Yes! All guests must obtain a Travel Protection Plan prior to leaving their home country. This Plan must cover personal injury, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, evacuation expenses, and pre-existing medical conditions. Additionally, passengers are strongly advised to carry a Travel Protection Plan, which includes coverage for cancellation, curtailment, trip interruption, and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay, or inconvenience occurring to or otherwise involving a passenger. As any potential evacuation from, e.g,. Antarctica can cost up to $150,000, we recommend that no policy carry less than this amount of coverage. Polar Latitudes Expeditions will require information as to insurance carrier, policy number, and a 24-hour contact number from all guests prior to embarkation.
