Travel Insurance for Cruises

According to InsureMyTrip, 70 percent of cruise customers choose a comprehensive travel insurance policy for trips at sea.

Cruisers can also choose a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes cruise-specific benefits. These benefits aim to address travel inconveniences most commonly experienced by cruisers, for example:

Shipboard service disruptions
Example: When a fire, mechanical breakdown, or virus disrupts a cruise.

Port of call change
Example: when a cruise line changes an itinerary prior to departure due to weather or other circumstances.
