Allianz Partners Australia has unveiled a new cruise-specific travel insurance product in collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), providing an enhanced experience for cruisers. The new offering allows NCL customers to easily get a quote and purchase travel insurance directly through the Norwegian Cruise Line website during the booking process.
Allianz Partners’ Cruise Travel Insurance covers essential benefits, such as onboard medical and evacuation coverage, protection for cabin confinement, and formal wear coverage for NCL travellers. What sets this product apart is that these benefits, traditionally offered as add-ons, are now seamlessly integrated into the standard travel insurance policy available on NCL’s website, simplifying the process and offering greater convenience.
With cruising rapidly becoming the fastest-growing travel segment in Australia, Allianz Partners is positioning itself to meet the rising demand with tailored solutions. In 2024, the global cruise industry saw a 20% increase in passengers compared to 2019, with projections indicating that 40 million passengers will embark on cruises by 2028. In Australia alone, 1.25 million people set sail annually, with cruise travel now making up 10% of all travel choices. Notably, younger generations, including Millennials and Gen-Xers, are increasingly driving this growth.
As the cruise industry continues to expand, Allianz Partners remains committed to supporting this growth by offering innovative solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of cruise travellers.
