Creator's Key Takeaways

The critical thing with travel insurance Albert is if you are booking travel insurance make sure that you it includes cruise cover

I think we will see more and more pressure on that because obviously it's not just an art Antarctica it could be in other places

Generally speaking, you can. However, there are quite a few restrictions

I would try and go on up as high up as you can to some of the smaller ships

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure travel insurance includes cruise cover and purchase it at booking time
For Santorini, consider a boat and bus combination trip to avoid crowds
Book cruise excursions as early as possible, often a year in advance
For disabled seniors, consider Holland America or Cunard for their experience and programs
For Iceland, try to sail on smaller ships to access more ports
