About CruiseCover.net
An independent comparison service helping American cruise travelers find the right insurance coverage — clearly, honestly, and without the jargon.
Who We Are
CruiseCover.net is an independent comparison website for cruise travel insurance in the United States. We are not an insurance company, and we are not a licensed insurance agent or broker. We don't sell policies, process claims, or underwrite coverage of any kind.
What we do is research, compare, and present information about cruise insurance products from licensed US insurers — so that travelers like you can make an informed decision before setting sail.
The site was built by a team of travel insurance researchers and cruise enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of clear, unbiased information available to American cruise passengers. Too many comparison sites bury the important details. We built CruiseCover.net to surface exactly what matters: coverage limits, exclusions, pricing ranges, and real provider ratings.
Our Mission
"To help American cruise travelers find the right insurance coverage — so that a missed port, a medical emergency at sea, or an unexpected trip cancellation doesn't become a financial disaster on top of a personal one."
Cruising is one of the most popular vacation choices for Americans, with millions of passengers sailing each year. Yet research consistently shows that a large proportion of cruise passengers sail without adequate insurance — often because the purchase process is confusing, or the cruise line's own insurance offer seems like the easy option.
Our goal is to close that information gap with straightforward guides, side-by-side comparisons, and honest provider assessments — so you can make the decision that's right for your trip and your health needs.
How We Earn Money
CruiseCover.net earns revenue through affiliate referral commissions. When you click a link to a provider and purchase a policy, we may receive a commission from that provider. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay for any policy is identical whether you reach it through our site or directly through the insurer.
We want to be fully transparent about this arrangement. Our editorial team does not accept payment to feature providers more prominently than they deserve, and providers cannot pay to improve their ratings or comparison results. Our rankings and recommendations are based on independently assessed coverage quality, financial strength ratings, and verified customer feedback.
If we recommend a provider, it's because we believe they offer genuinely good value for cruise travelers — not because they pay us more than others.
