Ferry travel insurance should complement EU passenger rights rather than duplicate them. Focus on coverage gaps like extended delays beyond compensation thresholds, medical emergencies during crossings, and vehicle-related incidents. Consider annual policies for frequent ferry travelers.

Claim Procedures

Document all incidents thoroughly with photos, receipts, and official statements. Contact insurers promptly for pre-authorization of significant expenses. Keep all documentation including ferry tickets, delay announcements, and alternative transport receipts for successful claims processing.

Policy Exclusions

Standard exclusions include known weather conditions, pre-existing medical conditions (unless declared), and high-risk activities. Read policy terms carefully and consider additional coverage for specific ferry travel scenarios like luxury cabin bookings or valuable vehicle transport.
