I have taken out Generali policies several times for our trips. I have only submitted claims twice. The first time I had two claims that were both paid. Most recently I again had two claims. one was paid and the other was denied. While the denial followed the contract guidelines, I was disappointed as the cruise ship recommended I file the claim after they refused to reimburse me for a missed excursion.

Went to Canada for a week. Was having a good time and wanted to stay 2 more days, but, due to the policy not allowing an extension I was forced to cut my time short or take out another policy with another policy fee. Due to this I went home earlier than I wanted to. Next time I will use another company.

Luckily I did not have to file a claim, although the trip did not go as planned.

However, the tour operator, Quark Expeditions, agreed to refund a pro-rated amount for 3 days of the expedition cost and and pay additional reimbursements for three days at $100 per person per day to cover meals expenses for the extra days we had to spend in Calgary waiting for embarkation.

Here is the letter they provided for anyone wanting to file a claim.

Re: Canada’s Remote Arctic aboard Ultramarine – August 19- August 30, 2023 – Trip Interruption

Dear Travel Insurance Provider,
This letter is to inform you of the Trip Interruption to the above voyage due to wildfire activity in Yellowknife which resulted in the cancellation of their charter flight from Calgary to Resolute. Guests remained at the joining hotel Calgary until their return home.
On August 20, 2023 passengers were scheduled to fly on Summit Air charter flights departing Calgary at 9:00AM & 10:00AM and arriving in Resolute Bay at 3:33PM and 5:18PM where they intended to embark Ultramarine. However, on August 18 we were advised by Summit Air flights had been cancelled as their aircraft and crew had been redirected to assist in the wildfire efforts.
With Summit Airlines unable to operate charter flights Resolute was no longer a viable embarkation point, which resulted the embarkation point of Ultramarine changing to Iqaluit. Guests remained in Calgary until August 22. Flights were scheduled with Canada Jet Lines to operate on August 22 departing Calgary at 11:45 AM and arriving in Iqaluit at 6:10PM. Upon arrival in Iqaluit guest embarked upon Ultramarine and continued their expedition.
As per our terms and conditions, no compensation has been provided to travelers for flights outside our program or other expenses incurred due to the interruption.
Should you have any questions regarding this voyage interruption please contact Quark Expeditions via [email protected] with “Canada’s Remote Arctic August 19 departure Trip Interruption”, in the subject line.
Very Sincerely,
The Quark Expeditions Client Experience Team

Didn't need to submit a claim for this trip, but bought because of the good pricing and excellent service on prior trip claims!

I filed a claim for trip interruption, because I contracted Covid during my trip, and had to leave my tour. Generali denied my claim, because I wasn't sick enough to require treatment by a physician or medical facility (they require documentation of such). So I had a trip interruption, but Generali's policy is written in such a way as to deny my claim. Read the entire policy that you are purchasing, and make sure you follow it to the letter, or you will not be properly compensated by Generali.

I almost had to use the plan, which would have covered the trip. Fortunately, that didn't happen and we were able to go and enjoy. I would definitely look at Generali for my next vacation.
