TOUR PRICES

Tour prices are based on costs, charges, taxes, and US dollar exchange rates known at time of booking. We regret should any of these costs change, a surcharge may be added to the cost of your tour. You would be notified prior to travel.

INSURANCE

Even those who play it safe can face medical emergencies, political unrest or worse. When the unforeseeable becomes reality, you want the coverage that travel insurance can provide. Much more than trip cancellation, travel insurance is financial protection with emergency assistance to keep you safe as you travel the world. With recent global events involving Covid-19 (both from a medical perspective, as well as trip interruption/cancellation perspective), having the security of travel insurance is critical. Travel insurance can help you avoid penalties and protect your investment.

Companies vary regarding the length of time to purchase trip insurance to cover pre-existing conditions and/or the “cancel for any reason” feature (example: TravelSafe requires purchasing insurance with 21-days of your deposit date). You are welcome to use any company for trip insurance. The company we have worked most closely with is TravelSafe Insurance, and their plans with pricing can be reviewed at their website. Using this link provided will link your policy to Morning Star (which makes it much easier for us to assist you should a claim be necessary).
