We have always used Travelex and have recommended it to friends who are taking their first cruise next year.
So far we have never had to make a claim, but better to have the insurance and not use it than to need it and not have it.

A portion of our trip involving offshore flights was cancelled due to weather. The tour company refunded essentially all of the trip cost ($4K), but retained an "administrative fee" (whatever that is) of $80. I filed a claim for this and it was paid promptly and without any hassles. A tiny claim to be sure, but it was handled efficiently and is the only basis upon which I can make a report.
Kenneth A. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

We traveled with Vantage on a river cruise and everything went very smoothly. This was our 5th trip with Vantage and we are planning a French river boat cruise this year also with Vantage.

Good coverage at a reasonable price for our 3 week trip. Much better protection & price than the cruise company offered us.

I was unable to research easily on the internet since your program kept kicking me out after I looked at a single policy, but this was actually really good because your customer service rep, did a super job of helping me pick the best policy for my needs.
