AmaWaterways Travel Protection with Allianz Travel Insurance

Your exclusive experience deserves the confidence of a trusted name in travel protection. That’s why we’ve partnered with Allianz Global Assistance to offer custom plans designed especially for AmaWaterways guests that can help you plan for the unexpected and enhance your overall experience.

Why protect your AmaWaterways Cruise?

Travel protection can give you flexibility and support when your journey doesn’t go quite as planned. From flight delays to sudden illness and much more, it can help you manage unforeseen events that may impact your trip—giving you peace of mind from the moment you book through your return journey home.

When can travel protection help?

Travel protection gives you financial benefits and professional support if a covered situation comes up before or during your travels, such as:


  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly coming down with a covered illness


  • Taking care of a traveling companion with a covered illness or injury


  • Having to end your trip early due to a covered family emergency


  • Dealing with a covered flight delay or cancellation


  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost, damaged, stolen, or delayed


  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay


For help with a medical emergency or travel obstacle during your trip, you can also contact the experts at Allianz Global Assistance 24/7/365.


Whether you’re planning your next AmaWaterways experience or you’ve recently booked one, protect your entire trip and worry less about the unexpected.

Benefits and services

To make unforeseen issues easier for you and your traveling companions, travel protection features benefits that can provide cash reimbursement, emergency care support, 24-hour assistance, and more. 

Travel at ease with plan benefits and services like:

  • Trip cancellation reimbursement
Get cash back for your prepaid, non-refundable trip expenses if you must cancel your trip due to a covered reason.


  • Trip interruption reimbursement
Reimburses the unused, non-refundable portion of your trip expenses and the additional transportation costs required to continue your trip or return home if you need to interrupt your trip for a covered reason.


  • Travel delay
Compensates up to $300 per person, per day, for additional travel or lost prepaid expenses if your trip is delayed for five or more hours due to a covered reason.


  • Baggage delay
Reimburses the reasonable additional purchase of essential items during your trip if your baggage is delayed or misdirected by a travel supplier for the number of hours specified in your plan documents—just provide receipts for emergency purchases. Even better, you can opt to receive a $100 payment with no receipts required—just proof of the covered baggage delay.


  • Baggage loss/damage
Provides benefits for the loss, damage, or theft of baggage and personal items throughout your trip.


  • Emergency medical and dental
This primary benefit provides reimbursement for expenses incurred during your trip due to covered medical and dental emergencies


  • Emergency medical transportation
Provides benefits for the cost of medically necessary transportation to the nearest appropriate facility and can also provide benefits for the cost of your transportation back home following a covered illness or injury.


  • Global doctor visits
Offers access to convenient in-person or virtual medical consultations for unforeseen health issues that don’t require emergency care—like a stomach bug or sinus infection—in 80+ of the most popular international travel destinations*


  • 24-hour assistance by phone
A multilingual team of problem-solvers is always available to help with your medical and travel-related emergencies.

Free look period

If you’re not completely satisfied with your plan, you have 15 days (or more, depending on your state of residence) to request a refund, provided you haven’t started your trip or initiated a claim. Premiums are non-refundable after this period
