Travel Insurance
Why purchase travel protection? The CIE Tours Plan… • Permits you to cancel your trip at any time prior to departure for a covered reason and up to 3 days before your scheduled departure for any reason not otherwise covered. • 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 reason covered by the Travel Protection Plan provisions. • Protects you and your belongings while on your trip.
CIE Tours Trip Cancellation Waiver Benefit* When you purchase the CIE Tours Travel Protection Plan at time of initial Trip deposit, you also qualify for the CIE Tours Trip Cancellation Waiver. This benefit allows you to cancel your CIE Tours travel arrangements up to 3 days before your scheduled departure for any reason not covered by the Travel Protection Plan.
