Thread: Is travel insurance mandatory for canadiens

Hello,
We are going on Crown Princess cruise and I was wondering if travel insurance is mandatory
Thank you

I answered your question on your other post, but here it is again;

No one, including Canadian citizens, is required to have the travel insurance. However, it's something that I always suggest. You hope it's a waste of your money, because if you need it, it's usually not for a good reason. But you'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!

Almost always, except for those over about 80, independent insurance is a much better option than that offered by the cruise line as their policies usually cost more and cover less. Check with your agent for specific information on travel insurance.

Now, with all that said, unfortunately, those of us who are travel agents in the U.S. cannot sell Princess cruises to anyone other than U.S., Mexican, and Canadian citizens. So I cannot answer this question for UK citizens. I did hear something from someone on here that there is some type of law that requires the cruise fare to include travel insurance. Don't know if that's correct or not, but it's what I heard. Never had that problem with any other cruise lines or any other parts of the world as I have clients from many different countries.
