Cruise holidays are popular with people of all ages, and it’s never been more important that your travel insurance provides you with the correct cover for your holiday.

From the Caribbean to Europe, whatever your destination, you can tailor your policy to include this add-on so you can enjoy your travels without worry.

As cruise holidays cover many different destinations, ensure that your policy covers you for all the countries you’re visiting, even if you’re only visiting for one day.

Many cruise ships and travel agents will require you to have adequate travel insurance cover in place before you board, so you may want to think about purchasing your policy as soon after you book your trip as possible.
