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)
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.
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.
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. The specific coverage and services available under the CPP Platinum Plan are specified in the following Schedule of Coverages and Services.
(+) $20,000 limitation is not applicable to the World Cruise.
To purchase the CPP Platinum Plan, you must include the cost of this plan in your initial trip deposit. The payment is non-refundable. No coverage is in force unless payment has been made for this plan.
The Trip Cancellation coverage becomes effective 24 hours prior to your scheduled cruise, tour or cruise/tour departure time. Other benefits and help services begin at 12:01 AM on the day you start your trip.
Coverage is only for Cruise/Tours (certain Alaska and Hawaii products only) booked through Holland America Line, Cruises booked through Holland America Line or Windstar Cruises, and Tours booked through Gray Line of Alaska or Gray Line of Seattle. Coverage does not include hotels, air or ground transportation before or after your Cruise, Cruise/Tour or Tour (including Company's Home City Air program) or any other optional programs, whether or not purchased through Company.
NOTE: The booking for this trip must be the first and only booking for this travel period and destination.

POLICY NUMBER: HTP04195
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.
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.

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.
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.

We strongly recommend the purchase of a vacation protection program. For your convenience, Princess offers Princess Vacation Protection (formerly Princess Travel Care) as well as enhanced coverage - Princess Travel Care Gold for voyages prior to the Summer of 2009 and Princess Vacation Protection Platinum commencing with Summer 2009 cruises. These plans provide what is perhaps the most attractive combination of protection and flexibility available in cruising today.
Princess Vacation Protection includes Trip Cancellation and Interruption Protection, which provides up to full reimbursement for the otherwise non-refundable cancellation fees if you must cancel or curtail your trip due to eligible medical conditions or other specified causes affecting you, your immediate family members or your traveling companions.
Princess' vacation protection programs offer unique flexibility that many other programs lack. If you have to cancel your cruise for an ineligible reason - any reason at all - you'll receive from Princess Cruises a future cruise credit equal to 75% of the normally otherwise non-refundable cancellation fees.
If you plan to sail with Princess prior to the summer of 2009, you can elect to upgrade to Princess Travel Care Gold for an additional $50. Doing so increases the credit value to 90%.
Starting with voyages departing in summer 2009, Princess is pleased to introduce Princess Platinum Vacation Protection for an additional 4% of cruise fare (12% of cruise fare). Our Platinum Plan provides a future cruise credit value of 100% of the normally non-refundable charges if you must cancel for a reason that is not eligible for 100% cash reimbursement.
And, upgrading to Princess' new Platinum Vacation Protection plan (or Travel Care Gold for voyages prior to the summer of 2009) will also double coverage for medical expenses, lost baggage and emergency medical evacuation.
For those passengers who have purchased Princess Vacation Protection, please refer to the Plan Description that is enclosed in your pre-cruise package for more information or contact the Princess Vacation Protection desk at BerkelyCare the independent administrator of Princess Vacation Protection at 877-846-8833.The insurance portion of Princess Vacation Protection is underwritten by Virginia Surety Company, Inc. (Policy Number HTP04192)
Special note: Princess Vacation Protection must be purchased before or at time of final payment.
