Travel Russia Today

You never know what the future holds. We all believe that "it will never happen to me" but guess what, it does! Through the years, I have seen cancellations due to health complications, divorce, loss of job, natural disaster and worst of all death. Chances are you will probably be fine and the trip will go off without a hitch but what if it doesn't?

As a tour operator, we follow a strict cancellation policy for we have to protect the hotels, guides, car services, and most of all the time the staff has taken to put together this fabulous trip. Even though you did not take the trip, the guides that we booked still have to paid!

Typically, travel insurance equates to about 10% of your total trip costs. For those of you that have not purchased travel insurance, this probably looks like a ton of money (I know you are computing the numbers and yes it is about $1,000 for a $10,000 trip). However, lets look at it a different way- what it you do have to cancel that trip? Our cancellation policy states ZERO refunds on any trip canceled less than 14 days out. This means you have lost $10,000 and you were not even at a table in Vegas having a great time.

In the end, BUY THE INSURANCE. It is the safest and smartest purchase and much more important than that upgrade to a 2-bedroom suite.
