If you test positive for COVID-19* on board your cruise and require medical assistance, you will be covered under the policy and an appropriate treatment plan would be agreed between the ship’s medical team and the insurer’s medical assistance team. This may depend on a large number of factors including age, underlying health, geographic location and severity of COVID-19 symptoms.
Please note that if you are disembarked at the insistence of any port authority or other such authority, without consultation with the insurer or against the recommendation of the insurer’s medical assistance team, then Holiday Extras will not cover for this eventuality. However, in those circumstances, P&O Cruises will organise and pay for your isolation stay and journey home. For further information, please click here.
