Maybe it’s a special anniversary, or maybe it’s your honeymoon. Or perhaps you and your partner just want to plan a romantic, “bucket-list” vacation together.

  • Things are complicated.
  • Things can – and will – change.

As the pandemic continues to evolve and change, so has travel, as destinations, tour operators, resorts and hotels, airlines, theme parks, and cruise lines all work to find the right balance between staying operational, providing memorable travel experiences for their guests, and keeping everyone – both guests and employees – safe.

It’s a complicated and challenging scenario, and as the situation with the pandemic has changed, guidelines and protocols have adjusted. In some cases, many times. Read more
