TOGETHER WITH FAYE
Travel Insurance Built to Help Things Go Right
If there’s one thing that’s certain about travel it’s that sh*t happens. From lost baggage, and trip cancellations, to ski accidents there are so many unexpected things that can go wrong.
Luckily, Faye provides peace of mind when you are far from home.
What sets Faye apart from typical travel insurance?
Unlike typical travel insurance companies that are notorious for making filing a claim a nightmare, with Faye, you can file a claim in-app and receive reimbursements quickly.
We also love that they have a 24/7 customer support team (of real humans).
So, are you ready to make your next trip less stressful? Answer a few simple questions and Faye will provide you with a custom quote in under a minute.
ADVENTURE CRUISES

Step on board M/V Ortelius and set course for a recently discovered Emperor penguin colony in the Weddell Sea.
Emperors are the largest and least common penguin species in the world, making this journey extra special.
The Weddell Sea is a remote ocean in Antarctica is nearly always covered in sea ice. These ice shelves make huge tabular icebergs that are incredible to see.
It’s not uncommon to see large numbers of Orcas, Humpbacks, Minke Whales, Leopard, Weddell, and Crabeater Seals.
The M/V Ortelius is equipped with helicopters, which are a true trip changer as they allow access where zodiacs can’t reach. Some possible flights include the west slopes of the Antarctic Sound where layered sandstones, lava flows, and glaciers can be found as well as Duse Bay and Seymour Island.
