Hawaii

Overview

Hawaii - where all your island dreams come true

Lie in a hammock beneath a palm tree; fly among volcanoes, lush valleys and cascading waterfalls on a helicopter tour; from your private verandah view Kauai's dramatic Na Pali Coast and witness Kilauea Volcano shooting fire against the evening sky. Revel in relaxing "at sea" days sailing to and from the islands: have breakfast delivered to your stateroom, be pampered in our Greenhouse Spa, take a cooking class in our Culinary Arts Center or just relax in one of our teak deck chairs and watch the scenery go by. Whether your first cruise to Hawaii or a return trip, Holland America Line makes every Hawaii cruise vacation unique and memorable.

Protection Plans

Cancellation Protection Plans CPP Standard Plan

Our Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Standard Plan) will allow you, for any reason, to provide written cancellation up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise or cruisetour departure and receive a refund equal to 80% of the applicable cancellation fee (90% if you purchased our CPP Platinum Plan). In addition, Holland America Line (HAL) automatically assumes an additional US$500 of liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage of passengers who purchase the CPP Standard Plan still subject, however, to the limitations in our baggage policies. For example, we do not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines.

The CPP Standard Plan is not insurance; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple-quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel, nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption.

CPP Platinum Plan

Our Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Platinum Plan) enables you to supplement the CPP Standard Plan with insurance coverage and travel assistance services as well as increase your refund amount to 90% for cancellations made more than 24 hours prior to departure.

The plan reimburses your unused (determined in the case of your cruise or cruisetour on a pro rata basis), non-refundable land or sea expenses prepaid to HAL, airfare paid to return home and certain additional expenses up to $100/day. Maximum benefit is 150% of your cruise/cruisetour cost.
  • Trip Delay coverage provides reimbursement for reasonable additional accommodations and traveling expenses incurred to rejoin the trip in progress when you are delayed for more than 12 hours, due to covered reasons. Maximum benefit is US$1,000; not to exceed US$100/day.

  • Medical Expense coverage reimburses up to $10,000 for medical and emergency dental expenses incurred as a result of an injury or sickness that first manifests itself during your cruise or cruisetour.
  • You will also receive the following 24-Hour Emergency Hotline Assistance Services, arranged by the CPP Platinum Plan administrator's designated provider: Emergency Cash Transfer Assistance, Medical Consultation and Monitoring, Emergency Legal Assistance, Emergency Medical and Dental Assistance, Lost Travel Document Assistance and Emergency Medical Payment Assistance.
