Travel Protection
Travel Insurance for Cruisers
Protect your voyage before you ever leave the dock. We'll help you find the right coverage for every sailing.
Why Travel Insurance Matters on a Cruise
A cruise is one of the most exciting vacations you can take — and one of the most important to protect. Unlike a hotel stay, a cruise involves a fixed departure date, international waters, remote ports of call, and limited access to emergency medical care. If something goes wrong, the costs can be significant.
At Craig Cruises LLC, we strongly recommend travel insurance for every client, every sailing. We'll help you understand your options and find a policy that fits your trip and your budget — so you can board with total peace of mind.
What a Good Policy Covers
Comprehensive cruise travel insurance typically includes these key protections.
Trip Cancellation & Interruption
Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs if you need to cancel or cut your trip short due to a covered reason such as illness, injury, a family emergency, or severe weather.
Emergency Medical Coverage
Covers medical expenses incurred while traveling, including onboard medical center visits, hospital stays at a port of call, and treatment for unexpected illness or injury far from home.
Medical Evacuation
Pays for emergency evacuation to the nearest adequate medical facility or back home if you suffer a serious medical emergency at sea or in a foreign port. This can cost tens of thousands of dollars without coverage.
Baggage Loss & Delay
Provides reimbursement if your luggage is lost, stolen, or damaged during your trip, and covers essential purchases if your bags are delayed and you need items to get by.
Travel Delay
Covers additional accommodation, meals, and transportation costs if your trip is delayed due to a covered reason such as a flight cancellation, mechanical breakdown, or severe weather.
Missed Port of Call
Some cruise-specific policies reimburse prepaid shore excursion costs if your ship skips a scheduled port of call due to weather or other covered circumstances.

Smart Tips Before You Buy
- ✓
Purchase your policy soon after making your initial deposit — some coverages like pre-existing condition waivers require early enrollment.
- ✓
Make sure your policy includes medical evacuation from international waters — standard health insurance often does not cover this.
- ✓
Check whether your credit card offers any travel protection and understand its limits before assuming you're covered.
- ✓
"Cancel for any reason" (CFAR) upgrades offer the most flexibility but must typically be purchased within 14–21 days of your initial deposit.
- ✓
Insure the full non-refundable cost of your trip, including flights, hotel stays, and pre-paid excursions — not just the cruise fare.
