Luxury river cruise line AmaWaterways has announced an exclusive partnership with Allianz Partners for travel protection products.

Guests planning a river cruise on one of AmaWaterways 31 vessels now have the ability to purchase Allianz Partners travel protection plans during cruise booking.  

Allianz Partners’ travel protection plans include trip protection benefits that may reimburse AmaWaterways guests up to 100 percent of their non-refundable insured trip cost if they are required to cancel or interrupt their voyage for a reason covered by their plan.

Travel Delay benefits may cover extra costs incurred in catching up to a cruise when a flight is significantly delayed due to a covered reason and may reimburse other incurred extra expenses or lost pre-paid expenses during the covered delay.

Additional benefits may include coverage for dental and medical emergencies, emergency medical transportation and lost, delayed or damaged baggage

“We are proud to partner with Allianz Partners to offer our guests an added layer of security and peace of mind when they travel with AmaWaterways,” said Kristin Karst, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Ambassador at AmaWaterways in a statement.

She added, “Our mission has always been to ensure that our guests enjoy every single moment of their vacation as they explore the rivers of the world. Allianz Partners’ commitment to innovation and service perfectly aligns with our mission to provide exceptional, worry-free travel experiences. This partnership allows our guests to focus on creating unforgettable memories aboard our ships, while we take care of the rest.”

“We are particularly proud to announce this partnership with AmaWaterways as their reputation for a guest-first focus is strongly in line with the customer-centric values at Allianz Partners,” said Tom Trotta, Vice President of Sales at Allianz Partners North America.

Trotta added, “AmaWaterways guests who select our travel protection products can look forward to their trip knowing that we’re here to protect them from the non-refundable costs of covered unexpected cancellations, interruptions and delays, as well as other unforeseen situations that may be covered by their policy.”

AmaWaterways guests and all Allianz Travel Insurance customers, have access to Allianz Partners’ Allyz mobile app, a comprehensive digital platform providing travelers with trusted advice and expertise as well as easy access to a wide range of insurance benefits for insured customers. The Allyz app is the fastest, easiest way to access an Allianz Partners travel insurance plan, file and manage a claim, track flights, quickly contact 24-hour Allianz Partners travel assistance services and schedule a virtual or in person visit with a medical provider.
