When you’re jet-setting across the globe on your dream vacation, the last thing you want to worry about is a travel emergency. Whether it's a natural disaster, civil unrest, or a lost passport, being prepared can make all the difference. That’s where the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) comes in.

What Is STEP?

The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is a free service provided by the U.S. Department of State. It allows U.S. citizens and nationals traveling or living abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Why Should You Enroll?

Whether you’re heading to a romantic escape in Paris, an all-inclusive Caribbean getaway, or an adventurous group tour through Southeast Asia, STEP offers peace of mind in more ways than one:

🔹 Receive Important Alerts Stay informed with up-to-date safety conditions in your destination country, so you can travel confidently and make informed decisions.

🔹 Easier Emergency Assistance In the event of a natural disaster, political unrest, or family emergency back home, STEP helps the U.S. Embassy contact you quickly — and helps loved ones reach you in an emergency.

🔹 Travel Smarter & Safer Enrolling demonstrates that you're a prepared and informed traveler. It’s one small step that can make a huge difference.

Who Should Enroll?

Everyone! Whether you're traveling solo, with your significant other, or as part of a group curated by JC Royalty Xcapes, this program is essential. It’s especially valuable for:

International travelers (vacation or business)
Students studying abroad
Families traveling together
Cruise travelers making multiple international port stops
