Travel Insurance

Whereas PAC is not an insurance company, you may purchase trip insurance for the value of your trip at third-party site if you would like. We often use Travel Insured, who can quote your insurance price and coverage online based on the value of your trip. Travel Insurance, if desired, can be secured directly through them, or your preferred vendor.

Coverage and regulations have changed quite a bit in the Covid era, so please, read your coverage documents carefully! PAC does not issue trip insurance directly for adult groups, such as this one.

Pricing on this site is per person. If three of you are traveling and sharing a room, select a triple room and chose three travelers. If two of you are sharing a room, select two travelers and a double room. Pricing is not per room, it is per person. Thank you!

As we get closer to the parade date, PAC will add several optional Broadway shows and NYC Tours for you to choose from for your time in New York City! You'll be able to view and reserve these experiences, right here!

If you are paying for your family member or roommate with your reservation account, there is no need to do anything special at registration. 

If your roommate is paying separately under their own account, be sure to add their name and email address when asked at checkout (important) so that we can match you up with them on the hotel rooming list. 

As example, if you have two roommates staying with you in a triple room, you will pay for one traveler in a triple room (not three), and list both of your roommate names and email addresses at registration. If by chance they decide not to come however, you will be charged for a double or single room as appropriate.
