-TRAVEL INSURANCE - It is highly recommended that you purchase Trip Cancellation before you complete the purchase of your Trip. Medical out-of the-country insurance is strongly recommended.

Your travel advisor can offer you a complete travel insurance package including; medical and hospital, trip cancellation and interruption, and lost baggage.  Most insurance companies do have exclusions in their coverage. Pre-existing medical conditions and pregnancy are not insurable. High risk activities such as skydiving, parachuting, and bunji jumping may not be covered by the insurance. If you are currently ill, your doctor should give you the authorization to travel out of the country. Read and understand the eligibility rules, limitations, exclusions and definitions of the insurance you have, before venturing abroad. Extra travel insurance can often be purchased.
