3. What does trip cancellation cover under this plan?

The plan reimburses 100% of your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs up to $50,000 if you are forced to cancel your cruise due to a covered reason — such as sudden illness or injury, death of a family member, jury duty, military deployment, or a natural disaster affecting your destination.

4. What is trip interruption and how does it differ from trip cancellation?

Trip cancellation applies before your trip begins. Trip interruption applies after you have already departed. If you must cut your cruise short due to a covered reason, the plan reimburses up to 125% of your insured trip cost up to $62,500 including unused prepaid expenses and additional transportation costs to return home.

5. Does this plan cover medical emergencies that happen on the cruise ship?

Yes. The plan provides $100,000 in primary emergency medical coverage with a $0 deductible. It covers illness and accidental injury whether the incident occurs onboard the ship, at a port of call, or during pre- or post-cruise travel. Emergency dental expenses are covered up to $500.

6. Is the medical coverage primary or secondary?

The emergency medical coverage under this plan is primary, meaning it pays first before your domestic health insurance. You do not need to file a claim with your personal health insurance before receiving reimbursement.

7. What is the itinerary change benefit?

If your cruise line changes the ship's itinerary without your approval — for example, canceling a scheduled port stop — and this prevents you from using a prepaid excursion or activity, you can be reimbursed for those non-refundable prepaid expenses up to $500. This benefit is not available in all states.

The Safe Travels Sailaway Cruise plan includes missed cruise departure coverage. If you miss your cruise due to a covered travel delay such as a flight delay or severe weather, the plan may reimburse the cost of transportation to catch up with the cruise ship.

If your flight is delayed, you will automatically receive lounge access via email and SMS so you can wait in comfort instead of at a crowded gate.

11. What is the Runway Health benefit?
