Why you should purchase Travel Protection
If Your Trip is Canceled or Interrupted, Your Travel Investment is Protected
If you are like a lot of people these days, you don't just look forward to your vacations, you need them. A vacation is your opportunity to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries. Or to catch up with friends and family. Unfortunately, many things happen that might cause you to cancel your travel plans or cut them short. Illness or injury. The death of a family member. The worst part is, without adequate protection, you can lose your vacation and your money, as well. The Lindblad Expeditions Travel Protection "Plus" program protects your travel investment if your trip is canceled or interrupted for a covered reason such as injury, illness or death of you, an immediate family member, or a traveling companion or business partner.
If you must interrupt your trip or return home early for a covered reason, the plan will pay (up to the original cost of your trip) for your unused land or cruise arrangements, less any refund paid or payable, plus the additional air expense to return home or rejoin your trip.
The plan will also pay up to the amount shown on the Schedule of Coverages for the additional cost for a change in the per person occupancy rate if a traveling companion's trip is canceled and your trip continues.
Trip Delayed? You're OK!
You'll be reimbursed up to $100 per day for meals and accommodations (to a maximum of $500 total) if your trip is delayed for more than 12 hours for a covered reason.
