Travel Insurance 

 Travel insurance is always recommended; in fact, travel agents in Ontario are required to offer you the option of purchasing cancellation insurance and health insurance. While you never expect to cancel your vacation plans, unexpected situations can occur, and cancellation charges levied by airlines, liveaboards, hotels and tour companies can amount to as much as 100% of the purchase price.

In order to protect your trip and provide you with peace of mind, we strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance.
