Hi.

Ive just booked a two week cruise in August. My chemo finishes in July and I get a 3 month break from chemo

ive contacted a few insurance companies, one of which quoted me £5000 for a two week cruise

I had colorectal cancer in July 2025. Part of the bowel was taken, all went well until December 2025, when I went for an ultrasound thinking it was gall stones!! Turned out it had metastasised into my Liver. The prognosis was not curable but treatable. My chemo treatment is going very well with very encouraging CEA markers 

my question (sorry a bit long winded, but wanted to give you all a bit of background information)

has anyone had success with getting affordable travel insurance please? 

I am travelling as a solo traveller. My consultant has said I will be hit to goThumbsup 

looking forward to your replies , with hope

Stubby

  • Hello ,

    Have you tried Albert & Eddie, they're a comparison site owned by a company that also own a couple of other travel insurers. I've obtained competitive cover from them as have numerous others.

    I hoe you can get sorted, let us know how you get on if possible.

  • Hi Stubby yes I had success with Albert and Eddie drawn out process but provided cover for 11 days £250.

  • Thankyou soo much for your reply. I’ve tried a few more insurance brokers recommended by which today, they are quoting between £3500-£5000. 
    which is double the cost of the cruise.

    I’ll try Albert and Eddie, and let you know what they quote. Thankyou
