When you cruise it is important to take responsibility for some of the potential medical dramas you are likely to encounter. I am lucky that my General Practitioner in Australia just happens to be a Travel Doctor. Every year I have my regular check up and up date my medical pack. You may find that when you purchase a pre-made medical pack it may cost less than purchasing each item individually on prescription.

Travelling and cruising with travel insurance is essential for a broad range of reasons. One especially if you have a medical mishap. Attending medical facilities on board a cruise or on foreign soil can be expensive. If you are a normally healthy person, with some reasonable precautions you may be able to avoid these if you have a well stocked medical pack. Of course if you condition does not improve or worsens, seek medical advice immediately. If you have pre-existing medical conditions seek medical advice as soon as you become unwell.

Pack your bags, including your medical kit and set sails for adventures on the high seas.
