Federal law requires all tour guests wear a mask covering the nose and mouth while onboard our buses. You are expected to bring your own mask to wear while on the motorcoach and inside any attractions, restaurants or hotels (except for your hotel room) where required.

The Driver and Tour Director are required to wear a mask onboard the motorcoach as well as in public areas throughout the trip.

We recommend that tour guests bring their own personal protective equipment that they are most comfortable using. If needed, we will have extra masks on hand for our guests. Hand sanitizer will be available in the front and rear of the motorcoach at all times. We encourage you to bring additional hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol for use throughout the trip.

As regulations and requirements continue to change by state and by country, it is difficult for us to say with certainty what guidelines or requirements local public health authorities will put in place. We are constantly monitoring situations across the country, but you can expect to fill out a wellness declaration prior to travel.

You can rest assured that we will adhere to local laws and best practices in order to protect our guests’ well-being and ensure an enjoyable experience. We will notify you of necessary requirements for your destination and keep our website updated with the latest information.

At this time, Starr does not require guests to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test or Vaccine prior to traveling. Starr is following the recommendations of medical experts such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and other appropriate government agencies and associations. Face coverings, physical distancing, and frequent hand washing are the critical components to mitigating the risk of spreading COVID-19.

Starr is confident that we can provide an experience that best meets the planned itinerary and safeguards our guests’ well-being as best as possible. This new (and temporary) way of living and operating has affected every partner we work with. We are all learning how to best operate in a new way. Travel is an adventure – even during the best of times your itinerary may change depending on local events and conditions – and the adventure is part of the fun.

Guests should expect that certain attractions may remain closed, are operating but not yet open to the public, or are limiting services, hours, etc. Depending on local conditions, these changes may happen quickly and on a daily basis. We want to ensure every guest has a great time on tour, and that everyone’s health and well-being always comes first.

Any departure may have up to 50 seats occupied. Tour Guests traveling alone will likely not have anyone seated next to them. Seat assignments may be adjusted to allow for optimum spacing between groups of tour guests. Once you take your seat, this will be your seat throughout the trip. Read about our air filtration system on our Clean Care page.

Starr is working with local partners to help ensure that appropriate physical distancing can be maintained when possible. As is typical already at some attractions, guests may be rotated in smaller sub-groups to ensure proper physical distancing and a quality experience.

Policies and procedures at each restaurant will vary based on different/changing guidelines by local and state authorities. Starr tour guests will be seated together – in small groups or large groups. We will do our best to seat guests not traveling together with extra spacing when possible. At many establishments, masks may be required when not seated at the table.

Policies and procedures at each theater will vary based on different/changing guidelines by local and state authorities. Starr tour guests may be seated in small groups or large groups. We will do our best to seat guests not traveling together with extra spacing when possible. Masks are required to be worn during productions.

To help make your trip as safe and enjoyable as possible, we have developed these guidelines.

Snack and drinks (please bring your own) are allowed onboard the bus. Masks must be worn between sips and bites when you are eating or drinking.

The onboard lavatory will be available for emergency use only; we will make a comfort stop every 2-3 hours.

Please alert your Tour Director or Driver immediately.

The motorcoach will be thoroughly disinfected prior to your trip’s departure and the driver will carry additional cleaning supplies to wipe down high touch surfaces throughout your trip. We encourage you to bring additional cleaning wipes if you would like to supplement the cleaning of your personal area. We encourage you to learn more about our commitment to Clean Care.
