Cruise with Confidence with Appropriate Coverage
Filed Under: Blogging

When you’re booking an international cruise, chances are that your cruise operator will also offer international travel insurance for the duration of the cruise as a “package deal.” Be aware that this coverage may not be adequate to meet your needs.
What’s more, these plans are usually more expensive than other outside travel insurance plans. It is also reported that it is tougher to get reimbursed for expenses if insurance is purchased through the cruise operator. To avoid the unnecessary expenses that might arise, it is best to purchase trip cancellation and medical insurance plans elsewhere.
One such plan that offers comprehensive trip cancellation and medical benefits is the Cruise, Tour and Travel plan offered by Travel Guard. The plan offers trip cancellation and trip interruption benefits, along with trip delay and missed connection benefits as well.
Other coverage that the plan offers includes medical expenses up to a limit of $50,000, and emergency medical evacuation and accidental death and dismemberment benefits. The plan also covers baggage loss, as well as personal effects, whether borrowed or rented. The plan also offers optional “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage and car rental collision coverage.
