Costa Travel Protection Plan

The last thing you want to worry about is a problem on your trip. But because the unexpected does sometime 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 AIG Assist Assistance Services Network, so you can get emergency assistance 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world. Costa’s Travel 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 coverage 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 Travel Protection Plan, ask your Vacations To Go cruise counselor for a copy of the Description of Coverage. 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. Your coverage begins as soon as Costa receives the appropriate plan cost and lasts until you return home.

A Guarantee from Costa for Pre-existing Conditions

If you purchase Costa’s Travel Protection Plan and have a trip cancellation or trip interruption claim that is denied because of a pre-existing condition, a common exclusion in travel insurance policies, Costa will issue a travel credit equal to the cancellation penalties or the pro-rated value of an interrupted cruise. Unlike other plans, Costa’s protection program does not limit this feature to policies purchased at the time of deposit.
