Caser’s cruise insurance coverage and a step-by-step guide to buy

Cruises are a fun and cost-effective way to explore several countries or regions at once. While aboard, cruise accommodations, meals, and entertainment are often all-inclusive, and you’ll have a wide range of day trips, tours, and excursions planned for the duration of your cruise. Whether you’re going on a couples cruise, cruise for the whole family, or a cruise with a group of your best friends, you don’t want weeks or even months of planning to go to waste because of unforeseen circumstances or complications. 

Besides cancellation of your cruise or excursions, common accidents that may occur onboard could be food poisoning, slips by the pool, or even breaking a bone at one of the cruise’s many activities. And just a simple trip to the cruise ship doctor can cost hundreds. Not to mention any number of injuries or emergencies that may occur on land, in a foreign country and in a foreign language. You don’t want to be covering those costs out-of-pocket!

That’s where Caser’s cruise insurance coverage comes in. Learn all about what Caser Expat Insurance’s policy covers for cruises and how to purchase this type of travel insurance.
