To qualify, insurance must be purchased within 14-21 days of your first trip deposit—delays forfeit this protection.

Mandatory Evacuation Coverage

High-risk polar activities require repatriation of remains and emergency medical coverage up to $500K+ for full protection.

Pre-Existing Condition Waivers

Com'è assicurarsi per Antartide

What it's like to insure for Antarctica

A Peninsula traveler booked a 12-day Antarctic voyage with a $48,000 trip cost. We matched the operator's $250k medical evacuation requirement on a single Pathway Premier policy. Mid-voyage, a Zodiac slip required helicopter transfer to the ship's clinic and onward to a Punta Arenas hospital — the carrier coordinated logistics end to end. Reimbursement landed in 11 days.
