departure, it is subject to a $50 administration fee (including
H.S.T.). A name correction, change of name or change of departure
date requested within 45 days of departure makes the booking subject

You Cancel Your Booking:
The following cancellation charges apply, as of the date on which we
are informed of your cancellation (date of departure is excluded when
calculating these cancellation charges):
More
than 45 days: deposit of $1500 plus single supplement and upgrades if

0-44
days: 100% of total price

If
Your Booking is Changed by Us: This
tour is prepared months in advance, and occasionally a part of it has
to be modified or is not available. On occasion, even after your
booking is confirmed, we may have to make changes to your requested
arrangements. Most changes will be minor; however, we may need to
make a major change prior to your departure. Major changes include:
change
of departure or return by more than 24 hours;
change
of accommodation and/or accommodation standard;
increase
in your costs in excess of 7% (unless government imposed); and
change
of route requiring additional traveler identification or
documentation without sufficient time to obtain this documentation
before departure

we make a major change, we will advise you as soon as possible, and
you may then:
a.
accept the change as offered; b.
select an alternate tour with Us based on availability and the
applicable price; or c.
cancel your trip completely with a refund of the price paid, minus
the non-refundable deposit.
Sometimes
the hotel reserved is not available due to unexpected maintenance or
overbooking, and a substitute hotel of equal or greater quality will
be provided. If the hotel standard is downgraded and you accept the
change as offered, a refund for any difference in price will be
issued. We reserve the right to change published prices without
notice and/or to pass on government imposed taxes, transportation
related fees or surcharges including those for fuel or currency
fluctuations to you.

weather causing beach erosion, epidemics or health risks, technical
or mechanical problems with transport, flight delays due to weather,
government action, closed or congested airports or seaports, supplier
insolvency and any events beyond our direct control.
Tour
Escort: If
the tour escort is unable to accompany the tour, she will be replaced

It
is Not the Same Away From Home:
As Canadians, we enjoy a very high standard of living. In other parts
of the world, uninterrupted supply of water and electricity, the
local health conditions, levels of security and standards of food and
drink differ from those we enjoy at home.

insurance and trip cancellation insurance be purchased. It is

accompany the deposit and is nonrefundable.
You
have the choice of purchasing Manulife Insurance from CWT Victor
Travel. Alternatively, if you have your own coverage, we require
proof of coverage from you stating the name of the insurer and the
policy number as well as emergency contact number.
Non-medical
Cancellation Insurance is strongly recommended. Information regarding
out-of-province medical & cancellation insurance is available
through CWT Victor Travel.

cost on fully non-refundable land arrangements of CA$1500 based on a
50-year-old traveller:

Eight of the World’s Greatest Ballet Companies Six Distinct Programs An Unprecedented Event In 1948 George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein
founded New York City Ballet at City Center, New York. It was here that
Balanchine continued to develop his definitive style, which remains at
the pinnacle of modern ballet. Many of Balanchine’s iconic ballets from
that time had premieres at this historic theater. The thirteen different
pieces chosen for this unprecedented international tribute will be
performed by eight of the world’s greatest ballet companies, accompanied
by the New York City Ballet Orchestra.
Balanchine: The City Center Years will feature performances by American Ballet Theatre, Joffrey Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet, Miami City Ballet, New York City Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, The Royal Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet.
The six performances are complemented by two special Studio 5
programs on October 25 and 29, and a special archival exhibition at
City Center. Balanchine: The City Center Years is part of New York City Center's 75th Anniversary Season.
