Select your itinerary and date and then click “Book Now.” Enter your traveler information and select your optional excursions, rooming options, and whether you want trip protection. After you confirm and book, any entered voucher information will be applied to your order balance within two business days. You can also call us at 1-800-766-2645 and we can book your trip over the phone.

Each traveler needs to book their own trip (see “How do I book a tour?”). In the Rooming Options section of the checkout, each traveler should indicate the other travel companion(s) name(s) in the Roommate field. Please note that Standard Rooming is all same sex. If travelers want to share a room with travelers of another sex they will need to request the Twin or Double Room upgrade. Once each individual has completed their booking, we also recommend you inform your Trip Consultant via phone, email or chat of your travel companions so they can confirm it has been noted in your account for Flight purposes as well.

Your voucher can be applied to the tour cost, optional excursions, rooming upgrades and trip protection. If your voucher amount is more than the full trip cost, the difference will remain on your voucher with the same terms and conditions.

No immediate payment is required to book your spot on a trip. Once you have confirmed your trip, if you have a voucher our team will apply your voucher to your balance within two business days and then reach out to discuss payment options for any remaining balance. If you do not have a voucher, our team will contact you for your payment information.

If your trip departs in more than 60 days, we highly recommend you sign up for our interest-free automatic payment plans. If your trip is within 60 days, you will need to pay the remaining difference in full. Once we have applied your voucher our team will reach out to you for payment or to enroll you on the payment plan.
