Fancy a cruise? There’s never been a better time…

Fancy a cruise?Just picture it. You’re dressed in your favourite finery, sipping a glass of bubbly after stepping on board a beautiful cruise liner.

Having settled in to your well-appointed suite, you inch out of the harbour and set sail for the epic expanse of the open ocean. You’re on your way to explore some of the world’s most famous destinations. All aboard!

Sound good?

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking a cruise for yourself, you could be in luck. Cruise holidays are making waves and the number of luxury cruises departing from the UK is rising rapidly. More than 660 cruises will set sail from the UK this year, with initial estimates pointing towards a 17% increase on British embarkations compared to last year.

So how about it?

Don’t leave the harbour without us…!

A quick fact about cruising: most cruise lines insist that you have good travel insurance before they allow you on board. But unless you enjoy the prospect of falling into hot water, you’ll most likely take out a good policy long before you get to the harbour. After all, imagine if you were forced to cancel your cruise at the last minute and couldn’t recover the cost of your ticket. You don’t need us to tell you that would be pricey!

We can help. At World First Travel Insurance we offer specialist cruise travel insurance that comes with everything you need for a shipshape and enjoyable cruise. Where do we start? £3,000 worth of cancellation cover ensures that you won’t be left out of pocket if you have to unexpectedly cancel your cruise or cut your travels short. We’ll also give you access to 24/7 emergency assistance and customer care channels.

Sailing with a medical condition? No problem. We cover thousands, including cancer, heart conditions and blood disorders. Expect £5 million medical cover and insurance for over 70 on-shore sports and activities with your policy. Your cash, baggage and valuables are protected with cover against loss and theft, and we’ll even give you cover for travel delay and missed departure. And our prices?

Well, they’re a drop in the ocean.

    Travel insurance for cruises, hmm, didn’t know you needed it, for most Australian cruises it’s already included.
