Do I need travel insurance if I’m going on a cruise?

Cruises are one of the easiest ways to see multiple destinations in one trip, but they also come with a lot of prepaid costs: cruise fare, flights, hotels, excursions, tours, and transportation. If something unexpected happens before you leave or while you’re away, those costs can be hard to recover without the right coverage. 

Trip cancellation coverage helps protect your prepaid, non-refundable trip investment if your plans are canceled, delayed, or interrupted for a covered reason. It can also help with travel medical coverage in U.S. waters or "domestic" destinations like Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. International travel medical coverage helps protect you if you get sick or injured, or need emergency medical care while traveling internationally. 

Whether you’re setting sail, boarding a plane, or exploring a new country, MissionSafe can help you think through the coverage that fits your trip.

Why Trip Cancellation Coverage

Trip cancellation coverage helps protect the money you have already spent on your trip. If you need to cancel, delay, or interrupt your trip for a covered reason, this coverage may help reimburse eligible prepaid, non-refundable costs. This can be especially helpful for cruises because so much of the trip is often paid in advance, including the cruise fare, flights, hotels, excursions, and add-on experiences.

Trip cancellation plans offer travel medical benefits. These can apply both internationally and in U.S. waters or "domestic" destinations like Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Why International Medical Coverage

Adding international travel coverage is a good idea if your travels take you into international waters or foreign ports and countries. Domestic medical coverage may be limited or unavailable outside the U.S and in international waters. A doctor visit onboard, care in a foreign port, emergency transportation, or follow-up treatment can quickly become confusing and expensive.

Travel medical coverage is designed for the unexpected health needs that can happen while you’re away from home. For cruise travelers, this may include illness or injury onboard, medical care in an international port, emergency coordination, or transportation support. These plans offer higher coverage amounts and more benefits than the travel medical included in trip cancellation plans.
