COVID-19 Updates
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact our daily lives. Yet the rate of vaccinated individuals continues to grow in our community and around the world. That is exciting and bright news for the travel industry!
As we move forward, please know that your safety remains our number one priority as you travel with your fellow Huskies and friends. Our tour operators have diligently worked to put health and safety protocols in place. These protocols may change based on up-to-date conditions at a tour’s destination.
Thank you for your ongoing support of UW Alumni Tours. We look forward to helping you plan safe and fulfilling experiences as you explore this incredible world.
2021 Tour Reservations
Travelers with reservations on fall trips will be notified by the tour operator via email on any status updates. In the event of a postponed or canceled trip, operators will provide you with options for next steps.
Your best resource for questions about your current reservation is with the tour operator. Their contact information can be found in the next section, “Tour Operator Health & Safety Protocols.”
Tour Operator Health & Safety Protocols
When travel resumes, it will be incredibly important that travelers and tour operators work together to keep each other safe. Traveler safety is top priority for our tour operators. They have developed health and safety protocols which they will update as new information is available or conditions at a destination change.

Reservation Cancellation Policies
In light of the impact of the pandemic, our tour operators have relaxed their cancellation policies for 2021 and 2022 tour reservations. Since each tour operator functions differently, we recommend referring to the most recent email from the tour operator for details about your specific trip. Please reach out to the tour operator directly for questions.
Travel Insurance Questions
If you purchased travel insurance and are thinking of canceling your trip, or if you have been offered a future trip credit, be sure to contact your travel insurance provider as soon as possible to take care of any changes that may need to be made. For policies with USI, a customer service team is available, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. (Eastern Time). Please call (800) 937-1387 or email for assistance. Due to the high call and email volumes, please expect longer wait times. If the phone line is busy, please consider submitting your questions via email. Their COVID-19 FAQ page is also a helpful resource.
