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.

  • This Cinque Terre 4-day hiking adventure links all five villages on foot, following historic coastal trails high above the Italian Riviera. Instead of rushing by train, we climb, descend, and earn every view, discovering how life has clung to these cliffs for centuries. Days are active and scenic, with plenty of time to enjoy villages at your own pace in the evenings. It’s Cinque Terre done properly—compact, immersive, and full of character, perfect for travelers short on time but big on experience.

    • We start the adventure in La Spezia, followed by a short private transfer to Porto Venere. After a short sightseeing walk through this picturesque seaside town, we begin our hike, ascending gradually as the shimmering Ligurian Sea stretches out below us. The climb is steady rather than strenuous, leaving time to enjoy the views, pause for photos, and take in the coastal landscape. From the high points of the trail, we descend toward Riomaggiore, where colorful houses tumble down toward the water and our first hiking day comes to a satisfying close.

      Hiking: 14 km (8.7 mi)
      Elevation gain/loss: +/-700 m (2,300 ft)
      Accommodation: 3-star hotel

      The village of Rionaggiore in CInque Terre

    • Today’s walk is a little gentler, but no less scenic. We climb into the hills of the Cinque Terre National Park before descending toward the lively village of Manarola. After time to explore, we continue on to Volastra and Corniglia, enjoying sweeping coastal views and terraced landscapes along the way. At the end of the hike, we return by train to Monterosso. In the evening, we celebrate the day with a relaxed local dinner, accompanied by excellent regional wines.

      Hiking: 11 km (6.8 mi)
      Elevation gain/loss: +/-550 m (1,800 ft)
      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-star hotel

      Stunning Corniglia Italy

    • This is the most scenic and challenging day of the journey as we hike through the heart of the Cinque Terre, passing from Corniglia through Vernazza and on to Monterosso. The trail links iconic villages and offers some of the region’s most spectacular views. We take our time, stopping often for photos, coffee breaks, and moments to simply enjoy the scenery. Reaching Monterosso in the afternoon brings a strong sense of accomplishment, followed by a peaceful sunset and a well-earned dinner at a local restaurant.

      Hiking: 13 km (8.1 mi)
      Elevation gain/loss: +/-450 m (1,480 ft)
      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: 3-star hotel

      COlorful houses Monterosso

    • On our final day, we leave Monterosso behind and hike toward the charming town of Levanto. The trail offers a calmer, more peaceful walk, with gentle descents and a fresh perspective on the coastline we’ve been exploring. Arriving in Levanto around midday, we conclude our journey feeling both satisfied and refreshed. From here, onward travel by train is easy, allowing us to continue on to other Italian destinations.

      Hiking: 10 km (6.2 mi)
      Elevation gain/loss: +/-400 m (1,310 ft)
      Meals: Breakfast
