Before you book

Common questions

Each pilgrimage page carries its own full detail on pricing, payments and what is included. These come up on all of them.

Is there Mass every day?+
Yes. Daily Mass is booked with each parish or shrine before you travel, and the group travels with a priest who celebrates it.
Can I book my own flights?+
You are always welcome to arrange your own flights. Booking your own airfare lets you spend miles, handpick your seats, upgrade directly with the airline, or deviate from the group. Select the land-only option at registration and we will send the arrival details you need to meet the group.
Can I arrive early or stay later?+
Absolutely. If you would like to arrive earlier or depart later than the group, or upgrade your airfare, email hello@canterburypilgrimages.com and we will price the deviation for you. Group flight schedules are sent digitally and by mail 30 days before departure.
What if a pilgrimage does not fill?+
Countless months go into organizing each pilgrimage, so we do our best never to cancel one. In the rare case we do, you may transfer to another trip or to new dates, or receive 100% of what you have paid back to your original payment method within 10 business days.
Is a pilgrimage the same as a tour?+
No. A pilgrimage is not a vacation or an excursion. It is a spiritual journey built around daily Mass, time at sacred sites, and Scripture brought to life. Millions have gone before you looking for a way to physically connect with their faith in Christ.
