Will being a senior affect the cost of my holiday insurance?

The price of a travel insurance policy will vary depending on a number of different factors. For example, the cost of a travel insurance policy will be influenced by your age, your overall health, the destination you plan on travelling to, how long you plan on travelling for, and any activities you plan on taking part in during your trip(s). These factors are all taken into account when presenting suitable travel insurance policies and prices.

Cruise holiday travel insurance for seniors

Cruise holidays are a popular holiday choice among many senior travellers, with 19% of cruisers aged between 60-69, 17% aged between 50-59 and 14% aged over 70. * That’s why we have created a specialist cruise policy extension, that can be added on to any single or annual multi trip Get Going policy, offering extra protection against the risks that can happen during a cruise break.

Our cruise travel insurance policy extension has been specifically designed to offer additional levels of cover that you wouldn’t necessarily need if you were going on a beach holiday. For example, protection should you be confined to you cabin, cover if your trip itinerary has to change, as well as protection if you miss your cruise departure or connection. You can find out more about our cruise travel insurance protection here.

The cruise extension is not our only extension available, we also offer a Covid-19 extension, large scale events extension, excess waiver extension which can be added to most policies, depending on your trip.

Once you’ve had a look at the policies that we have on offer, you should consider your cover and excess levels. For example, look for cancellation limits which will cover the pre-paid costs of your holiday if you can no longer travel unexpectedly. In addition, check the cover and excess levels available to you, and remember that all cover and excess levels are applicable per person, per claim.

If you are taking out a multi-trip policy ensure you choose enough cancellation cover to cover the biggest and most expensive holiday that you plan to take within 12 months of purchasing the policy.

It is really important that you tell us (your travel insurance provider) about any medical conditions that you have to ensure that we have the appropriate cover in place for you. If you do not declare all of your medical history, this could mean that you are no longer covered should you later need to submit a claim that is related to the undisclosed condition.

Yes. To ensure that you are fully covered, you must tell us about any new changes to your health. Even if it is a small change, it is important to declare a change in your health so that we can provide suitable cover, where possible. If you don’t declare your full medical history, this could mean that you are no longer covered should you later need to submit a claim that is linked to the undeclared condition. If you have any concerns over what you should and shouldn’t declare, please do get in touch with our friendly customer service team who will be able to help.
