Hi everyone, 

We have received some feedback that you would like a more recent recommended travel insurance thread set up. 

The lovely @latchbrook set up the original 'recommended travel insurance thread' which you can still view here. Just so you don't have to go through the different pages of information to find recent recommendations, you can find the most recent experiences in this thread. 

Please note, all recommendations are from Community members and are not recommendations from Macmillan. Please do your own research as to whether the companies are suitable for you. 

This thread can be used to update the group when you've found an insurance company that provided you with cover at a reasonable cost from a recommendation you found here or elsewhere. 

If you could put a little bit of additional information eg. whether you got a single trip or annual, cover for a cruise, worldwide, etc along with anything else that you think others would find helpful when they are researching that would be great.

  • It's because of the high frequency need to use helicopters to airlift ill patient's off of ship to get to mainline treatment centre's. Cruises always cost more for people with illnesses. I just avoid cruises. 

  • Martin 57 - that sounds fantastic! I hope you have a fantastic holiday. I have “terminal” cancer but doing really well at the moment, just on an oral chemo drug. We are going to Lanzarote in January 2025. I have certainly got more than six months to live so will give this company a try!

    Thanks for the tip!
