Cruise Cancellation Protection With Our Cancel For Any Reason Protection Plan We want to put your mind at ease from anything that may arise before your cruise with our Cancel For Any Reason Protection Plan. Cancel for ANY reason - The plan provided by Pearl Seas Cruises allows you to cancel for ANY reason and receive a refund beyond our standard refund policy. Simplified Refund Process - If the unexpected does occur, we offer an easy cancellation process that ensures you are refunded quickly. Affordable peace of mind - We created the Cancel For Any Reason Protection Plan to provide you with peace of mind at an affordable price as you prepare for your cruise.
