Medical travel insurance for cruise holidays

Cruise insurance

Ocean and river cruises are covered as standard on all travel insurance policies from Total Travel Protection, and you don’t need to tell us that you are going on a cruise.

Make sure you declare your asthma and any other medical conditions when you buy your policy, as emergency medical treatment onboard ship, or airlifting to hospital, would work out very expensive if you are not fully covered.

We can cover individual cruise holidays up to 94 days in duration; remember to list all the countries you will be visiting when you buy a policy.

Asthma Travel Insurance FAQ

What types of asthma can you cover?

We can cover all types of asthma up to a high level of severity, including allergic asthma, seasonal asthma, occupational asthma, non-allergic asthma and exercise induced asthma.

Why do I need to declare my asthma when I buy travel insurance?

It is important to declare asthma and any other medical conditions you may have when you buy travel insurance so that you will have appropriate cover for emergency medical treatment abroad if you need it, as well as cancellation if you become unwell before your holiday.

If you become ill due to a pre-existing medical condition, such as asthma, that you had not declared on your policy, you would not be covered by your travel insurance and your claim could be declined or only partially paid.

How do I declare my asthma when I get a quotation?

When you get a travel insurance quotation, whether online or by phone, you will be given the opportunity to declare all your pre-existing medical conditions, including asthma.

Once you tell us that you have asthma you will be asked a short series of multiple-choice questions, such as how many medicines you have prescribed by your doctor and if you have had any unplanned hospital admissions for your asthma in the last year.

This will give us an idea of how stable and well managed your asthma is and therefore the risk of you needing emergency treatment whilst you are away.

Our medical screening only takes a few minutes and can be done online or by phone.
