Frequently Asked Questions

What is cruise cover?

  • Cruise cover is an optional extra you add to your travel insurance policy to ensure you’re protected while travelling on a cruise ship. Standard travel insurance may not include cruise benefits, so adding our Cruise Pack gives you cover for onboard medical treatment, evacuation, missed ports, cabin confinement and more.

Do I have to purchase the cruise pack to be covered?

  • Yes, if you are going on a cruise for 2 nights or more, you must select the Cruise Pack and pay the additional premium. You must add it to both Domestic & International cruise

What does travel insurance for cruises cover?

  • Cruise travel insurance with 1Cover covers key risks unique to being at sea. This includes onboard medical expenses, evacuation to shore, trip cancellation, missed ports, missed departures, cabin confinement, lost belongings and cover for formal attire. It also extends to certain prepaid excursions if you have to cancel due to illness or other insured events. Limits and exclusions apply, please check the PDS for details

My cruise stops at multiple destinations. Do I need to list them all?

  • You should include all destination countries that you’ll be visiting, however, you can select a region if you are making multiple stops within the same area. For example, you can choose ‘South Pacific’ or ‘Europe’ or ‘USA’ depending if you are going on a Pacific, Mediterranean or Caribbean cruise. If unsure, list all destinations separately. 

Can seniors buy cruise travel insurance?

  • Yes. Seniors can purchase cruise travel insurance as long as they meet the age limits for their chosen policy. To be covered, you must also add the Cruise Pack to your policy before departure. Seniors are often more at risk of illness or needing medical treatment at sea, where costs can be extremely high, so having cruise cover in place is especially important.

Will my policy cover me medically on a domestic cruise?

  • Yes, in the event that a medical emergency onboard your cruise occurred, you would be covered for your medical treatment provided that you have added the Cruise Pack on to your policy.  If you are cruising along the Australian coastline or within Australian waters, you would need to select the Domestic Policy with the Cruise Pack add-on. This includes medical benefits as well as all the other benefits of the Cruise Pack. You should choose the Australia Cruise or Domestic Cruise region for your destination. Whilst in port or travelling domestically on land, there’s no cover for your medical costs (including any out-of-pocket expenses) in Australia under your policy.  Once your ship leaves port, even if you’re cruising Australian waters, you’re no longer covered for hospital or medical expenses by Medicare or your private health care provider. Your policy will cover you for emergency medical expenses incurred on-board the ship whilst cruising. Basically, where you can use your Medicare Card or private health insurance to cover your medical expenses or hospitalisation, there’s no medical cover.

It could happen to you

Each year hundreds of young Australian’s are injured or worse from motorbike and scooter related incidents overseas.

1Cover customer Jordon Hunt knows this all too well. On the last day of her Balinese holiday she got on the back of a scooter and the next thing she remembers is a four-wheel drive coming straight towards her at 70 km/h.

Waking up in hospital she had broken her leg and was going to require emergency surgery.

Luckily for Jordon she was covered by 1Cover. Her expenses came to more than $48,000, but her travel insurance policy only cost her $70.

Travellers often ask...

what Is travel Insurance?


You never know what can happen on your holidays so protect yourself against the risks and financial losses while you travel with insurance. Travel insurance gives you peace of mind from unexpected trip cancellation, medical emergencies, lost or stolen baggage or travel delays, and a wide range of unexpected events and expenses.  

Why you need it?

 

You’ve booked your flights, you’ve packed your bags...but have you bought travel insurance? If you're leaving Australia, travel insurance is just as essential as a passport. Medical expenses are the number one reason to get insurance, believe us when we say the cost of medical treatment overseas really can be eye watering. Just take a look at some of our case studies to understand. What’s more things can often go wrong like travel delays, lost luggage or even the big stuff like natural disasters and pandemics. So listen to Smarttraveller “If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.” 

How much should travel insurance cost?


Travel insurance policies vary in price depending on factors such as the length and destination of the trip, traveller's age and health, and the level of coverage or extras selected. On average, you can expect travel insurance to cost anywhere from 4% to 10% of the total cost of your trip. 

Which is the best travel insurance?


The best policy for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences, but there are some essentials when looking for the right cover. When researching, look out for a policy which has adequate amount of cover for your holiday - your transport, accommodation as well as any luggage items and any pre-existing conditions. Make sure you understand the exclusions when you wouldn’t be covered. And look for awards and reviews from previous customers to get an idea about customer service and claims.
