If you are planning a cruise, then there are some advantages to purchasing a Travel Insurace Policy before you leave, such as Cancellation cover if you get ill before your departure date.
You can opt for a Cruise Cover Extension Policy to provide extra protection, such as 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 a Round the World cruise, you should make sure that you have the correct Travel Insurance policy in place. Be aware, a Standard Travel Insurance policy may not provide sufficient cover for your cruise.

What is Cruise Cover ?
At JS Travel Insurance, we'll cover you whilst you enjoy cruising to several parts of a country 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're on a boat), or whether you go all out and opt for the Cruise Cover Extension Policy.

You might find yourself interested in taking part in a Sports and Activities, such as Snorkelling, Scuba Diving or Kayaking. In some cases, some Sports and Activities will require an extra premium to pay depending on how difficult or dangerous the Sport or Activity is.

If you are cruising within the European Union make sure you take your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you. This card will provide you with access to free or reduced Emergency Medical Care whilst abroad if you are staying within Europe. The EHIC is not a replacement for Travel Insurance as it does not provide cove for such Benefits as Cancellation or Loss of Baggage or even Repatriation back to your home country.
