An
illness, an accident or an unexpected situation can arise
before or during any type of vacation. Such an event might
cause you to cut short your cruise or cause your trip to be
canceled altogether. Unfortunately, most cruise lines impose
penalties for canceling a cruise within 60 days of departure,
up to and including loss of the entire cruise price. A few
lines penalize for cancellations as much as 90 or 120 days
in advance of departure.
Because a cruise is a significant investment, most cruise
lines offer some form of insurance to protect their passengers
from financial loss in the event of an emergency. Details
and prices vary from cruise line to cruise line, as do coverage
limits and exclusions.
If you decide to purchase insurance, you will have two options,
to go with the cruise line's plan or to use our independent
insurance provider, Travel Guard International. Use the link
below to compare policies and prices.
Insurance Coverage and availability may not apply to people
living outside the U.S. and Canada.
For
more information or a complete copy of a policy, ask your
Cruise & Travel Connection cruise counselor.
