Your cruise travel insurance checklist: know before you go
We’re just as excited for your holiday as you are! To ensure a smooth check-in, you’ll need to have your cruise travel insurance sorted before you embark. Having Cruise cover is a requirement for all our guests, so we’ve kept things simple. A digital or paper copy of your policy (clearly showing names and travel dates) is all we need to get you on your way at the terminal. Before you start packing, take a quick peek at your policy to make sure you’ve ticked these essential boxes:
- Cruise-specific cover: ensure your policy includes extras like missed ports or cabin confinement—this is a standard requirement for all guests.
- Full trip duration: double-check that your dates cover you from the moment you leave home until you return.
- Itinerary: make sure every destination on your cruise itinerary is included.
- Medical & repatriation: you must have at least £2 million in medical cover—this is a standard requirement for all guests to ensure you're protected throughout your voyage.
- Medical History: It’s important to declare any pre-existing medical conditions, as this can affect the validity of your insurance.
- Cancellation protection: Check the cancellation limit is enough to cover the total cost of your trip.
Top tip for managing your cruise insurance
- Keep your policy documents handy: store a digital copy on your phone or keep a print-out in your carry-on bag. Having your insurance policy number ready makes check-in at the terminal much faster than digging through old emails.
