What Is Interruption for Any Reason?
You may be familiar with an extra protection in travel insurance called Cancel for Any Reason. It’s an upgraded benefit that offers more flexibility if you need to cancel a trip up until a few days before departure. Now there’s a new variation called Interruption for Any Reason, which is a separate benefit. It means you can cancel your trip after it’s already started, and it covers scenarios that may not be included in a standard trip interruption policy — even if it’s just a change of heart. There are certain requirements that need to be met, including purchasing it within a specific period after your first trip payment. Want to know more? We’re here to help!

ASK OUR EXPERTS
our experts share their insights into getting the most out of your travels.
‘‘How do I travel mindfully to environmentally protected areas?‘‘
Whether it’s a national park, marine reserve or other conservation area — traveling to a protected site means committing to the regulations in place and practicing other sustainable measures. We’re here to help navigate the details!
The Belize Barrier Reef, the world’s second-largest coral reef, is a great example of a protected site that needs constant vigilance to preserve it for future generations. Thanks to protective
measures and coral regeneration initiatives, the Belize Barrier Reef was removed from the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger. Its seven protected areas are home to over 1,400 species, and as a traveler you’re responsible for practices like keeping your distance from marine life and the coral reefs, wearing reef-safe sunscreen and avoiding single-use plastics.
In Africa’s national parks, simple practices can make a big difference. Consider spending more time in a
single park, exploring more deeply and avoiding quick flights. While off-road vehicles are a popular part of the outdoor experience, you can reduce emissions by hiking, kayaking or riding in an electric safari vehicle.
From diving trips to polar travel, we’re here to connect with ecologically minded tour operators. We’ll help you find companies that engage in practices like offsetting carbon dioxide emissions and partnering with conservation groups to support local initiatives.

THE BEST & BRIGHTEST
If you’ve been searching for a sign to go see the aurora borealis in all its glory, we’ve got it right here.

A& Q
We talk with our global network to bring you the latest developments, tips and insights.
Come Out and Travel
John Tanzella, president and CEO of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), shares his tips on how LGBTQ+ travelers can find resources and allies while exploring the world.
How has the landscape of LGBTQ+ travel evolved over the years?
As an organization that works with destinations, cruise lines, hotels, travel advisors and travel media, we're always finding new ways to help others understand diversity. For example, we might connect with a destination where tour operators have been taking small groups of LGBTQ+ travelers for years and begin the conversation that way.
What are some countries that you’ve seen become more welcoming to LGBTQ+ travelers over the years?
India is a good example. It took a few years for us
to gain a foothold there, but they’re very interested in welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers. Japan is another example; they’re going to be the first Asian country to host our annual convention. LGBTQ+ travelers often lead the way in finding the next big destination, including putting Malta on the map a few years ago.
What kinds of resources should people look for when traveling?
Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or not, we always recommend that you know before you go. The IGLTA Foundation website has a lot of resources about local laws and customs. We also recommend
that you register your international trip with the U.S. Department of State so they can be in communication with you if there’s any reason for alarm.
How can travelers be better allies and support LGBTQ+ travel?
I hope to see a future where places can freely welcome everyone. From a traveler’s perspective, instead of avoiding destinations because of their politics, go there and support locally owned businesses and organizations that help members of the LGBTQ+ community. Go and make the most out of your experience.

IT’S TIME TO BREAK FREE
From freewheeling adventures to the freedom to spend time on your own, Avalon Waterways does things a little differently.
Transform a traditional river cruise into a journey of “me” time when you sail with Avalon Waterways. On these elegant ships, you’re in control of your days with flexible schedules and wide-open agendas.
Wake up refreshed each morning while enjoying ever-changing views from your Open-Air Balcony. From the comfort of your Panorama Suite, the lines seem to blur between outside and inside as you slip past the jewels of the Danube, soak up the romance of the Seine or marvel over the Rhine.

into the destination through special moments like cooking with a local or observing a private art collection. If you’re not in the mood to join a group, just grab a free bicycle or e-bike to follow your own path (maps provided!).
Avalon Waterways enhances your river cruise with perks on every ship.

Sailing across oceans, Viking boldly pursues voyages into grand capitals and out-of-the-way ports.

Destination expertise, enriching excursions and many included amenities push the boundaries from a classic European vacation to a truly immersive experience.
JOURNEYS NORTH
In Northern Europe, each port has a vastly different story to tell as you arrive in comfort aboard your Viking vessel. Your first night in Bergen, Norway, is filled with riveting stories of past explorers and rich culture in the Bryggen wharf. Norse sagas carry over to the ancient settlements found in Scotland’s Shetland Islands, while tiny Shetland ponies are believed to have been a part of the local culture since the Bronze Age. On the Orkney Islands, see how nearly 5,000 years of history have survived in the Ring of Brodgar, and try Viking traditions such as rope making and writing in runes. In between these remote visits, learn how the past converges with modern life in cities such as Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin before your grand finale in Greenwich and London.
ODYSSEYS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
Each day offers a new perspective of life in the Mediterranean, where locals treasure their heritage while embracing the present. Dine and dance the night away in Barcelona where medieval lanes and remnants of a Roman wall intertwine with neo-Gothic architecture. From the seaside fortresses of Marseille to the yacht-lined harbor of Monte Carlo, every excursion connects you to the local culture. Hop between Italy’s magical ports and gracefully arrive on the sunny coasts of Greece and Croatia for a full appreciation of all that the Mediterranean has to offer. From feasting on seafood to marveling over artistic masterpieces, you’ll return home with unique stories of exploration.

On this “Day of the Dead,” the veil lifts between the world of the living and those who have passed. Originating in Mexico, this celebratory fiesta takes place on November 1 and 2 as locals gather with their communities adorned in colorful costumes, bright flowers and artfully applied skull makeup. In their homes, families create an altar known as an ofrenda that is lavished with marigolds, food and photographs of their deceased loved ones. You can join local celebrations in areas like Oaxaca City, Mexico City, Mérida and beyond.
5 MARDI GRAS

Upon the culmination of the holiday, lanterns are set afloat to lead the spirits back into their world.

When the summer solstice nears, Sweden celebrates with flower wreaths, Midsummer poles, dancing and feasting. Also known as midsommar, this seasonal celebration spreads from the city into the countryside where wildflowers grow.

YOUR PERSONALPORTTOTHEWORLD a
One of the greatest joys of a Norwegian Cruise Line voyage lies in its simplicity: You only need to unpack once; meals can be as lavish or as light as you wish; and evening performances and endless activities keep you entertained on board. When you add in the option to depart from a cruise ship port that’s easy to reach, then the only question remaining is — when do you want to go?
Norwegian Cruise Line now has two ships homeporting from the Port of Baltimore: Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Sun. Pick your direction from the Chesapeake Bay harbor — north along the coasts of New England and Canada, or southeast toward the islands of Bermuda and the Caribbean.
