Travel insurance can cover many of your lost or additional expenses due to a cruise or flight delay or cancellation because of a hurricane.

In order for coverage to be available, you must have had a policy in place before the storm was named.

This coverage can include:

• Trip Cancellation – You may be able cancel your trip if the hurricane causes your flight or cruise to be canceled or significantly delayed, typically by at least 12-48 hours.
• Trip Interruption – If you continue on with your trip, you may be covered for the missed portion of your trip, including prepaid and non-refundable hotels or tours, due to the delay caused by the hurricane.
• Travel Delay – Most policies will reimburse additional expenses, such as meals and accommodations, during the delay.
• Missed Connection – This can provide coverage for additional transportation to catch up to your trip, particularly a cruise or tour, after a delay.
