Status of 2024/25 Trips
& Temporary Risk-Free Booking Policy
CURRENT AS OF JUNE 4, 2024
We are presently accepting reservations for 2024 and 2025 trips.
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, Spain, Austria, Japan, and Bulgaria. Virtually all Covid-related restrictions for travel to and within these countries have also been removed and we are operating in pre-pandemic mode. 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.
