Which travel insurance do you use?

We get asked this question a lot and honestly, the answer isn't straightforward, as it depends on where you're from and what you want to cover. So we asked you and these are the most mentioned insurers:

Allianz — by far the most popular choice worldwide
Travel Insured International — popular among US guests, including cancel for any reason coverage
Travelex — also used by guests from the US
Blue Cross Blue Shield — Global Solutions option

Want to compare options? These comparison sites are worth checking out: AARDY.com and Squaremouth.comthey compare multiple providers on price and coverage.

Tip: check whether your employer's insurance or credit card already includes cancellation coverage — you might already be covered!

I cant speak highly enough of the tour my sister and I did in Sept 2025! The ship was perfect, with well appointed staterooms and great public spaces. The meals were truly gourmet, including wine pairings and scrumptious desserts. The company, including the other guests and the staff, was delightful (many of us guests exchanged contact info). What made the tour, however, was the biking. The weather was challenging with lots of rain, but Captain Coen and our guide Thomas worked together to modify the routes, add stops, and make sure that we still got to enjoy ourselves. My calendar is marked for the release of the 2027 tours!
