Cruise Travel Insurance with Medical Conditions

Finding suitable holiday insurance with pre-existing medical conditions doesn't have to be hard. Holiday Extras, consider all medical conditions, including asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and many more. Additionally, all Holiday Extras policies include emergency medical cover for when you're on holiday.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, this will need to be declared when you book so that we can make sure it's covered whilst you're away.

What's classed as a pre-existing medical condition when it comes to travel insurance?

A pre-existing medical condition is defined as an illness, injury or condition that exists before, or at the time, you take out an insurance policy. Even if some conditions have resolved, or you feel well, we may still need to assess them. This is so that we can provide you with the right level of cover.

Other things you may be asked about include whether you are taking any prescription medication, are awaiting investigation, or are suffering from any kind of psychological condition.



What's covered?

Choose from three different levels of cover, each with its own cover limits. Ranging from a simpler 'Bronze' plan to a higher level 'Gold' plan, you can tailor your policy to suit your needs. Explore the Policy Documents for more detail on cover.
