Updated June 25, 2025

The U.S. Department of State recently issued a Worldwide Caution advisory, encouraging U.S. citizens to "exercise increased caution" when traveling, encouraging U.S. citizens to "exercise increased caution" when traveling internationally.
This language reflects a Level 2 advisory on the State Department’s four-tier risk scale and is consistent with the travel guidance already in place for many destinations around the world. It is not tied to a specific threat or incident in any one country.
At FTLO, the safety of our travelers is our top priority. We continue to closely monitor guidance from official government and international agencies. Should any changes arise that impact our itineraries, we will communicate directly with affected travelers.

If you have any questions about your upcoming trip, our team is always here to help.​
