Insurance and risk management
Passengers face extended stranded conditions with health risks (Covid-19 exposure), potential financial losses from trip disruption, and reduced confidence in Arctic cruise safety. Broader consumer hesitation expected for luxury expedition cruises and remote destination travel.
