    A: No, travel insurance is not a legal or visa requirement for a Yangtze River cruise in China.

    However, it is highly recommended by all major cruise lines. Given the remote regions traveled, potential for trip delays, and onboard medical costs, comprehensive coverage for medical emergencies, evacuation, trip cancellation/interruption, and baggage is a prudent safeguard. Check your booking terms, as some premium cruise packages may include basic insurance.
