Azamara Launches Trip Protection from Allianz Global Assistance

 

Allianz Global Assistance trip protection will reimburse Azamara guests up to 100% of their insured trip cost if they are required to cancel or interrupt their voyage for a reason covered by their plan.* Additional benefits under the plan include coverage for dental and medical emergencies, emergency medical transportation and lost, delayed or damaged baggage. All benefits include coverage limits and may be subject to a per-day maximum, and terms and conditions also apply.

 

“As our valued guests embark on immersive voyages to explore new destinations, we are proud to offer them trip protection from the industry leader in travel insurance and assistance,” said Carol Cabezas, president of Azamara. “Beyond our immersive shore excursions, onboard cultural entertainment and specialty dining experiences, we are very pleased to now offer travel protection to provide peace of mind to our valued guests from the time they book their trip until the moment they return home.”

 

“We are pleased to offer our travel protection products to the Azamara guests navigating the globe to reach the world’s most exciting destinations,” said Tom Trotta, Vice President of Sales at Allianz Partners USA. “Azamara guests who select our trip protection can rest easy knowing that we’re here to protect them from the costs of unexpected cancellations, interruptions and delays, as well as other situations covered by their policy.”

 

Azamara guests who select Allianz Travel Insurance will have access to Allianz’s award-winning TravelSmart™ mobile app and SmartBenefits no receipt payments. The TravelSmart app includes an Alert Center feature which provides users with location-specific travel alerts, and is the fastest, easiest way to access a travel insurance plan, file and manage a claim, track flights, receive live updates for delays and easily contact 24-hour travel assistance services. SmartBenefits can provide reimbursement for travel or baggage delays without receipt when proof of a covered delay is provided.
