You’re Free to Change or Postpone your Luxury Gold Vacation

It is hard to grasp how much our world has changed over the past year due to COVID-19 and the impact it has had on our everyday lives and our ability to travel. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate through these challenging times together.

For specific questions about COVID-19 travel, read our COVID-19 FAQs.

SUSPENDED TOURS

As the world begins to reopen and in accordance with travel restrictions imposed by government advisories worldwide, we are reviewing departures on a case-by-case basis. Should your trip be impacted and unable to operate, your booking agent will contact you directly approximately 45-60 days prior to your trip’s planned start date.

If your booked trip was suspended, please rest assured that you have a Future Travel Credit (FTC) automatically available to you for the full value of the land portion of your trip.

Your Future Travel Credit (FTC) is available for you to book and travel before 31 December 2024. Discounts of up to 15% from your original reservation will only be carried forward if a new trip is booked before December 31, 2022.

Future Travel Credits can be redeemed with Luxury Gold or any other TTC brand (Insight Vacations, Trafalgar, Brendan Vacations, Costsaver, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, U by Uniworld River Cruises) on any destination or trip for travel before 31 December 2024. To give you maximum flexibility, you can also choose to transfer your Future Travel Credit to a friend or family member. Discounts of up to 15% from your original reservation will only be carried forward if a new trip is booked before December 31, 2022. Learn more about Future Travel Credits.

ALL OTHER BOOKINGS

Have peace of mind knowing you have the flexibility to change the land portion of your journey to a new destination or date, free of charge until 60 days prior to departure. Airlines may have different policies and penalty charges, any and all of which are your responsibility*.

Please also rest assured that our distancing and hygiene protocols on all of our journeys meet requirements put forth by world health and local authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO). Our new well-being approach adheres to the global safety protocols from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and is recognized by the WTTC Safe Travels stamp, which outlines global safety and hygiene for Travel & Tourism, designed specifically to address COVID-19. See all the details here.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the World Health Organization and government health bodies, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.

We ask that you please take personal responsibility for your wellbeing. This begins with packing any personal protective equipment and sanitizers you require. Please adopt physical distancing and hygiene practices throughout your pre-journey travel arrangements and follow all health instruction whether physical signage, or requests from our professional staff, once you are vacationing with us.

In choosing to travel with Luxury Gold, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.

Let’s help keep each other safe and healthy.

CAN I USE MY FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT ON A VACATION WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY?

Your Future Travel Credit is valid on any brand within The Travel Corporation (TTC) which includes Insight Vacations, Trafalgar, Costsaver, Contiki, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, U by Uniworld River Cruises, African Travel and Red Carnation Hotels. Whatever your taste, whatever your pace, we have a travel style that will suit your needs and desires.

DO I NEED TO USE THE FULL VALUE OF MY FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT ALL AT ONCE? WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS MONEY LEFT OVER AFTER I APPLY MY FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT? CAN I ONLY USE MY FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT ON A TOUR? CAN I USE MY FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT TO BRING OTHER PEOPLE WITH ME ON MY NEXT VACATION?

Your Future Travel Credit can be used on any priced journey. If your new journey is less than your future travel credit amount, you can keep the remainder as an Future Travel Credit for another journey in the future. Or, you may add on airfare, pre or post night hotels or prepaid gratuities. Credits can also be used across multiple guests or bookings, so you can bring family or friends with you on your next journey.

CAN I GIVE/TRANSFER MY FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT TO SOMEONE ELSE?

Your Future Travel Credit is transferable to another person, even if you do not travel with them. If you would like to gift your Future Travel Credit to another individual, please just send an email with your booking number, the amount of your Future Travel Credit you would like to transfer (if not all) and the name of the individual you would like to be the beneficiary of the funds. If they do not have a booking yet, please just let us know and we will create one which will be their reference for their Future Travel Credit.

^{*The temporary change fee waiver only applies to the land portion of all journeys and does not apply to group bookings. If you choose a journey or departure that is more expensive than the original, you are responsible for the difference in price; if the journey or departure is less expensive than the original, a Future Travel Credit will be issued for the difference. Please note however, you are responsible for any airline penalties imposed due to journey changes and/or cancellations.}

These transferred discounts are not combinable with any land promotions available at time of booking the new journey. If discounts of more than 15% are available at time of booking, then the transferred discounts can be removed.
