Cruise travel insurance
A guide to understanding cruise insurance - why you need it, what's covered, and what's not.
I am insured with Apia Health. I have an extended stay in Malaysia at present. I wish to travel to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, for maybe 3 weeks.The countries are requesting COVID cover Insurance. I have no pre exisiting health problem and am a fit 78 year old. What avenue do you suggest.
Hi Geraldine,
You can find more information in the policy documents issued at the time of your application with Apia Health, or you can contact the provider directly for clarification.
If you aren’t covered for COVID on your existing policy, you can find a list of some insurers that do offer this cover on our Travel insurance that covers COVID guide.
Since you’re already overseas, you will need to confirm that your chosen insurer covers you when you’ve already started your travels.

Hi my husband had an angiogram about 18 months ago which was good showing no problems with his heart. He takes medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol which are controlled well. Would he be covered for any potential cardiac problems under your policy when we travel to Europe next month. He is 64years old
Hi Angela,
Thanks for your question.
Apia travel insurance will not automatically cover your husband for his pre-existing medical condition. Moreover, they’ll require you to fill out and submit a pre-existing medical form request and meet a medical practitioner for assessment. You may refer to the section on getting a cover with a pre-existing condition above for the procedure and conditions.
Generally, travel insurance brands consider cardiac or heart problems to be strong risk factors for travel and exclude them from their automatic cover. However, there are still some insurers that will cover people with pre-existing heart conditions although these brands will require medical assessment as well. You may check our list of brands covering heart problem and their terms and conditions. You might also find our guide on travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions helpful.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,

Hi Trent,
Thanks for your question,
If you are the owner of the land or building you are occupying during your travel date, and certain circumstances arise where your property has caused bodily injury or property damage to a third party during your trip, this is not covered by the policy.
I highly recommend you check your personal liability insurance options to ensure you are getting the right policy for you.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Anndy
