# Should I purchase cancellation insurance?
## Why cancellation insurance is strongly recommended
*This Article Applies to all Adventure Canada Small-Ship Expeditions*
While not mandatory, we strongly recommend purchasing cancellation insurance to protect your trip investment. Without this coverage, guests are responsible for all costs related to delays, repatriation, medical emergencies, or missed travel. Cancellation insurance helps cover unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind, especially in remote areas where support is limited.
