<p>Holland <span class="xn-person">America Line</span> guests who  purchase the line's Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP) can cancel their  cruise or CruiseTour for any reason and receive a refund of up to 90  percent of the cruise fare paid.</p>
<p>Holland <span class="xn-person">America Line</span> now also permits CPP coverage to be added any time after booking, as  long as it is purchased before the date cancellation fees begin &mdash; or 75  days prior to the departure date for most sailings.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Many of our guests book several months before their cruise and we understand that things happen," said <span class="xn-person">Richard D. Meadows</span>,  CTC, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs.  "With Holland America Line's Cancellation Protection Plans, guests can  rest assured they don't have to have specific reasons to be protected.  It provides added peace of mind for our guests to know that whatever  might be affecting them, they can receive nearly a full refund, if  needed."</p>
<p><strong>Two Levels of CPP</strong></p>
<p>CPP  Standard reimburses 80 percent of eligible amounts paid for  cancellations for any reason up to 24 hours prior to the cruise or  CruiseTour departure. Plus, the plan provides an additional <span class="xn-money">$500</span> (for a total of <span class="xn-money">$600</span>) for lost, damaged or delayed baggage.</p>
<p>CPP  Platinum features a 90 percent refund upon cancellation for any reason  prior to departure. Other benefits under the expanded plan include  increased baggage protection for lost or damaged luggage up to <span class="xn-money">$1,600</span> total, delayed baggage coverage up to <span class="xn-money">$1,100</span>, trip-interruption protection if a guest must return home unexpectedly and trip-delay coverage.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Medical  coverage under the CPP Platinum plan covers emergency medical expenses  for illness or injury occurring during the voyage, emergency medical  evacuation and 24-hour emergency hotline assistance for legal, passport,  cash transfer, medical and documentation assistance.&nbsp;</p>
<p>CPP  Standard and CPP Platinum are available to U.S. and Canadian residents,  and must be purchased prior to the date cancellation fees begin. The  cost varies by cruise fare and is nonrefundable. For example, CPP  coverage for a guest paying up to <span class="xn-money">$1,000</span> for a seven-day <span class="xn-location">Caribbean</span> cruise is <span class="xn-money">$79</span> for CPP Standard and <span class="xn-money">$99</span> for CPP Platinum per person.&nbsp;</p>
