Required Cover for Viking Cruise
Suitable to Cover Cruises: It’s important to ensure your Travel Insurance policy explicitly includes cover for cruise holidays. Traditional Travel Insurance might not cover specific incidents related to cruises, potentially leaving you unprotected. When obtaining a quote with us, make sure to answer ‘yes’ to the cruise question.
Full Trip and All Destinations: Your Cruise Travel Insurance should cover the entire duration of your Viking cruise, including any pre- or post-cruise stays and all destinations on your itinerary. Declare each country on your policy as medical costs can vary significantly by location.
Emergency Medical Expenses: Viking Cruises recommends having a minimum of £75,000 for medical expenses and £250,000 for emergency medical evacuation. Just Travel Cover can offer up to £15,000,000 for medical expenses, ensuring substantial protection during your cruise.
Pre-Existing Conditions: It’s essential to declare any pre-existing medical conditions to ensure they are covered. Failure to do so may result in denied claims and significant out-of-pocket expenses.
Cancellation Cover: Adequate cancellation cover is vital to protect the cost of your Viking Cruise. At Just Travel Cover, we offer cancellation cover up to £12,500 per person as standard, with options to increase up to £50,000 through a phone-only policy. Considering the cost of Viking cruises, which can vary significantly, having ample cancellation cover is crucial.
Proof of Cruise Insurance: Always carry proof of your Travel Insurance, either printed or digital, to present if requested during your trip. Viking recommends carrying your Cruise Travel Insurance documents in your hand luggage, especially if you are travelling by air before embarking on your cruise.
