Trip Delays vs. Trip Interruption Do you know the difference between the two? Your insurance provider definitely does, and it’s important information that can make the difference in whether or not your claim is covered by your policy. Trip delay coverage is for unexpected pauses before your trip even begins. That might mean weather issues, missed connections or mechanical issues. Typical coverage in these cases is for meals, hotel stays and rebooking fees. Trip interruption refers to when you have to cut your trip short for something like an illness in the family or an emergency back home. Good coverage affects costs like unused nonrefundable portions of your trip and additional costs to get you back early. Both are valuable, and both need to be clearly spelled out in your comprehensive travel insurance plan. We’re here to help you sort through the details!

What should I know before choosing a self-drive vacation?
Driving in the Scottish Highlands
Organizing self-drive vacations is one of our specialties. A self-drive vacation allows you the flexibility to linger a little longer or to listen when your gut tells you that a fun-looking pub or scenic overlook is worth the stop. Having us on your side allows you to be in the moment instead of being distracted by logistics like booking your next hotel or planning an activity. Take Ireland, for example. Quiet country lanes and winding coastal routes were made to be explored on four wheels, and with CIE Tours, we can easily transform a classic tour into a self-drive adventure. Follow scenic roads from Dublin on a

fully mapped-out route; we’re here to arrange your hotel stays, hop-on bus passes and tickets to attractions. The road from Reykjavík is full of enchantment as you gaze at glaciers, geysers and waterfalls on your way to Vik — where a thrilling excursion of snowmobiling over a glacier is on your itinerary. With Avanti Destinations, we can craft a whole vacation of amazing moments like these, whether you’re keen on exploring Iceland’s natural treasures, the peat-covered Scottish Highlands or the vineyard-lined roads of Portugal’s Douro Valley.
Elevated exploration is at the heart of Brendan Vacations’ luxury self-drive journeys. Get behind the wheel of a premium vehicle and reach your desired destinations, where we’ll have already arranged your day’s discoveries. From breadmaking in a traditional farmhouse to a cycling excursion along a coastline, each outing is tailor-made for you — and a grand castle or five‑star estate becomes your sanctuary to rest up for the next set of adventures. Go out and explore the world on your terms. We’ll handle the details so that you can focus on the road ahead.

Trepidation quickly transforms into shouts of joy as you soar through the canopy on a zip line. On thrill-seeking excursions around the globe, let us introduce you to an entirely different point of view. Don’t worry, we have more relaxed options for those who prefer a little less adrenaline! CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS From water-spanning zip lines to treetop suspension bridges, high-flying thrills await in British Columbia. Go big between Blackcomb and Whistler mountains on the 1.2-mile Sasquatch® Tour or ease your way in on a network of shorter zip lines. To go at a slower pace, walk a swaying suspension bridge as you learn facts about the area’s history from your knowledgeable guide. DISCOVER ANCIENT SECRETS Deep in a secluded rainforest in Rotorua, New Zealand, the air is alive with birdsong. A group of passionate guides is ready to take you on zooming zip lines (reaching up to 50 miles per hour), up hidden stairways and across hanging walkways. Beginning with a launch from a 1000-year-old tree, your journey is purposefully woven through this wild and wonderful land. SEEK MORE THRILLS There’s plenty to discover near Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano, and a half- or whole-day tour will provide close-up (and up-high) views of the picturesque forest canopy and Lake Arenal. Or take a more laid-back approach as you soar smoothly through the rainforest on an aerial tram with your camera in hand. RAINFOREST RUSH The Caribbean island of St. Lucia is home to a dense rainforest, rich in plant and animal biodiversity and studded with misty mountains and secret waterfalls.

If you’d prefer to relax, meet Maria on the island of Syros, where you will cook a Greek meal together featuring foraged herbs and greens. Or take a boat tour in the Bahamas to watch free divers in action as they collect conchs from the sea.
How do hosts ensure guests are safe and comfortable during these outings? Hosts provide clear guidance on what to wear and bring, ensuring that guests are dressed appropriately with comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. They also take care to choose foraging locations and ingredients that they know well to create an experience that is safe and culturally meaningful.

Aashi Vel, co-founder of Traveling Spoon, believes that foraging for ingredients connects us to nature, culture and tradition all at once.
How did the concept of foraging arrive on your radar? I remember my mother running out to the neighborhood to pick a purple‑hued leaf to soothe our cuts! Later, in my 30s, in San Francisco’s Mission District, I’d find almonds dropping from a tree by the sidewalk or citrus fruit hanging over
neighborhood fences. Those small discoveries made me realize how much natural abundance surrounds us.

Whether it’s a rum mixology class in Nassau, an olive harvest or olive oil tasting workshop in the south of France, or an artisanal ice cream tour in Buenos Aires, each experience is designed to highlight the passion and expertise of our hosts.

Shore excursions take on a whole different air when you’re ushered into a museum before opening hours or a private art exhibition illuminated by candlelight. When we arrange your Viking voyage, Privileged Access experiences in hidden archives and grand estates are the stepping stones to your river or ocean cruise filled with wonder. Sailing aboard a Viking ship immediately grants you access to the world’s most impressive sights and enriching education, earning it a reputation as “for the Thinking Person.” Viking Inclusive Value provides pricing that covers everything you need — and nothing you do not — including a complimentary shore excursion in every port of call, with visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites as well as expert lectures and destination performances that align with your upcoming ports of call. Even the cuisine prepared on board is influenced by local flavor, served alongside globally inspired dishes as you sail into the heart of every destination.
Now imagine if you could extend moments like those to your time before or after your voyage and come away feeling as if you’ve taken a master class in global culture. In advance of a voyage along the river Nile, you can extend your stay in London to thoroughly enhance your knowledge of ancient Egypt. You’ll be granted early access inside the British Museum to stand in awe before the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of Egypt itself. Here you’ll have the opportunity to investigate the work of Egyptologist Howard Carter, who discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922. Then step into a private opening of the Petrie Museum, where 80,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt and Sudan are revealed during an expert lecture. The learning continues even after dark as you enter Sir John Soane’s Museum for a candlelit viewing of Egyptian antiquities. 27
Keep the exploration going in Oxford as you visit its world-renowned university where the Ashmolean Museum — one of the world’s oldest — contains an exquisite collection of Egyptian artifacts; and next door, the Griffith Institute’s extraordinary Egyptology collection is home to the archives of Howard Carter himself.
Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt
On your extended stay in England, also available on voyages to Normandy and to the British Isles, a most noble adventure awaits: a visit to Highclere Castle, the iconic filming location of Downton Abbey. Not only will you get a glimpse into the lifestyle of nobility but you’ll discover another link to ancient Egypt — the fifth Earl of Carnarvon stood alongside Howard Carter during his most revolutionary discovery of King Tut’s tomb. Walk through the estate’s six-room exhibit that showcases the earl’s fascination with Egypt, beginning with his earliest excavations from 1906.

On a personal tour of these hallowed grounds, you’ll watch this unwavering tradition among the protectors of the fortress, the Yeoman Warders (also known as the Beefeaters). While sailing the storied Danube, a visit to Vienna leads you to Wiener Sängerknaben, the boarding school of the illustrious Vienna Boys’ Choir. Walk among the common areas and rehearsal rooms and then sit down in a salon for a delightful 30-minute private concert — a privilege that you’ll be reminiscing about long after you return home.
On the Romantic Danube voyage, an exclusive visit to Göttweig Abbey offers a glimpse into the lives of the Benedictine monks who still work and reside there. Once you reach the hilltop monastery overlooking the Danube flowing through the Wachau Valley, you’ll be welcomed by a glass of locally produced sparkling apricot wine.

IT’S TIME TO
GO WILD IN CANADA
From coastal waters to temperate rainforests and expansive tundra, Canada offers up-close encounters with extraordinary wildlife — all set against sweeping natural backdrops. These aren’t just sightseeing tours. Guided by Indigenous stewards and dedicated local hosts, these experiences invite travelers to connect deeply with the land and its rhythms while supporting sustainable wildlife-viewing practices will continue to endure for generations. Atlantic Canada: Whale Songs & Open Waters Begin your journey on the eastern edge of the country, where the Gulf of St. Lawrence welcomes migrating marine giants. Between May and October is the peak season to watch whales at the mouth of the river, and you can set out in a Zodiac to be gently guided through sheltered waters by expert leaders. As you glide near Tadoussac, you may spot beluga, humpback and minke whales surfacing nearby. A hydrophone allows you to hear the haunting underwater calls of these majestic mammals.
Between July and August, Hudson Bay becomes home to tens of thousands of beluga whales. Catch them surfacing in the warmer waters of the bay.

Northern Canada: Wild Crossings on the Tundra Head north into the sweeping landscapes of Manitoba or Nunavut, where wildlife migrations unfold on a scale few ever witness. Every year, a great caribou migration takes place from April to May and August to October. Qamanirjuaq caribou traverse the tundra and boreal forests in great herds as springtime draws them to their calving grounds; autumn sees them return through the same wild corridors. Depending on the season, view this awe-inspiring movement from remote wilderness lodges in either territory. Along the Hudson Bay, Churchill’s vast expanse becomes an early-season feasting ground for polar bears just as the ice pack starts to form. Between July and October, watch these polar bears march through Manitoba from the perch of your all-electric Tundra Buggy® — an unforgettable and low-impact way to witness one of Canada’s most iconic bears.

British Columbia: Rainforests & Remote Islands On Canada’s west coast, a new kind of wilderness awaits — one where coastal rainforests, remote archipelagos and rich Indigenous traditions shape your journey. Whales breeching, slapping their tails and exhaling a cloud of mist through their blowholes — it’s a breeze to spot whales on guided boat tours from coastal British Columbia between July and October (depending on the species). Victoria’s Inner Harbour and Vancouver connect easily to the Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands, while the waters of Clayoquot Sound are reached from Tofino and Barkley Sound from Ucluelet. On the remote northern coast, Prince Rupert — part of the Great Bear Rainforest — attracts gray whales, orcas and humpbacks.
Kermode bear
Harlequin duck
Once in a rare while, a creature whispered about in mythology makes its presence known. Typically black coated, the Kermode bear exists only in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest — and a fraction of them express a recessive gene that makes them white or cream colored. Known as Moksgm’ol by the Kitasoo Xai’xais First Nation community, they’re most likely to appear between September and October, shrouded by the temperate rainforest that is accessible by both land and boat. Accessible only by ferry or flight, the Haida Gwaii archipelago in British Columbia is where evolution took its own path. Over the course of centuries, birds and mammals evolved on Haida Gwaii — making this remote cluster of islands unlike any other. An unhurried visit here offers views of the Haida
