The solution to avoid google having your page duplicated is to include:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish" />

in the head section of your page. Details about this at google blog

Aside from this, at apache level, the DirectoryIndex directive sets the list of resources to look for (see apache docs )
Ej: this directive sets the resources to look for when a directory is requested

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html  

If you want google to see the same resource you should do a client redir:

RewriteRule ^/itineraries-prices/?$ http://www.annonline.com/itineraries-prices/index.html [R=301,L]
