Travel Protection
Travel Protection is highly recommended, especially due to the cancellation policies of Rocky Mountaineer. It is worth looking at Cancel for Any Reason Policies. Also, Many US health insurance, including medicare does not cover out of the country. Many policies do not cover pre-existing medical if it is not purchased within a certain time after your trip is deposited.
You can just insure the deposit amount on the trip and then add trip value when paying in full (policy price will increase at that time)
