Coronavirus Update:  March 5, 2021

New Covid-19 cases in the U.S. are down 74% since the peak on January 11 and cases in Canada are down 67% since the peak on January 9. Click here to see numbers for the U.S. and click here to see numbers for Canada.

The new, one-shot vaccine from Johnson & Johnson was approved by the FDA and will be put to use immediately alongside the vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. Merck will help produce the J&J vaccine and the expectation now is that every American adult who wants a vaccine will be able to get it by the end of May. Prime Minister Trudeau has said that every Canadian who wants the vaccine will be able to get it by the end of September.

Half of Americans age 65 and older have already received at least one dose of a vaccine and that segment of the population is helping to fuel a surge in bookings at Vacations To Go.

Please note that anyone holding a future travel credit from a canceled tour or river cruise is able to apply that credit to any tour or river cruise with the same company booked through Vacations To Go, regardless of whether the original trip was booked through Vacations To Go.

Below we’ve listed dates of suspended service by tour and river cruise operator and provided links to each company's policy covering future travel credit and refunds on canceled trips. We have also provided links to relaxed cancelation terms for bookings on future vacations.
 
In general, tour operators and river cruise companies are offering generous incentives to customers who accept future travel credit in lieu of a refund on a trip that has been canceled by the operator.
 
Due to a backlog of refund requests, it may take tour and river cruise operators up to 90 days after the cancelation date to return funds to customers. No further action is needed if the booking is canceled and it is not necessary to contact Vacations To Go.
