Cunard Specialist Cruise Travel Insurance

Holiday Extras: Insurance partner for Cunard

If you're going on a cruise holiday, we can help to make sure you're covered for activities both at sea and ashore. Our cruise policy offers extra cover for situations that would not normally be included in standard travel insurance. This includes things like missed ports, unused excursions and stateroom confinement. Get covered for your trip today and step aboard without a worry.


Optional wedding and civil partnership ceremony cover

Your wedding or civil partnership ceremony is one of the most memorable moments of your trip. For extra peace of mind, you can choose to add optional wedding and civil partnership ceremony cover to your travel insurance.

This optional cover can help protect some of the most important parts of your special day, including ceremonial clothing, rings and gifts. It can also provide cover if professional wedding photographs or videos need to be retaken or replaced following certain insured events.

It also extends your cancellation and curtailment cover to include your wedding or civil partnership ceremony, where applicable. Please refer to the policy wording for full terms, conditions, exclusions and cover limits.
