Your cruise vacation is a voyage of a lifetime. It's truly a major investment, and protecting this investment is an important step in travel planning.
Covering everything from accidents to air-travel mishaps, travel protection gives you peace of mind that the money you’ve spent on your vacation isn’t lost if you don't end up going or if something goes wrong along the way.
Why Invest in Travel Insurance?
Your vacation time—both the planning and the trip itself—are too valuable to gamble on. The smart move is to be prepared by protecting your investment and your health with a good travel insurance plan. Sure, you'll spend a little bit more, but the value goes a very long way.
Insider Tip: While rates and plans vary based on your age, trip details, and any pre-existing conditions, most plans cost between 4-8% of the total trip cost - mere dollars per day that translates into priceless peace of mind.
