Where to find it in the PDS: Section 1 – The Terms on Cancelling Your Policy

If you’re cruising within Australia:

• You should select the Domestic Plan, and
• Add the Cruise Pack if your cruise is two nights or more

The Cruise Pack provides additional benefits including Cabin Confinement, Missed Cruise Departure, Shore Excursion Cancellation, and more.

Yes, you can apply to extend your policy if:

• You request the extension before your current policy expires
• You haven’t made a claim and you’re not aware of anything that may result in a claim
• You continue to meet the eligibility criteria for your plan (including age and health requirements)

Approval of extensions is at the insurer’s discretion, and an additional premium may be required.

Where to find it in the PDS: Circumstances in Which You Can Extend Your Policy

An excess is the amount you contribute if you need to make a claim.

• You choose your standard excess amount at the time you purchase your policy
• If your claim is approved, the excess will be deducted from your total payout
• Additional excesses may also apply.
