How do travel insurance payments work? Travel insurance can pay claims in different ways depending on the situation. For trip cancellation, travel delays or lost luggage, you’ll typically pay the expense yourself and then submit receipts and supporting documentation for reimbursement. Medical claims can work differently. In some cases — particularly for hospitalizations, emergency evacuations or other major emergencies — the insurer may arrange direct payment with the provider, though documentation is still required. It’s also worth noting whether your policy is considered primary or secondary medical coverage. Primary coverage pays eligible medical claims first, while secondary coverage generally requires you to submit claims through your regular health insurance before seeking reimbursement from the travel insurer.

INSIDE TRAVEL

our experts share their insights into getting the most out of your travels.

Is there a seamless way to transport my luggage and sports equipment? Absolutely. We frequently get calls from people who are planning a ski vacation, an epic bike adventure, or a dream golf or fishing trip. We know how to make this process a lot simpler than you imagined. For starters, most major U.S. airlines allow sports equipment as checked baggage, with some rules around dimensions, weight and packing requirements. Skis, snowboards and golf clubs can even count toward your checked baggage when packed properly — in dedicated padded or hard-sided travel cases, preferably 4

with wheels. Bicycles (e-bike batteries are not allowed) usually require some disassembly and protective packing in a bike box or case. Since our goal is to create the most seamless travel experiences, we’ve partnered with Ship&Play to make life even easier. Free yourself from baggage with this concierge service that allows you to ship your belongings ahead of your journey. That includes sending your bags and equipment straight to your hotel or cruise ship and then having them returned directly to your home.

Imagine breezing through the airport without lugging a bike case or waiting at the oversized baggage claim. Your gear can be ready when you arrive, allowing you to focus on the experience ahead. You also have the benefit of avoiding potential hassles such as airport transfers, missed connections, or getting your equipment into a train or taxi upon arrival. Let us help you navigate these details, and everything else, on your next adventure. Call, email or visit our website — found on the back cover — to start planning.

True to Thailand

With Bedsonline, we’ll give you the keys to insider moments, from the alleyways of Bangkok to the mountain homes of Chiang Mai. Culture in the Land of Smiles With its ancient temples and revered statues, Bangkok’s beloved treasures are an essential first sight on your journey through Thailand. A local guide divulges the cultural legacies behind the artistry and architecture of the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, followed by a deep dive into Museum Siam to reveal the essence of khwam pen Thai — meaning the true Thai identity known culturally as “Thainess.” Outdoor Authenticity Beyond Bangkok, outdoor excursions reveal a different perspective on local

communities. Wooden stilt homes and paddling boats loaded with goods greet you at the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, just a day trip from the capital. For a longer journey, nature beckons you to beautiful Phuket, where you’ll observe the dramatic limestone karsts of James Bond Island and see the floating fishing village of Koh Panyee. Culinary Discoveries in the Mountains Earthy, herbaceous and aromatic, Northern Thailand’s Lanna cuisine has earned its well-deserved reputation

Barceloneta Beach, Barcelona, Spain

S unsets and Soirées

How would you describe the atmosphere of Mediterranean beach clubs? Mykonos delivers high‑energy beach clubs that lean into that Greek isle chic style. On the more relaxed side, Ibiza surprises people with a bohemian beachfront where you can enjoy sunbeds and sangria. Bodrum, Türkiye, has a laid-back stretch of trendy beach clubs where the pace slows down without losing any charm.

What sets Shore Things apart from traditional excursions? We highlight off-the-beaten-path spots alongside the must-see highlights, and we organize experiences by vibe — including a Once in a Lifetime category for the truly out of the ordinary.

What are some of your favorite ports in the Mediterranean? Ajaccio is a favorite for pure variety. Sailors can canyon down the waterfalls of Richiusa Canyon, bike out to Pointe de la Parata, take a Corsican buggy adventure through the backcountry, or hike the Vizzavona Forest capped off with a local apéro. On the Amalfi Coast, Sailors can hike the legendary Path of the Gods before descending into Positano. Villefranche-sur-Mer has it all: e-biking, exploring hilltop villages, local picnics with wine tastings, and even helicopter tours over the French Riviera.

Sailing the Virgin Way has an energy unlike any other. Natasha Salzedo, senior director of itineraries and destinations at Virgin Voyages, shares how to harness that feeling on shore and on board.

What are some special touches that Sailors can expect in a culinary excursion? In Nice, we take Sailors to a private estate near Grasse for an olive oil tasting and then into a pesto-making workshop before wrapping up in the art-filled hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. In Dubrovnik, it’s all about slowing down to taste fresh oysters from the famous Mali Ston Bay before heading to a family-run estate for local wines and homemade rakija fruit brandy. Can you share how Virgin Voyages’ Happenings Cast gets involved? Our Happenings Cast is made up of 12 dynamic personalities in place of a traditional cruise director. They keep the surprises coming, from Let’s Set Sail to the Scarlet Night party. On shore, that same spirit of surprise shows up in experiences like the Floating Caribbean Party or the docking of Valiant Lady in Barcelona, a sought-after port for luxury liners and mega‑yachts.

From mist-covered mountains and primeval rainforests to charming harbor towns and stunning coastlines, Avanti Destinations will guide you through Tassie’s untamed beauty. Known to Indigenous Aboriginal people as Nipaluna, Hobart is remote enough from the mainland that it has developed its own unique personality.

Visit the many national parks and reserves to witness towering trees that envelope the skies, observe intricate cave systems, and listen to the sounds of cascading waterfalls. Wildlife thrives across Tasmania’s rugged landscapes: Echidnas nosing through leaves, wombats grazing grasslands and, if you’re lucky, a platypus gliding through river waters will make a memory to treasure for a lifetime.

Tasmanians’ attachment to the land is apparent in its cuisine as well.

Preserving Community Sicily, Italy

Since 1918, Collette’s tours have tapped into the past while celebrating the local life of today.

Two Sicilian delicacies, both crafted under the same conditions, offer an experience of contrasts in the ancient village of Pollara. Capperi (capers), grown in the black volcanic soil of Sicily and dried in the sun, are a salty, briny counterpart to the intensely sweet Malvasia wines of the region — made in the passito style of drying the grapes before pressing them. With Collette, these are just two of the many immersive lessons that you’ll learn as you explore local communities, led by the experts who live there. On this journey through Sicily, every day gives you a different point of view. Influences from Arab and Norman cultures come together in the street food of Palermo, while a cooking class and wine tasting in Marsala honors the rich heritage of this famous region. Stories from an olive farmer reveal untold tales of Sicily that only a local could know, while visits to private beaches and a stunning Aeolian island complete your journey. Collette’s philosophy of local connections extends throughout the world. In the American Southwest, you’ll explore Canyon de Chelly with a Navajo guide, where you’ll discover the centuries-old traditions of Acoma Pueblo — one of North America’s oldest inhabited communities — built atop a sandstone mesa by Ancestral 16

Puebloan people. From the warm feeling of Gemütlichkeit that surrounds you in a German winter holiday market to the excitement of a seafood beach barbecue with the ama pearl divers of Ise-Shima, Japan, every expertly crafted tour makes you feel more connected.

Gentoo penguin

Life always has a way of surprising you on Seabourn’s luxury expedition voyages. On Earth’s frozen tundra, every season brings a different series of wonders as Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit deliver you there in luxury. Wildlife awakens in Antarctica’s spring as Adélie, chinstrap and gentoo penguins set out to the rocky coast for courtship and nest building. As the ice recedes in later months, over 18 hours of daylight shine over the shoreline, chicks begin to hatch and whale sightings become more abundant. In the latter part of the season, whales go on a feeding frenzy before their journey to warmer waters and larger swaths of the Antarctic Peninsula become more accessible.

Sail aboard an expedition ship that was purpose-built to navigate these waters. You’ll be joined by an Expedition Team — comprised of academics, scientists, wildlife experts, and naturalists — that turns its intimate knowledge of the region into life-changing experiences for you. Journeys of adventure are enhanced by photographer-led Zodiac® tours and hikes, daily lectures and briefings, and optional kayaking outings that bring you closer to the wilderness. On any given day, you might: • Behold the colony of 250,000 king penguins on the north coast of South Georgia. • Observe the abandoned whaling station of Grytviken, where you can pay respects at the memorial of Sir Ernest Shackleton.

• Conquer the iconic Drake Passage, where dolphins jump with abandon and albatrosses soar overhead. • Marvel over one of Antarctica’s most active tidewater glaciers in Neko Harbour within Andvord Bay. Seabourn brings ultra-luxury experiences to the moments that change your view of the world: champagne and caviar enhance glacier sightings from the deck; high-end seasonal cuisine with open seating let you share stories of the day’s adventures; and sumptuous suites and spas ensure restful relaxation in between daily discoveries.

Closer than you think, and at a scale bigger than you ever imagined, Tainui Atea is Earth’s largest marine protected area. In these French Polynesian waters, humpback whales perform aquatic ballets and sing underwater — observable during whale season from July to November. Dive among 176 species of colorful coral and spot the deep-sea creatures that consider this region 28

their sanctuary — including 21 species of sharks, as well as rays, turtles and dolphins. By safeguarding nearly 2 million square miles of ocean — including protections for deep‑sea ecosystems — the Islands of Tahiti are preserving the region’s ecological significance and cultural history while strengthening its biodiversity and overall resilience. Responsible practices open these wonders to those who approach with care and protect this vitally important ecosystem. Within this watery expanse is the Gambier Archipelago, a collection of five islands and a dozen islets and cays that share one magnificent lagoon. Slip onto the secluded island of Mangareva, where the world’s most coveted Tahitian pearls are harvested, volcanic Mount Duff rises dramatically from the lagoon and coral limestone churches dot the landscape.

Loire Valley

Château de Chenonceau, Loire Valley, France

Rediscover your passions in this romantic region with Europe Express. Ethereal light seems to rise from the river in the French countryside. It’s a place so special that photographs can rarely capture the beauty of its blossoming fields of lavender and châteaux that seem to have come from a storybook. Shaped by long-held traditions and locals who remain true to their culture, the Loire Valley must be experienced deeply and with intention — a journey that we can create with Europe Express. Anchored by Avignon and Tours, the Loire Valley is an idyllic spot for those in search of homegrown culinary experiences, renowned white wines, extravagant architecture, and stunning landscapes that have earned it the nickname “garden of France.” In fact, this region is so treasured that the area

between Chalonnes and Sully-sur-Loire is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being a living cultural landscape. A curated day with Europe Express blends vivid garden walks with a cruise along the Loire River on a classic wooden boat, culminating in a visit to a family-run winery tucked within the clay-limestone hillsides. Led by a local expert who offers insight into Chinon’s ancient winemaking heritage, you’ll emerge from this tour more knowledgeable and satisfied with life. Rich culinary excursions include a hands- on baking class inside a village atelier, where you’ll learn how French dough is formed into light-as-air brioche and buttery

THE ART of

SPANISH LIVING

Social and sophisticated, Madrid was built around human connection. The rhythmic hum of marketplaces and monuments, late-night terrace gatherings with plentiful pours, and heritage towns where locals go to slow down — Madrid and its surrounding region go far beyond the typical attractions.

Club Financiero Génova

Finding Inspiration in the City Joining the Madrid lifestyle is as simple as matching the energy that surrounds you. Each neighborhood reveals a different side of the city, from the elegant shopping and dining of Salamanca to the literary history of Las Letras and the independent spirit of Malasaña. In the green heart of Madrid, Retiro marries the calmness of its namesake 44

park with the thrum of tapas bars and award-winning restaurants — reflecting the balance between relaxation and social connection that defines everyday life here. Go with the flow of the Madrileños with a midmorning snack known as almuerzo, an afternoon apéritif of vermut de grifo (vermouth on tap), and late-start dinners that linger long into the night.

Culture is woven naturally into daily life. Residents and visitors alike spend hours exploring the celebrated museums along Paseo del Prado — the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza. After nearly 25 years in the making, the recently opened Royal Collections Gallery is a grand cultural addition to the city.

Museo del Prado

Malasaña neighborhood

Seamless Exploration in Greater Madrid While Madrid’s energy is captivating, some of the region’s most rewarding experiences lie just beyond the city limits. Less than an hour away, Alcalá de Henares invites visitors to explore the birthplace of “Don Quixote” author Miguel de Cervantes. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also recognized as the world’s first university city and offers a deeper look at Spain’s intellectual and literary heritage. More UNESCO heritage lingers in Sierra de Guadarrama, where the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial still stands as an enormous Renaissance-era masterpiece. Discover equally historical architecture in Chinchón before touring the ancient caves where Anís de Chinchón liqueur is distilled. Limestone caves are also known for producing the wines of Bodega del Real Cortijo de Carlos III — part of the Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) known as Vinos de Madrid. Discover more from this exclusive wine region as you sip the organic varietals from Las Moradas and Tierra Calma, best paired with world-class restaurants found throughout the region.

El Retiro Park

To the north, the scenery shifts once again in Sierra Norte de Madrid. Medieval slate villages, the peaks of Sierra de Guadarrama National Park and the UNESCO-protected beech forest of Hayedo de Montejo invite visitors to slow their pace and connect with the natural world. With so many treasures to explore in the city and beyond, we’re here to create your journey. Call, email or visit our website, found on the back cover, and enter offer m30213 to get started.

Even the most well-traveled experiences feel original again when you explore them in the glow of fall or winter. Breeze along the canals of Venice in a classic gondola, wrapped in a blanket and serenaded by a charming gondolier, before sitting down for a well-deserved

espresso while people-watching in St. Mark’s Square. A Tuscan castle perched on a hilltop becomes a warm and welcoming space as you enter the kitchen to make pasta from scratch and sip Italian wine aged right there in the estate’s cellar. A complimentary drive through Marseille leads you to photo ops of significant sites and is followed by free time in the downtown core to enjoy a flavorful bowl of bouillabaisse, made for a local’s palate.

If you can time your journey to the winter holiday season, you’ll be side by side with residents who are also soaking up the festive atmosphere. Admire the architecture of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona’s Park Güell like a local or explore the Monaco Christmas Market in Port Hercules’ central square, and dive into holiday dishes that are beloved traditions. The benefits of traveling during this season build atop one another. Your airfare and cruise fare will likely be lower than in the high season, and lower demand means more flexibility to upgrade your stateroom at a great value. No matter what season you travel, you’ll always enjoy at least one

The Warmth of a

Winter Wonderland

Québec City, Québec, Canada

Enjoy a heartfelt welcome into Canada as you join in shared traditions and learn from local storytellers.

When you live up north, the arrival of winter comes with a familiar sense of anticipation — excitement for the crisp air and snowy adventures that await outside, and readiness to embrace the comfort of crackling fireplaces, hot drinks and twinkling holiday lights. In Canada’s winter season, leaning into the locals’ ways will be your connection to understanding the culture through its communities.

Montréal en Lumière, Québec, Canada

SEASONED TRADITIONS IN QUÉBEC Celebrate Québec’s festive season as the province transforms into a winter wonderland. Québec City feels like a fairy tale at Marché de Noël Allemand, the German-style Christmas market where oversized puppets stroll down the road, musicians playing the long wooden alphorn echo through the streets, and vendors chat freely about their artisan goods and handmade crafts. Even when the holidays are a distant memory, the city continues to shine with Carnaval de Québec — a 10-day spectacle of eye-catching ice and snow sculptures, nighttime parades and musical performances. In magical Montréal, locals and visitors fill up the dance floor in one joyful union at the Igloofest music festival. The city then lights up for Montréal en Lumière, one of the largest winter festivals in the world. In between special events, shared moments create a lifetime of memories. You’ll find yourself oohing and ahhing over comforting Québecois dishes like hearty poutine and syrup-drenched pouding chômeur. A night at the Hôtel de Glace starts as a spectacle and quickly transforms into a shared experience that you’ll reminisce about for years to come. Everywhere you travel across the province, you’ll find yourself caught up in the joie de vivre of the season as people come together through cuisine and culture.

A WARM INVITATION TO CANADA’S NORTH Amid the sharp air in Canada’s vast northern terrain, long, clear nights reveal an ethereal vision. Up here, watching northern lights is a natural part of the winter experience — whether you’re surrounded by the warmth of a geothermal hot spring or a heated teepee — all revealed in their full intensity by the hosts who are known around the region as aurora hunters for their expertise and insight. From the Yukon to the Northwest Territories, aurora borealis may be what inspires you to travel here, but it’s the people who will charm you with their warm and hospitable natures. Discover how the land gives with abundance, even in the coldest months. Whether it’s an ice-fishing excursion, a snowy hike through a boreal forest or a dog-sledding adventure across the tundra, each day brings a different perspective of life up north. Creativity blooms in Yellowknife as the monthlong Snowking Winter Festival brings people together on a frozen lake to admire a massive snow castle built by hand along with ice slides, snow- carving symposiums and live musical performances. After weeks without sun in the Arctic, the locals of Inuvik celebrate the Inuvik Sunrise Festival with three days of events featuring Indigenous drummers and dancers, cultural workshops, ice sculptures, and more.

Lake Louise is frozen in motion yet bursting with energy as people skate effortlessly across the solidly frozen lake at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise beneath views of Victoria Glacier and the snowy Rocky Mountains. Adventures appeal to all ages, like a winter gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain for 360-degree views of six frosted mountain ranges or a sleigh ride though a fairy-tale forest. Festivals heighten your sense of adventure, from the weekslong Banff SnowDays Festival that celebrates winter in the mountains to Calgary’s Chinook Blast filled with glowing outdoor art and vibrant night markets. Slow down your pace with a dip into outdoor hot springs or by looking up at the stars in Jasper’s Dark Sky Preserve. At Métis Crossing, sky-watching domes and Indigenous-led programs and storytelling elevate stargazing into an enriching experience where you’ll feel connected to the people sharing their knowledge. As snow settles across Canada’s landscapes, there’s an easygoing energy from the locals inviting you to embrace the season alongside them. From the Indigenous guides sharing their stories to chefs opening their kitchens and neighbors waving from the dock, that feeling of winter magic will stay with you long after you return home.
