TRAVEL INSURANCE
Why is travel insurance important?It is important that all guests take out appropriate international or cruise-specific travel insurance policies once a reservation has been made. Australian Medicare, New Zealand ACC and private health insurance will not cover you for any medical costs or emergency evacuations on board, even on domestic cruises. Insurance policies may also protect your personal possessions and valuables; provide cancellation cover if you miss the cruise or a pre-paid tour; and provide other forms of protection.

We strongly recommend that guests purchase adequate international travel insurance for your cruise.We recommend you contact Cover-More Insurance, via the website link or phone number below.
