By securing Travel Guard trip insurance, you can embark on your cruise knowing that you’re safeguarded against unexpected events that may arise.

Travel Guard is a third-party partner that we recommend based on experience with their great service–Smiles at Sea is unaffiliated with the services they provide.

Important Notice: Smiles at Sea is not liable for any Travel Guard insurance arrangements attendees make. Each attendee is solely responsible for their insurance coverage and any associated claims. We strongly advise all attendees to thoroughly review and understand their insurance policies to ensure comprehensive coverage during the event. Smiles at Sea is committed to providing a memorable experience, but attendee insurance arrangements remain the responsibility of each individual.
