Cruise Insurance for two adults & two children

Please could someone give me some advice where to get good insurance for a cruise to Spain/Portugal/Canary Islands/Madeira for two adults and two children (preferrably with the excess waiver option).

In the past I have used M&S insurance but this year the same policy appears to be about £20 dearer.

Many thanks

    You don't say whether you want single trip or annual cover. If you go more than once a yera, then annual is usually cheaper. I have used Atlas Direct for the last two years and whilst I haven't had to make a claim, you do have the option to purchase the excess waiver scheme. You can find them at http://www.atlasdirect.net/index.aspn

    Sorry, I should have said it was a single trip policy I was looking for, my husband is a farmer so I have to make the most of the two weeks holiday he takes each year!

    Hi there

    Lucky you... going on a cruise. We went on one to the caribbean with Royal Carribbean last year. Best holiday I have ever had.

    We got our insurance through Travel Insurance Web - http://www.travelinsuranceweb.com/?vrid=2&sourceCode=OMGAFF
    they were the cheapest by quite some amount.
    Also, becuase we were looking for cruise insurance, I was very fussy over which one we took.

    Have a lovely holiday.

    well, you could still try Atlas. Hope you have agreat cruise. We are dedicated cruisers and try to go at least twice if not three times per year.

    I have booked insurance using this site:

    It's also for a cruise (Northern Europe) for 2 weeks for 2 adults and 2 children. I paid £21.82 but did not waive the excess (£75 I think).

    Andrew.
