They provide a Cruise extension that offers a range of cruise-specific benefits, including compensation for cabin confinement, missed shore visits, additional baggage allowances, and emergency formal attire.

The diversity of a cruise holiday means that you have the potential to travel from city to city, experiencing different surroundings and cultures on a daily basis.

With so many options available and so much planning needed, Go Insurance takes pride in communicating all of the details of our cruise insurance options with you online or via phone to suit your budget and itinerary, so you can cruise with confidence.

Cruise Travel Information from Go Insurance:

  • Medicare entitlements do not necessarily apply onboard, even if the cruise ship is registered to an Australian company. There is no obligation on cruise companies to employ doctors who are Medicare registered practitioners.
  • If you fall ill or are injured onboard, the cost of the treatment provided will be added to your account for settlement prior to the end of the cruise.
  • If you are in need of urgent medical treatment which cannot be provided onboard, you will be evacuated from the ship for treatment in a conventional hospital. 

More Cruise Travel Information:

  • Depending on the cruise you have selected, this could involve admission to a foreign hospital and yet further medical costs, so this is where travel insurance is invaluable.
  • If your cruise ship is too far from land and you fall seriously ill, it wont be possible for you to be evacuated by helicopter and cruise ships can’t accommodate a plane landing. 
  • The potential of evacuation not being possible is a real risk to consider, especially if you have serious medical conditions.
  • If you have a significant pre-existing medical condition and you fall ill whilst cruising, you may require urgent or specialist treatment and it may not be possible for this to be provided onboard.
  • In this situation, we might deem the risk of you being offshore as excessively high.  We can explain how this may affect your travel plans.
  • What occurs if flight delays cause you to miss boarding the cruise at the departure point? Travel insurance can pick up the cost of additional travel costs incurred to join the cruise at the next port.

What does GO Insurance’s Cruise Extension cover?

For medical expenses (including ship to shore evacuation) incurred as a result of Bodily Injury or Illness being sustained whilst cruising.

If you or your travelling companion become sick or adverse weather prevents you from partaking in booked excursions along the way. They will compensate you for the loss.

They understand that sometimes there are cruise timetable restrictions. Or adverse weather can change plans to dock at certain ports of call.

If this happens, they will provide a cash benefit for stops missed.

You definitely don’t want the ship’s doctor to confine you to your room and quarantine you during your holiday. They will supply a cash benefit for each day you spend cabin confined.
