All travel or personal insurance policies (trip cancellation/interruption, emergency medical, baggage and other necessary policies)Synergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
