Odysseys is committed to your comfort and safety while you travel with us. That’s why, in March of 2024, we implemented Physical Activity Levels (PALs) that “rate” the physical requirements and rigors of each of our tours on a scale of 1 to 5, so that you can ensure the tour you choose is the best fit for you and your physical ability. The tour-specific PALs also include rigors, which detail the specific physical demands of each tour.
You can find the PAL level and rigors for each of our small group tours in several places for easy reference: on our website, attached to the confirmation email sent to you after you make your reservation, and in your My Odyssey portal.
Find the general definitions for each Physical Activity Level by clicking here.
To find PALs and tour rigors on our website, navigate to the webpage for your tour by clicking Destinations in the menu bar at the top of the page (to pull up the menu on mobile, tap the three bars on the upper right hand corner). Then, select the country associated with your tour and find your tour in the resulting list.
Alternatively, you can find a full list of Odysseys tours here.
On your tour’s webpage, the Physical Activity Level is noted near the top of the page.
Example:
To see the list of tour rigors, click on the Physical Activity Level noted in blue.
This will take you to a pop-up screen listing the tour-specific rigors.
If you have made a reservation, you can find your tour’s Physical Activity Level and specific rigors on your My Odyssey portal. For portal login and user instructions, click here.
We hope this information is useful as you consider your future travel options. Should you have any questions about the Physical Activity Level or rigors of a tour, please contact us and we’d be happy to assist you.
