I’ve booked a cruise for 2025 how do I get insurance to cover the large deposit I have paid. I currently have European cover with my bank but it’s a world cruise so I know I need worldcruise cover but not sure how to get advanced insurance thanks

  • It is never a good idea to book a holiday before finding out your insurance needs and status. 

    What if you can't get insurance (health preconditions)?  You could loose your deposit.

    Plenty of of insurance comparison websites if you don't have health preconditions or need insurance for specific risky activities, check the terms of offered policies to see if they have any specific terms for cruises. 

    Annual worldwide may be cheaper, depending on length of cruise or whether you will do another worldwide holiday within the year.
