Like any vacation, it's important to protect the time, effort, and funds you've invested in your cruise plans. With our cruise coverage, you can feel more at ease on the high seas with an expert team on your side. No matter the time or place, we're ready to offer solutions for unexpected issues during your vacation – whether it's financial support or help accessing the right medical care.
Wondering what mishaps could happen on your cruise and how we can help? Whether you lose your luggage on the cruise ship, miss a connecting flight on your way to your cruise port, or slip and fall on the pool deck, our cruise insurance can reimburse you for unforeseen expenses that come up from these situations — and more.
Our Travelex plans apply to your entire trip from start to finish. We can help if your cruise is unexpectedly canceled, interrupted, or delayed — even if you bought non-refundable tickets or tours. So, if something comes up before you set sail, our cruise insurance may reimburse you for the prepaid Bahamas snorkeling tour you booked or the cruise tickets you purchased to explore Europe.
Concerned about catching a cold or a bad case of sea sickness on your cruise? If you unexpectedly get sick or hurt during your cruise vacation, we can reimburse you for unforeseen emergency medical costs, both on and off the ship.
Along with helping to safeguard your trip, our travel insurance for cruises can also help protect the journey your luggage takes. If your belongings are lost, stolen, or damaged on your cruise, we can help cover the cost of replacing them. This could come in handy on a cruise, where you'll be among larger crowds. To learn more about our luggage coverage, visit our lost or delayed baggage page.
Only you can know which travel insurance is right for you and your trip. Our three comprehensive plans — Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential — can protect cruise vacations, so they may be good options for your trip. They offer the essential coverage you need if a sudden incident happens during your getaway at sea. Plus, each plan includes access to our Travel On app for tap-to-call assistance, real-time safety alerts, and more.
Wondering which one of our plans could be the best travel insurance for your cruise? Here are some details on each of our plans:
Our most comprehensive —and customizable — plan. It offers up to $50,000 trip cancellation, $1,000,000 emergency evacuation, $250,000 emergency medical coverage, and much more.
Our mid-tier plan with great coverage at an even greater price. It offers up to $10,000 trip cancellation, $250,000 emergency evacuation, $50,000 emergency medical coverage, and other key benefits.
Our budget-friendly protection plan with essential coverage. It offers up to $10,000 trip cancellation, $200,000 emergency evacuation, and $25,000 emergency medical coverage — plus other benefits.
Want to customize your policy to better suit your cruise? Check out our optional upgrades:
You can! Because if you want to go on a cruise, we don't want unexpected issues with your conditions to stop you.
If you buy our Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip expense, insure your entire trip cost, and are able to travel when purchasing our coverage, we can offer coverage for your pre-existing conditions.
What's that look like? If your ongoing illness acts up and you need medical care on your cruise, it normally wouldn't be covered because of our pre-existing condition exclusion. But with our Ultimate plan and the requirements met above, we can waive that exclusion and offer you the benefit. So, if pre-existing asthma affects your airways at sea or diabetes throws your blood sugar for a loop, we can support your unexpected medical costs.
Our base plans do offer coverage for certain sporty experiences like snorkeling, horseback riding, kayaking, and surfing. This way, your emergency medical coverage stays with you, letting you enjoy cruise excursions with extra confidence!
Want to take your adrenaline up a notch on your cruise with ziplining, scuba diving, or bungee jumping? Our base plans exclude more thrilling activities like these, but our adventure activities upgrade removes that exclusion!
If you buy our Ultimate, Advantage, Essential, or Travel Med Go plan and add our adventure activities upgrade, we'll offer medical coverage for those exciting adventures. It's smart to add security when there's more risk, so be sure to check out the upgrade when you get a quote — so you can feel freer to focus on fun.
Whether it's 3 a.m. on the ship or 2 p.m. on land, our 24/7 assistance provider is always ready to guide you through any choppy waters. Whether it's a medical emergency, a lost bag, or a delayed excursion, they're here to help you navigate the situation so you can get back to enjoying your cruise. Just tap the assistance button in our Travel On app to reach them fast!
We want our traveler to go with their bucket list takes them — not chain them to computers in a hotel lobby! That's why we make it easy to file a claim remotely.
With our online claims portal, you can file a claim anytime, anywhere, even from the middle of the ocean (as long as you have Wi-Fi). Just enter your policy confirmation number, and you'll be able to submit your claim, upload documents, and track its status all in one place.
Yes! In fact, we recommend that you buy travel insurance for your cruise as soon as you book any part of your vacation. This means you can benefit from trip cancellation coverage for as long as possible.
Why else should you purchase as soon as you book? If you get our Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip payment and insure your whole trip cost, we can include coverage for your pre-existing conditions. Then, if your ongoing illness acts up during your cruise and you need medical treatment, we may reimburse you for those costs. This coverage can be helpful whether you're looking for cruise travel insurance for seniors or coverage for your family.
