Taking out some form of travel protection or insurance will be a good idea when you book your cruise. This insurance will provide you with different types of cover and will take effect immediately. Generally people like to plan ahead and so book their cruise well before they are due to travel. Nobody knows what is going to happen in advance and holiday insurance will cover you for illness, injury or death. This covered is extended to cover everyone traveling provided they are listed on the insurance policy. So even if it’s the day before you are due to travel the insurance should cover any costs.

Travel Protection Insurance not only covers cancellation but also whilst you are on your cruise in Alaska. Insurance cover should cover your medical bills in the event of serious injury or illness of anyone named on the policy. The holiday insurance should also cover your luggage and personal belongings in the even of theft.

For travellers from the United Stares make sure you have a valid copy of your birth certificate and suitable photographic identification or a passport with you. This is very important if your cruise ship visits a Canadian port as otherwise you may be unable to get off the ship. All other travelers will already have passports with them which they used to gain entry to the United States or Canada.
