Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been a travel agent for 23 years. uh started um just you know because I really loved uh cruising and so um started a travel agency and uh have been doing it for a pretty long time.

I have been the Viking uh global top producer for 10 years in a row. So, um, which means I sell more than any other agent in the world for them, and it's something I'm pretty proud of.

Unfortunately there are situations where um you know travel insurance is uh required and we see it every single day where somebody has to cancel for a medical reason or because somebody in their family is sick or ill.

I had a family of four that were um, they were going on a 7-day Caribbean cruise and the wife ended up having an appendicitis um, in the cruise lines private island and um, the the the family chose not to take insurance and it would have been very inexpensive because it's an age-based product.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Purchase travel insurance to protect your investment, especially for medical emergencies or trip cancellations.
✓Consider Viking Air Plus for more control over flight schedules and better assistance with changes.
✓Evaluate annual insurance policies carefully, as they may not cover the full cost of luxury cruises.
✓Contact insurance providers directly to understand coverage limits and exclusions before relying on credit card or annual policies.
