Travel Insurance for UK Cruises
A seacation offers the perfect escape for cruise lovers, with sailings around the UK providing the first class service, entertainment and food and drink that you would expect from a European or Carribean cruise, right here on British waters. Enjoy the breathaking scenery of the British Isles from the comfort of your Cruise ship or visit the historic cities of Liverpool, Belfast, Glasgow on a resort-style Seacation this summer.
Travel Insurance has become an essential requirement for Seacations, with many cruise lines asking for proof of cover before boarding, and specifically for £2m medical and repatriation cover. Many standard UK travel Insurance policies will not include that amount of medical cover, but at Just Travel Cover we have a dedicated Seacation Travel Insurance policy to provide the cover you need for complete peace of mind – there are additional cruise benefits too, including Cabin Confinement, for example if the medical officer confines you to your cabin if you fall ill on board.
Remember, if you need emergency medical treatment on board a cruise ship on UK waters your treatment is not covered by the NHS, so your Travel Insurance would pick up the bill. Plus, in the event of serious illness there may be a requirement for medical evacuation and ultimately, the cost of getting you home – all of which would be covered by your Seacation Travel Insurance.
Finally, don’t forget that Seacation Travel Insurance will also provide cancellation cover, should something go wrong before your trip*, as well as baggage cover and a host of other benefits.
