Travel Insurance Coverage Options

Depending on what is most important for you to have covered, there may be a plan better tailored to your needs:

Marine Group Health Insurance

If you are a group of 5 or more marine crew members, you can get marine group health insurance. It can be customized to meet your group's specific needs. Once you submit the request for proposal, we will provide you the proposal in a few business days. In order to get the lowest rates, it may require additional underwriting including the group's prior claim history.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

Being a crew member and aboard the ship for an extended duration can be stressful. Therefore, you may want to take a break occasionally and go on vacation. However, it is important to purchase trip cancellation insurance just in case you need to cancel your trip unexpectedly. That would help you get the refund of non-refundable prepaid trip costs for covered reasons for cancellation. Traditionally, such plans have been available to US residents only. However, we offer several plans that are available for non-US residents as well.

Visitors to USA Insurance

Many marine crew members choose a coverage area excluding the US for their marine crew insurance to control the costs. Therefore, if you will be visiting the US for a short duration, you can purchase visitors insurance that can provide temporary medical coverage while in the US. There are many visitor medical insurance plans available. They will generally cover any new medical conditions, injuries or accidents that may occur after the effective date of the policy. However, some plans may additionally cover acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to a certain amount for people up to a certain age.

Group Travel Insurance

If a group of 5 or more crew members or yacht crew is traveling outside the area where their marine crew insurance covers, they should consider purchasing group travel medical insurance. It generally provides the same coverage as the individual plans but is usually 10% cheaper. Such short term health insurance would provide medical coverage, trip interruption, emergency medical evacuation, repatriation of remains, loss of checked luggage, AD&D and several other benefits.
