There is a $250 service charge for cancellations after the end of early registration.
Reservations are transferrable provided the new traveller has the required travel documents.
TRAVEL RULES
International travel rules are still very fluid but are expected to stabilize and become less budensome to the traveller over the rest of the year, 2021. Nevertheless, for the safety of all of our pilgrims, we expect everyone to have been vaccinated at least two weeks prior to leaving the United States. We will follow whatever rules are in place either nationally or locally and pass along costs to our pilgrims. We will do our best to give as much as advance notice as possible of new requirements.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
PilgrimQuests requires that travelers purchase travel insurance that includes medical evacuation coverage. Most travel insurance packages do include this feature, though the amount of coverage will vary. Check with your medical insurance provider to see if you already have this coverage.
Regarding cancellation coverage, most insurance policies include cancellation for unpredictable events such as a death in your immediate family or civil unrest in the destination country. The Covid 19 pandemic is now a predictable event. Keep in mind that if you do wish to purchase cancellation insurance, you usually must do so soon (21 days +/-) after you make your first deposit. Here is an excellent website for travel insurance that can help you find the right policy.
PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Both of the currently schedule pilgrimages and the extension require significant walking most days. Some paths will be rocky, so good hiking shoes or boots will be necessary. Walking sticks are often helpful. If you can only walk with crutches or a walker, your participation will be limited, but the Iona pilgrimage might be possible. We regret that people needing a wheelchair cannot be accommodated on these pilgrimages.
