Journey Cost: $5,595.00 per traveler, which includes round-trip flights (not included on land-only package for those arranging their own airfare), comfortable accommodations, ground transportation, all scheduled activities, daily meals except lunch on the arrival and departure days, post-departure trip insurance for travelers under age 70 with optional upgrade coverage, and a full-time tour director.

Pricing is based on a minimum of 16 paying travelers, with rooms arranged for 2–4 travelers per room; single or double occupancy supplements can be arranged for an additional cost once final traveler numbers are confirmed. Optional trip insurance upgrades, including Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage, are available for an additional cost, and travelers who select an upgrade during the application process will receive instructions by email to complete payment (CFAR must be purchased at least 60 days before departure). Travelers who choose to book their own flights will receive a flight credit once group tickets are purchased and are responsible for meeting the group at the designated start point. If a self-booked flight is delayed or arrives at a different time than the group, the traveler must arrange their own transportation to meet the group, as well as to reach the airport independently on the final day if their departure schedule differs from the group’s.
