Compare & You'll See - Better Benefits, More Peace of Mind for You

Cancel your Vantage trip anytime before you depart - for any reason - and the full value of your travel program including your deposit is protected.

You can feel confident with the Vantage Passenger Protection Program, since the full value of your travel investment is protected. Here are just a few examples of this excellent coverage:

*These benefits are payable for covered reasons as detailed in the Certificate of Coverage which is sent with your initial invoice and is available, upon request, at any time.

With the Vantage Travel Protection Plan, the full value of your travel investment is protected. You're "covered for any reason" should the unexpected happen - especially important because Medicare and many private health insurance plans do not cover overseas travelers.

If you must cancel your Vantage trip prior to departure

For Vantage Land Tours, European River, Russian River, Paul Gauguin Cruises and other specifically designated small ship charters, if you purchase Vantage’s Guaranteed Full-Value Travel Protection Program and must cancel your trip before your scheduled departure date for: 1) a covered reason under the Pre-Departure Trip Cancellation Benefit, you will be reimbursed in cash for the cancellation penalty amount (the balance of the refund, if applicable, will be made either by check or credit card credit); or 2) for any reason under the Cancel For Any Reason benefit, you will receive a Vantage Travel Certificate for the cancellation penalty amount (the balance of the refund, if applicable, will be made either by check or credit card credit).

For most other Vantage Programs, principally Ocean Cruises (other than the Holland America Line Grand World Voyage-HWC), Yangtze River Cruises, Australian River Cruises, and Trans-Canada Rail programs, if you purchase Vantage’s Guaranteed Full-Value Travel Protection Program and must cancel your trip before your scheduled departure date for any reason, you will receive a Vantage Travel Certificate for the cancellation penalty amount (the balance of the refund, if applicable, will be made either by check by or credit card credit).

For the Holland America Line Grand World Voyage (HWC), you are covered if you must cancel your trip before your scheduled departure date for any “Covered Reason” as defined in the Certificate of Coverage for Plan W. In that event you will receive a Vantage Travel Certificate for the cancellation penalty amount, with the balance of the refund (if any) payable either by check or credit card credit.

Please note that the Vantage Travel Pre-Departure Cancellation Waiver does not cover penalties associated with air or other travel arrangements not directly provided by Vantage. Vantage Travel Certificates are non-transferable and non-refundable, are valid for one year from the date of issuance, but not to exceed 15 months after the date of trip cancellation, and may not be redeemed for cash.

During your tour

If something unexpected happens on tour — you’re covered for that, too — everything from your baggage getting delayed to a covered medical emergency.

Important: Medicare Does Not Cover You Overseas!
