1. If your cruise is cut short or canceled due to a hurricane or other unforeseen event, trip delay or cancellation insurance can recover your costs and get you home without hassle.
2. A medical emergency on a cruise may require being transported off the ship
to the nearest facility or even being flown back home. Medical evacuation and repatriation coverage includes those expenses that can add up.
3. As you sail to multiple ports of call, your passport or other official ID is an essential part of the journey. If lost, a travel insurance specialist can provide necessary support to replace your important documents no matter where you are in the world.
4. While we recommend flying into your departure port at least one day before your ship sets sail, we know that delays happen. Should you miss embarkation, an insurance plan can cover the out of pocket expenses to connect with your ship in another port. Don’t take a chance.
5. Unlike a hotel, where delayed luggage can be delivered during your stay, a cruise ship is always on the move. If your bags don’t make it on the ship, insurance can cover the costs of replacing personal items for your trip.

Family of 6, flight cancelled, the ship sailed without them. Wasted $45,000.

To protect your clients vacation, and investment always make clients buy travel insurance.
Always have every one who refuses to buy travel insurance sign a waiver so you can prove they were told about it. That protects you.
