We put your safety first.
Safety is always our top priority, and we have been working hard to make sure that our return to travel will be as safe as it is fun! We strive to make your travel experience worry-free, so here are some of the ways we will be keeping everyone safe:
Assigned Seating: Seat selection will
be made at the time of booking, and you will maintain that
seat for the duration of your tour. During the booking
process, you will be able to view the seating plan online
and choose the seat you would like. So, the sooner you
book, the better chance youll have of getting your
preferred seating location!
Protection Plus: Book with confidence
when you purchase our Protection Plus waiver! Protection
Plus is available on all our 2022 motorcoach tours,
and allows you to cancel for any reason right up until your
tours departure time and receive a full refund on the
price of your tour. Worried about waking up with the
sniffles the morning of your tour? Protection Plus will
have you covered! *Protection Plus is not available on
tours that include cruises or airfare.
Mandatory face masks: Aboard our coaches, all passengers, staff and drivers are required to wear face masks at all times.
All passengers are to supply their own face masks, which
must be properly worn at all times while onboard the
coach.
You will not be permitted to board the coach if you have been advised that you should be isolating. Boarding will also be denied if you have any of the following symptoms that are not related to other conditions:
Fever or chills
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Cough, sore throat, trouble swallowing
Runny nose/nasal congestion, decrease or loss of smell or taste
Nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
Feeling unwell, extreme fatigue,
sore muscles, pink eye
Protective barriers: Plexiglass
barriers have been installed behind the drivers seats
on our motor coaches for your safety.
Hand sanitizer: Hand sanitizer units
have been installed on the entry doors or in the stepwell
of our coaches, and in the rear of the coach in the onboard
washroom. Frequent hand sanitizer use is strongly
encouraged.
Deep cleaning and sanitizing: Our
coaches undergo a thorough deep clean/sanitize after every
departure, including the use of hospital-grade cleaning
materials and disinfecting fogging machines.
Embarking/disembarking procedures: Due to social distancing, drivers are not permitted to assist passengers in boarding or disembarking the coach. When possible, passengers are encouraged to handle their own luggage to reduce touch points.
Vaccine Policy
The very best way we can ensure safety for all is to require that all passengers on our tours be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (2 dose minimum). It will now be mandatory for all passengers travelling on our tours to have completed their full round of COVID-19 vaccinations a minimum of 14 days prior to departure.
Effective January 4, 2022, the use of the enhanced vaccine certificate with QR code will be required to board our coaches along with entry to any venue where vaccine certification is required. Proof of vaccination can be found here.
Did you know?
Unlike airplanes, motor coaches do not have recycled air in the
interior. Motor coaches fresh air
circulation systems provide a minimum of 6 fresh air
exchanges per hour, approximately once every 10 minutes.
*Please note the above information is current to the best practices available at the time. It will constantly be adapted as needed, to ensure that the highest standards of safety are being met.
**While we are taking all precautions to ensure safety, there is an inherent risk to being exposed to COVID 19 whenever we are in settings with other people. By travelling, you are accepting this risk and understand that Great Canadian Holidays and Coaches cannot be responsible for any COVID-19 exposure that you may encounter during your tour, whether onboard the motorcoach or at any of the venues or locations visited.
