Simplify your travel planning by opting in to our automatic payment system. Once you reserve your spot, we’ll create a customized payment schedule designed to evenly spread your payments over time. You’ll be notified in advance of each scheduled payment date, so there are no surprises. Just make your initial deposit at the time of booking, and the remaining balance will be automatically processed according to the plan outlined on your invoice—all at no extra charge.

Missing a vacation is disappointing—but losing the money you’ve paid makes it even harder. As our tours are non-refundable and non-transferable, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance. It’s an affordable way to protect your trip, with premiums based on your total travel cost—so you won’t be overpaying for coverage. We highly recommend selecting a Travel Protection Plan that offers comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.
