Australia and New Zealand Inspiring Journeys temporarily paused until 1 December 2021.
In response to the continued uncertainty around internal borders and travel due to COVID-19, Inspiring Journeys has temporarily paused Australian Guided Holidays departures from now until 1 December 2021.
Unfortunately, the current operating environment has meant that we cannot deliver our usual high standard of guest experience for group touring. Despite most of our tours already being impacted by cancellations due to lockdowns and restrictions, we hope that by being proactive it provides some level of certainty to you with regards to your travel with us in the short-term.
If your travel plans are impacted by this decision, your Travel Agent or one of our Inspiring Journeys Reservations team will be in contact with you directly. Please bear with us as we work through these calls in order of departing tour. Current Australian bookings from now to 1 December 2021 have automatically been moved to Future Travel Credit. However, we will be able to discuss your personal circumstances when we contact you.
Inspiring Journeys COVID-19 Vaccination requirements from 1 December 2021.
Effective immediately, all guest booked to travel with Inspiring Journeys are required to be fully vaccinated to travel.
The wellbeing of our guests is our top priority. That’s why we’ve updated our vaccination policy to require all guests traveling with us through December 31, 2022 be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, which may include a booster shot to keep it current and valid. Children under 16 must provide a verifiable and negative Covid-19 test result taken 72 hours prior to the start of the tour (taking time zones into consideration) until further notice.
We thank you in advance for your support during this time and we can’t wait to get back to doing what we do best - providing you with memorable experiences and unforgettable travel moments.
