We know that most of you are eager to travel again and have been dreaming about the day when you can finally step on a plane with your ensemble and explore new places. We also know that you want to protect your investment and feel confident about your next trip. With Encore’s new Worry-Free Guarantee, you can perfectly balance these two priorities. What if we told you that you could book a tour today with no risk? It’s really that simple! For groups traveling before April 30, 2022, participants interested in enrolling in a 2022 trip can register with a $200 deposit, and if either directors or participants need to cancel their tour for any reason before November 1, 2021, we will refund 100% of the money paid to Encore. For groups traveling on May 1, 2022 or later, travelers can cancel their tour for any reason before December 1, and we will refund 100% of the money paid to Encore. We recognize that travelers who have stuck with us as their trips have been postponed represent a uniquely committed group; and our Worry-Free Guarantee was thoughtfully designed to ensure that enough participants enroll on these rescheduled trips so they can run as planned. For participants who have moved onto a 2022 trip from an earlier scheduled tour, any additional payments that rescheduled participants make between now and either November 1 or December 1 (depending on your departure date) are entirely risk-free. Are you waiting a bit longer to start traveling again? That’s not a problem, as we have made it easier than ever to register for a 2023 Encore performance tour! Anyone signing up for a new 2023 tour will enjoy peace of mind with risk-free payments until June 1, 2022. All participants who would like additional cancellation coverage after that date may choose to upgrade to our Ultimate-Plus Protection plan which provides the ability to cancel for any reason and receive a full refund. Providing travelers with increased flexibility is imperative during these uncertain times, so participants that want to spread out their payments over time can also enroll in an automatic payments plan to ensure that managing your trip budget is easy and convenient. We want you to feel confident in scheduling your next trip and, with our new Worry-Free Guarantee, it’s safe and easy to start planning again. Whether you’re traveling to Amsterdam or Zurich, we’ve got you covered. Taking your music program to new places is our mission, and our new set of incentives make it simpler than ever to plan your next tour! Note: Protection plan premiums and cancellation fees for rolled groups are non-refundable. Are you interested in organizing a performance tour with Encore?
