Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • Join the thousands of people who’ve taken on the world’s most famous pilgrimage—one that leaves most saying, “I definitely have to come back.” Come along and see why for yourself! Over eight days, we’ll spend six of them cycling through some seriously beautiful landscapes. Along the way, we’ll savor delicious local food, take in breathtaking views, and ride alongside the majestic Atlantic Ocean, which will feel like a trusty companion, always by our side. The route mixes things up with everything from flat paths to a few gentle hills, making it fun and accessible. As we make our way to the iconic Santiago de Compostela, every turn promises a new surprise, turning this journey into an adventure we’ll never forget.

    • We’ll kick off our Camino Portugues bike tour on foot with a fun walking tour around Porto. Come along and discover the city’s hidden gems—from art and history to its vibrant traditions. It’s a great way to spend the day in Porto and the perfect opportunity to meet the crew who’ll be cycling with us over the next six days. Before the real action begins tomorrow, we’ll relax and recharge at the 4-star hotel. For a premium experience, the 5-star hotel is available as your accommodation.

Along the way, we’ll enjoy stunning coastal views and charming little ‘Portuguese rivieras.’ We’ll pass through several fishing villages, where we’ll experience local traditions and taste fresh seafood. In Vila do Conde, we’ll learn why these coastal cities were so important during the golden age of Portuguese discoveries.

Plus, we’ll dive into the local cuisine, which is definitely something to look forward to.

    • We’re heading to Caldas de Reis, a pre-Roman town in the Pontevedra province. The first settlers here thrived thanks to the hot springs, which are still popular today. Aside from its rich history, like Arcade, Caldas de Reis is famous for its local food, like lamprey empanadas and traditional Spanish bread. And with its hot springs, it’s still a top spot for tourists seeking health treatments. Today, we’re staying in a Torre do Rioor rural house.
