Cruise Travel Insurance for Over 60s FAQs

Do I need cruise-specific insurance if I’m over 60?

Yes. If you’re over 60 and are going on a cruise, you’ll need cruise-specific Travel Insurance. This is a mandatory requirement for some cruise lines, meaning you’ll need to have the appropriate insurance in place in order to board the ship. Having cruise-specific insurance is especially beneficial if you are over 60 and have any pre-existing medical conditions. This is to prevent you from paying costly medical bills abroad if you need to receive medical treatment in an emergency, be repatriated home, or need to cancel your trip altogether due to unexpected circumstances.
