Helping Canadians Set Sail - Safely
Cruise vacations are becoming increasingly popular - and it’s not hard to see why. Cruises often require minimal planning, and they allow travellers to discover new places with ease. If you’re setting sail on your next getaway, it’s worth considering protecting yourself and your trip investment. After all, cruise travel insurance coverage can help you sail into the sunset knowing you have access to emergency assistance and financial help should an incident occur.
Top Travel Insurance Benefits for Cruises
Emergency Medical Expenses and Evacuation
Cover for Cancellations, Interruptions and Delays
Protection Both On and Off the Ship
Why should I buy travel insurance with cruise coverage?
A cruise vacation is often a big investment, so financial protection against unexpected trip cancellation scenarios is often important for Canadian travellers. Cruise ships can also take travellers on routes far from the safety of mainland hospitals, meaning sometimes medical evacuations are required for travellers to access adequate medical care. The right travel insurance policy can help support cruise travellers in these ways and more.
Still considering if cruise travel insurance coverage is worth it? Even though cruises are often easy-to-plan vacations, they’re not without their risks. While you’re on your cruise, you may encounter more interruptions or delays because of the nature of docking at numerous ports, which could lead to missed connections, misplaced belongings, and missed bookings.
