That's why we offer Optional Cruise Cover, which can be seamlessly added to your Voyager Plus Travel Insurance plan. This extra layer of protection ensures you’re covered for any unexpected situations—both on board and ashore—so you can set sail with confidence, knowing you’re fully prepared for any adventure.

Why You Need Travel Insurance with Cruise Cover?
Booking your dream cruise? There’s one thing you shouldn't overlook: travel insurance with cruise cover. Many cruise operators now require this coverage, and for good reason. If you fall ill or need emergency medical treatment during your cruise, the onboard medical centre can come with steep fees—this care is not included in your fare and can quickly rack up significant costs. In fact, some cruise lines won’t let you board without proof of insurance.
But it's not just about meeting operator requirements, consider the unexpected. If a medical emergency forces you to be airlifted to the nearest hospital, the costs can be astronomical. Or imagine if your trip gets disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances like bad weather or missed ports, without the right insurance, you're left bearing those costs.
Buying Travel insurance with cruise cover isn’t just about compliance; it's about protecting yourself, your wallet, and your peace of mind so you can truly relax and enjoy your cruise experience.
