What does cruise insurance cover?
Cruise travel insurance is an extension to normal travel insurance. When included on a policy, cruise cover can provide a wealth of additional benefits, which have been tailor-made to meet the unique requirements of setting sail on a cruise.
Covered
- Emergency Medical Expenses: Coverage for medical expenses or emergency medical treatments in the event of a medical emergency.
- Repatriation: Handles the expenses associated with bringing you back home following a medical emergency.
- Cancellation Cover: Protection for canceling your cruise in case of an incident or event covered by your policy.
- Lost or stolen baggage: Protection in the event of loss, damage, or theft of your baggage or personal belongings during your cruise.
- Cabin Confinement: Compensation for missed parts of your cruise if confined to your cabin due to illness on board.
- Missed Port: Compensation if the captain has to alter the itinerary, resulting in a missed port.
- Missed Excursions: Covers the costs of any pre-booked excursions you can't go on due to cabin confinement.
- Cruise Interruption: Cover for your travel and accommodation expenses to reach your next port should you require hospital treatment on land.
Not Covered
- Undeclared Conditions: It is important to declare all pre-existing medical conditions when purchasing insurance for your cruise. You will not be covered for medical expenses that relate to a pre-existing condition you have not declared.
- Purchasing After Departure: You must purchase your travel insurance before you depart for your cruise.
- Travelling Against Advice: You are unlikely to have any cover if you decide to travel against any travel advisories by the government.
- Changing Your Mind: Your travel insurance does not provide coverage if you decide you no longer wish to go.
- Missed Flights: Your travel insurance provider will not cover missed flights due to lateness or failure to clear security on time.
- Under The Influence: Claims for an accident or incident that occurs while you are under the influence of alcohol.
It's important to read your policy wording for a full list of exclusions.
