TRAVEL TOOLS

INSURANCE & EXCURSIONS


On my Cruise Brothers website, you’ll see a tab at the top called Services. This section includes helpful travel tools such as:

  • Travel Insurance

  • Shore Excursions

I highly recommend protecting your vacation with travel insurance. You never know when it might come in handy — especially when traveling internationally or on a cruise ship.

Imagine needing a medical evacuation by helicopter while traveling. Those costs can be extremely high without coverage.

One great feature is that you can create your own quote online. If you purchase a plan, you typically have 15 days (timeframe may vary by state) from the purchase date to review your policy. During that time, you may cancel for a full refund if the plan doesn’t meet your needs.

Personally, I often recommend the Travel Essentials Plus plan, as it typically offers one of the best values for the coverage provided. Once you enter some basic information, you’ll be able to compare plans and review the many helpful FAQs and coverage explanations available.

Also, under the Services tab you’ll find shore excursions provided by Viator, one of the largest and most trusted excursion providers. You can also find my direct link here.

With Viator you can:

  • Book activities around the world

  • Find private transportation

  • Discover experiences like food tastings or cultural tours

  • Choose adventures suited to all activity levels

You can even explore experiences near where you live, not just in travel destinations.

Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret.

WHY MY LINKS?


…instead of Booking Direct?

Great question — and the answer is simple:

You get me.

If you use the tools and links provided here:

  • I’m connected to your bookings

  • I can help answer questions

  • I can assist if something goes wrong

  • I can sit on hold with suppliers so you don’t have to

  • I can help problem-solve or offer advice

Think of me as your backup travel support system.

Pro tip

When booking excursions, always read the details carefully. If possible, choose options that offer:

  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours

  • Reserve now, pay later

These options provide more flexibility if your plans change. Just make sure when booking you note my name in the upper left hand corner.
