Travel with Cofidence, Travel with Wegener Travel and Cruise
At Wegener Travel and Cruise, we believe that travel should be stress-free, seamless, and filled with unforgettable moments. Whether you're setting sail on a river cruise, exploring ancient European cities, or relaxing at a luxury beach resort, we're here to help you craft the perfect getaway.
While travel is about excitement and discovery, it’s also an investment—and like any investment, it’s important to protect it. That’s why we strongly recommend considering travel insurance. Unexpected disruptions happen, but the right coverage can ensure you don’t lose your hard-earned vacation.
Why Travel Insurance is a Must-Have
Your Vacation is More Than Just a Trip—It’s an Investment!
A vacation is more than just time away from home—it’s an opportunity to explore new destinations, create lasting memories, and enjoy a well-deserved break from everyday life. Whether you’re embarking on a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a luxurious cruise, every trip represents a significant investment of time, money, and planning.
But even the best-laid itineraries can be thrown off course in an instant. A sudden illness or injury could prevent you from traveling, severe weather could cancel flights, or an airline strike could leave you stranded at an airport. Luggage can go missing, accommodations may experience last-minute closures, and global events or personal emergencies can force abrupt changes to your schedule.
Without the right protection, these unforeseen circumstances can lead to major financial losses—trip deposits may be non-refundable, airline tickets non-changeable, and emergency expenses can add up quickly. Travel insurance safeguards your investment, ensuring that if plans change due to covered reasons, you won’t be left covering all the costs out of pocket.
While no one likes to think about what could go wrong, smart travelers know that preparation is key. Travel insurance isn’t just about peace of mind—it’s about ensuring your vacation stays enjoyable, even when life throws unexpected challenges your way.
Protect Yourself From Costly Surprises
Medical Emergencies Abroad & at Sea – Did you know that most U.S. health insurance plans—including Medicare—don’t cover medical expenses overseas or on a cruise ship?
- Medical costs abroad can be significantly higher than expected, especially in private hospitals in Europe or resort destinations where tourists are charged premium rates.
- Cruise ship medical care is another major cost travelers often don’t consider. A simple visit to the ship’s doctor can cost hundreds of dollars, while more serious issues requiring hospitalization or treatment could lead to thousands in medical bills.
- Without travel insurance, these expenses would be your responsibility out-of-pocket.
Flight Cancellations & Delays – Weather disruptions, airline strikes, and mechanical issues can cause last-minute flight changes or even leave you stranded. With travel insurance, you may be eligible for compensation, rebooked flights, or reimbursement for extra expenses like hotels and meals.
Trip Cancellations & Interruptions – Sometimes, life throws a curveball. Illness, family emergencies, or even job-related issues can force you to cancel a trip at the last minute. Without insurance, you could lose your entire trip cost. With it, you can recover eligible expenses and rebook with peace of mind.
Lost, Stolen, or Delayed Luggage – Imagine arriving at your dream destination… but your suitcase didn’t make it. Travel insurance can provide compensation to replace essential items so you’re not left waiting without clothes, toiletries, or other necessities.
Weather & Natural Disasters – From hurricanes to unexpected winter storms, extreme weather can derail travel plans. Insurance helps ensure you don’t take a financial hit if your trip is postponed or rerouted.
The High Cost of Medical Evacuation – A Must for Every Traveler
One of the most overlooked yet critical reasons for purchasing travel insurance is medical evacuation coverage. If you experience a serious injury or illness while traveling—especially in a remote location or at sea—you may need to be transported to the nearest hospital or even back home for treatment.
- Emergency medical evacuation from a foreign country or cruise ship can cost anywhere from $25,000 to over $250,000, depending on the location and medical needs.
- Without insurance, travelers must pay these costs in full before an evacuation can take place.
With the right travel insurance, you have access to 24/7 emergency assistance, ensuring that if the worst happens, you can get the medical care you need without a devastating financial burden.
Don’t Let the Unexpected Ruin Your Travel Plans!
Travel insurance isn’t just an added expense—it’s a smart way to protect your travel investment. Whether you're embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime European adventure, setting sail on a luxury cruise, or enjoying a relaxing beach retreat, the right coverage helps you travel with confidence.
