Scenic Group Teams Up with Allianz Partners to Offer Comprehensive Cruise Travel Insurance
Scenic Group, the parent company of Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises, has announced a strategic partnership with Allianz Partners, a global leader in travel insurance and assistance services. This collaboration introduces a seamless and comprehensive travel protection program for luxury cruise guests, elevating the booking experience with added peace of mind.
The partnership allows travelers to add Allianz Partners’ trusted insurance at the time of booking, offering financial protection and medical assistance for unforeseen events such as cancellations, trip delays, lost luggage, and emergencies abroad. The move underscores Scenic Group’s continued commitment to enhancing the guest experience across its high-end cruise products, including its award-winning river cruises and luxury ocean yachts.
Insurance Designed for Today’s Global Traveler
Through this alliance, Scenic Group travelers now benefit from a streamlined insurance booking process integrated directly into the cruise reservation system. The Allianz coverage includes:
- 100% reimbursement for covered trip cancellations or interruptions
- Medical and dental coverage while abroad
- Telemedicine and in-person consultations through the Global Doctor Visits network
- 24/7 global emergency assistance for health, safety, or logistical needs
- Baggage protection, including lost, delayed, or stolen items
- Travel delay benefits, covering accommodation and meal expenses
These services are available to all travelers booking a Scenic or Emerald Cruise itinerary and are tailored to meet the needs of luxury explorers who demand reliability, safety, and support during their adventures.
Allyz App: Real-Time Support at Your Fingertips
Allianz enhances the guest experience further through its Allyz mobile app, designed for on-the-go support and convenience. The app provides real-time claims tracking, direct messaging with travel experts, access to travel documents, and instant emergency assistance. The platform serves as a digital concierge, enabling seamless access to services wherever in the world the guest may be.
This digital innovation aligns with Scenic Group’s emphasis on premium service and tech-forward luxury travel.
Medical Coverage Beyond Borders
Unlike many standard travel policies, Allianz offers international medical support, including multilingual consultations and local doctor referrals. For travelers venturing to remote cruise destinations or off-the-beaten-path shore excursions, this feature is crucial. With Global Doctor Visits, policyholders can access care without the burden of navigating foreign healthcare systems alone.
Additionally, the policy’s medical evacuation coverage ensures that guests can be transferred safely in the event of critical illness or injury—an essential reassurance when cruising in far-flung locales.
Scenic Group: Luxury Meets Confidence
According to Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group USA/LATAM, this collaboration signifies a new chapter in luxury cruising:
“This exciting partnership provides Scenic Group guests with a convenient option to protect their vacation investment with the global leader in travel insurance and travel assistance, while enjoying peace of mind so they can cruise on our luxury canal yachts and river cruise ships with confidence.”
This initiative comes at a time when global travelers are placing greater value on travel flexibility and risk management. With Allianz as its partner, Scenic Group now provides both security and sophistication—ensuring that every aspect of the travel journey, from planning to disembarkation, is accounted for.
Incentives for Travel Advisors
To mark the launch, Scenic Group is offering exclusive rewards to travel advisors who book both a cruise and Allianz insurance for their clients between now and December 31. This incentive reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to the travel advisor community, which plays a crucial role in delivering personalized and high-touch service to clients.
Travel advisors are encouraged to contact their Scenic Group representatives for program details and promotional materials.
Book with Confidence and Save More
Guests booking with Scenic Group can also take advantage of up to 24% savings on Allianz travel insurance when bundled with a cruise reservation. Whether sailing through Europe’s iconic rivers, navigating the Arctic Circle, or exploring Asia’s hidden gems, travelers now have every reason to reserve their luxury voyage with complete confidence.
As international travel rebounds and cruise tourism regains momentum, this partnership sets a new industry standard for integrated protection. Scenic Group guests no longer have to weigh peace of mind against premium experiences—they get both.
