Whether you’re dreaming of setting sail to a tropical island or embarking on an epic voyage across the seven seas, there’s one thing you don’t want to leave on shore–your travel insurance! With Faye’s cruise coverage, you can focus on the sunshine and sea breeze while we handle any unexpected waves.
Why you need cruise insurance
A cruise isn’t your average vacation, and neither are the risks that can come with it. Travel insurance is essential when heading on a cruise or any other trip, as it can protect you from some of the unexpecteds. The most common reasons people choose to cover their cruises:
Health insurance may not cut it.
Even if you’re just doing a few days abroad, it’s unlikely your U.S. health insurance will cover you if you need medical assistance.
Traveling to and from the ship carries its own risks.
If you’ve got flights to catch and bags to lug on board, then there is always an added element of risk that something can go wrong, so thinking ahead and protecting every leg of your journey is suggested.
Emergency medical evacuation can be expensive.
If something serious and life-threatening happens and inadequate medical treatment is available in the area, you want to ensure that transportation can be covered.
Extreme weather happens.
During hurricane and typhoon season, you can book a cruise at excellent rates but if extreme weather does occur, it can completely derail your trip. Faye’s international plans can cover you if you need to be transported from a place of danger to a place of safety if you are in imminent physical danger due to a covered natural disaster event.
