    Welcome To Dubrovnik
    Simply put, Dubrovnik is captivating. And stunning. And awe-inducing. Add just about any superlative and it might fit with this southern Dalmatian Coast town of about 40,000 people. After all, there are few places on the planet where a walled medieval town meets the warm azure-colored sea. Itʼs no wonder this Croatian town has been the star of Hollywood films and TV shows, such as Game of Thrones.

Frequently Asked Questions

INSURANCE

Do you require me to have travel insurance?
Yes. The cruise is in 2027, and so many things can occur between now and then. But we also are using partners and 3rd party suppliers and want to protect you against their issues such as insolvency, political challenges overseas, and other factors.
How much insurance do I need?
While the cruise is $4,799/person, we would suggest insuring just the deposit to start. You can increase your coverage as you add on flights and your final payment later on.
Why are you recommending the Travelex 360 Group Premier plan for insurance?

We wanted to provide an easy and cost-effective way for you to purchase a full coverage policy, the covers trip interruption, trip cancellation, pre-existing conditions, medical issues, and more.

What is the cost for a $1,000 Travelex 360 Group Premier Policy?

Pricing and plans can vary by your state of residence and age. The price for someone up to 59 years old is $86, for 60-74 years old is it $114, and for 75+ it is $168.

What will it cost to have my whole trip insured by Travelex 360 Group Premier?

You can increase your coverage all the way up to final payment date of the trip, to a maximum of $20,000/person. Here is a sample chart for the Travelex 360 Group Premier Plan:

Is this primary coverage or secondary coverage?

Travelex 360 Group Premier is primary coverage while on the trip.

Am I required to purchase the Travelex plan you are offering, or can I use different travel insurance?
You are only required to have travel insurance and provide proof of coverage. You can purchase your policy from any company.
Can I use the travel protection offered by the credit card I am using to pay for the trip?
Yes, but it is not recommended. Credit card coverage is very limited, does not cover pre-existing conditions, and your policy/benefits can change between now and the time you travel. Credit card protection does not cover many of the trip interruption or cancellation benefits that 3rd parties offer. They also do not cover financial insolvency, cancel for business reasons, and have very narrow definition of who is considered a family member. Can I buy the Travelex 360 Group Premium policy through you? Yes, and we are able to sell you most brands of Travel insurance if you are interested including Allianz, Arch RoamRight, IMG, Blue Geo, and others.
