What's covered with ABTA Travel Insurance cruise cover?

ABTA Travel Insurance cruise cover includes:

Missed departure

• ✓ Should you miss a departure at the beginning or during your cruise due to a vehicle breakdown, public transport cancellation, adverse weather conditions or strike action, you will be covered for accommodation and transport costs to re-join the cruise at the next port.

Cabin confinement

• ✓ No one wants to get ill on holiday, but if you fall ill onboard, you may be confined to the cabin by the ship's medical officer to stop others on the cruise from getting sick. With the cabin confinement cover, you will be compensated for the days of the cruise you miss.

Cruise itinerary change

• ✓ Sometimes, on a cruise the captain must make changes to the itinerary that was planned due to adverse weather or timetable restrictions. Should this happen, you will receive compensation for this change if an alternative port is not offered.

Cruise interruption

• ✓ If you become ill and need hospital treatment on land, cruise interruption cover will cover costs for additional accommodation and travel to rejoin the cruise at the next port.

Unused excursion

• ✓ If you are confined to your cabin and miss a pre-booked ship excursion, you will be reimbursed for the trip.
