There are some great deals traveling 1st Class. These deals are based on deeply discounted fares, that are still nonrefundable. Be mindful of the rules prior to purchasing one of these great fares.
There are two types of cruise and tour travel insurance. The least expensive will give you a voucher to travel later. The more expensive policy provides a cash refund. These insurances only cover the actual cruise or actual tour, nothing else. Complete coverage requires the purchase of independent travel insurance.
