Holiday Extras: Insurance Partner for Cunard cruises with Medical Conditions

As the official insurance partner for Cunard, we provide cruise-specific cover – including missed ports, unused excursions and cabin confinement, as well as discreet screening for pre-existing conditions and 24/7 overseas medical assistance. Plus, our Black Friday Sale is now on! Save 10% on Cruise Travel Insurance when you book by midnight 4th December.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, this will need to be declared when you book so that we can make sure it's covered whilst you're away.

Your 10% discount applies directly to the main cost of your policy and any additional options added during the booking process. If you add cover for medical conditions, these specific charges will remain at their usual price.


Why choose Holiday Extras Travel Insurance?

At Holiday Extras, we offer flexible cover options to suit your individual needs for your Cunard Voyage – from medical and cancellation protection to specialist cruise cover such as missed ports, unused excursions and stateroom confinement.

All Holiday Extras policies meet the requirements stated by Cunard Cruises.


Specialist Cruise Insurance – what's new?

Our exclusive specialist cruise cover goes beyond our standard cruise insurance with higher limits on key areas and brand-new cruise benefits. Take a look at the key differences below:


  • Higher cancellation limits - you can now claim up to 65k in cancellation cover.**

  • Missed Embarkation - covers you if you've already left the UK and miss your cruise departure for reasons stated in the policy.

  • Cruise Interruption - covers your travel and accommodation costs if you have to leave the ship for hospital treatment and then need to re-join the cruise.

  • Extended trip duration - gives you the option to extend your trip duration on annual multi-trip policies for up to 45, 60 and 90 days per trip.

In addition, you'll benefit from higher cover limits for curtailment and baggage delay, along with extra protection for pet care and hijack.
