Are the tour departures guaranteed? What is a Preferred Departure?
We guarantee that we will not reschedule any European tours within 50 days of departure through peak season (May 1st to October 15th) unless circumstances occur that are beyond our control. (Note: the departure guarantee does not apply to America, Australia or New Zealand tours which are normally guaranteed with minimum of 6 weeks). In Europe, we have designated a large number of trips as Preferred Departures (PD). Because these departures have a reliable booking history, you can rest assured that they will, except under circumstances beyond our control, operate as scheduled. Look for the gold star symbol next to departure dates on the tour itinerary of your choice. All non-PD departures may be subject to rescheduling. If one of our preferred departure dates doesn’t fit with your travel plans, don’t worry, we adjust our capacity each year to ensure that the vast majority of all of our departures operate as scheduled.
