CruiseOne Unveils Innovative Job Loss Insurance Valid On All Cruises

Feb. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- (Wheaton, Illinois) – Consumers nationwide might be concerned about losing their jobs, but Wheaton residents no longer need to worry about a pink slip ruining their vacation plans.  CruiseOne, the nation’s largest cruise retail agency, today announced the first-ever comprehensive job loss travel insurance policy covering travel on all cruise lines.  The new “CruiseAssurance” initiative is an exclusive benefit to consumers booking through Sheila McPherson in Wheaton, even if they have to cancel their trip at the last minute because of an unexpected layoff.  

The best part?  CruiseOne is picking up the tab for “CruiseAssurance” for consumers purchasing their basic travel insurance.  Combined with lower-than-ever prices, cruising is now the most affordable and worry-free vacation option.

“In today’s environment, it is crucial for businesses to step up to the plate showing we understand consumer challenges, and a handful of companies have recently done this with their versions of job loss protection,” said Dwain Wall, General Manager of CruiseOne’s corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  “Our ‘CruiseAssurance’ policy takes the concept of job loss insurance to a new level, easing the concerns of consumers at no charge and on any cruise line of their choice.”

Under the “CruiseAssurance” policy, area residents booking a cruise with Sheila McPherson can cancel their trip up to the day of departure, or even during the vacation.  The only requirements are that travelers purchase an entry-level travel insurance plan – administered by Travel Guard – and present their termination letter.  One year of employment is required. “CruiseAssurance” applies to bookings made March 1 through May 2, 2009 and is offered in addition to an already comprehensive travel protection policy.*
