Passengers who book airfare through our innovative Princess eZAir^SM service now have the benefit of real-time, competitively-priced flights that perfectly complement your schedule and cruise itinerary. With Princess eZAir, you can seamlessly coordinate your air travel with your cruise itinerary. Unlike booking airfare through other online tools, Princess eZAir also protects you in the event of an airline delay with Next Port Protection. If passengers miss or will miss their original port of departure due to airline delay or an airline service disruption, such as flight cancelation or flight re-routes, Princess will work with the airlines to find a reasonable alternative to provide flights to the next appropriate port at no cost to the passenger.
It's part of our continuing commitment to make your vacation as carefree as possible.

Some of the advantages of Princess eZAir include:

Competitive rates
Choose from a selection of flight options in real-time with prices comparable to most major airline retailers.

Next Port Protection
Take comfort in knowing that Princess is available 24 hours a day to help route you to the next appropriate port of call if your flight is delayed or cancelled - at no extra air cost to the passenger.

Two pricing options
Choose from two pricing options based on your travel needs: Flexible - for those less certain of their travel arrangements, or Restricted - with typically lower rates for those with more certainty in their travel plans. And, you can compare both pricing options side-by-side to determine what option best matches your travel needs.

No customization fee
You can choose your desired airline, exact flight schedule, cabin level, seating arrangements and requested ancillary services with no extra customization fee.

You can book your flights elsewhere and still be part of our group.

Put your mind at ease with Princess Vacation Protection

Fortunately, Princess Vacation Protection can protect you from unforeseeable losses stemming from an array of circumstances, and even allows you to cancel your vacation for any reason at all. Princess Vacation Protection is a comprehensive package of benefits comprised of the following: the Princess Cancellation Fee Waiver, the Princess Travel Insurance and the Princess Worldwide Emergency Assistance Programs.

Princess Vacation Protection is available for purchase on all Princess Cruises, Princess Cruisetours, Princess Alaska Land Tours and Princess Canadian Rockies Land Tours, and is available at two levels: Princess Vacation Protection and Princess Platinum Vacation Protection.

The Princess Vacation Protection package of benefits, like many travel protection programs, will refund 100% of your otherwise nonrefundable cancellation fees in the event of an emergency. Yet unlike similar programs, Princess Vacation Protection allows you to cancel your vacation no matter what the reason.

Even if the reason for your cancellation does not qualify you for a full refund under the Special Cruise Enhancement Feature of the Princess Cancellation Fee Waiver Program, you will receive 75% of the non-refundable fees in the form of a credit toward your next Princess vacation. That's a service unique to Princess Vacation Protection.

And for those wanting even more peace of mind, Princess Platinum Vacation Protection doubles the limits of benefits for Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, Accident & Sickness Medical Expense and Baggage/Personal Effects coverage under the Princess Travel Insurance Program and also increases the Special Cancellation Enhancement Feature of the Princess Cancellation Fee Waiver Program's cancellation credit to 100% of the non-refundable fees.

With Princess Vacation Protection/Platinum Vacation Protection, if passengers are delayed pre-cruise for a covered reason, they are eligible for up to $500 per person to cover costs associated with catching up to the cruise. If they're delayed post-cruise for a covered reason, they are eligible for up to $1,500 per person to cover associated costs. Alternatively, if passengers opt to cancel their cruise after being delayed, under the Princess Cancellation Fee Waiver Program's Special Cancellation Enhancement they are eligible to receive cruise credits of 75% for Standard Vacation Protection and 100% for Platinum Vacation Protection.

Princess Vacation Protection is available for purchase up to the final payment due date of the voyage, even if your booking is already paid in full. So protect your investment with Princess Vacation Protection or Princess Platinum Vacation Protection!

If you have any questions or require additional information, please call Berkely, the program administrator for Princess Vacation Protection, at 1-877-846-8833.

VACATION PROTECTION

PRINCESS VACATION PROTECTION Don't gamble with your vacation! Protect your investment with a vacation protection program which will reimburse 100% of your otherwise non-refundable cancellation fees in the event you must cancel your cruise due to a covered emergency. And, unlike similar programs, Princess Vacation Protection also allows you to cancel your vacation no matter the reason. Even if the purpose of your cancellation does not qualify you for a full refund under the plan, you will still receive 75% of the non-refundable fees in the form of a credit towards your next Princess cruise.

PRINCESS PLATINUM VACATION PROTECTION For those wanting even more peace of mind, Platinum Vacation Protection doubles the limits of certain benefits and increases the voluntary cancellation credit to 100% of the non-refundable fees. While both programs come with lost baggage protection, Princess Platinum Vacation Protection will even double those limits if your luggage is lost.

PRINCESS MEDICAL ONLY PROTECTION In the event that you did not purchase Princess Vacation Protection (available until you've made final payment and entered the period where cancellation fees apply) and if Princess Vacation Protection is no longer available for your booking, you have the option to purchase Princess Medical Only Protection which offers sickness and accident benefits, emergency evacuation and repatriation coverage and 24/7 worldwide assistance.

When passengers cancel a booking within cancellation fee periods with ticketed air, the refunds passengers receive for ticketed air will not include the following:

• Any air customization fee(s) paid
• A service fee, independent of any air customization fee(s), of $50 per person (for voyages in North America) or $75 per person (for international voyages)
