Orient Lines strongly recommends that you purchase travel insurance, so that you can enjoy all the beauty and excitement of the world’s destinations with complete peace of mind. This cruise protection program, which was developed especially for Orient Lines passengers, provides a wide range of travel insurance protection and services at very reasonable rates.

The cruise protection program is not only cancellation insurance. Yes, it does provide reimbursement for penalties that may be assessed due to cancellations for covered reasons, but it also provides much more. For example, the program offers medical expense reimbursement for covered sickness or accidents overseas, especially important because Medicare, and many private insurance policies, restrict coverage of medical expenses incurred abroad.

Please Note: This is not a complete description of all program benefits and limitations. Naturally, some limitations and exclusions apply, such as a ‘pre-existing condition’ exclusion, which precludes coverage for medical conditions existing within 60 days prior to the purchase of the insurance. (Note: travelers with chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, may still be covered if the condition requires no treatment or change in medication 60 days prior to the purchase of the insurance.) Please ask your Vacations To Go cruise counselor for complete details on all exclusions and limitations. All coverages pay benefits after any other coverages you may have, including group health plans, Medicare, home-owner’s insurance or airline baggage liability allowances.
