A round-the-world trip is an incredible experience, but it can also come with additional risks. For example:
Planning a round-the-world trip? An ING Continuous Travel Insurance policy with worldwide coverage is often a logical choice.
With Continuous Travel Insurance, you're covered throughout the year during your holidays. If you choose worldwide coverage, you'll also be insured when travelling outside Europe. This is particularly useful if you're visiting multiple countries during one trip or travelling for an extended period.
What's more, you don't need to take out a separate travel insurance policy for every destination.

With ING Continuous Travel Insurance, each trip is covered for up to 90 consecutive days as standard. Planning a longer journey, such as a world trip, sabbatical, or backpacking adventure? You can choose a maximum trip duration of up to 180 consecutive days.
That way, you can stay well insured even during extended travels.

Most sports are automatically covered under your ING Continuous Travel Insurance, both above and below water. If something goes wrong while surfing in Costa Rica, snorkelling, or diving, or if you have an accident while mountain biking, cycling, or hiking, you'll generally be covered.. This makes the Annual Travel Insurance a suitable choice for many world travellers who want to stay active while exploring destinations around the globe.
When is additional cover required?
A round-the-world trip could take you from the ski slopes of New Zealand to the surf beaches of Brazil. For winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding, and adventure sports, such as skydiving, kitesurfing, and bungee jumping, you'll need additional cover. If you're planning to take part in any of these activities, choose the Winter Sports and Adventure Sports module.
Which sports are excluded?
A number of dangerous sports are always excluded, such as mountain sports, abseiling and mountaineering (except for routes along marked trails that are accessible for inexperienced people), combat sports, motorised sports and participation in motorised speed events, horse competitions, ice sailing and semi-professional sports.
During a round-the-world trip, you'll likely use different currencies and payment methods.
