Travelers' Health
Some of the most common concerns clients have about traveling to our destinations include health-related questions regarding vaccination requirements, disease prevention, drinking water, and food safety. While Ker & Downey cannot prescribe medication or inoculations, we can recommend precautionary steps to help make your trip safe and enjoyable. We advise that all travelers seek medical advice, preferrably from a specialist in travel medicine, before travel and that they continue to seek advice during and after travel.
Below are links to the Centers for Disease Control Travelers' Health pages specific for the countries to which we offer travel. Please keep in mind that recommendations and requirements can change, sometimes on short notice.

From Our Clients
"We just returned from Egypt and had to let you know that the trip was fantastic beyond expectations. Your people watched over our every desire and interest from beginning to end.
The ship M/S Triton was the finest travel experience we have had, primarily for us because of the chef and his wonderful talent and joy in creating our meals. My plan had
originally been to lose a bit of weight on the trip...gladly delayed that goal till return to Palm Beach. If anything I suggest that you did not explain fully enough how much of a gourmet-joyous experience the ship is.
Egypt was impressive but your team made the trip just wonderful. The people of Egypt were among the most friendly we've encountered. We felt safe throughout, and in fact it appeared from the Europeans on the trip that safety is only an issue for misinformed Americans. We would even be happy to speak to prospective clients about our experience. A job well done! Special mention also
about our terrific guide Malak El Abd. Thank you."
