Coronavirus – Information and Updates

Given the disruption that Coronavirus (Covid-19) is currently causing worldwide, many of you will be concerned regarding your existing holiday, cruise and travel plans. Please find below a selection of links to help navigate the current situation.

We and our travel partners are monitoring the situation carefully, and we recommend you check the official UK Government website Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

There continue to be changes to planned travel schedules and cruises. If you are travelling independently we strongly recommend you check the advice issued by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCDO).

Any decision whether to operate a trip, cancel or make any changes will always be made in the interest of customers’ safety and security.

As always, make sure you have appropriate travel insurance in place from the time of booking and check the scope of your cover.
