WaveCare, from Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection, is easy, full-featured cruise trip insurance, specially designed for cruise related issues

Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection’s 2022 State of Travel Insurance survey of travelers reports 69.08% hope to take a cruise this year, with the most positive feedback coming from millennials and high income individuals.

While cruising is roaring back, travel disruptions are bound to pop up and these trips are a big investment to protect. Contracting Covid or another illness right before a trip or severe weather canceling a flight are just some of the things that cruisers need to plan for.

WaveCare® is BHTP’s comprehensive cruise travel insurance plan that offers coverage on everything from cruise cancellation, to medical emergencies and more.

It provides:

● Standard insurance coverage such as medical emergencies, trip cancellation, trip interruption, medical evacuation, and lost, damaged, or stolen luggage. WaveCare also adds to these standard coverages a cruise disablement fixed benefit – a payment for your inconvenience if your cruise is disabled and unable to arrive in port.

● Bonus coverage if the insurance policy is bought within 15 days of making the initial cruise deposit. This includes coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and tour-supplier bankruptcy protection.

● Added medical reassurance as not all medical plans will cover travel overseas. If travelers have a medical emergency when cruising, the bills can quickly add up. Travel insurance can help pay hospital and doctor bills if travelers get sick or injured while onboard, and can cover the cost of the medical evacuation from ship to shore to an adequate medical facility.

● BHTP claims are paid up to five times faster than industry average and are paid out as cash back vs vouchers, which are common with insurance bought with cruise lines.
