Why You Need Cruise Travel Insurance

Cruise holidays are wonderfully unique, but they can involve risks that ordinary travel insurance doesn’t cover. From medical emergencies on board to missed port departures and itinerary changes, a dedicated cruise travel insurance policy protects you against unforeseen costs while you’re enjoying the journey.

Tailored Cover for Seniors and Over-65 Travellers

Travelling later in life should be about enjoyment — not worrying about “what ifs.” That’s why our cruise travel insurance for seniors and over 65s is crafted to meet your needs:

  • No age barriers on single trips — Travel insurance for cruise trips up to 93 days with no upper age limit

  • Emergency medical and repatriation cover — Essential cover when you need it most, including medical evacuation if required

  • Pre-existing condition support — Most medical conditions are accepted with straightforward screening

  • 24/7 Assistance — Help is just a phone call away, any time, wherever you are in the world

This means that if you’re cruising the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Baltic capitals, or heading on a world cruise around the globe, you’ll have cover tailored to your lifestyle and itinerary.

What’s Included in Your Cruise Cover

Choosing the right cruise travel insurance means picking up benefits that matter on the water:

Medical and Emergency Support

  • Worldwide cover for treatment and repatriation

  • 24/7 medical helpline and support

Cruise-Specific Protections

  • Missed departures or missed ports – costs if you can’t join your ship on time

  • Itinerary disruptions – when weather, mechanical issues or changes affect your schedule

  • Cabin confinement – financial support if illness keeps you in your cabin (exact benefits vary by policy level)

These cruise-centric benefits sit alongside all the core protections of a quality travel insurance policy, such as cancellation cover, lost baggage protection, and more.
