Questions we’re frequently asked. . .



WWII Remembrance Tour

  •  How many people are on the tour?

Due to the places we visit and the comfort of our clients we limit the number of participants to 25-30 people.

  • What will the weather be like? 

Historically, the weather in Europe, when we operate our WWII Remembrance Tours, is ideal, with temperatures averaging between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • What should I wear on the tour?

Dress on the tour is very casual; there are just two exceptions: 1) Lunch in the Warrant Officer’s Mess at the Knightsbridge Barracks 2) For the military ceremony at the Arc d’ Triumphe. -- For these occasions, a sports jacket and tie are requested.

  • How much money will I need?

This is difficult to answer because everyone’s spending habits are different.  However, one thing to consider is that all breakfasts and most all dinners are included. This means that the only meals to purchase are lunches and two dinners. The only other expenses to consider might be souvenirs, drinks, laundry, tips where appropriate and miscellaneous expenses.  Usually, a few hundred dollars is sufficient.

  • Should I bring cash?

Only a small amount of cash is required for such items as taxis, snacks, newspapers, etc. Most purchases can be paid by credit card; ATM machines are readily available throughout the tour.

  • How much luggage should I bring?

We suggest one large checked suitcase and one carry-on or back-pack. Cameras and women’s handbags are in addition to this.

  • Will I need vaccinations?

No “shots” or special medical concerns are required for travel anywhere in Europe.

  • Will I have to get my own airfare?

Because we have people coming from cities throughout the United States and overseas, it is impractical for us to include the airfare in the tour price.  Also, some people utilize “Frequent Flier” mileage opportunities.  However, if you would like our assistance, we  will be very pleased to help you find the most convenient and best priced airfare available.

  • Is travel cancellation insurance available?

While not included, travel cancellation and medical insurance is readily available.

 

Queen Mary 2

  • Will I have to wear a tuxedo?

This is probably the most frequently asked question and the  response is...No!  Formal attire applies only to dinner in the dining room.  And, out of consideration for all passengers, Cunard asks that you compare this to going to a fine restaurant where a tie and jacket is required, but definitely not a tuxedo.  From general observations, we would estimate that a third of the gentlemen do not wear tuxedos.

  • What is there to do on the ship; will I be bored?

Absolutely not!  There are so m any activities and things to do aboard this magnificent "floating resort" that you'll only wish you had more time to do and see all that's offered.

 

  • Will I get sea-sick?

While no on  can say for certain that you will never experience sea-sickness, the likelihood is very slight.  Because of the size of the Queen Mary 2 , its built-in stabilizers and the time of the year she crosses the Atlantic, you should have smooth sailing.
