World Cruise Insurance

I have just spent the last few days trying to help a customer arrange insurance for a World Cruise on Queen Elizabeth. In my ignorance I thought I could just type it into Google and have a choice of companies to quote me, how wrong could I be.

I tried all the main players – Saga, Age Concern, Staysure, World-first.co.uk, Covermore etc and no one could quote me. The main problem being, that the cruise is 107 days long and costing over £30,000.

Only 1 of these companies could quote for more than 100 days duration, which was Covermore but they could only offer cancellation cover of £25k

Finally though, I was able to find a company that could quote for me for exactly what I wanted. http://www.insuretocruise.com/ offer world cruise insurance for the full duration and with the cost tailored to the level of cancellation cover that you require. Plus not only could they quote me but they were extremely helpful – I was having trouble with the phone lines so I e-mailed them and they called me back to go through the quote. Sarah was very courteous and friendly.

Insure to Cruise offer cover for world cruises for P&O, Cunard, Princess, Seabourn and Holland America Line and can be contacted on 0845 230 7136.

Alternatively for Fred Olsen World cruises you can contact 0845 260 1542 or www.247cruiseinsurance.com/fo

I hope you find this useful and if anyone knows of any other insurance companies that are good could you let me know for future reference.
