Get a quote Add our Cruise Cover to your policy for added protection If you’re off sailing the seven seas, make sure you’re not left high and dry with Cruise Cover. It’s there to help if you find yourself all at sea, need emergency treatment on-board or in-harbour or if you need to re-join the ship because an illness or lost passport keep you briefly ashore. Don’t find yourself washed up if you miss the beginning of your trip due to breakdown or traffic, and make sure you look ship-shape and Bristol fashion if you need assistance to find alternative evening wear. Our Cruise Cover can be added for an additional premium. Get a quote What’s covered? Terms and conditions apply. Please see policy wording for full details. Missed departure If your car breaks down or your train gets cancelled and you can’t make your departure, we can have you covered. Cruise interuption We will pay travel and accommodation expenses incurred to reach the next port in order to re-join the cruise should you require hospital treatment on dry land or your passport has been lost after departure. Missed Port You carefully select which destination you wish to visit on your Cruise. Sometimes the captain has to make changes to the itinerary and you miss a port. We can help to compensate you. Cabin Confinement Being taken ill on board is never nice. To prevent everyone getting sick, the captain may confine you to your cabin for your well being. If it happens, we can help compensate you. Unused Pre-booked Excursion Cover If you’re confined to your cabin due to illness or injury and this means that you don’t go on a planned excursion, we can help you recuperate costs. Increased personal baggage limits On a cruise, you could be away for a while. So you’ll need more in your luggage. Luckily, we’ve increased the amount we’ll cover for cruises, so go ahead and pack that extra pair of shoes. Don’t miss the boat Remind yourself how much a cruise holiday costs. It's typically more expensive than a standard trip. A voyage tends to last longer than most holidays too. That's why a cruise holiday carries its own particular risks, and Cruise Cover is there in case the unexpected should happen. We don’t like to think about what could go wrong, but cruises can have their own, unexpected upsets. Getting ill at sea might mean you're treated on board at first, and you might need emergency evacuation back to shore. Cruise insurance is there to help. Why choose Post Office?
