As a tour or excursion operator you will need excursion insurance in order to be recommended and listed as an excursion option for cruise line passengers. No matter what your core activities and unique tour experiences are, excursion insurance is required to protect you and the cruise passengers from the risks associated with the tour activities.

What is Excursion Insurance and Who Needs it? 

Cruise lines will require following excursion insurance requirements when determining which operators that they will vet, endorse and recommend to the cruise passengers:

1. CONTINGENT GENERAL LIABILITY Also referred to as Third Party or Public Liability, covers bodily injury and property damage to tourists in your care, custody and control while participating in an excursion tour. This coverage excludes auto, aircraft and motorboats. Non-motorized watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, sunfish, etc. are included. This does not replace any business property or liability coverage placed locally.
   
   
2. CONTINGENT AUTO LIABILITY
   This coverage is excess auto liability over and above your local compulsory automobile insurance and includes coverage for owned, hired and non owned vehicles.
   
   
3. CONTINGENT WATERCRAFT LIABILITY (MOTORIZED)
   Similar to the Contingent Auto Liability, this covers owned, hired and non-owed watercraft having a motor that carries passengers for hire.
