pricing depends on policy and coverage selection
Travel of any kind is an important investment and there are options available to ensure that your investment is protected. If you've already decided to purchase the Cruise Cancellation Plan, then that is great! But gentle reminder that the ACL Cancellation Plan is not travel insurance—it simply waives cancellation fees and assists in obtaining a refund for the cruise fare.
To ensure complete protection of your trip—including flights, baggage, medical emergencies, and unexpected travel disruptions—it is always recommended to purchase travel insurance. Here’s why:
What the Cancellation Plan Covers (And What It Doesn’t)
✔ Cruise fare refund if they cancel (up to 24 hours before departure).
❌ No protection for flights – If your flight gets delayed or canceled, without insurance you will be responsible for rebooking and additional costs.
❌ No emergency medical coverage – If you fall ill or get injured before or during your trip, medical expenses aren't covered under the Cancellation Plan.
❌ No coverage for lost/delayed baggage – If your luggage is lost or delayed, you will need to cover replacement costs out of pocket if you do not have travel insurance coverage.
❌ No reimbursement for trip interruptions – If you need to cut your trip short due to a personal emergency or bad weather, without dedicated travel insurance you won't be refunded for missed experiences.
How Travel Insurance Complements The Cancellation Plan
With Travel Insurance, you have true peace of mind knowing that everything is covered—not just the cruise fare.
✔ Flight Protection: If your flight is delayed or canceled, travel insurance can aid to cover rebooking costs and provides compensation for extended delays.
✔ Trip Interruption & Delay Coverage: If bad weather, a medical emergency, or unforeseen circumstances cause you to miss the cruise departure or shorten your trip, travel insurance can reimburse non-refundable expenses.
✔ Emergency Medical Coverage: If you experience a health issue during the cruise, travel insurance can potentially cover medical treatment, hospital stays, and even emergency evacuation if necessary.
✔ Baggage Protection: If your luggage is lost, stolen, or delayed, with travel insurance you will potentially be reimbursed for essentials and replacement costs.
✔ 24/7 Travel Assistance: If you need help rebooking flights, making alternate travel plans, or navigating medical care.
By adding Travel Insurance, you will have full financial protection for your entire trip—not just the cruise. This ensures that if anything goes wrong (flight issues, health concerns, or unexpected cancellations), you won’t be left covering costly expenses out of pocket.
