‣ A Note About Cruises:
Because we charter small ships exclusively for our group, our ship-based tours have specific booking, transfer, and cancellation conditions. These are outlined on the Detailed Itinerary for each tour.

‣ A Note About Private Journeys:
As Private Journey arrangements are made especially for you, all payments for Private Journeys are non-refundable. Credits for postponed trips to the same destination may be issued in special circumstances.

We are ‘Tour-Ready’

Our focus remains on the well-being of our travellers, staff, and the communities we visit. We are committed to continuing to provide travel experiences that enrich and delight you as we have for over 50 years. Our tours will only proceed when all the following Tour-Ready criteria are met: 

1. The Canadian government does not have an ‘Avoid All Travel’ advisory to the country or region within a country for any part of the tour*.
2. No region of the tour has any significant COVID-19 related restrictions.
3. There is reliable airline access for arrival and departure.
4. Worldwide Quest and our in-country partners are confident that your trip can operate safely and enjoyably.
 
 
You may transfer without any fee or penalty from any of our land tours at any time if your tour is not ‘Tour-Ready’.
 
*A refund for amounts paid is only available through your travel insurance company. Please ensure that your insurance company provides coverage for travel advisories.
