Third-Party Cruise Insurance v. Cruise Line Insurance
2023-03-23 13:00 - 14:00
Click to Register
Brought to you by Travel Research Online.
Cruising made a big comeback in 2022 when the CDC dropped its COVID requirements and allowed the cruise lines to set their own protocols. Now, in 2023, cruise bookings are exceeding expectations, and it is safe to say that taking a cruise has become a top choice for travelers around the world.
All this good news for the cruise industry means we are likely to see increased cruise pricing once all those great wave season discounts have come to an end. Regardless of if your clients took advantage of wave season deals or choose to book a cruise at full price later in the year, you can ensure they and their investment are protected with cruise insurance.
Most cruise lines offer insurance right when the cruise is booked, which is convenient but may not always be the best choice. In this webinar, Bailey Foster, VP of Trip Insurance at Trawick International, will discuss the difference between third-party cruise insurance and cruise line insurance. Learn how third-party insurance can offer your clients more customizable and comprehensive protection and add value (and commissions!) to your portfolio.
Trawick International has won multiple awards and accolades, including being named one of the Best Travel Insurance Companies three years in a row by Forbes Advisor and making the list for Best Cruise Insurance Plans year after year.
Trawick International is a full-service travel insurance administrator and claims provider specializing in protecting travelers worldwide. We can help you offer your clients a wide variety of quality insurance coverage at industry-leading prices.
