Getting to the ship

Compare delay and missed-connection rules, especially if flights are booked separately from the cruise or arrive on embarkation day.

Medical care at sea and in port

Check emergency medical and evacuation benefits, assistance coordination, payment expectations and whether your regular health coverage works outside the United States.

Cruise interruption

Read how the policy handles an early return, missed cruise days, additional transportation and unused prepaid arrangements after a covered event.

Weather and supplier issues

Separate travel-insurance covered reasons from a cruise line’s own refund, credit or itinerary-change policies.
