Going on a cruise is a fantastic way to see new parts of the world. Travel, accommodations, entertainment, and built-in itineraries all rolled up into one package. What a dream! If you’re planning on setting sail this season, make sure your trip is backed up with comprehensive coverage. Medical emergencies and trip cancellations can and do happen, even at sea, so it’s best to be prepared for the unexpected. Although many travellers assume that you need specific travel insurance catered to cruising, that’s a misconception. Read on to learn about how TuGo’s travel insurance can protect you on your next oceanic adventure.
Unexpected Medical Expenses
Cruising presents endless opportunities for both relaxation and adventure, and most of all, making lasting memories. So, focusing on your travels and making the most of your time should be the top priority. That’s why your travel insurance should provide ample emergency medical coverage. Eat something a little off and need to visit the doctor? Slip on the pool deck and sprain your ankle? Lose your prescription glasses on one of your stops and need some replacements? These scenarios, among many others, are things that could be covered with TuGo’s Emergency Medical Travel Insurance. In addition to helping you avoid paying unexpected medical fees, TuGo’s coverage also includes complimentary features such as TuGo Telemedicine and TuGo Emotional Assistance which help you to conveniently access reliable medical professionals, along with travel-related services like MyFlyt® and MySIM.
Trip Cancellations or Interruptions
A big part of the cruise experience is often making multiple stops. Regardless of whether those stops are a quick drift away or countries apart, timing is of the utmost importance. Missing a connection on the way to your port or having to spend some extra on dry land due to a medical condition can really throw a wrench in any itinerary. That’s why Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance is so important when it comes to cruise travel, especially given that cruise reservations are often non-refundable. Protect your next trip with TuGo’s Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption for the safety net you need.
Lost or Stolen Baggage
Having to replace your essentials can certainly be a hassle, and an expensive one at that. If you end up losing your baggage, Baggage Insurance can be the solution you need. TuGo’s Baggage Insurance can provide you with reimbursements for necessities, so you can get on with exploring the Big Blue, stress-free.
Whether you’re sailing through the picturesque Norwegian Fjords or island-hopping in the Mediterranean, ensure that your travels are protected with the right insurance for your needs. Interested in learning what kinds of cruises people are loving today? Check out our blog on current cruise trends.
