Norwegian Cruise Line Travel Protection Plan

Any vacation should be hassle free, and worry free. Like every other part of your cruise with us, we make it easy to relax and do nothing but look forward to a great vacation. We know travel plans can be disrupted by the unforeseen, so we are pleased to offer BookSafe Travel Protection to help cover the cost of:

  • Trip cancellation
  • Trip interruption
  • Lost luggage
  • Trip and baggage delays
  • Medical expenses
  • Emergency medical transportation

 

Plus the access to a 24-hour hotline offering worldwide travel assistance.

BookSafe Travel Protection covers you before, during and after your trip

You're covered for trip cancellation, trip interruption and trip delay.

BookSafe provides reimbursement for the prepaid, non-refundable, unused portion of your vacation should you need to cancel or interrupt your vacation due to unexpected illness, injury, job termination and other covered reasons as listed in the plan. The plan also covers additional out-of-pocket expenses for meals and accommodation, as well as for travel expenses to catch up to the vacation due to covered travel delays. Best of all, if your reason for cancellation is not covered for reimbursement under the plan, we provide you with a credit for a future cruise.

Your baggage and personal effects are covered.

BookSafe provides coverage for loss, theft, damage or delay of your luggage and personal belongings brought with you on the cruise.

You're covered for medical expenses and emergency medical transportation.

BookSafe reimburses medical expenses incurred as a result of illness or injury that occurs during your vacation. The plan also provides emergency medical transportation coverage to transport you to the nearest appropriate medical facility to treat your condition. This coverage is especially important, as your HMO/PPO or Medicare may not provide coverage when you are traveling outside the United States, nor may they provide coverage for an emergency evacuation. The plan also provides medical expense coverage for up to 52 weeks following your vacation for any additional medical expenses related to the illness/injury that occurred while you were traveling.

You're covered 24/7 around the globe. Services provided by On Call International.

BookSafe provides an international, around-the-clock hotline with services including weather and travel advisory information; lost luggage and travel document assistance; cash transfer assistance; emergency medical and legal referral assistance; travel arrangement assistance; and medical consultation and monitoring.

Get added coverage with Platinum Travel Protection.

Guests who upgrade to Platinum Travel Protection will receive all the benefits of the base plan at double the standard coverage limits for the following: baggage/personal effects, medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and repatriation benefits.

* Important: This program is effective when the appropriate Plan Cost has been paid to Norwegian Cruise Line.

This plan provides cancellation coverage for your trip and other insurance coverages that apply only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This is only a brief description of the plan. For a summary of terms, conditions and exclusions, please refer to the BookSafe Travel Protection Plan.”

Norwegian Cruise Line BookSafe Travel Protection Plan now including Job Loss Coverage

At Norwegian Cruise Line, we're making sure you feel good about booking that dream cruise. We realize a big part of achieving this dream relates to your financial security. With this in mind, we've worked with our program administrator to, expand our Travel Protection Plan to now include coverage due to involuntary job loss.

Booked guests who purchase the Norwegian Cruise Line BookSafe Travel Protection Plan are eligible for reimbursement of any pre-paid, non-refundable cancellation fees if an insured guest unexpectedly loses their job- as long as the person has been an active employee at the same company for at least one year prior to the termination.

Besides, our booked guests should be thinking about more important vacation questions, like what number SPF to pack.

  • If you've involuntarily lost your job or have been terminated (by an employer for whom you have worked at least one year) after your purchase the plan, you're covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL MY TRIP?
If something comes up and you can’t go, due to one of the covered reasons listed in the plan, you get your money back. If it’s not a covered reason and your cancellation claim is denied, you get an Norwegian Cruise Line future cruise credit certificate that you can apply toward a new booking. It’s that simple.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY FLIGHT IS DELAYED AND THE SHIP SAILS WITHOUT ME?
Get up to $500 toward additional accommodations, meals and catch up transportation expenses if you are delayed due to inclement weather, strike, mechanical failure and other reasons as cited in the BookSafe Travel Protection Plan.

Get up to $1,500 for lost, stolen or damaged luggage and personal property brought with you on your cruise vacation, and up to $750 if your checked luggage is delayed by a Common Carrier for 24 hours or longer.  Note that benefits provided are less any amount paid or payable from any coverage provided by a Common Carrier and/or insurance specifically insuring the lost, stolen or damaged item(s).

WHO WILL HELP ME WHEN I NEED IT?

WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ACT OF GOD OCCURS?
If your home is made uninhabitable due to fire, flood, volcano, earthquake, hurricane or other natural disaster, the plan provides Trip Cancellation/Interruption coverage should you need to cancel or interrupt your trip.  If “acts of God” such as inclement weather occur and you are delayed in starting your trip, the plan reimburses up to $500 under Trip Delay for additional meals, lodging and transportation expenses to catch up to your cruise.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE MY JOB?
If an insured guest involuntarily loses their job, as long as the guest has been an active employee at the same company for at least one year prior to termination, and termination occurs after the plan has been purchased, the plan provides coverage for cancellation.  Please note the plan provides other reasons for cancellation/interruption coverage, so please review the BookSafe Travel Protection Plan for details.

WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL FOR A NON-COVERED REASON?
Norwegian Cruise Line will provide guests who are denied due to a non-covered reason with a future cruise credit equal to 75% of the non-refundable cancellation charge to use on your next cruise with us.  For guests who upgrade to BookSafe Platinum Protection, this credit is increased to 90% of the non-refundable cancellation charge. Important note: Cruise credits cannot be applied to government taxes and fees, air add-ons, land packages, travel protection, Shore Excursions, gratuities, incidentals, or any purchases of a personal nature. They are non-transferrable and may not be combined with other cruise credit certificates or fare reduction coupons.

WHAT ABOUT MY AIR AND HOTEL?
If your air and/or hotel is arranged by Norwegian Cruise Line, it’s covered under BookSafe.

WHEN CAN I BUY BOOKSAFE?
The BookSafe plan cost may be paid at any time from deposit up to and including final payment; however, trip cancellation coverage takes effect only upon payment of your Travel Protection cost.  All other coverage is effective upon your departure for your trip.  Payment of your cruise fare deposit without BookSafe Travel Protection will not activate your coverage.
