What Is Trip Cancellation, Interruption & Delay Insurance?

When planning a dream vacation, one of the most common questions we hear is: What is trip cancellation, trip interruption, and travel delay insurance?

These protections can seem confusing at first, but understanding them is essential. Each one covers a different type of unexpected event that could disrupt your travels—and together they help safeguard your investment and peace of mind.

Trip Cancellation

This protects your investment before you even depart. If you need to cancel your trip for a covered reason—such as illness, injury, or a family emergency—you can be reimbursed for prepaid, nonrefundable expenses like flights, hotels, or cruises.

Trip Interruption

This applies once your journey has already begun. If you’re forced to cut your trip short for a covered reason, you may be reimbursed for the unused portion of your trip and additional transportation costs required to return home.

Travel Delay

This covers unexpected expenses if your trip is held up for a covered reason—think missed connections, weather delays, or mechanical issues. Depending on the policy, reimbursement can include meals, accommodations, and even missed tour days.

Why This Matters for Luxury Travelers

When you’re investing in a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, a river journey, or an extended international trip, these protections aren’t optional—they’re essential. Even a short delay or disruption can quickly add thousands of dollars in unexpected costs.
