Cruise travel insurance covering pre-existing medical conditions

If you're planning a cruise holiday, we have a specialist policy extension to ensure you are fully covered which includes a range of cruise specific benefits. Cruises are covered as standard on our policies however you can add the cruise extension to gain additional cover benefits if your trip is under 60 days in duration or if you're purchasing annual cover.

Our single trip cruise extension will cover trips of any duration, to both European and Worldwide destinations. The available single trip duration will vary depending on age, full details of which can be found in our policy wording.

If you have multiple trips planned, including a cruise, our annual multi-trip policies might be the best option for you. They will cover you for unlimited travel up to 31 days per trip, or 45 days if the trip extension is also selected from our policy options.

If your trip is eligible, cruise cover will be presented and should be added during the quote journey once you reach the options page. This will then be displayed on your policy schedule. If you already have a Freedom policy and wish to add the cruise extension, you can do so by phoning us on 01223 446 914.

Applying for cruise travel insurance with pre-existing medical conditions

You can apply here online or over the telephone; it’s quick, simple and totally confidential. To provide you with a quote, you’ll need to let us know where you are travelling to, and for how long. Make sure to declare all your pre-existing medical conditions for all travellers.

You will be guided through a medical screening questionnaire, where a series of relevant questions will be asked to assess your health and each individual condition. These questions should be answered accurately and to the best of your knowledge.

You will then be presented with available policy options at which point you will need to select the cruise extension for your Freedom policy to cover cruising.

Medical travel insurance frequently asked questions

Generally, Freedom is unable to offer cover for people on a waiting list for surgery but there are exceptions to the rule. Talk to the Freedom Call Centre on 01223 446 914 where we can look if there are any options available , it may be that we can find you a policy that excludes cover for the medical condition relating to the pending surgery.

Should your pre-existing medical conditions, directly or indirectly disrupt your holiday plans, maybe causing you to cancel or possibly resulting in emergency medical treatment abroad, providing you have told us about your medical conditions and cover has been agreed, you will be able to recover your expenses (excesses may apply).

You'll be presented with the cruise extension during our quote journey. Be sure to select this if you'd like to gain additional and cruise specific cover benefits for your trip.
