If I am taking a domestic cruise, will I be covered for medical expenses?

If you are on a domestic cruise, InsureandGo will provide Cruise travel insurance policyholders coverage for Medical and Evacuation expenses. However, this benefit does not apply to any medical treatment needed on-land in Australia or whilst the ship is tied up in an Australian port.

If I get a cruise policy, will I be covered for anything else other than my time on the cruise?

Our Cruise Policies will provide you coverage when you’re travelling on land, in the air and cruising the ocean.

When purchasing a cruise policy^, simply select ‘cruise’ as your trip type and select your destination bracket.  Please note, for the South Pacific and Asia Cruise, you have two destination options to select from:

  • For cruises that include any of the listed Pacific destinations and docks at any Australian port after departure – select Domestic/South Pacific.

  • For cruises that include any of the listed Asia destinations and dock at any Australian port after departure – select Domestic/Asia.

Am I covered if I get Covid-19 while travelling?

Yes, our Silver and Gold policies provide unlimited coverage for necessary and emergency medical expenses incurred overseas if you are diagnosed with COVID-19. This includes emergency medical, surgical, hospital, ambulance and repatriation costs where necessary.

Do you offer Covid-19 travel insurance?

Our Silver and Gold policies offer benefits for overseas medical expenses, cancellation or amendment expenses as a result of COVID-19.

Am I covered if I have to cancel my trip because I got Covid-19?

Our Silver and Gold policies offer coverage for $2,500 and $5,000 respectively if it is necessary and unavoidable for you to cancel your trip as a result of:

These benefits will cover:

  • travel and accommodation expenses and pre-paid meal expenses which you have paid or have agreed to pay under a contract and which you cannot recover from any sources;
  • the cost of excursions, tours and activities which you have paid for and which you cannot recover from any sources;

• your additional reasonable and necessary travel and accommodation expenses, incurred after departure, that are over and above what you had originally budgeted to pay, where you need to catch up to your original schedule.
