Celebrity Cruises Travel Insurance Requirements
Secure the Right Cover for Your Celebrity Cruise
Stepping on board a Celebrity Cruise promises an exceptional blend of luxury, adventure, and world-class service. Celebrity Cruises offers a variety of itineraries, including iconic Caribbean cruises, journeys to the private island of CocoCay, and culturally rich Europe cruises. Cruises range from short getaways to extended explorations. To ensure peace of mind during your cruise, it is essential to have the right Cruise Travel Insurance. Here’s an overview of the insurance requirements for Celebrity Cruises and how Just Travel Cover can meet them.
Required Cover for Celebrity Cruises
Suitable to Cover Cruises: Ensure your Travel Insurance explicitly covers cruise holidays, as standard policies might not cover incidents unique to cruises. Celebrity Cruises lists Travel Insurance as mandatory when travelling. When obtaining a quote with Just Travel Cover, it is as easy as saying ‘YES’ to the cruise question. We will only show you policies that can cover your Celebrity Cruise, however, please ensure that you select a cover that is suitable for you, checking for any cruise specific benefits you may require.
Full Trip and All Destinations: Make sure your Cruise Travel Insurance covers the entire duration of your cruise, including any pre- or post-cruise stays and all destinations on your itinerary. Substantial cover is essential, as medical costs can vary significantly by country and you will not be covered without insurance.
Emergency Medical Expenses: Celebrity Cruises recommends substantial cover for medical expenses and emergency evacuations, at least £20,000 for medical expenses, £50,000 for emergency evacuation, and £25,000 for repatriation of remains. At Just Travel Cover, we offer cover up to £15,000,000 for emergency medical and associated expenses, including repatriation.
Pre-Existing Conditions: It is crucial to declare any pre-existing medical conditions when securing your Cruise Travel Insurance. Failure to declare pre-existing medical conditions can affect your ability to make a claim under all, or part of, the policy during your Celebrity Cruise.
Cancellation Cover: Adequate cancellation cover that covers at least the cost of your trip is recommended, especially for high-value and premium cruises offered by Celebrity Cruises. Ensure you secure your cancellation cover early by purchasing your Cruise Travel Insurance as soon as possible after booking your Celebrity Cruise.
Proof of Cruise Insurance: Celebrity Cruises advises carrying proof of your travel insurance, either printed or digital, to present if requested.
