My group is scheduled to travel. Are we still going?

Given the evolving nature of the situation, our operations and safety teams around the world continue to assess matters on a daily basis. In the event that the international and domestic travel bans and restrictions, governmental orders, and public health advisories will not be sufficiently lifted in time for your tour to depart as scheduled or that these or other external events make it impracticable for suppliers to provide their services at all or in a manner that does not meet our safety and quality standards we will notify your group no later than 45 days prior to departure. If this happens, your Group Leader will work with you to re-evaluate your plans and options for travel. You may also contact us to proactively reschedule your tour to a later date so that you and your group can get the full and powerful experience of exploring the world together. As a reminder, your group also has all our Peace of Mind options available to them if you would like to proactively reschedule your tour and/or elect to receive Future Travel Vouchers. We recommend that you stay in contact with your Group Leader for the most up-to-date information regarding your tour.
