Cruising Travel Insurance

You may have only been on the odd day cruise to a local island or you may be an avid sailor intent on sailing the seven seas. Either way, sailing is one of the best ways to see the globe because, as you probably know, seventy percent of earth's surface is covered in water. You could even argue that it's necessary to do a fair amount of cruising before you can claim to have travelled the globe. Seeing the world by water opens your eyes to an entirely different existence, where constant motion under your feet is part and parcel of daily life and the weather can dictate your every move.

Cruise Travel Insurance, offered by Essential Travel and underwritten by White Horse Insurance, can provide you with a sense of security when you're about to enter into the unknown. What you'll probably encounter is a school of playful dolphins, turquoise waters and an endless choice of sandy beaches. But just in case, we'd like to offer you the chance to take out up to £10 million medical cover, £3,000 in cancellation cover, £20,000 in personal accident cover and much more for your cruise holiday.

What level of cover should I choose for Cruise Travel Insurance?

Are you keen to take a twilight sailing cruise in Sydney harbour or do a day trip to one of Turkey's Princess Islands? If you decide to be a passenger on a boating or pleasure cruise, our standard policy is all you really need to ensure you're covered on your journey. You can also choose to upgrade to our best selling Superior policy for a small additional premium and enjoy more generous levels of cover.

Hazardous sports cover

Calling all passengers: If you're a little more adventurous and would like to venture further afield or indulge in a yachting holiday, we also offer a travel insurance package for your protection:

• All our policies automatically cover you for sailing within territorial waters (or sailing within 15 miles of the coast) by awarding you Grade 1 sports protection.
• However, we can offer you Grade 3 hazardous sports cover for a small additional fee for sailing in non-territorial waters.
• Grade 3 cover is available as an optional extra that you can add onto your premium before payment.
• Please note that these policies only apply to passengers and not skippers on yachts.

Get covered with Essential Travel and Cruise Travel Insurance in a few easy steps to ensure that your trip is plain sailing from the word go.
