Travel Insurance used to be seen as a gimmick, a negative, silly, frivolous.
Not anymore.
Whether it’s your trip, your possessions, your luggage, or your health, travel insurance has become one of the most important pieces of the cruise reservation.
According to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association, some 70 percent of cruisers buy travel insurance. The top three reasons are: peace of mind, protection against the unexpected and concern over losing the financial investment in a trip.
With everything that could go wrong on the way to the cruise terminal or during the cruise itself, going without travel insurance was taking a huge chance.
And now you don’t have to ask the question anymore, “To buy travel insurance or NOT to buy?”
Starting immediately every cruise 
reservation made through CruiseNow.com that is 5 nights or longer will receive FREE cruise travel insurance to protect your vacation investment. That’s right, we pay your premium!
Travel Insurance can sometimes add hundreds onto the total cost of your vacation–for example, a cruise vacation costing $2500 for a 60 year old passenger would cost that customer an additional $162 in insurance premium.
CruiseNow.com now pays the full premium for the following plan, which offers a pre-existing condition waiver available through final payment.
Below is the standard coverage offered through CSA Insurance.
