Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Insurance with Cruise Cover

Our holiday insurance including cruise cover is designed for travellers with pre-existing medical conditions. Below are examples of complex and ongoing conditions we have covered before:
- Heart & Circulatory conditions: e.g. High Blood Pressure, Angina, Heart Attack, Atrial Fibrillation
- Chronic illnesses: e.g. Asthma, COPD, Diabetes, Kidney Conditions

When getting your holiday insurance including cruise cover, it’s important that you declare all medical conditions during the medical screening process. This is to ensure that you get the appropriate cover and your policy remains valid.
2. Does Travel Insurance Cover Cruises on Rivers and at Sea?
Yes, Able2Travel travel insurance covers both ocean and river cruises, so you can travel with confidence whether you’re sailing the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic or exploring Europe’s rivers. For cruise-specific risks you should consider adding optional cruise cover to your policy.
3. Which Types of Holiday Insurance Can I Add Cruise Cover To?
We offer two types of holiday insurance with cruise cover, depending on how often you travel. You can add our optional cruise cover to both policy types:
- Single Trip Holiday Insurance with Cruise Cover – Ideal if you’re planning one cruise holiday.
- Annual Holiday Insurance with Cruise Cover – Suitable if you take multiple trips within a 12-month period.
4. Why Choose Annual Travel Insurance Including Cruise Cover Instead of Single Trip?
Annual travel insurance with cruise cover can be more cost-effective if you plan to take more than one cruise within a 12-month period. Instead of arranging separate single trip policies for each holiday, you’re covered under one annual multi-trip travel insurance with cruise cover.
This also means you only complete the medical screening process once, unless your medical circumstances change. The policy then applies to every cruise holiday you take during the year.
5. How much is Cruise Travel Insurance Cover?
There isn’t a single fixed cost for cruise travel insurance cover, as the price depends on several factors, including:
- The destination and cruise duration
- The overall value of your cruise and any pre-booked excursions
- Your age and the ages of those included on the policy
- Any medical conditions you need to declare
