So true and due to Age that is the only reason to consider using “ANY” cruiseline offered Travel Insurance. Most Travel Insurance (other than cruiseline sponsored products) are priced based on the age of the applicant as we age the risk of serious illness or accidents increases the cost of the premium. At age 75 and beyond the cost really goes up significantly. This is where cruiseline coverage starts to make sense as it rarely takes age into account. So compare if you are at or beyond the magic age of 75 and in need of TI coverage.

Not me that’s for sure. But after the last couple years of hearing about Vouchers at least I knew enough to completely understand the Voucher rules that came with my vouchers. I also knew that there were many different vouchers issued and some had completely different rules based on circumstances and time frame issued. The earlier passengers did not have the advantage of knowing how difficult the Vouchers would become.

Steve is great and has written all our TI… and he insured my Voucher after much research. Sadly I am not cancelling for a covered reason and that was no surprise either.

Yep it does and I knew Not to have/accept a voucher in the first place. On a brighter note I just booked Antarctica with VIKING and I like the product. Have just decided to move on…. But am I a fan of VIKING front office NO or their Policies NO… but their on board experience and crew are great. PS I’m sorry you are taking such a loss it hurts… I get it!

Lol well I am actually mad at myself as I knew better than to end up with a voucher. I disregarded the voice in my head that said don’t do it. Every bit of it is hard earned money and not a Viking bonus. But I’m moving on and trying not to whine…

Generali is one of the largest insurance companies in the world and they OWN Tripmate, VIKING has a cruiseline policy much like buying insurance for a Princess or HAL cruise. The get a share of the premium paid just like an insurance agent would. This policy is designed for VIKING just as other similar police’s are designed for other Cruiselines which they sell to passengers. Full disclosure I like the Viking product, dislike their policies and will also be loosing a $5800 voucher and I fully understand I agreed to the terms. Will still sail VIKING (and others) only mad at myself.

Well I have cruised VIKING and am getting ready to cancel a trip “Knowing” I’m going to loose a $5,800 Voucher. But I fully understood the Terms and know since I can’t take this trip or a trip in 2024 that the voucher is lost. It hurts, but on the bright side I have booked an Antarctica trip for 2025 🙂
