Cruise Travel Protection

Azamara Cruises

CruiseCare Vacation Protection
We want your cruise with Azamara to be nothing less than outstanding. So to make sure you have nothing to think about except having a good time, Azamara offers the CruiseCare package of benefits:

With the CruiseCare Cancellation Penalty Waiver, if your plans go awry and you cancel - or interrupt - your cruise vacation (for specified reasons), Azamara Cruises will waive the non-refundable cancellation provision of your cruise ticket contract and pay you IN CASH the value of the unused portion of your prepaid cruise vacation.

In addition, should you or your traveling companion need to cancel for "any other reason", you may be eligible for CRUISE CREDITS - up to 75% of the non-refundable, prepaid cruise vacation cost.

Guests must cancel their cruise prior to departure and must request a refund through the program administrator to be eligible for cash reimbursement or future cruise credits, as applicable. Credits expire one year after the issue date, are nontransferable, and are not applicable to holiday or inaugural sailings. Credits have no cash value and, if applied to a booking of lesser value, will not result a cash refund of any difference. Credits may not be used for deposits, only final payment, and can be used only on the cruise brand originally booked. Only original copies of credit letters will be accepted; copies or altered letters may not be used.

CruiseCare Travel Insurance provides cancellation and interruption protection for independently booked air, as well as coverages to protect you during your covered Trip, as follows:

Trip Cancellation for Independently Booked Air
Up to Total Original Airfare Cost.

Trip Interruption for Independently Booked Air

Up to 150% of Total Original Airfare Cost.

Trip Delay up to $500
If you miss the departure of your trip due to carrier-caused delays or other covered reasons, the plan reimburses you for additional accommodations, meals and "catch-up" transportation expenses.

Baggage Protection
If your baggage or personal property is lost, stolen, or damaged, the plan will cover up to $1,500. If your bags are delayed or misdirected for more than 24 hours, the plan will reimburse you up to $500 for the purchase of necessary personal items.

Medical Expenses up to $10,000
Should you become injured or sick during your vacation, the plan will reimburse you for necessary medical expenses for up to one year from the date of your accident or illness.

Emergency Evacuation up to $25,000
In the event that a covered illness or injury requires air or ground transportation to a specialized facility or to return home, the plan provides for covered medical services and supplies (coordinated by Azamara's 24-hour Assistance provider, to help ensure your safe transport).

Carnival wants you to have the best vacation ever, with nothing to think about except how much FUN you're going to have. That's why they created Carnival's Cruise Vacation Protection Plan, starting from prices as low as $49. Carnival's Cruise Vacation Protection Plan provides you with peace of mind because unfortunately, the unexpected does sometimes occur.

Carnival's Cruise Vacation Protection Plan is a package of travel protection and emergency assistance services designed to meet the particular needs of their guests. In the event that you must cancel or interrupt your trip because of job loss, a severe weather warning/watch en route to, or at, your port of embarkation, or you, a traveling companion or one of either of your immediate family members becomes unexpectedly ill or injured, Carnival will refund you in cash for your otherwise non-refundable cancellation charges, or for the unused portion of your trip should it be interrupted for certain specified reasons as outlined in the Plan Description.

In addition, the plan covers minor inconveniences like lost or delayed baggage, as well as more serious problems such as an unexpected illness or injury requiring emergency evacuation to your home. More importantly, included in the price of the plan is access to a 24-hour traveler's emergency assistance hotline.

Celebrity Cruises
So to make sure you have nothing to think about except having a good time, Celebrity offers the CruiseCare package of benefits:

With the CruiseCare Cancellation Penalty Waiver, if your plans go awry and you cancel - or interrupt - your cruise vacation (for specified reasons), Celebrity Cruises will waive the non-refundable cancellation provision of your cruise ticket contract and pay you IN CASH the value of the unused portion of your prepaid cruise vacation.

In addition, should you or your traveling companion need to cancel for 'any other reason', you may be eligible for CRUISE CREDITS - up to 75% of the non-refundable, prepaid cruise vacation cost.

Guests must cancel their cruise prior to departure and must request a refund through the program administrator to be eligible for cash reimbursement or future cruise credits, as applicable. Credits expire one year after the issue date, are nontransferable, and are not applicable to holiday or inaugural sailings. Credits have no cash value and, if applied to a booking of lesser value, will not result a cash refund of any difference. Credits may not be used for deposits, only final payment, and can be used only on the cruise brand originally booked. Only original copies of credit letters will be accepted; copies or altered letters may not be used.

Brought to you by Celebrity Cruises.

*Prices subject to change. For cruise costs greater than $5,000 per person, prices begin at $369 per person.

Note: The plan cost is fully refundable if you are canceling outside of Celebrity Cruise's published penalty period. Prices are subject to change without notice. The plan cost may be paid at any time from deposit up to and including final payment; however, the CruiseCare Cancellation and Interruption Penalty Waiver takes effect only upon payment of the plan cost in addition to any required cruise deposit.

Trip Interruption for Independently Booked Air
Up to 150% of Total Original Airfare Cost.

Trip Delay up to $500

Medical Expenses up to $10,000

PART B: MEDICAL PROTECTION
EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND REPATRIATION OF REMAINS
The Insurer will pay benefits for Covered Expenses if an Injury or
Sickness commencing during the course of the Trip results in Your
necessary Emergency Evacuation. An Emergency Evacuation must be
ordered by a legally licensed Physician who certifies that the severity of
Your Injury or Sickness warrants an Emergency Evacuation. Emergency
Evacuations must be verified, approved, and arranged in advance by On
Call International. The Insurer will also pay the reasonable Covered
Expenses incurred to return Your body to Your point of origin if You die
during the Trip. Covered Expenses include, but are not limited to,
expenses for embalming, cremation, coffin for repatriation, and
Transportation. The Insurer will not cover any expenses provided by
another party at no cost to You or already included in the cost of the
Trip.

Emergency Evacuation means:
a) Your medical condition warrants immediate Transportation from the
place where You are injured or sick to the nearest hospital where
appropriate medical treatment can be obtained; and/or
b) after being treated at a local hospital, Your medical condition
warrants Transportation to Your origination point to obtain further
medical treatment or to recover.
Covered Expenses are customary and reasonable expenses, up to
$50,000, for Transportation, medical services, and medical supplies
necessarily incurred in connection with Your Emergency Evacuation.
Expenses for medical services and supplies must be recommended by
the attending Physician. All Transportation arrangements made for Your
evacuation must be by the most direct and economical route possible.
Expenses for Special Transportation must be:
a) recommended by the attending Physician;
b) required by the standard regulations of the conveyance transporting
You; AND
c) verified, approved, and arranged in advance by On Call International.
Transportation means any land, water, or air conveyance required to
transport You during an Emergency Evacuation. Special Transportation
includes, but is not limited to, air ambulances, land ambulances, and
private motor vehicles.
Additional Covered Expenses: If You are hospitalized for more than
seven (7) days following a covered Emergency Evacuation, the Insurer
will pay: (a) to return Your accompanying dependent children under 25
to their home, limited to the cost of one-way economy airfare, less the
value of applied credit from an unused return travel ticket, with an
attendant if necessary; and/or (b) up to the cost of round-trip economy
airfare to bring a person chosen by You to and from Your bedside if You
are traveling alone. These expenses must be authorized in advance by
On Call International.
The Insurer will not cover any expenses provided by another party at no
cost to You or already included in the cost of the Trip.

PLEASE NOTE: In no event will Covered Expenses for Emergency
Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains exceed $50,000.
ACCIDENT and SICKNESS MEDICAL EXPENSE
The Insurer will pay benefits, up to $20,000, if You incur necessary
Covered Medical or Dental Expenses as a result of an Injury, or up to
$20,000 if You incur necessary Covered Medical or Dental Expenses as
a result of Sickness. The accident causing such Injury must occur while
You are covered under the policy, and the Sickness must first manifest
itself during Your Trip. You must receive initial treatment within ninety
(90) days of the accident which caused the Injury or the onset of the
Sickness. All services, supplies, or treatment must be received within
52 weeks of the date of the accident or the onset of the Sickness. Only
dental expenses incurred during Your Trip are covered.
Covered Medical or Dental Expenses are necessary services and
supplies which are recommended by the attending Physician. They
include the services of a legally qualified Physician, surgeon, graduate
nurse, dentist, or osteopath; charges for hospital confinement and use
of operating rooms; charges for anesthetics (including administration);
x-ray examinations or treatments and laboratory tests; ambulance
service; drugs, medicines, and therapeutic services and supplies. The
Insurer will not pay benefits in excess of the reasonable and customary
charges commonly used by providers of medical care in the locality in
which the care is furnished.

EXCESS COVERAGE PROVISION

Cancellation Policy and Cancellation Protection Plans

Holland America, Windstar Cruises, Gray Line of Alaska and Gray Line of Seattle (each referred to as 'Company') offer passengers the opportunity to purchase either their Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Standard Plan) or their Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Platinum Plan). Both of these plans are optional and must be paid for at time of deposit. Payments are not refundable. The CPP Platinum Plan is only available for U.S. residents.

Please refer to your cruise or tour confirmation for verification of whether you purchased either of these plans. The remaining text on this cover panel only applies if you purchased the CPP Platinum Plan.

GROUP PLAN CODE 1308-I - CPP Platinum Plan (As of 10/1/2003)

Name_______________________________ Booking # __________________

No coverage for the CPP Platinum Plan is in force unless payment has been made for this plan. When Company receives your payment for this plan, this brochure becomes your Certificate of Insurance and Description of Services.

IMPORTANT: If you purchased the CPP Platinum Plan, keep this document and carry a copy with you when you travel. If you need to cancel your trip, contact your travel agent or Holland America Line Inc., Windstar Cruises, Gray Line of Alaska or Gray Line of Seattle (as appropriate), immediately to cancel your reservation.

This plan is administered by CSA Insurance Services.

CANCELLATIONS POLICY

Company's Cancellations Policy for the cruise or tour you have selected is described in the applicable cruise line or tour brochure. In most cases, this policy permits a full refund of amounts received by Company (except for amounts you paid for the CPP Standard Plan or CPP Platinum Plan) if written cancellation is received by Company at least 76 days (91 days for Windstar and 61 days for Gray Line of Alaska and Gray Line of Seattle) prior to the date you are to commence travel by any means of transportation (air, sea or ground) booked through Company. Longer notice is required for certain cruises or tours. In most cases, a partial refund will be provided for later cancellations up to a certain number of days prior to commencing travel, after which no refund will be made. The brochure specifies the exact cancellation deadlines and refund amounts.

Cancellation fees apply regardless of the reason for cancellation, including medical and family matters. Given that the resale of cancelled space will likely result in a lost opportunity to sell other space, cancellation fees are due regardless of resale.

To be effective, written cancellation must be actually received by Company's Seattle, Washington office prior to the applicable deadline. For Holland America Line and Windstar Cruises, the address to use is Reservations Control, Holland America Line Inc., 300 Elliott Ave. West, Seattle, WA 98119; cancellations may also be faxed to 1-800-628-4855. For Gray Line of Alaska and Gray Line of Seattle, the address to use is: Reservations Supervisor, Gray Line of Seattle and Gray Line of Alaska, 300 Elliott Ave. West, Seattle, WA 98119; cancellations may also be faxed to 1-206-301-5282. Please retain your fax confirmation.

Refunds will be processed on the basis of the net payment actually received and retained by Company from your travel agent, excluding the amount paid for the CPP Standard Plan or CPP Platinum Plan. This exclusion applies even if cancellation occurs at a time when no cancellation fee would otherwise be payable. The net payment received and retained by Company would not include any amounts kept by, or paid to, the travel agent as commission, or amounts otherwise not paid by the travel agent to Company. Refunds will normally be made to your travel agent. You are responsible for obtaining from your travel agent monies either retained by your travel agent or received by your travel agent from Company.

Airplane tickets issued by Company must be returned before the fare will be refunded. Cruise contracts and contracts of carriage are non-transferable. Name changes (if allowed) and departure date changes are considered cancellations and are subject to cancellation fees.

CANCELLATION PROTECTION PLANS

Holland America Line, Windstar Cruises, Gray Line of Alaska and Gray Line of Seattle each offer passengers the opportunity to purchase either its Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Standard Plan) or its Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Platinum Plan). Both of these plans are optional and must be paid for at time of deposit. Payments are not refundable. The CPP Platinum Plan is only available for U.S. residents.

CPP STANDARD PLAN: Our CPP Standard Plan allows you, for any reason, to provide written cancellation up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise, tour or cruisetour departure and receive a cash refund equal to 80 percent of the applicable cancellation fee (90 percent if you purchased HAL CPP Platinum Plan). In addition, Company automatically assumes an additional $500 of liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage of passengers who purchase the CPP Standard Plan still subject, however to the limitations in HAL's baggage policies. For example, HAL does not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines. Our baggage policies are explained in detail in HAL's brochure and Cruise Contract or, as to Gray Line of Alaska and Gray Line of Seattle, HAL's Contract of Carriage.

The CPP Standard Plan is not insurance; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple-quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption.

CPP PLATINUM PLAN: Our CPP Platinum Plan enables you to supplement the CPP Standard Plan with insurance coverage underwritten by Monumental General Casualty Company (all states except as otherwise noted) under Policy Form # TAHC2000GPC; Certificate #TAHC2000GCC, or Stonebridge Casualty Insurance Company (AL, AZ, CO, DE, ID, MN, NJ, NM, NY, ND, PA, and VT) under Policy Form # TAHC5000GPS, Certificate # AHC5000GCS. The CPP Platinum Plan also includes various travel assistance services arranged by CSA Insurance Services. Neither CSA nor the insurers are affiliated with Company.

Cancellation Policy and Cancellation Protection Plans

Both of these plans are optional and must be paid for at time of deposit. Payments are not refundable. The CPP Platinum Plan is only available for U.S. and Canadian residents.

Please refer to your cruise or cruisetour confirmation for verification of whether you purchased either of these plans. The remaining text on this cover panel only applies if you purchased the CPP Platinum Plan.

POLICY NUMBER: HTP04195

Name_______________________________ Booking # __________________

This program is effective when the appropriate plan cost has been received by Holland America Line. This document then becomes your Certificate of Insurance and Description of Services.

Important: If you purchased the CPP Platinum Plan, keep this document and carry a copy with you when you travel. If you need to cancel your trip, contact your travel agent or Holland America Line immediately to cancel your reservation.

This Plan is administered by BerkelyCare, a division of Affinity Insurance Services, Inc., in all states except: AIS Affinity Insurance Agency, Inc. in CA/MN/OK; and AIS Affinity Insurance Agency in NH and NY.

CANCELLATIONS POLICY

Holland America Line's Cancellation Policy for the cruise or cruisetour you have selected is described in the applicable cruise line brochure. In most cases, this policy permits a full refund of the amounts received by Holland America Line (except for amounts you paid for the CPP Standard Plan or CPP Platinum Plan) if written cancellation is received by Holland America Line at least 76 days prior to the date you are to commence travel by any mode of transportation (air, rail, sea or otherwise) booked through Holland America Line. Longer notice is required for certain cruises or cruisetours. In most cases, a partial refund will be provided for later cancellations up to a certain number of days prior to commencing travel, after which no refund will be made. The brochure specifies the exact cancellation deadlines and refund amounts.

Cancellation fees apply regardless of the reason for cancellation, including medical and family matters. Given that the resale of cancelled space will likely result in a lost opportunity to sell other space, cancellation fees are due regardless of resale.

To be effective, written cancellation must be actually received by Holland America Line's Seattle, Washington office prior to the applicable deadline. The address to use is: Reservations Control, Holland America Line Inc., 300 Elliott Avenue West, Seattle, WA 98119. Cancellations may also be faxed to 1-800-628-4855; please retain your fax confirmation.

Refunds will be processed on the basis of the net payment actually received and retained by Holland America Line from your travel agent, excluding the amount paid for the CPP Standard Plan or CPP Platinum Plan. This exclusion applies even if cancellation occurs at a time when no cancellation fee would otherwise be payable. The net payment received and retained by Holland America Line would not include any amounts kept by, or paid to, the travel agent as commission, or amounts otherwise not paid by the travel agent to Holland America Line. Refunds will normally be made to your travel agent. Travel agents may impose their own cancellation fees. You are responsible for obtaining from your travel agent monies either retained by your travel agent or received by your travel agent from Holland America Line.

Airplane tickets issued by Holland America Line must be returned before the fare will be refunded. Cruise and cruisetour contracts are non-transferable. Name changes (if allowed) and departure date changes are considered cancellations and are subject to cancellation fees.

CANCELLATION PROTECTION PLANS

Holland America Line offer passengers the opportunity to purchase either Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Standard) or the Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Platinum Plan). Both of these plans are optional and must be paid for at time of deposit. Payments are not refundable. The CPP Platinum Plan is only available for U.S. and Canadian residents.

CPP STANDARD PLAN: Our CPP Standard Plan allows you, for any reason, to provide written cancellation up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise or cruisetour departure and receive a cash refund equal to 80 percent of the eligible amounts paid (90 percent if you purchased HAL's CPP Platinum Plan). In addition, Holland America Line automatically assumes an additional $500 of liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage of passengers who purchase the CPP Standard Plan still subject, however, to the limitations in HAL's baggage policies. For example, HAL does not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines. Our baggage policies are explained in detail in HAL's brochure and Cruise and Cruisetour Contract.

The CPP Standard Plan is not insurance; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple-quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption.

CPP PLATINUM PLAN: Our CPP Platinum Plan enables you to supplement the CPP Standard Plan with insurance coverage underwritten by Virginia Surety Company, Inc. under Policy Number HTP04195. The CPP Platinum Plan also includes various travel assistance services arranged by BerkelyCare. Neither BerkelyCare nor the insurers are affiliated with Holland America Line. The specific coverage and services available under the CPP Platinum Plan are specified in the following Plan Description - Schedule of Benefits and Services.

True peace of mind. Now more than ever, discerning travelers want to know that they can trust their travel provider to ensure their comfort and safety and to accommodate their needs in any unforeseen circumstance. Our unique and affordable Reassurance Programme is an any reason cancellation waiver that provides full credit on a future voyage if you have to cancel within the critical 1-90 days prior to sailing, no matter what the reason.

North and South American Guests| International Guests

North and South American Guests

If you cancel your booking for any reason, you will receive a 100 percent Reassurance Cruise Credit*

* Subject to the terms and conditions below

Silversea's Reassurance Programme ensures peace of mind and maximum flexibility when planning your cruise. It can protect you from the penalties and anxieties of cancelling your cruise for any reason within 90 days of departure. Instead of losing 100 percent of the total charges paid for your Silversea cruise holiday (including air, pre- and/or post-cruise hotel programmes and land packages), you will receive a Reassurance Cruise Credit for any and all charges paid, regardless of why you choose to cancel.

The fee for the Reassurance Programme is 3 percent of each guest's Total Holiday Cost when purchased with a travel insurance product that contains trip cancellation benefits. Proof of your travel insurance coverage must be provided at the time of purchase of the Reassurance Programme. When purchased on its own (without travel insurance) the fee for the Reassurance Programme is 8 percent of each guest's Total Holiday Cost. The Total Holiday Cost includes, but is not limited to the cruise fare, any of Silversea's optional travel programmes, and transfers.

Terms and Conditions:

  • The optional Reassurance Programme is available on 2009 and 2010 voyages with the exception of Grand Pacific Voyages 3907 - 3912 and Grand Inaugural Voyages 5003 - 5009.
  • The optional Reassurance Programme must be added at the time of booking and must be paid for in full at the time of deposit.
  • The Reassurance fee is only refundable on bookings cancelled at least 91 days prior to departure.
  • The Reassurance Cruise Credit does not include the Reassurance Programme fee or the Silversea GuestCare plan cost, if applicable
  • Regardless of the reason, cancellations under the Reassurance Programme will only be accepted 1 - 90 days prior to cruise departure. In order to receive the Reassurance Cruise Credit, the booking must be paid in full at the time of cancellation and cancelled at least 24 hours prior to cruise departure. "No Shows" forfeit the 100 percent Reassurance Cruise Credit.
  • If a Reassurance Cruise Credit is elected from 90 to 15 days prior to cruise departure, a credit will be issued (no money will be refunded) in the amount of total charges paid regardless of the normal applicable penalty percentage at the time of cancellation.
  • Silversea's standard cancellation policy terms remain in effect for any bookings cancelled 91 or more days prior to departure.
  • The Reassurance Programme 100 percent Reassurance Cruise Credit is not combinable with any other cancellation payments made through Silversea GuestCare or another travel insurance provider.
  • The Reassurance Programme is not insurance and is provided separate from Silversea GuestCare. Guests insured under Silversea GuestCare or another travel insurance product and who have paid the 3 percent of Total Holiday Cost for the Reassurance Programme, must provide a copy of the denial letter received from their travel insurance provider in order to apply for the 100 percent Reassurance Cruise Credit.
  • The Reassurance Cruise Credit is valid for travel within 12 months from the date of the cancelled voyage and will be issued in accordance with the cancelled booking as either air/sea or cruise-only, and will be applied after any other savings incentives are applied (i.e. APB, EBI, Silver Sailings, and Venetian Society).

  • Standard terms according to the existing cancellation policy remain for any bookings cancelled 91 or more days prior to departure.
  • The Reassurance Programme 100 percent Reassurance Cruise Credit is not combinable with any other cancellation payments; programme or claims.

Windstar Cruises
Windstar Cruises offers passengers the opportunity to purchase either Windstars TICP Standard or TICP Plus Protection Plan. Both of these plans are optional and must be paid for at time of deposit. Payments are not refundable. The TICP Plus Plan is only available for U.S. and Canadian residents.

TICP Standard Plan:
Our Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (TICP Standard Plan) will allow you, for any reason, to provide written cancellation up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise or tour departure and receive a refund equal to 80% of the applicable cancellation fee (90% if you purchase Windstars TICP Plus Plan). In addition, Windstar automatically assumes an additional $500 of liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage of guests who purchase the TICP Standard Plan; still subject, however, to the limitations in Windstars baggage policies. For example, Windstar does not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines. The TICP Standard Plan is not insurance; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel, nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption.

TICP Plus Plan: Our Plus Cancellation Protection Plan (TICP Plus Plan) enables you to supplement the TICP Standard Plan with the insurance benefits and travel assistance services during your cruise or tour.
