We are cruising with P&O Aus to New Caledonia and Vanuatu on May 30th 2023 and the information given on the P&O website says " Comprehensive insurance with Covid cover is highly recommended, but insurance policies will not be checked on embarkation or onboard ship. However, they also say that the New Caledonian authorities demand that all cruise passengers are required to have Covid cover.
This week we received an email recently saying that this type of insurance is required by the New Caledonian authorities and passengers without it will be refused to board.
We have spoken with other travel agents who say that New Caledonian authorities are not stating that this type of insurance is mandatory.
Basic cover with evacuation by air will cost $182. Comprehensive with Covid cover will cost us $720!!
Does anyone have any experience or advice please?
