Times are strange these days, aren’t they? People are hunkered down in their homes, worried about their jobs, anxiously watching the news, and even homeschooling their children. The only thing that seems certain in the age of COVID-19 is that right now everything seems so very uncertain.
All this makes it hard to plan for travel. We have many, many clients who want to travel, for whom it is a necessary act, a true pleasure, a way to connect with themselves and the world. And they don’t want to miss out on the chance to travel. But how can one plan a trip when we’re not certain when the current shelter-in-place restrictions and travel advisories will end?
Worry not! Because of the challenging and unprecedented times in which we’re living, we have asked our partners to work with us to offer Worry Free Trips for 2021 travel.
What is a “Worry free trip”? Simply put, it’s a new booking for one of our eligible trips that you may cancel up to 31 days before the trip start date and get 100% of your deposit back. A 30% deposit is required to book, and balance payment is due 31 days prior to the start date. You can book with peace of mind knowing that if world events do not improve you can change your mind.
