Travel Insurance
Yikes, travel insurance is not a fun topic but a lot of you have asked…
This is what happens if you are paid, packed and ready to go… and there is a problem. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your upcoming trip. There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling. Travel insurance offers coverage for these unforeseen problems. You even have the option where you can cancel for any reason.
The biggest 2 reasons people take insurance are:
- Trip Cancellation
- Medical Expenses or Medical Evacuation
Full Ship charters are better than regular cruises in many ways, however, the penalties and potential for a loss if you have to cancel is higher. Shortly after final payment, most full ship charter cruises become non-refundable. That means if you have to cancel your trip not only do you have that disappointment of a canceled vacation, but I have to tell you that you don’t get your money back.
Our most popular insurance is ‘World Wide Trip Protector’ and provides full coverage when purchased up to 21 days after your vacation purchase.
The best value just to make sure you have coverage is ‘Trip Protector Lite Expanded.’
We recommend Travel Insured – Get a quote and buy insurance
