8-Day Program in France: Normandy & Paris

INSURANCE:

We automatically include the standard “On Trip” insurance.  That’s coverage for things that might happen during the trip – once it has already started – such as lost baggage, injury, medical treatment, trip interruption, quarantine.  

During registration you will have the opportunity to choose from two “Optional” insurance upgrades are both for Pre-Trip Cancellation – something that prevents someone from traveling even before the trip starts. 

·        Option 1  ($35) is more for unexpected things that happen before the trip and prevent travel:  getting sick or injured, loss of a family member.  Think of things that are beyond control, and that need to be documented (such as doctors note suggesting not traveling). With document proof of a qualifying situation, reimbursement is up to 100% of the non-refundable trip cost. 

·        Option 2 ($180) includes the same Option 1 benefits, but also has CFAR coverage (Cancel for Any Reason) in events that are NOT covered by Option 1 (such as just deciding not to go.  No reason is needed, and no proof of reason is needed.  Reimbursement is up to 75% of non-refunded payments. Must notify us at least 48 hours prior to departure date. *CFAR is not currently available for residents of New York.

If neither Option 1 or 2 are chosen, then there is no additional reimbursement of payments after Discovery Expeditions has applied our cancellation terms.  Review our Terms & Conditions. Option 1 & 2 are only for cancellation BEFORE the trip starts.
