Change of plans? No problem
Initially, we’ll work with you to understand your sailing itinerary for a given policy year and set a premium according to that. If your plans change, we can change your policy mid-term with no added administrative fees – easy.
We recommend starting off only by buying insurance for the areas you know you’re going to travel within. You can always add geographical regions later if you need to.
