Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (1 July 2026) – Travellers to the Cayman Islands can fully enjoy rest and relaxation on their vaCay with the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism’s “Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee.” As the only destination-wide assurance of its kind in the Caribbean, this risk-free promise offers unparalleled peace of mind to visitors heading to the region this season.
With an unpredictable storm season ahead, travellers are looking to make smart decisions when booking their vacations. This specialty promise, made by on-island accommodation partners, covers cancellations due to a Cayman Islands Government issued hurricane watch as well as compensation if a vaCay is cut short due to inclement weather. Making the Cayman Islands the smart choice for travel this summer and fall.
The goal of the guarantee is to put visitors’ minds at ease knowing they can book a vaCay to the Cayman Islands with total confidence that their travel investment is protected. The Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee includes a refund of fees or generous re-booking window at participating hotels, villas and condominiums across all three islands.
The guarantee ensures at most, a one-night maximum penalty for cancellations made up to 48 hours prior to check-in once government officials issue a hurricane watch. Additionally, many on-island partners are offering a free replacement stay throughout the summer months, allowing guests to rebook their visit for the same duration as their previously booked stay.
“We refuse to let inclement weather hinder our guests from planning the vaCay of their dreams,” said Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism. “Our annual Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee allows our visitors to focus on the exciting part of travel, deciding what they are going to see, eat, and do in the Cayman Islands, and not have to stress as they know their investment is protected.”
The 2026 Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee is available exclusively through participating hotels, condos and resorts across Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
