Travel insurance underwritten by AXA

Travel cover underwritten by Inter Partner Assistance S.A. UK (part of the AXA Group), so your claims are backed by one of the world's largest insurance groups.

Built for life on board

A cruise can bring a few risks an ordinary holiday doesn't, from a missed sailing to time confined to your cabin. Cruise Cover is the optional add-on built for exactly those situations.

Missed port cover

Protection if you miss a scheduled port departure through no fault of your own.

Cabin confinement

Cover if you're confined to your cabin on medical advice during the cruise.

Available on any policy

Add it to either a single trip or an annual multi-trip policy before you travel.

Many cruise lines require proof of adequate travel insurance before you're allowed to board, so it's worth buying your policy as soon as you've booked the trip.

Doctor Please!
