Globelink design their Travel Insurance policies to include Cruise Holidays as standard. That means, whichever policy option you select, all the standard benefits of the policy such as Cancellation apply to Cruise Holidays at no additional cost. The choice is yours to opt for any of policy options, you will always get our minimum €5 million Emergency Medical and Repatriation cover, which includes the costs of being airlifted off the ship where it’s a necessary medical emergency that can’t be treated on board. Luckily this is rare, but if there’s a chance it is needed our 24 Medical Assistance team will liaise with on board doctors and agree a plan of action. Other insurers may offer you a more specific cruise insurance for things like missed port benefit and cabin confinement benefit which we do not insure but usually you will have to pay an additional premium.
Get Cruise Insurance and enjoy the time of your life on the high seas, knowing your covered.
Globelink also ensured you could take your pick of cruise travel anywhere in the world. Select between Europe cover and two Worldwide options, one which covers all Countries and the other excludes USA, Canada, all islands in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Japan, and Mexico.
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) / Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) provides some emergency healthcare within the EU, but it does not cover Repatriation costs, or a doctor or nurse escort home; nor lost or stolen property. You need Travel Insurance for that.
Cruise travel insurance from Globelink covers any cruise trip you take as standard. Cover also allows for over 100 adventure activities and over 50 pre-existing medical conditions for free. There’s also up to €3,000 of baggage cover.
Cruise travel insurance is designed for people, who prefer to travel on board a cruise ship and want the peace of mind that they’re still covered if something goes wrong.

Travel insurance for a cruise is included in all Globelink policies as standard. The price of your policy depends on the level of cover you select, where you are going, for how long and how old you are.
It works in the same way as any other policy. If you need emergency medical assistance while on board, you call the 24 hour Emergency Assistance Service on the numbers printed on your Emergency Assistance Card and at the bottom of your Travel Insurance Certificate.
