MStarzky Posted July 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I asked in the canadians forum but haven't really gotten a good response, msc doesnt specifically state a fully vaccinated person needs the covid insurance for their cruise. Does that mean i can just get regular insurance with say manulife and I'll be fine? The MSC agents aren't really that helpful, one told me i needed covid insurance another said I was fine with regular travel insurance.

Hi MStarzky, I no longer have plans for Canadians, so I suggest you contact a travel insurance in Canada for the answer. Steve Dasseos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon1927 Posted July 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Called Manulife they are not selling covid insurance due to the no sail advisory. Im having a hard time finding insurance as a Canadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean163 Posted July 24, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2021 We have been told there is no cruise insurance of any kind at the moment for Canadians because of the no sail advisory. We haven't been able to get trip cancellation or anything for our December 2021 cruise. Has anyone found a company that will provide either trip or medical insurance (not necessarily Covid) for cruises while the advisory is in effect?

bcolts Posted July 30, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I contacted Manulife and they are not issuing insurance due to the Canadian Government Travel Advisory to avoid cruises. TUGO, another provider, is also not insuring cruise travel as they consider the Advisory a Level 4. If anyone knows an insurance company in Canada that is offering emergency medical, COVID and preexisting coverage for cruises to people over 61, who are fully vaccinated, please let all of us know.

DebbieActon Posted August 12, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2021 BlueCross is now covering Covid on cruises under their Travel Medical Insurance at least in Ontario. I confirmed with 2 different reps there. I do not know about your preexisting conditions but vaccination status does not matter. Although, I would think now that this has been announced, Manulife may need to reconsider?? https://news.paxeditions.com/news/cruise/blue-cross-has-resumed-selling-travel-insurance-cruises-canadians?fbclid=IwAR3nG0fk2_GraGSszDhrWdtBr4pCRZsuRh0p_Queam_zV4X0RYLKVfOysXE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhorn Posted August 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It doesn't seem like Blue Cross is offering Covid related travel insurance for PEI...I went on their website last night and navigated through their questions and came up empty....also, it appears Manulife tote a Covid related policy but my interpretation is it is only for trips longer than 31 days....no good for my cruise vacation.....am I missing something?
