My husband has stage 4 cancer. He would like to go on a river cruise whilst still can. Anyone got any idea, roughly, about insurance costs? Really don't want to get official quotes, and related phonescalls, just want to know if realistic! Thanks.
Hi Jan There are a few companies that cover travel if you have cancer but the costs vary and can be very expensive depending on if you have finished your treatment and when. Some wont cover you until 6 months from your last treatment. If you look up Travel Insurance on this site you will find some previous discussions with recommendations. I got a quote from saga and it was really expensive. I have been on several holidays and have kept my annual cover as it covers me for cycling but they do not cover me for cancer so I have been taking the risk of not having to cancel a holiday or being ill during. Not a good idea for everyone depends on your financial circumstances and in my case the insurance quote was almost the same as the holiday so nothing to lose.
