Cruise Insurance: What you need to know about Cruise Travel Insurance
If you are thinking about undertaking a cruise, there is something you need to know about Cruise trips and travel insurance. Once your cruise ship has left port, you are no longer covered by medicare i.e unless you have purchased a specific cruise insurance policy, you are subject to paying full price for medical treatment in the case of something going wrong. Ideally your cruise insurance policy would include coverage for the following scenarios:

  • emergency hospital, dental& medical
  • evacuation
  • lost/misplaced luggage
  • lost or stolen credit cards and traveller’s cheques
  • travel delays or disruptions
  • permanent disability
  • loss of income

Select your travel region

Hints & Tips:

When making the region selection, choose the region where you will spend the majority of your trip and this will also cover you for all other areas you travel to.

For example, if you are spending 3 days in Singapore, 2 weeks in the UK and 4 weeks in Europe, select 'Europe' as your destination and you will be covered in Singapore and the UK also.

Cruise Insurance Customer Comments

Thanks for your email. We had no need to claim on our policy for our recent cruise through the South Pacific. We have used your service a number of times in recent years and have always found it a quick, easy and hassle-free way to organise our travel insurance.

Thankfully, we have had no reason to make a claim at any time. We will certainly continue using TID. In fact, we have recommended you to a number of friends who now use your service as well.

Thanks again, Andrew B
