<< Back to Article Links

Ok, so you have finally retired, and now it is really time to start enjoying yourself. Surely one of the first things you will do, will be booking a holiday somewhere exotic. So what could you do?

Well a lot of people opt for a cruise, because it gives you a chance to experience different parts of the world, on a large floating resort. So what happens if you go to book your travel insurance and then run into difficulties? Here are some tips that may help:

1. Make sure that you book your travel insurance in advance. Your cruise provider may offer you their own travel insurance insurance provider, but it is always worth a bit of a shop around. Never go on your cruise without travel insurance because being injured or falling ill abroad and having to be repatriated could work out very expensive otherwise. Factor in the price of travel insurance when planning your trip

2. Look for specialist cruise travel insurance. That way you can be covered for the specific requirements of a cruise - things like missed ports because of bad weather, or confinement to your stateroom because of illness.

3. Use an insurer like AllClear, that specialise in cruise travel insurance for the over 65s. This is easy as there is no age limit for single trip cruise insurance. You can also make sure that you are covered for any existing medical conditions, without this treatment on board ship could work out very expensive. AllClear have a long standing history of delivering cruise travel insurance for over 65s, or the over 70s, or the over 80s, so we can help you get on with the business of enjoying your cruise!

4. Make sure your cruise travel insurance covers you for on board activities and excursions. There is plenty that you could be doing from golf lessons to ballroom dancing. For some of the more extreme activities, you may want to check your cover

5. You may be going on a cruise that is longer than a standard 2 week holiday, as now you are retired you really want to treat yourself! As you will have saved up, and planned this holiday for a long time, you should consider additional cancellation cover in case the worst should happen and you need to cancel your cruise.

6. If you decide to go on a cruise on a last minute deal, remember that you still need specialist cruise travel insurance
