travel insurance for Alaska

[jmezmom]

Hi,

 

I am looking for suggestions for insurance for our Alaska trip.

 

I don't know if there is a different coverage for trips in the US as I usually buy for Mexico, Caribbean, etc.

 

Thanks

I don't believe there's any difference.

 

With Alaska, I mostly look for high limits for emergancy medical evacuation. My personal health insurance will cover me in most cases since the ports are in the U.S. Out of 3 cruises I've seen people removed on each cruise for medical reasons. One had to be taken off the ship by helicopter. With Alaska, I'm more worried about potential transportation expenses than medical costs.
