Does Itrek wanderer cover cruise holidays?
Hi Doris,
Thanks for getting in touch.

Thanks for your reply.
So in that case the “Pioneer” option with itrek does not cover snow sports?
Hi Myriam,
Sorry for the delayed response. It appears that itrek cover skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing, ice skating, cat skiing, cross country skiing, off-piste skiing-with professional guide, ski bobbing, sleigh riding and tobogganing.
