More Detail
Medical Evacuation covers transportation to the nearest adequate medical facility in the event of a medical emergency while you’re traveling. The cost of evacuation from a cruise ship can be expensive, particularly in remote locations. We recommend at least $250,000 per person in Medical Evacuation coverage for cruise vacations. The Medical Evacuation benefit can cover the cost of an evacuation off a cruise boat, or from port, and even back home if deemed necessary.
