Setting Sail? Don’t Forget Cruise Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance is a crucial part of any trip – especially Cruise holidays. If something goes wrong, either onboard the ship or before you depart, Cruise Travel Insurance can cover you against the unforeseen.

At Just Travel Cover, you can compare multiple specialist insurers and prices to find suitable cover catered to your specific needs and the needs of cruise travel, including things like missed port departure and cabin confinement cover, which are benefits included on some policies. Most of our Cruise Travel Insurance providers will offer cover for cancellation, loss of possessions and the cost of emergency medical treatment – this might involve transport to an on-land hospital for care. Cruise Travel Insurance will also cover repatriation, which is the costs associated with getting you back to the UK, for example, if a medical emergency results in you missing the remainder of your cruise and the scheduled return home.

Pre Existing Medical Condition Travel Insurance for a Cruise

Our Cruise Travel Insurance has no age limit, although this does depend on where you’re going, your age and for how long. The policies include cover for hundreds of Pre-existing Medical Conditions, and if you are visiting multiple destinations while away, they are included in our Cruise Travel Insurance policies, as well as the flight element.

Sometimes, you may be denied boarding at your own expense if you do not arrange insurance. Use our checklists below to find out what is covered by our policies.

Cruise Travel Insurance FAQs

Frequently asked questions about our Cruise Travel Insurance policies.

What is cruise insurance?

Cruise Travel Insurance will provide protection for things that might go wrong on the run-up to your cruise, or while you’re on board.

What does Cruise Travel Insurance cover?

You may need to cancel your cruise because of a medical emergency or the death of a loved one, or you may need emergency medical treatment onboard. Cruise Travel Insurance will cover costs if you need transportation to a hospital on land and treatment in a foreign hospital. There are also additional benefits with some insurers, including cabin confinement and cruise interruption cover, for example, if you need treatment on dry land but are then passed well enough to join your cruise.

Do your cruise policies cover Covid-19?

Most of our policies provide cover against the threat of Coronavirus. This includes cover if you need to cancel your cruise because you test positive in the 14 days leading up to your cruise, or if you test positive and become ill whilst on holiday. If you do become ill with Covid-19 on holiday you will be covered under the emergency medical expense section of your Cruise Travel Insurance policy. If you need to extend your stay in a particular destination or need to quarantine, most insurers will provide cover if deemed medically necessary. Terms and limits apply.

 

Where can I go with cruise insurance?

Cruises are a great way to see multiple destinations in a short space of time. Whether you’re sailing around the UK, exploring Europe’s gems or discovering the beauty of the Caribbean, you will still need Cruise Travel Insurance. Please note you will need to tell us every country you are travelling to, as the cost of medical treatment varies from country to country.

Do pre-existing medical conditions affect the cost of cruise insurance?

You should declare all pre-existing medical conditions when arranging Travel Insurance for your cruise. The policy will then cover the cost of care for any medical condition you have had in the past or suffer from now. The cost of insurance depends on a number of factors, including your age, destination, trip length and medical history.

How much does cruise insurance cost?

The price you pay for your Cruise Travel Insurance is unique to your own circumstances and calculated taking a range of factors into account, including where you are going, for how long and your age and medical history – it will also depend on how much cover you want for things like cancellation and medical cover. For example, if you’re going on a cruise that costs £2,000 each, you will only need £5,000 cancellation cover, but if your cruise costs £25,000, you will want to ensure that it is protected with more cancellation cover. We will compare a range of insurers to find the best deal for your own circumstances.

Can you go on a cruise with a heart condition?

It’s important to declare if you’ve ever had a heart condition before you confirm your Cruise Travel Insurance so you’re properly covered when you’re away. Just Travel Cover offers Cruise Travel Insurance for heart conditions, including previous heart attacks, heart failure and heart disease.

We know it can sometimes be problematic or expensive to find appropriate cover, which is why we work with specialist insurers to help you find the right Travel Insurance for your cruise – just follow the online medical screening questions or give us a call and we will guide you through the process.

Is cruise insurance with no upper age limit more expensive?
