Our 2020 Group Schedule
updated 8/5/2020
TOURS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19
UPDATED AUGUST 5, 2020 - All upcoming 2020 tours scheduled through August have been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. All international tours and the domestic tours traveling by air scheduled through the end of 2020 have been cancelled or postponed. We have also cancelled 8 of our motor coach tours this fall that were to run in September, October and November. Please review our list below for updates and to see if your trip has been affected.
TOUR PAYMENTS, INSURANCE & CANCELLATIONS
FINAL PAYMENTS & CANCELLATIONS: If you do not wish to travel this year due to the pandemic, you must cancel before the final payment deadline in order to receive a refund. If you cancel after the final payment deadline, you must have travel insurance to receive a refund - and the cancellation reason must be a covered reason by the insurance company.
If you are planning to travel with us for one of our remaining tours this year (in 2020), please go ahead and send in your final payment by the final payment deadline.
INSURANCE & CANCELLATIONS: Should we as an agency decide to cancel the trip and you have not already cancelled with us, you will receive a full refund and we will request that the insurance company return your insurance premium.
PLEASE NOTE: if you cancel your reservation after the final payment deadline but before our agency cancels a tour, you will have to file an insurance claim in order to receive a refund, and you will not be eligible to get your insurance premium back.
If you do not purchase insurance and cancel after the final payment deadline, you will not receive a refund. In the past, we have made many exceptions for clients who have found themselves in this situation, but we are unable to do this going forward. You are strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance.
Please note that due to the current pandemic and COVID-19 situation, the policy for purchasing Cancel-Anytime insurance has changed and you must purchase at time of deposit. Other policies can still be purchased any time after deposit, however, if you have pre-existing conditions you are concerned about, insurance must be purchased within 14 days of deposit in order to be covered.
