If you are planning a Cruise, then there are some advantages in purchasing a Travel Insurance policy before you leave, such as a Cancellation Cover if you get ill before your departure date.
You can opt for a Cruise Cover Extension Policy to provide extra protection. For example, compensation for Cabin Confinement (if you are taken ill on board).
If you have the good fortune to be cruising The Mediterranean or The Caribbean, or even Round the World Cruise, you should make sure that you have the correct policy in place. Standard policy may not provide sufficient cover for your Cruise.

What is Cruise Cover?
We will cover you whilst you are enjoying your cruise to several parts of a continent or parts of the World, whether on a River Cruise or Cruise Liner. Whether it lasts just a week or even a year, we've got you covered.
There are numerous Cruise Cover policies, the main variation is whether you keep it simple and opt for a low premium without the Cruise Extension Benefits (so that at least the Emergency Assistance Service know you are on a boat), or whether you go all out and opt for the Cruise Cover Extension Policy.
The very nature of a Cruise is that you will be visiting more than one country, so you must list all the countries you're visiting or ensure the Geographical Region you select will cover all stops.
Traditionally a Cruise has been for the older generation but is now becoming popular with younger Couples and Families.
You might find yourself interested in taking part in a Sports and Activities, such as Snorkelling, Scuba Diving or Kayaking.
