COVID-19 Vaccination:
  • After careful evaluation and consideration, we have made the thoughtful decision to require full COVID-19 vaccination (of approved brands AstraZeneca, Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), Moderna, Pfizer) of all travelers of Celtic Quilt Tours as a condition of travel with us. Our new COVID-19 vaccination policy is in line with the requirements of the majority of the international destinations we visit. This update was made to ensure safe travel and for the health and safety of all guests and staff. The change will also minimize any trip interruption that would have resulted from required COVID-19 testing for non-vaccinated guests. Our full health & safety on-trip requirements can be found on our website. A copy of your Covid-19 vacation card will be required.

  • In order to have the best experience from your travels with us, and to keep up with the group, a reasonable level of fitness is required. You will need to be able to walk at a gentle pace for a few hours each day; use combined shower/bath facilities (it is impossible to guarantee walk-in shower facilities at each hotel); navigate and manage using stairs, walking over cobblestones and other uneven surfaces; stand for long periods in museums and other sites; embark/disembark coaches, trains, and other methods of transportation without assistance; handle your own luggage.
