It’s the most complete cruise protection you can buy.
And we make getting covered easy, fast, and effortless.

Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection has been protecting cruises for years, and is backed by Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company’s A.M. Best A++ rated financial security and strength to give you peace of mind on all your waterborne excursions.
All our insurance plans cover medical emergencies, trip cancellation, trip interruption, medical evacuation, and lost, damaged, or stolen luggage.* WaveCare then adds to these standard coverages a cruise disablement fixed benefit – a payment for your inconvenience if your cruise is disabled and unable to arrive in port.
Yes! That’s a great time to buy travel insurance for a cruise holiday. If you buy within 15 days of making your initial cruise deposit, you can often qualify for bonus coverages, like coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and tour-supplier bankruptcy protection. However, if you’re a procrastinator, many plans let you buy coverage up until the day before you leave.
"Although I did not have to use the Berkshire Hathaway Travel protection for the four members of my family on a two-week cruise, the coverage I received was very clearly explained and documented. I had no fear that had I needed to enforce the travel protection due to illness of one or more in my party or had I needed to cancel the trip, I would have been able to do so without a problem. I consider the insurance protection an investment well spent."
- Joe P
Absolutely! Travel insurance is often worth the investment for its potential to help reimburse you for hundreds of thousands of dollars of covered expenses like emergency evacuation, medical bills, and costs related to trip cancellation and interruption. The U.S. State Department includes travel insurance as a key component of its traveler’s checklist.[1]
Not all medical plans will cover you when you travel overseas. If you have a medical emergency when you’re cruising, you could be faced with thousands of dollars of bills that you have to pay on the spot. Travel insurance can help pay hospital and doctor bills if you get sick or injured when you’re onboard, and can cover the cost of the medical evacuation to transport you from ship to shore to an adequate medical facility.
Savvy cruisers do. If you’re not sure, ask your travel professional, or someone who’s gone on multiple cruises.
Let Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection protect your dream cruise with easy, comprehensive, fast-paying travel insurance. We make taking it easy … easier.
