Passports and visas All travelers are responsible for securing necessary documentation Valid passports are required for all travelers Passports may take up to 14 weeks to process Some destinations may require travel visas Non-U.S. citizens may require special visas or other travel documents Important note: Passports must be valid for at least six months after our scheduled return date
Rooming on Tour • Student Rooming • Students are roomed 3 or 4 to a room all of the same gender. • Rooming assignments are done on tour. • If a student would like to upgrade to a twin room (with a parent for example) they can for an upgrade cost of $30/night. • Adult Rooming • Adults are roomed two to a room in either a twin room (2 beds) or a double room (1 double bed). • Adults can upgrade to a single room for an upgrade cost of $40/night. • Family Rooms • We can accommodate family rooms of 3 (two adults and 1 student or 2 students and 1 adult) for no upgrade cost. • You can request a rooming upgrade by calling customer service, 800-665-5364.
My approach to safety… If a traveler (student or adult) violates my rules, I have the right to send them home from tour at the parents’ expense.
