Add Cruise Insurance Extras
Whether you’ve sailed the seas many times or are about to embark on your maiden voyage, you can add extra cover specifically designed for cruise holidays to any of our Single, Annual Multi or Backpacker Trip travel insurance policies so that you can set sail worry free.
Cruise cover will add extra protection for:
- Extended baggage cover up to £3,500
- Missed shore trips up to £500
- Cabin confinement (due to illness) up to £600
- Valuables up to £700
Please note: Our travel insurance policies with cruise cover last for a maximum of 45 days. If the duration of your cruise goes over this length then you will not be covered after the 45th day.
Don't worry about any illnesses or injuries you might pickup abroad. As our cruise cover is an addition to a standard single or annual trip policy, you can relax in the knowledge you're extensively covered from the day you book with Essential Travel to the day you return from your cruise.
You'll be covered to do over 100 sports and activities for FREE with the option to add additional cover for those riskier activities, once you get a quote.
To add the extra Cruise cover to your policy simply:
- Complete the quote form above
- Choose the level of cover you require
- Fill in your personal details
- Select the additional cruise cover
Only pay for the cover you need
You can customise your policy to suit your holiday with the choice of 4 cover levels and 4 areas of cover so that you only pay for the cover you need. You can also add extra protection for pre-existing medical conditions, sports, golf, cruises, business and weddings if you need it.
