Protection Plans
Do You Offer A Cancellation Protection Plan?
A Small Price for Peace of Mind
Holland America's Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP) is designed to protect your vacation investment from loss-no matter what. And like other plans that protect things of great value, it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. Be it illness, family matters, unforeseen work events-anything, CPP is your assurance that your vacation can be cancelled before you leave for any reason for a refund. To add our Cancellation Protection Plan to your new or existing cruise booking, please call us at 1-877-932-4259.
Four reasons to choose the Holland America Line Cancellation Protection Plan:
- YOU CAN CANCEL BEFORE DEPARTURE FOR ANY REASON. Even if it's up to 24 hours before departure under our Standard Plan or right up to departure with our Platinum Plan. For any reason whatsoever, your reservation may be cancelled with ease.
- YOU GET MONEY BACK. Only Holland America Line refunds 80-90% of eligible amounts paid, regardless of your reason for canceling, as long as you cancel more than 24 hours prior to departure (right up to departure with the Platinum Plan).
- SAME PRICE FOR ALL AGES. We offer the same excellent protection for everyone, at the same cost.
- NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. Our Standard and Platinum Plans do not contain pre-existing condition exclusions.
