Status of 2024 Trips
& Temporary Risk-Free Booking Policy
CURRENT AS OF JANUARY 12, 2024
We are presently accepting reservations for 2024 trips.
A) The following trips are scheduled and we are planning to operate them. We are accepting deposits and payments for these trips. As of this date, there are no vaccination, testing, or quarantine requirements for entering Italy, Austria, Japan, Argentina, Chile, and Spain. Virtually all Covid-related restrictions for travel to and within these countries have also been removed. Effective May 8, 2023, Japan officially reclassified Covid-19 as a Level 5 disease putting it in the same classification as the seasonal flu. This means that Covid-19 is now managed in the same manner as the seasonal flu and requirements for testing and quarantine no longer apply.
