Cruise travel insurance FAQs
No, cruise cover is an optional extra. If you’ll be going on a cruise, it’s important to add the Cover While Cruising option when completing your quote to ensure it is included with your policy.
It’s essential that you add Cover While Cruising with your travel insurance if you’ll be heading on a cruise. While our travel insurance includes cover for a wide range of events, it won’t cover you while on a cruise if you don’t add the optional extra cover.
Even if you’re cruising domestically, it’s still important to have cruise-specific travel insurance for medical emergencies, as you may not be able to claim on Medicare or your private health insurance while on board. Travel insurance can also come in handy in a range of other situations while cruising like if your luggage is lost, cabin confinement or shore excursion cancellation.
You’ll need to list all travellers (including any dependents) that you want to be included on your policy when completing your quote to ensure they are covered while on our cruise.
