The back-to-back win reinforces nib Travel’s position as a trusted companion for Australians setting sail, with broad coverage ranging from medical evacuation to flight delays on the way to your cruise. Cruising remains a popular way to travel among Australians with 1.32 million enjoying ocean cruises in 2024, up 5.9% on the previous year.

As demand for cruise travel continues to grow, nib Travel is pleased to be able to offer insurance options for a range of traveller's needs. Dylan Wilkinson, Head of APAC & nib Travel Marketing, said the award reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering cover that suits a variety of travel needs.

“We’re proud to once again be recognised as the go-to for travel insurance when cruising. Cruising is a fantastic way to travel, and this award is not only an incredible endorsement of our product, but a signal to travellers that nib Travel insurance has options available so you can enjoy your cruising experience,” said Mr Wilkinson.
