Cruises: Passengers’ safety relies on this one crucial thing

While cruise holidays boast countless ocean views, mouthwatering global cuisine and world-class entertainment, they can also bring with them a number of dangers.

Whether its unexpectedly missing your ship’s departure or being faced with a weather-related delay, voyagers could see themselves faced with costly accommodation or replacement transport fees.

In more unfortunate circumstances, passengers run into eye-wateringly high medical fees in the case of accident, injury or unforeseen illness.

In fact, last year ABI revealed that the average medical claim on travel insurance surpasses £1,300 for the first time.

Furthermore, the average general claim hit its highest on record at £800.
