TORONTO, Ontario, May 23, 2023 — With airlines announcing new flight routes, historical events and significant anniversaries taking place across the continent, Europe is looking closer, and more appealing, than ever this summer.  

To help travellers ensure a smooth trip, battleface's flexible travel insurance policies provide coverage for a range of activities in leading European destinations – sailing in the Greek islands, hiking through the Lake District, road trips that double as culinary adventures, and iconic city breaks. This all-new personalized travel insurance can be purchased prior to or after departure.  

Insurance coverage considerations for favourite summertime pastimes include:  
 
Sail off into the sunset amongst the Greek Islands  
Google Trends Canada Blog1 notes that Athens, Greece is the third most trending international destination amongst Canadians, and is a perfect launch pad for sailing off into the sunset.  

Travellers planning to venture out on a sailing or yachting expedition around the Greek Islands will want to consider purchasing battleface's comprehensive travel insurance policy which covers marine adventures within 20 kilometres of the coastline. Benefits include Medical Expenses and even Repatriation if deemed necessary so travellers can rest assured that they are covered against the unexpected.  

Royal madness and countryside escapes in the UK  
London, UK is always abuzz, but with this year's Coronation ceremony there's even more reason to visit the royal haunts. But for travellers who want to escape the city (and the crowds), the Coast to Coast trail connecting the Irish Sea to the North Sea is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. Stunning valleys and England's highest peak, spectacular waterfalls and abundant lakes make for picturesque vistas along a memorable trail. 

Before hitting the trails, travellers should consider battleface's comprehensive travel insurance policy including Trip Cancellation, Baggage Loss and Delay, Trip Interruption and Medical Expenses in the event of any medical emergencies while on the trails. Coverage kicks in as long as hikers and outdoor enthusiasts are within the height limit on the policy of 4500m/14,765ft, and all proper safety equipment is utilized. 

Opt for an alternative French destination on board Air Transat's direct flight to Marseille 
Sure Paris is the ultimate French destination, but this year there's so much to celebrate across the country. Hopping aboard Air Transat's direct flight from Montreal to Marseille means tantalizing tastebuds on the Vallée de la Gastronomie, a culinary trail highlighting Michelin chefs and regional cuisine and experiences between Marseille and Dijon.  

battleface's Personal Liability coverage provides peace of mind with up to $500,000 if, in the course of a trip, you become legally liable for accidental injury to a third person or damage to that person's property. Unexpected Medical and Emergency Expenses are also covered up to $5,000,000. 

Adventures in art nouveau in Brussels  
This year, Brussels is shining the spotlight on art nouveau in honour of Belgian architect Victor Horta's completion of Tassel House 130 years ago with year-long programming. And Air Canada is making an art-nouveau escape easier with its Toronto-Brussels route launching on June 1, 20232. 

Don't let an emergency disrupt your art nouveau meanders – with battleface coverage, travelers are covered for unexpected medical and emergency expenses up to $5,000,000 and personal liability up to $500,000.
