Missed Tour or Cruise Connection Coverage is designed to help if you’re unable to reach the departure point of a scheduled tour or cruise due to a covered travel delay. This benefit can typically reimburse:
- Additional transportation expenses needed to catch up with your cruise or tour.
- Unused, prepaid trip costs for the portion of the trip you missed.
Covered delays can include things like:
- A flight delay due to mechanical issues or weather.
- Traffic accidents en route to the airport or port.
- Severe weather that disrupts your travel plans.
For example, if your flight is delayed due to a snowstorm and you miss the cruise departure, this coverage may help pay for a new flight to meet the ship at the next port and reimburse you for any missed excursions or accommodations.
It’s especially valuable for cruise travelers, where missing the initial departure can mean missing the entire trip. Be sure to check your policy for the minimum delay time required and the types of delays that qualify.
