COVID-19 has taught us that "anything can happen".  Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse.  Therefore, we highly recommend Travel Protection that helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Medical Expenses and more.  

You are highly encouraged to select and purchase travel insurance for your domestic and international tours. Protect your investment. Anything can happen: a missed flight, getting ill while on vacation, or a family emergency. Below is a link to several insurance companies.  We highly recommend purchasing a Cancel For Any Reason travel insurance policy.  

If you choose a "cancel for any reason" policy (and you should)  most carriers require that you buy the policy within 7 -14 days of the initial purchase/deposit and some the day of your initial deposit. Read the terms of the policy carefully and if you have any questions, contact the insurance provider at 1-877-906-3950.

You must confirm if you understand the importance of purchasing travel insurance. Select the travel insurance link to view policies. If you have questions while purchasing, contact the Toll-Free number to speak to an insurance agent at 1-877-906-3950.
