Cruising around Europe? Be sure to pack your Travel Insurance.
Soon to set sail on a cruise around Europe? Our continent has a rich mix of cultures, historic sites, and delicious foods. Cruising around Europe can take you from the beautiful beaches of Greece to the stunning fjords of Scandinavia. As you travel from one amazing place to another, it’s crucial to remember one thing: Travel Insurance. At Just Travel Cover, we are a specialist Travel Insurance provider, comparing multiple insurers in one place and helping you find a policy that matches your unique needs. There’s cover for all ages, including those with pre-existing medical conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or embarking on your first voyage, you need to be protected.
Tailored Cover for All Ages
Our aim is to provide Travel Insurance that caters to individuals of all age groups and medical histories. Whether you’re travelling in your 20s or your 80s, we’ve got you covered. Our policies are tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring you have the necessary cover throughout your journey. Even if you have pre-existing medical conditions, our Travel Insurance can safeguard you, allowing you to embrace your European Cruise with peace of mind.
Benefits of Cruise Travel Insurance
Choosing a Cruise-specific Travel Insurance plan comes with a host of benefits. In addition to standard cover for trip cancellation, medical emergencies, and lost luggage, Cruise Travel Insurance can include benefits unique to cruising. Many of our insurers provide policies where you’ll be protected against missed port departure up to £1,500pp, cabin confinement up to £1,500pp, unused excursions up to £500pp, and itinerary changes up to £750pp. Cruise-specific Travel Insurance ensures that you’re prepared for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during your cruise.
Did you know that Spain tops the list for the most medical claims by UK travellers with over 20,000 cases? Greece and France also see a significant number of medical claims, showcasing the importance of reliable Cruise Travel Insurance. Emergency medical treatment can leave travellers with a jaw-dropping high bill to pay, especially as medical rates vary from country to country. One traveller visiting Spain required treatment for a kidney infection, which cost £15,000, but was fully covered by their Travel Insurance, saving them from an unexpected financial burden. Such real-life scenarios underscore the value of Cruise Travel Insurance, allowing you to enjoy your European Cruise with confidence.
Exploring Europe’s Gems on Shore Excursions
While cruising is undeniably incredible, shore excursions offer a chance to immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of European cities. From guided city tours to adventurous hiking and cycling expeditions, these excursions add an extra layer of excitement to your cruise experience. However, taking part in adventurous activities can come with risks, making Cruise Travel Insurance an essential safety net. In case of any accidents or emergencies during these activities, or theft, for example, your Travel Insurance has got your back.
Each of our policies includes an activity pack as standard (Pack A), offering cover for various amateur sports, beach games, canoeing, snorkelling, water skiing, and more. For added options, you have the choice to include Pack B to your policy for an extra premium, which provides cover for an even broader range of adventurous activities, including hiking, cycling, quad biking and more. When getting an online quote, you can easily review the activities covered under each pack by clicking the (i) buttons, helping you make an informed decision and select the most suitable cover for your holiday.
