Your well-being is our top priority — now more than ever.
We are taking precautions to help protect the health and well-being of participants, while still providing an enriching and enjoyable experience. Here are some of the enhanced measures we are currently planning for your next Road Scholar learning adventure.
Prior to every program, participants must review and acknowledge our pre-program health screening checklist, which ensures you’re healthy to travel. When you arrive, we will conduct a verbal health screening check for any symptoms of illness.
Road Scholar Group Leaders are being trained in the latest health and safety protocols and will strive to promote a safe program experience.
Face coverings are a simple and effective way to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Participants must therefore bring their own face coverings to the program. You will be expected to wear a face covering indoors and outside when proper social distancing can’t be maintained or when required by our Group Leader. Some establishments we visit may require face coverings.
All motorcoaches and modes of transportation will be sanitized regularly, with all high-touch areas disinfected between each use. We’ll work closely with our restaurant and hotel partners to ensure they are following local sanitation guidelines and Road Scholar standards.
Washing hands and frequent use of hand sanitizer can’t be stressed enough. We ask that you bring hand sanitizer with you, and we will have hand sanitizer available as you enter and exit vehicles.
We’ll practice social distancing as much as possible, while still maintaining that special Road Scholar camaraderie and group spirit.
Your group may be separated into smaller groups for activities and meals to meet social distancing guidelines. On motorcoaches, we’ll be sure there are empty seats, so there is room to spread out.
We’re putting extra thought into improving your dining experience. Apart from following the local health guidelines, you’ll enjoy private dining and small groups as much as possible, as well as individually plated meals instead of buffet or family-style meals.
You’ll have your own personal listening device, which will enable you to listen to your instructor, while maintaining a safe social distance.
We have always included the Road Scholar Assurance Plan in the cost of your program, so you will have 24-hour assistance in the event of an emergency during your program and insurance for emergency medical evacuation.
We will do everything we can to care for you, but it is also up to you and your fellow participants to do your part in following all the necessary precautions.
Our Group Leaders are responsible for ensuring the welfare of the entire group and will make decisions with the best interests of the group in mind. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in following our Group Leaders’ guidance and instruction to make your program as enjoyable — and safe — as possible.
We are closely monitoring the vaccine administration and will follow the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control. Cruise lines, local government authorities and other entities may have their own policies, so we will do our best to keep Road Scholar participants informed of any health requirements before travelling.
You will need to bring several of your own face coverings. Hand sanitizer will be available for you to use when boarding and disembarking motorcoaches, but we ask you also bring your own supply.
No, we will not require you to submit a negative COVID-19 test result or any proof of health before joining the program.
Specific locations and entities, such as states, countries or cruise lines, may have their own requirements. Because official rules and guidance can change at any time, it is up to the participant to be aware of the rules of the destination they are travelling to. As always, Road Scholar expects participants only to attend programs if they are healthy and feeling well.
Should a participant become ill during a program, they should immediately notify the Group Leader, who will assist in obtaining medical attention. If a participant develops symptoms of illness such as a fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or experience any other signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or any other communicable illness, they will be required to immediately self-isolate and notify the Group Leader. The Group Leader will then contact a doctor to diagnose the illness and advise accordingly. Anyone who is sick or possibly contagious may be required to return home, both for their health and the welfare of the group. If a participant has a confirmed case of COVID-19, we will follow the guidance and requirements of the local governing board of health, which may include self-isolation or quarantine. If a program is cut short due to these requirements as a result of a confirmed case of COVID-19, all participants will receive a pro-rated credit towards a future Road Scholar program. Please note that we will assist in every way we can to ensure everyone receives the help and support they require; however, any expenses for testing, medical treatment, transportation or extended self-isolation would be covered by the individual and not Road Scholar.

Please note that these measures are subject to change at any time and may be different in certain areas due to local restrictions, or altered as new information about the virus becomes available.
