Insurance: No additional insurance required, but as a planner I always suggest it.  Celebration Cruises carry the amount of insurance required by the City of Santa Barbara for the type of business they operate in the Harbor. Potential concerns regarding requirements outside of these limits can be discussed directly with the cruise director.
