Cost: $109

Why Purchase Travel Protection?

The CIE Tours Plan:

  • Permits you to cancel your trip at any time prior to departure for a covered reason.
  • Covers direct air flights to and from your scheduled land tour departure and return cities even if the flights are not booked by CIE Tours, provided the flights are within 7 total days of the land tour dates and you cancel or interrupt your trip for a covered reason listed in Parts A or B below.
  • Protects you and your belongings while on your trip.

The Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion is waived if you purchase the plan within 7 days of your initial deposit/payment for your trip and you are not disabled from travel at the time you pay for the plan.
