Re: Planning a trip with Voyageur?
I'm not a teacher but was doing an internet search on
Voyageur and bankruptcy. My niece's school decided to book
a trip through Voyageur and I decided I wanted to spend some
quality time with her and take a great trip. So...since
March 2008 more than 20 of us have been making
monthly/quarterly payments on a trip that costs over $3,000
per person (that's for a triple room). We were scheduled to
leave on June 22 (next month). Not more than 2 hours ago we
found out that the company was declaring bankruptcy. No
more trip. Part of the deal with the company was we would
all get travel insurance (which was paid for by every single
person). We have been told that for some reason or another,
the company did not purchase the travel insurance. No more
trip, no more $3,000. The kids at my niece's school range
from 15-18 years of age. For over a year, they have been
doing fundraising and working hard to raise money for this
trip so their families would not have to pay the entire
$3,000 on their own. I'm 32 years old and I'm devastated.
Can you imagine how these kids feel? These kids have been
crying all day. When I think of a reputable company and how
it treats it clients, this is not it. Period.
