Costa Guest
Protection Plan - The best way
to ensure your peace of mind.
The last thing you want to worry about is a problem on your trip. But
because the unexpected does sometimes occur, Costa offers a
custom-tailored protection plan to ensure peace of mind while you
cruise. It protects your investment should you have to cancel or
interrupt your cruise for an unexpected reason. It protects you against
baggage loss or delay. It provides medical expense coverage if you
should fall ill or have an accident during your trip. And it gives you
access to the assistance network of On Call International, so you can
get emergency assistance 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world.
Costa’s Guest Protection Plan is especially important when you go to
Europe, because Medicare and many private insurance policies do
not cover you outside North America.
Compared to the benefits and costs of other travel protection
plans, Costa’s protection plan is quite a bargain, especially when you
consider all the expense and heartache it can save! To purchase
Costa’s Guest Protection Plan, ask your travel agent for a copy of the
Plan Description. It details the terms, conditions and exclusions of the
plan. You pay the plan cost either upon booking or when you make your
final payment. The plan takes effect as soon as Costa receives the
appropriate plan cost ad lasts until you return home.
