Book Cruise Travel Insurance for your next holiday

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 comprehensive 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.

Whilst booking your cruise is an exciting prospect, we understand that finding a travel insurance policy that is both affordable and reliable, isn't always fun or top of your holiday to-do list. At Holiday Extras we aim to make this experience less about the hassle and more about the holiday for you - we provide comprehensive cover for your break at a competitive price. We've been awarded "Best Travel Insurance Provider" 14 years in a row at Globe Travel Awards.

We have over 30 trained insurance specialists, as well as an Insurance Support Page waiting to help you book the perfect cruise policy and answer any questions you may have.


Tailored cruise policies, for your personal needs

At Holiday Extras we have three levels of comprehensive cruise cover available for you - our Bronze, Silver and Gold policies. For a holiday at sea, travel insurance suitable for your cruise is essential in order to cover costs that may include changes to your cruise schedule, being confined to your cabin and any missed port departures or unused prepaid shore activities. It's also important to cover medical costs, lost baggage and unforeseen cancellations.
