The last thing you want to worry about is a problem on your trip, but sometimes the unexpected does occur. Costa offers Carefree Travel Protection, a custom-tailored package of both insurance and non-insurance benefits to provide reimbursement for losses that may occur while you cruise.

Carefree Travel Protection protects your cruise vacation investment should you have to cancel or interrupt your cruise for unexpected, specified reasons. Carefree Travel Protection provides reimbursement in the event of trip and baggage delays and provides medical expense reimbursement if you should fall ill or have an accident during your trip. This is especially important when you travel overseas, because Medicare and many private insurance policies may not provide coverage when traveling outside North America.

Cancellation Enhancement

If your Trip Cancellation claim is denied due to a Pre-Existing Condition, Costa will provide you with a future travel credit equal to the cancellation fee amount. This non-insurance feature is provided by Costa.

24/7 Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services

Provides 24-hour assistance services including: pre-cruise health, safety and weather information; assistance with travel changes; lost luggage assistance; emergency cash transfer assistance; emergency medical and dental assistance; lost travel document assistance; and emergency medical payment assistance. Non-insurance assistance services are provided by On Call International.

Please note that Carefree Travel Protection is not available to residents of New York, Quebec or Puerto Rico.
