Extended COVID-19 Coverage From Club Med

Club Med is extending its Emergency Medical Assistance program, including COVID-19 coverage, for all worldwide bookings taking place through Dec. 31, 2022.

The extension covers COVID-19 medical expenses applicable for both individual and groups bookings, offered without any additional cost to travellers; with coverage of up to 75,000 euros.

Underwritten through Europ Assistance, the assistance program provides all guests travelling before Dec. 31, 2022 with coverage for emergency medical expenses during their stay, including those related to COVID-19:

• Medical expenses abroad (up to €75,000 incl. tax / person)
• Advance on hospitalization costs incurred abroad (up to €75,000 incl. tax per beneficiary)
• The cost of an extended stay at the resort, if required by local health authorities
• Medical evacuation and repatriation following accident and/or illness

Club Med has also expanded its Flexible Cancellation Policy.  Canadians can book a stay, and if travel plans change, guests can cancel their stay up to 31 days prior to departure and get a full refund on air-inclusive packages. This applies for stays on and prior to Dec. 16, 2021.

Across resorts globally, Club Med has implemented reinforced health and hygiene protocols to ensure all guests can enjoy a stay with complete peace of mind, through its Safe Together program.

These include protective face coverings for staff, hand sanitizer available throughout the resort, deep cleaning and frequent sanitizing of surfaces and facilities, social distancing, capped resort capacity, temperature checks on arrival and periodically during the stay, doctor or nursing staff available 24/7 in the resort.

And although current border restrictions may limit travel, Club Med says that now is still the best time to book a future Club Med escape at the best rate guaranteed. The Exclusive Winter Pre-Sale gives Canadians early access to book the best dates (including Christmas 2021, New Year’s Eve 2022 and Easter 2022) and the best rooms for their next getaway.

Plus, early bookers can receive up to 50% off vacation packages. Canadians can take advantage of this offer by booking before March 25, 2021 for trips between Nov. 6, 2021 and July 1, 2022.

Canadians can book a vacation at any of the following resorts:

• Club Med Punta Cana, Dominican Republic:  A destination that will delight those of all ages. Children and families will be happy to enjoy Club Med CREACTIVE by Cirque du Soleil, an acrobatic and artistic playground, while adults can discover the Zen Oasis zone: a haven for adults, ideal for relaxation.
