We strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance to provide you with peace of mind due to, in particular, limited provincial health care coverage afforded to Canadians while traveling overseas and the cancellation provisions inherent in your booking. Through Manulife Insurance, we offer two insurance coverage options:
Non-Medical Inclusive
There are significant inherent cancellation penalties associated with your booking as detailed in our booking terms and conditions and this insurance package provides coverage for all monies paid for your trip if you should have to cancel due to medical, or other listed, reasons either relating to yourself or a member of your immediate family. It also covers you for trip interruption costs short notice return flight home etc) for medical reasons again, either relating to yourself or an immediate family member as well as flight and travel accident and baggage insurance.
All-Inclusive Plan
Provides coverage for all the components in the non-medical package, plus unlimited health coverage while in the destination.
"Cancel for any reason (CFAR)" coverage - NEW and at no additional cost !!
So long as you purchase either of the two insurance policies above at the same time as your tour booking, you are automatically entitled to this added benefit of CFAR coverage whereby, if you need to cancel your tour booking up to 14 days or more before departure for any reason, your policy will refund you up to a maximum of 50% of the cancellation penalties incurred. This is excellent peace of mind coverage to protect you against (50% of the) cancellation penalties incurred in a situation where the reason for cancellation is not one of the regular covered risks in your policy (ie it is essentially "change of mind" insurance).
A detailed overview of coverage benefits and limitations of each insurance policy that we offer through Manulife may be found at the link below. Please ensure that you review this document, including the specific non-eligibility provisions at the top of page 2:
