It is highly recommended to purchase traveler’s insurance for a cruise. Traveler’s insurance can protect you financially in case of unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, or other unforeseen circumstances. With the cost of cruises being quite substantial, having insurance can provide you with peace of mind and help you avoid potentially hefty expenses. It is always better to be prepared for any possibility while traveling.
