelling are major changes which may have to be treated as cancellations and subsequent
rebookings. For flight inclusive bookings, any changes may be treated as cancellation and cancellation charges will apply in accordance with individual airline policy. A change of holiday made
within 8 weeks of departure may be treated as a cancellation and charges may be levied as below.
Cancellation By You
Cancellations must be made in writing by the person who completed/signed the Booking Request Form and sent by recorded delivery post. A cancellation is not effective until the Company
receives the letter. You will receive a cancellation invoice from us within two weeks of receipt of your cancellation.
PLEASE NOTE: for England Cricket Tours to the West Indies 2015, deposits are non-refundable.

Whilst any cancellation within 12 weeks of departure renders the client liable for cancellation in excess of deposit payment, the Company will make efforts to resell the seat(s) to help clients. This,
however, is a service and not an undertaking and in any event the deposit will be forfeited. Clients are urged to insure against cancellation.
Changes By Us
It is unlikely that we will have to make changes to your holiday, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance and sometimes we may need to make changes which we reserve the
right to do at any time. Most are very minor but where they are major (eg change of airport (but not change of London airport), resort area, or time of departure or return by more than 12 hours, or
offering accommodation of a lower rating) we will inform you or your travel agent when you book or as soon as possible if you have already booked. If a MAJOR change becomes necessary you
have the following options:
Accept the alternative offered, together with compensation which may apply (on the scale shown below) if full payment has been received by us. Choose another of our tours at brochure price,
together with compensation which may apply (on the scale shown below) if full payment has been received by us. Cancel your holiday in which case a full refund of all monies paid to us will be
made and and compensation where appropriate.

Advance payments: If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person
entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16000 SDRs (approximately £13,000).

liability for passenger delay is limited to 4150 SDRs (approximately £3,300).

a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.

Our tour manager showed care and attention to detail from the start to the finish of the trip. Our tour was well
organised throughout, which ensured that we were free to enjoy our time in New Zealand.
