Overseas Emergency Medical & Hospital
On international trips, emergency treatment, hospital care and medical evacuation are covered without a dollar limit. Trips within Australia rely on Medicare, so medical cover doesn't apply.

We're the travel business built for Australians over 60 — the same people who help you choose your cruises and tours. So we know what your trips look like, and we've built cover to match. A price takes about a minute.

- Every limit applies per person — not shared across the policy
- Choose your excess, from $0 to $500 on international trips
Travel with confidence with Travel at 60 Insurance
Unlimited overseas medical, limits that belong to each traveller rather than the policy, and an excess you set yourself.
Limits that are yours alone
Every cover limit on this policy applies to each traveller, not shared across the whole booking. Two of you travelling means two full sets of limits.

Unlimited overseas medical
On international trips, emergency medical and hospital treatment is covered without a dollar cap — including evacuation home if it's needed.
unlimited
An excess you choose
Pick $0, $100, $250 or $500 on international trips. Choosing $0 means nothing to pay towards a claim. Trips within Australia carry a fixed $100 excess.

Trip Cancellation & Interruption
$4,000 to $5,000 per person is included as standard, and you can raise the amount when you get your quote.

A benefit if you suffer accidental bodily injury on your trip that directly causes death or permanent total disablement.
Travel Delay Cover
Meals and accommodation when a covered delay leaves you waiting, up to the limit shown on your quote.
Personal Liability
Cover if you're held legally liable for injuring someone or damaging their property while travelling.
Other Included Benefits
Dental cover, pregnancy cover, and (if Luggage cover is selected) cover for your passport and travel documents as outlined in the PDS.
Cruising asks more of your cover
Cruise cover is an optional add-on on international trips, with its price shown to you before you buy.
Cruise travel insurance is your safeguard for all the unexpected things that can happen while you're cruising. It covers you for medical emergencies, trip interruption, or travel delay when you're cruising.
In short, it's your safety net on the high seas. Even the smoothest voyages can have a few bumps along the way.
Costly medical care
The ship's doctor isn't cheap, and serious cases may require expensive evacuation.
Itinerary changes
Bad weather can lead to changes in plans. Insurance can help cover the extra costs, where you have interruption cover.
Lost or stolen belongings
Accidents happen, but insurance protects you if your luggage or valuables go missing, where you have baggage cover.
Trip interruptions
Illness or emergencies might force you to end your cruise early. Insurance covers the costs, if you have selected interruption cover.
Sail with Confidence
No matter where your cruise takes you, the sea can come with its share of surprises—bad weather, sickness, or medical emergencies.
With Travel at 60's Cruise Travel Insurance, you can sail the world knowing you're protected.
Whether you're exploring the Mediterranean or navigating Alaskan glaciers, we've got you covered from start to finish. Focus on enjoying your journey, and let us handle the rest.
