Protect your investment: If you purchase the protection plan upon enrollment with your deposit, any restriction on pre-existing conditions is waived. If protection plan is purchased after the deposit is received, all coverage is subject to exclusion of pre-existing conditions. Trip cancellation and interruption protection is made available to tour members at a cost of $240 per person. You will receive a detailed description of the protection plan, which you will have ten days to review. Certain conditions, exclusions and limitations apply as set out in the Evidence of Coverage and Confirmation of Coverage. Following is a brief description:

  • This protection plan will cover you for cancellation fees if you need to cancel be cause of death, injury or illness to you, your traveling companion or your immediate family member.
  • Trip Interruption or Delay
  • Medical Evacuation
  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost, stolen or damaged baggage

    Cancellation and Refund Policy: A full refund (except for prepurchased insurance) will be made for written cancellations received no later than June 1, 2009. Passengers who cancel after that date for any reason, including medical reasons, are subject to the following cancellation fees:
  • June 2 – June 24 $600 per person
  • June 25 – July 22: 50% of gross fare per person
  • July 23 – Aug. 5: 75% of gross fare per person
  • Aug. 6: 100% of gross fare

    Given that the resale of cancelled space will likely result in a lost opportunity to sell other space, these fees are due regardless of resale. Fees incurred as a result of cancellation cannot be applied to future bookings.

    Name changes require the prior approval of Princess Cruises, and may not always be possible. Cruise con tracts are non-transferrable. Name changes and departure date changes are considered reservation cancellations and are subject to cancellation fees.

    Note: All prices, schedules, and tour conditions are based on information current at time of printing, and are subject to change prior to departure. Prices shown are based on many factors, and in the event of an increase in any cost factor, the right is reserved to increase the prices at any time up to the date of departure. All fares are per person double occupancy (unless otherwise noted) and are quoted in US currency.
