Azure blue waters, the sun beating down on you, an ice-cold cocktail and some of the most spectacular scenery you've ever seen – what's not to love about a cruise holiday? Add to that a different port each night, on-board entertainment and comfortable, luxurious cabins and it's easy to see why so many people head off on a cruise every year; it's the ultimate way to see more of the world, in style.

Is it safe?

Cruises are incredibly safe nowadays, but accidents on board cruise ships do inevitably happen. With all that bobbing around at sea, you might find yourself coming down with a stomach bug or you could even injure yourself if you get a bit enthusiastic whilst taking part in activities both on-board and off the ship. That's why it's essential to protect yourself with specialist cruise travel insurance from insurefor.com.

With cheap cruise travel insurance you'll be able to soak up the sun all day and party into the small hours (or just enjoy a romantic dinner for two) without needing to sweat the small stuff. That's because insurefor.com's cruise insurance takes care of you, no matter what you get up to on your cruise! Here's what is covered:

Up to £10 million medical emergency cover
