Allianz Partners Australia launches cruise-specific travel insurance
With cruising having emerged as the fastest-growing tourism segment in Australia, with 1.25 million Australians setting sail annually, Allianz Partners Australia has launched a new cruise-specific travel insurance product in collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL).
The latest offering allows NCL customers to conveniently get a quote and purchase travel insurance directly through the cruise line's website when booking their journey.
Allianz Partners' Cruise Travel Insurance offers essential benefits, such as onboard medical and evacuation coverage, protection for cabin confinement, and formal wear coverage for NCL travellers. Traditionally offered as an add-on package, these benefits are now seamlessly integrated into the standard travel insurance policy purchased through the Norwegian Cruise Line website, simplifying the process and offering more convenience for travellers. (Terms, conditions, exclusions limits, and applicable sub-limits apply).
The global cruise industry has witnessed a remarkable 20% increase in passengers in 2024 compared to 2019, and projections suggest that 40 million passengers will embark on cruises by 2028. In Australia, cruise travel now constitutes 10% of all travel choices, with a notable surge in interest from younger demographics, including Millennials and Gen-Xers. Allianz Partners is committed to supporting this growth by delivering innovative solutions tailored to the evolving needs of cruise travellers.
Damien Arthur, Executive Head of Travel at Allianz Partners Australia advised "our commitment to product innovation and keeping customers at the heart of everything we do is evident in our new partnership with Norwegian Cruise Lines.
"Our data shows that cruise travellers have a high propensity to purchase travel insurance. We've now made it even easier for them to get cover that is better suited for their needs. This launch builds upon our worldwide portfolio of cruise partnerships, where global expertise can be applied to local markets."
