Travel Insurance

It is strongly recommended that Travel insurance is taken out when travelling onboard cruise ships. Whether it be a short cruise to nowhere or an around the world voyage. There are many options to consider when taking out a policy and it is recommended that you take out a policy that suits you and your travelling companion’s requirements, including any pre-existing conditions.

Travel Insurance should cover a minimum of loss of deposit and other monies lost through cancellation.

Medical expenses whilst onboard the ship, as well as overseas can be surprisingly expensive and are NOT covered by Medicare nor any Private Health Cover. This is also the case for short domestic cruises even the 1-3 night cruise samplers.

Please Note: For Australian Coastal Cruises, Sampler Cruises, New Zealand or South Pacific cruises, please select "Indonesia and South West Pacific (South West Pacific Cruise)". To be covered for a cruise, please click "Yes" to cruise cover and pay an extra premium.
