The comprehensive insurance coverage includes the CIE Tours cancellation waiver which allows you to cancel for any reason up to 8 days prior to departure, in addition to insurance coverage during your trip. We recommend insurance coverage so strongly that we automatically include the cost on your invoice and send the certificate of insurance with your final documents. The premium must be paid at time of deposit for coverage to apply. If you decide not to purchase coverage, deduct premium from your payment.

• You or a travelling companion get sick before your trip
• You lose your baggage or your passports or documents are stolen
• You are in a foreign country and you need medical or emergency assistance
• Your flight is delayed due to inclement weather
