Cunard Line has expanded its CunardCare Guest Protection plan to now provide a future cruise credit of up to 75 percent of the cancellation fee amount towards the guest’s next Cunard voyage, in the event that a trip has to be cancelled for unspecified reasons.
Cash reimbursement of up to the total voyage cost (maximum $50,000 per person for double occupancy) for cancellations due to eligible reasons will continue to apply, while reimbursements for amounts in excess of the $50,000 maximum would be provided to guests in the form of future cruise credits.
CunardCare can be purchased up until final payment of the voyage. Other benefits include trip interruption refunds for unused, non-refundable land/sea expenses (up to total original trip cost) to return home or rejoin the original land/sea arrangements for interruptions due to eligible reasons; trip delay protection up to $1,000 for delays en route to or from the voyage caused by specified reasons; medical, evacuation and baggage coverage; and 24/7 worldwide emergency assistance.
Plan costs for CunardCare vary by voyage duration -- coverage for voyages 14 days or less is 6.99 percent of the voyage cost, and coverage for voyages 15 days or greater is 8.99 percent of the voyage cost.

This well thought out incentive from Cunard inspires confidence to book and if their calculations work out it could even be a money spinner.
The name of the policy is a real winner and draws parallels with the Toshiba guarantee of "No matter what".
