Accommodations

Our hotels were chosen for their location along our route and are the best available in each location. They are all four and five-star establishments.  Due to the size of our coach and the narrow streets, we will need to walk about 5 minutes carrying our own daypacks (carry-on bags) to and from our coach to two of these establishments.

While Traveling

Internet 

Most of our hotels have internet connections in the rooms and a business center. Rates and connection speed will vary.

Cell Phones

Contact your cell phone provider to find out how you can use your cell phone abroad. Charges will vary depending on the destination and your existing plan. Please note that many U.S. cell phone plans do not include international roaming, and charges can be quite high.

On-trip Assistance from Crisis24

Crisis 24 is our emergency assistance provider through our included insurance. They can provide advice and assistance before, during, and after your travels. We recommend you call them pre-trip if you’d like to discuss any specific health concerns in regards to your trip location.

In the event of an emergency (or if you need assistance) on the trip, your tour manager will do their best to assist, but here is the contact information for the 24-hour emergency line from Crisis24:

• Phone number: +1-443-716-2305

  • When calling or emailing, mention you are with the Stanford Travel/Study Group.

You can call Crisis24 for advice on whether you need medical attention, making an appointment, seeking care, etc. Crisis24 is also the assistance provider for any major emergencies, such as medical or security evacuations. In order for the Zurich included emergency medical coverage to be applied, Crisis24 must be contacted first for any evacuations or repatriations.
