It's a long time since I saw Hamlet so I could be missing something. But it just occurred to me...

How can Hamlet say that death is "the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns" when he has previously seen his father's ghost beckoning to him?

At least one traveller has returned to him (Hamlet)!

I believe that is answered in conversation about Yorick.
