Please check out the website for the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) to see which tour operators have posted a one million dollar security in the form of a bond, letter of credit or U.S. treasury bond.

http://www.ustoa.com

The listing is under the Resources tab.

The USTOA created a consumer protection fund so that travelers can have peace of mind and a safety net in the event of a default or cessation of operations of one of the tour operators who have posted the one million security.

 

For me, if the river cruise company is not listed in the USTOA resource guide and I decide to still book a cruise with them, I will make sure that I obtain a 3rd party insurance policy that covers default/cessation of operations. There are travel insurance companies that will cover you if the tour operator is not one that is listed under their default listings.

My purpose in posting this information is simply to keep us better informed.
