Health & Safety

We welcome all travelers, but you should be in relatively good health in order to participate in activities as outlined in the Physical Activity Levels for each tour. You must be able to get on and off motorcoaches and boats on your own, as well as keep pace with the tour group. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance; in such cases you must be accompanied by a companion who will assist you. Please note that many of our tour itineraries, for reasons beyond our control, do not accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters.

 

Health and Safety Protocols

The health and safety of our guests and staff on tour remains our top priority, and Odysseys Unlimited is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable touring experience for all. Our updated health and safety protocols, including those related to COVID-19, can be found here and will be available on your My Odyssey portal at the time of reservation.

 

Hygiene

We ask that you practice good hygiene by:

  • Frequently washing your hands
  • Using hand sanitizer after touching high-traffic items like door handles, handrails, buttons, etc.
  • Avoiding touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth, before cleansing your hands
  • Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or your inner elbow when coughing or sneezing

Travelers with persistent cold- or flu-like symptoms may be asked by their tour director to wear a mask indoors when in close proximity to other travelers and while on the motorcoach.

 

Prescription Medications

Travel Tip

As a standard practice, keep all medications, including over the counter medication and vitamins, in their original containers.

You may wish to obtain written prescriptions in case you lose your medicine and require a refill while traveling. Ask your doctor to prescribe a generic rather than brand-name drug in case the brand-name drug is not available overseas.

 

Travel Protection

Travel Tip

Consider obtaining travel protection.

We strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance (or “travel protection”) in case you need to cancel your tour due to illness or injury and/or to ensure against emergency evacuation, baggage loss, and/or other unforeseen circumstances. Odysseys Unlimited offers a travel protection plan through TripMate that includes coverage for these events and more; visit www.tripmate.com/wpGR350 to view the plan details and call (833) 245-3934 for any policy questions or claims.

You may also purchase travel protection independently. If you choose not to obtain travel protection, we recommend contacting your health insurance provider to learn what medical coverage you may have while on tour.

 

Allergies and Special Needs

Travel Tip

For more information on staying healthy while on tour, see our blog post: How to Stay Healthy while Traveling.

Inform us (via email, phone call, and/or on your My Odyssey portal) and, once on tour, your Odysseys Unlimited Tour Director if you have any of the following health conditions:

  • Insulin dependence
  • Severe allergies (to food, insects, etc.)
  • Any other special needs vital to your health

You may want to consider wearing a medical ID tag or bracelet identifying your medical condition, if appropriate.

Travel Tip

If you have a severe food allergy, have your tour director or a hotel staff member(s) write a note in the local language(s) stating your allergy (i.e. “I am allergic to peanuts.”). Then, each time you dine at a restaurant, show this note to your waiter.

Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET
