Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend you review your health insurance coverage before
traveling overseas. Many policies, including Medicare, will not pay for
services or hospitalization outside of the country or for emergency
evacuation.
Because the unexpected does sometimes happen, we include travel insurance at no
added cost on new bookings (some exceptions apply). After all, a vacation can
be a big investment. Now you can travel worry-free.
