Faq Question

What is late arrival protection?

Faq Answer

All guests who book air travel through Flight Ease® are automatically eligible for Holland America Line’s Late Arrival Protection. On the day you are en route to or from your cruise, if you anticipate missing the original port of embarkation due to an airline delay or service disruption, Holland America Line will work with the airline to find a reasonable alternative to provide flights to join the voyage at the next appropriate port if necessary, at no additional air cost to you.

In addition, if for any reason your cruise arrives late into port or your Holland America Line transfer is delayed to the airport and you miss your return flight, Holland America Line will work with the airline to rebook your flights to get you home.

faq6

Faq Question

What If I Need to Change or Cancel My Flights?

Faq Answer

Cancelling your cruise/cruisetour booking for any reason will cancel any air bookings associated with the cruise/cruisetour booking, and fees will be applied if applicable.

Air cancellation policies differ depending upon whether Flexible or Restricted air was booked. The change / cancellation fee amount (if applicable) will display prior to completing the change. Air bookings will automatically cancel when certain booking changes occur such as any guest name change or correction, change in departure or arrival city, addition of packages before or after the cruise, rebooking to a new sailing, or cancellation of the cruise booking.

Cancel fees will only apply to Flexible Air if air is cancelled after the cruise final payment date or after early ticketing has been requested. Restricted Air can be cancelled without penalty only within 24 hours of purchase. After 24 hours, a cancellation fee will apply.

Flexible Fares: Provided you have not requested early ticketing, no change fees will be charged for changes and cancellations made prior to the cruise final payment due date. Changes to the booking may require cancellation and rebooking of flights. The original schedule and airfare may no longer be available, and a new reservation may need to be created at the current available price. If the current available price exceeds the original airfare, the guest must pay the additional charge. Cancellations after the cruise final payment date will incur a fee up to the full cost of the ticket, per ticket. Tickets are nontransferable and name changes are not allowed. In some instances, name corrections will not be permitted and will require cancellation and rebooking of flights.

Restricted Fares: Full payment for air reservation is required at the time of air booking. Tickets are nonrefundable. Any changes will result in the cancellation of the entire air booking. Cancellation of Restricted Air will incur cancellation fees of the full cost of the ticket. The airline may generate a Future Air Credit (FAC) memo in an amount the airline determines. FACs are notations in the booking that show the guest has an outstanding credit with the airline which can be applied to a future Holland America Line air booking with the same airline or redeemed directly with the airline, typically within 365 days. FACs are nontransferable, and nonrefundable. Tickets are nontransferable and name changes are not allowed. FACs only apply to U.S. resident bookings and are not available to guests who have requested refunds under a Holland America Line Cancellation Protection Plan.
