Cruise cover offers you a broad range of protection to give you peace of mind on your cruise. Here’s a breakdown of what is included:
Cabin confinement: If you’re feeling a bit poorly and need to be confined to your cabin, make sure you confirm it with the ship’s medical officer so we can help with your compensation cover. We’ll pay £100 for each day you’re trapped inside, up to a limit of £1,000. If this confinement is due to a pre-existing illness you must have disclosed and discussed this with us before your cruise insurance purchase.
Cruise interruption: If your cruise is interrupted because you need unexpected hospital treatment, we’ll cover up to £1,000 to help get you to the next port to rejoin the cruise and continue your holiday. Alternatively, our insurance for cruise holidays covers repatriation where necessary.
Itinerary changes: If your cruise ship misses a port due to poor weather or timetable restrictions, our cruise insurance will cover you for up to £100 per port for up to 5 ports.
Missed cruise ship on port: No one’s holiday deserves to be lost at sea! If you missed your cruise due to problems with public transport, experienced a vehicle breakdown or were affected by an accident-induced traffic jam en route to the port – we’ll cover up to £1,000 to get you to the next docking port point to meet your cruise.
Unused excursions: If you missed out on some great activities or excursions that you’d booked and paid for before suddenly being taken ill and confined to your cabin, our cruise travel insurance will cover you up to £500.
(Note: The above is only available on our Silver, Gold and Black policies, and only when you pay the extra premium for cruise cover)
