If actual insurance coverage is desired for occurrences such as travel delay; lost, stolen or damaged luggage; medical and emergency medical transportation; supplier default; or related services, then it is strongly recommended that a traveler contact a travel insurance company. It is also recommended if a traveler desires a trip cancellation refund program not funded by Mayflower Cruises & Tours, that a travel insurance company be contacted.
