CPP may help protect your cruise payment in the event of unexpected occurrences that may affect your travel plans. You may also want to consider purchasing this coverage to ensure you have medical protection while traveling. Some medical policies, like Medicare, may not provide coverage for medical expenses incurred outside of the United States.
 

One of Holland America Line’s Cancellation Protection Plans could help reimburse you for unforeseeable losses if:

• You should need to cancel before departure for ANY reason
• Your luggage is lost, damaged, or delayed
• A family member back home becomes ill and you must return from your vacation early
• The flight on which you were scheduled is delayed or cancelled and you miss your cruise departure
• You become injured or sick during your vacation

The Standard Plan (Cancel for Any Reason Waiver) offers the opportunity to receive a refund from Holland America Line beyond the published refund policy for the otherwise non-refundable cancellation fees. This waiver allows you, for any reason, to cancel up to 24 hours prior to the start of your scheduled travel arrangements made by Holland America Line and receive a money back refund equal to 80% of the prepaid, non-refundable cancellation fees applicable to your cruise vacation.  Please refer to the brochure for your cruise for the applicable cancellation fee policy. CPP Standard (Cancel for Any Reason Waiver) is available to all guests, regardless of residency (excluding permanent residents of the United Kingdom).

The Platinum Plan provides a 90% cancellation fee reimbursement and extends the cancellation waiver period up until the start of your scheduled travel arrangements made by Holland America Line. CPP Platinum's Cancel For Any Reason Waiver is a non-insurance feature provided by Holland America Line. The Platinum Plan also provides travel insurance coverage underwritten by Nationwide® for trip delays and interruptions, medical expenses and more. Worldwide 24-hour emergency assistance, non-insurance services provided by CareFree Travel AssistanceTM , are included as well. CPP Platinum is not available to residents of New York State, Quebec, British Columbia, Puerto Rico, or the United Kingdom.

What's more, you'll get a money back refund. Other programs may not refund cancellation fees if the reason for cancellation is not a "covered" claim.
