Protect Your Vacation

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.

With over 40 years of travel planning behind us, we've seen it all. Below are some real reasons why the experts at CruiseInsider recommend investing in travel insurance:

• You fly to London but your bags fly to Lisbon.
• While trying the exotic local cuisine you suffer an allergic reaction.
• You're on your way home when the airline goes on strike.
• Your child gets sick before you leave and you need to cancel your trip.
• While walking Europe's cobblestone streets your spouse twists an ankle, and you need to find an English-speaking doctor.
• You get a call from home that your elderly parent is suddenly seriously ill.
• You missed your connection and are stuck in Boston, but your cruise leaves tomorrow…from Barcelona.
• You've lost important medication and need an emergency prescription filled.
• A hurricane forces you to cut your cruise short.
