With destinations ranging from the sun-soaked Caribbean to the icy wonders of Alaska, and from the historic cities of Europe to the exotic locales of the South Pacific, there’s a perfect cruise for everyone.

Required Cover for a Royal Caribbean Cruise
Explicit Cruise Cover: Ensure that your Travel Insurance explicitly covers cruise holidays. General Travel Insurance might exclude cruise-related incidents.
Tip: always answer yes to the cruise question, and ensure “cruise cover” is mentioned on your schedule.
Cover for Entire Trip Duration and All Destinations: Your Royal Caribbean Cruise Travel Insurance should cover the full duration of your cruise, including any pre-and post-cruise stays. Additionally, you must declare all destinations in your itinerary as each country’s medical rating differs.
Medical and Repatriation Cover: Royal Caribbean requires a minimum of £2 million for medical expenses and emergency evacuations, ensuring you are protected in case of medical emergencies during your cruise.
Pre-Existing Conditions: Declare any pre-existing medical conditions to ensure they are fully covered. If you do not declare any pre-existing medical conditions, you could end up paying out of pocket.
Cancellation Cover: Adequate cancellation cover is crucial, especially for high-value cruises, protecting you financially if you need to cancel your trip for an insured reason.
Proof of Insurance: Royal Caribbean mandates passengers to confirm appropriate Cruise Travel Insurance before boarding. Carry a printed or digital copy of your insurance documentation to present at the terminal if needed.
Tip: print your documents at home or create an online account where you can access them if required.
