How does it work?

Allows you to cancel your pilgrimage for any reason that is not covered by Travel Insurance up until 48 hours prior to departure, and receive a full refund of trip costs paid to Catholic Journeys, minus the non-refundable insurance and waiver premiums.

What does it cover?

It covers your trip cost paid to Catholic Journeys when your reason for canceling is not covered by Travel Insurance.
Ex: If your time-off was not approved, for financial reasons, or if you have a change of heart about traveling.

When do I need to purchase?

The plan is offered only at the time of registration at a rate of $299, in combination with Travel Insurance, and can be purchased within 48 hours of booking. The fee of $299 must be paid at the time of deposit. 48 hours after registration and prior to your departure’s scheduled final payment date (90 days for most departures) this can be purchased at the amount of $349 per person in combination with the Travel Insurance.

How do I cancel?

All cancellations must be sent to Catholic Journeys in writing (via mail or email). Cancellations must first be pursued in good faith under the Travel Insurance. If/ when you are denied reimbursement from the Insurance Company, provide Catholic Journeys with the letter of denial, and Catholic Journeys will reimburse you for all money received by Catholic Journeys (excluding the cost of the premiums for the travel insurance plan and the Cancel for Any Reason policy).

Do I receive all of my money back?

Yes, all money, excluding the cost of the premiums for the travel insurance plan and the Cancel for Any Reason policy.

The Cancel for Any Reason Waiver is NOT Travel Insurance, and DOES NOT cover the following:

• Anything covered by the Travel Insurance Plan.
• Any services NOT purchased through Catholic Journeys
• The “Single Supplement” charges which arise from an individual’s traveling companion electing to cancel for any reason prior to departure. In this case, the Single Supplement will be deducted from the refund of the person who cancels. The division of this charge, between the two passengers involved, is solely their responsibility. If insufficient funds are deducted from the canceling client, the traveling client will be charged the remaining portion of the Single Supplement.

Catholic Journeys will assume no responsibility for, and cannot be held liable for, any wrongful, negligent or unauthorized acts of omissions of any travel agent or travel agency other than that of CatholicJourneys.com, LLC itself, and its own employees.
