Book Cruise Travel Insurance for your next holiday from just *
Cruise travel insurance is a specific policy that covers the activities and risks more likely to be associated with a cruise holiday. This may include cover for missed port departures and cabin confinement which would not be included in most standard travel insurance packages.
Whether you are looking to purchase cover for your whole family, for seniors, or simply enough cover to enjoy a bit of scuba diving with your partner whilst you're away, it's important to plan ahead and buy the right travel insurance for your particular needs. At Holiday Extras, we offer dedicated cruise insurance policies to help ensure you have a tranquil, stress-free time at sea.
"Protecting you and your trip has always been our priority. With three levels of cover to suit you and your trip and 24/7 support, it's never been easier to enjoy your holiday, hassle-free."
Alice Lawson, Associate Director of Holiday Extras Cover

Cruise travel insurance reviews
The experience was great. Ella put me at ease from the very beginning. She was very engaging and explained points to me when I asked. Very nicely spoken and very understanding. She explained about yearly cover and cover inclusive of a cruise. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks Ella.

I needed to add cruise cover to my existing policy and my credit card had changed. Deborah was so helpful, all changes made with efficiency and a great sense of humour. Email confirmation received immediately. Thank you!
Sonia - ★★★★★
The girl I spoke to was, efficient, friendly and very helpful. This company is very fair with existing medical conditions. I had to claim last year after missing a cruise due to covid, I didn't have any problems , it was quick and painless, very professional. I will continue to use Holiday Extras in the future.
Margaret - ★★★★★
Obviously this was an unusual experience for us as it's our first cruise.
The English language used by Cunard was very strong and we feared not having proper insurance for the trip or even the risk of not being allowed on the ship. Michelle was extremely patient ,professional and made us feel at ease. She is a very good advert for your business and experienced in giving customers what is best for them without pressure. Very proficient lady.
