Cruise Travel Insurance

Cruises offer travellers the opportunity to experience multiple destinations in a single journey, at a more relaxed pace. Given the nature of cruise travel, it is essential to ensure that your travel insurance policy includes cruise-specific cover. Standard travel insurance may not provide sufficient protection for circumstances exclusive to cruise holidays, such as:

  • Cabin confinement
  • Missed port departures
  • Unused excursions
  • Itinerary changes

Usually, these benefits are in addition to the standard benefits associated with travel insurance, like trip cancellation, personal belongings, and medical emergencies.

Although emergency medical expenses are covered under a standard travel insurance policy, when it comes to being on a cruise, travellers are presented with unique risks in terms of health and medical concerns. It’s important to consider scenarios like:

  • Medical expenses while at sea
  • Emergency evacuation and transportation to onshore medical facilities
  • Additional accommodation if recovery is required
  • Repatriation to the UK, where necessary

Travelling with pre-existing medical conditions requires careful planning, and comprehensive insurance is essential - especially when you could be at sea for days. We work with insurers who offer simple and transparent medical screening processes, enabling cover for a wide range of diagnosed conditions.
