You unexpectedly cancelling your domestic cruise

The Cancellation benefit can reimburse you for the payments or deposits you’ve already made towards your trip, not just for the cruise around Australia itself, but also any domestic flights, accommodation and excursions.

This benefit provides you with cover before you leave for your cruise, and also during your cruise if you have to cut your trip short due to a sickness or injury.

Activities

You have cover for many activities that may be offered on your cruise in Australia, including snorkelling, paddle boarding, diving up to 10m and fishing.

Into adventure cruising? With the Adventure Pack add-on, you can be covered for more adventurous activities including scuba diving up to a maximum depth of 30m, water skiing and deep sea fishing.

Emergency evacuation transfer to medical transport

The emergency evacuation benefit provides cover for you to be evacuated to where you can be picked up by air or land ambulance, or the Royal Flying Doctor Service in the event of a medical emergency.

Luggage and personal belongings

Cameras, hearing aids, phones and the other personal belongings that you bring with you on your domestic cruise can be covered under the luggage and personal belongings benefit.

Disruptions to your trip

If your cruise around Australia is disrupted because you, your travelling companion or a family member back home is seriously sick or injured or a natural disaster prevents your cruise from continuing, you can claim for the additional transport and accommodation expenses that you incur.

Travel delay expenses

If your planned transport is delayed for more than 6 hours from your scheduled departure time, you can claim for the travel delay expenses that you may incur as a result of the delay, including accommodation, food and taxi fares.

Special event transport expenses

If your booked transport is delayed or cancelled, which means you’ll miss your domestic cruise, you can be reimbursed for the cost of another mode of transport to get you cruising on time.

Theft of Cash

You can claim to be reimbursed for cash up to $250, if this cash is stolen from you while you’re on-board your ship or from a secure locked compartment.

Medical Cover

As you can use your Medicare Card or private health insurance to cover your medical expenses or hospitalisation, there’s no medical cover for domestic cruises (including for out of pocket expenses).

Delay of luggage and personal effects

If your luggage is delayed, misdirected or misplaced by your airline or cruise operator, you should contact your airline or the cruise line as soon as you can.

Lost or stolen credit/debit cards or fraud

You should notify your bank immediately if your credit or debit cards are lost, stolen or damaged.

Cruising that does not follow the coastline

We can only provide cover for domestic cruises that follow the Australian coastline, along rivers and estuaries. Any domestic cruises which take you out into open waters away from the Australian mainland are not able to be covered under Australian cruise travel insurance, including cruises that cruise in the region of or stop at:

  • Ashmore Reef
  • Christmas Island
  • Cocos (Keeling) Islands
  • Lord Howe Island
  • Montebello Islands
  • Norfolk Island
  • Thursday Island

You do not need Australian cruise travel insurance if you are only taking a river cruise. For river cruises, you can purchase Domestic Travel Insurance.

For cruising in open waters away from the Australian mainland, you can purchase international cruise travel insurance.

If you’re unsure if your domestic cruise can be covered, contact us now via email info@fastcover.com.au or phone 1300 409 322 to confirm.

Star ranking

What is the best cruise travel insurance in Australia?

The best travel insurance for domestic cruising is one that’s able to cover you for the type of cruise and other activities you're planning on doing.

When looking for a travel insurance policy for your domestic cruise, you should consider what you’re going to be doing and what you want to be covered for, such as:

  • Have you booked your cruise in advance, and are worried that an unexpected illness or injury will cause you to cancel your trip?
  • Will you be cruising to remote areas such as the Kimberley or Great Barrier Reef and may need emergency medical evacuation if you become sick or injure yourself?
  • Do you have a new camera and you’re worried that it will be stolen?
  • Do you need cover in case you want to do some scuba diving?
  • Are you concerned that a natural disaster may delay your cruise or even cause it to be cancelled?

These considerations should be taken into account when you compare cruise travel insurance policies, so you understand what you’re covered for before and during your cruise.

Financial save piggy bank

Where can I get cheap cruise travel insurance in Australia?

Everyone’s holidays are different. You may be travelling purely for your cruise, or you may choose to holiday a few days before and after the cruise to do some sightseeing, rent a car or visit family and friends, so the cost of travel insurance for your domestic cruise will be specific to you.

The cheapest domestic cruising travel insurance policy that you can find may not be the best cruising travel insurance for you.

The cost of travel insurance for your Australian cruise will take into account such things as:

  • The ages of all travellers.
  • How far out from your departure date you’re purchasing your cruise travel insurance policy (if you want cancellation cover to protect the deposits that you’ve made for your cruise trip)
  • How long you’re cruising and travelling for in total.
  • The activities that you’ll be doing.
  • Whether or not you’re hiring a rental car on the trip and want to have cover for the rental vehicle insurance excess.
  • The excess amount on your policy.

Australian Cruise Travel Insurance FAQs

You may need to take out Cruise cover if you will be sleeping on the cruise ship for one night or more.  Even though your cruise may never leave Australian waters, or even the coastline, a cruise travel insurance policy may prove invaluable if something does go wrong on your cruise.  This can include cover for trip cancellation expenses where you may need to cancel your Australian cruise before departure due to an unexpected illness or injury, cover for certain medical expenses incurred whilst on-board the cruise ship if you are injured or become sick (that are not covered by Medicare or private health insurance), cover for emergency medical evacuation if you are seriously sick or injured on your cruise, and stolen luggage.     

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs. 

The benefits that are frequently looked for in cruise travel insurance, for example, often include cover for:  

  • Cancellation costs if you have to unexpectedly cancel your trip due to reasons covered under the policy for example unexpected sickness or injury,  
  • Evacuation and repatriation if you are unexpectedly seriously sick or injured on your cruise,  
  • Disruptions to your trip including natural disasters and severe weather, and  
  • Lost or damaged luggage.  

You should also consider the type of trip you're taking, and your particular situation, including:  

  • If you're pregnant and considering going on a babymoon cruise, you should check our Pregnancy Travel Insurance Guide to see if you can be covered for the stage of pregnancy you're in.  
  • If you're intending to do adventure activities such as scuba diving to 30m, tandem skydiving, or quad biking, you should check to see if the activity is covered or if you need to add the Adventure Pack to your policy for the activity to be covered.  

Consider the PDS and TMD at Fastcover.com.au prior to deciding whether this policy is right for you, as policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. 

The cost of a cruise travel insurance policy depends on the type of cruise trip that you will be taking amongst other factors.  

There are many considerations in the cost of travel insurance for cruising, including but not limited to:  

  • The number of travellers,  
  • The ages of the travellers,  
  • Where the cruise is going to,  
  • The duration of the whole trip,  
  • The other types of activities that you may be planning to do: riding a motorcycle, moped or scooter, adventure sports, whether you'll be hiring a rental vehicle or bringing your bike with you,  
  • If you would like to increase the cover for your valuable items, and  
  • The type of policy you choose for your trip.
