Love this Forum and the thoughtful responses and information we get from fellow travelers. We've signed up for a 2027 RS tour, our 7th, paid our deposit and we are wondering how soon or when is the best time to obtain travel insurance. We are both in our 70's but in good health and daily walkers. This trip includes our daughter, son-in law and two grandchildren. We are paying for the tour but not for their plane accommodations. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I would get it within the pre existing condition waiver window. Even if you don’t have any, these days you never know when a weather event, conflict, etc will become a known event and thus won’t be covered by travel insurance if you purchase after that.

The best time to buy travel insurance is within about two weeks of the first paid deposit. Many policies will only cover preexisting conditions this way.
Have a great time!
