All passengers are required to possess a passport valid for at least 6 months after the conclusion of their trip. You should always carry your passport and other travel documents in your hand luggage.

We highly recommend that you obtain comprehensive medical and travel insurance to cover your entire time away from home. Be sure to pack your policy in case you need to make a claim while travelling. It is also worth adding your insurance policy details and flight numbers to your Tour Personaliser, so all your important travel information is in one place.

Approximately three weeks before your tour you will receive all the documents required ahead of your trip via email, including any flights and hotel reservations made with Travelmarvel.

If you are bringing appliances from home, an adapter suitable for your destination countries’ socket and voltage will be needed.

If you have a food allergy or medical condition which needs to be managed on tour, please advise your Booking Agent before departure, and inform your Tour Director on arrival. It is also worth packing a small medical kit, as though there will be pharmacies along your tour, they can be difficult to access, and a prescription may be required for some medications.

Suggested Packing List:

• A general-purpose antibiotic (e.g. azithromycin)
• Cold and flu medication
• Your preferred pain medication
• Medicine for gastric upsets
• Band-Aids and blister pads

If you have a food allergy or another condition that needs to be managed on tour, please advise your booking agent as soon as possible, as well as your Tour Director upon arrival, as most suppliers require advance notice to accommodate this.

Each passenger is entitled to take one piece of luggage that does not exceed 20kg (44lbs) and 160cm when all dimensions are added together.

When packing, we recommend casual and comfortable clothing. Consider the season of the destination you are travelling to. More information on specific countries climate can be found in our extensive travel guides.

Some countries are very conservative, and you should dress accordingly. As a general guideline, shoulders and knees should be covered (for both men and women) when entering buildings of a religious nature and family homes. When entering temples and pagodas, shoes and socks may need to be removed. Smart casual clothing is acceptable when you dine at restaurants, or on board. Guests are not permitted to enter restaurants barefoot or wearing bathing attire.

Note that some prepaid traveller cards do not work in Asia, for that reason we recommend passengers bring a credit or debit card as a backup should this occur. We recommend carrying a small amount of local currency for markets, otherwise credit, debit or traveller cards are recommended. For more information on specific countries currencies, check our extensive travel hints, found at the bottom of the page.
