Travel insurance with natural disaster cover
If you have travel insurance that covers natural disasters, you can get your money back for delayed flights, last-minute schedule changes, cancelled trips and more.

Yes - as long as you had insurance before the natural disaster occurred. Most comprehensive policies will cover:
In rare cases, some insurers won't cover you for natural disasters at all unless you buy a "natural disaster" add-on. So without the add-on, you wouldn't be able to make a claim if a natural disaster caused you to cancel your trip – even if you had cancellation cover.

Yes, and it works similarly to the situations described above, with all of the same requirements. If your flight is delayed or your cruise ship is stuck in port because of bad weather, you're eligible to claim for any activity you need to cancel as listed under "cancellation" above, plus food and accommodation charges while you wait (depending on how long the delay is).
