School sports tours for schools, clubs & universities

Welcome back to what must be a very strange new term for you.

Like you, we are adapting to an ever changing post-Covid world and living with much uncertainty. 

I want to reassure you that everyone at Club Europe is still here to support you in any way we can. As a family-run company, the buck stops with us; if your 2021/22 trip is affected in any way, we will do everything we can to find the outcome that works best for your parents, students and staff.

Our approach for 2021 remains the same as our approach for the 2020 bookings. If the FCO advice is such that travel to your destination is forbidden in the lead up to your trip, then we will offer you an option to defer or if that is not possible, a full cash refund. I want to stress that in 2020 we offered cash refunds to all our clients, where required. We did not issue credit refund notes, as they are neither helpful nor reassuring to our clients.

In the meantime, we are learning how to overcome the practical challenges posed by Covid-19 and working with the School Travel Forum (of which we are founder members) to develop a comprehensive Covid-19 standards safety document. Called ‘In Safe Hands’, this will outline the protocols needed to be put in place by schools and all STF tour providers to ensure pupils and teachers can travel with confidence when the time is right.

If you want to talk through anything with me or one of the team, email us at travel@club-europe.co.uk and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

Hoping you all stay safe and well,
