Cruise travel insurance can protect you from medical emergencies, trip cancellations, flight delays, lost luggage, and costly medical evacuation. We explain cruise insurance, private travel insurance, and what to look for before you sail. After the recent cancellation of a Serenade of the Seas Alaska cruise, we started thinking about just how quickly a vacation can go wrong. In this video, we break down the biggest reasons cruisers should consider travel insurance, including trip cancellation and interruption, medical emergencies at sea, emergency medical evacuation, flight delays, missed connections, and lost or delayed baggage. We also look at real examples, including a cruise passenger who faced a medical bill of more than $47,000, and why medical evacuation coverage can be one of the most important parts of a travel insurance policy. We share our own experience getting stranded in Montreal for several days after flight problems while returning home from Europe. Our travel insurance reimbursed covered expenses including meals and other costs, while members of our group also dealt with lost luggage. We also compare cruise-line travel insurance vs. private travel insurance, explain why we use an annual Allianz travel insurance plan, and give you five important questions to ask before buying any policy. Topics covered include: Cruise travel insurance Cruise medical insurance Trip cancellation and interruption Emergency medical evacuation Flight delays and missed connections Lost and delayed luggage Cruise-line insurance vs. private insurance Annual travel insurance Pre-existing condition rules Travel insurance coverage limits Travel insurance policies vary, so always read the actual policy details, exclusions, limits, and covered reasons before purchasing. If you’ve ever filed a travel insurance claim, let us know in the comments what happened and whether your insurance company paid. Thanks for watching, and Happy Cruising!
