Insurance

Swoop Antarctica is not licensed to offer travel insurance, however we can provide advice. To get a quote we would recommend you contact a local provider or one of the suggested companies our customers use indicated below.

It is worth noting the different types of travel insurance available:

• Medical and Emergency Insurance is essential and you should not travel without it. It is relatively inexpensive to purchase.
• Pre Trip Cancellation cover provides financial protection in case of cancellation by you between the point you book your trip (and place down a deposit) and travel. As such this type of policy isn't necessary if you book close to your departure date. Given the cost of a trip to Antarctica having this protection in place is a good idea, however it is a more expensive policy.

When reviewing your intended insurance package there are a number of standard requirements every travel policy should include:

• Cancellation and Curtailment Charges
• Financial Failure
• Emergency Medical and Other Expenses
• Hospital Inconvenience Benefit
• Personal Accident
• Death
• Loss of Limb(s)/Sight
• Permanent Total Disablement
• Baggage and Passport
• Personal Money and Documents
• Personal Liability Journey
• Disruption including Airspace Closure
• Delayed Departure or Trip Cancellation
• Missed Departure/Connection
• Travel Risks: Hijack/Mugging etc.
• Legal Expenses

Please note these are general guidelines. For more detailed information of what is required for your specific voyage please refer to boat operators terms and conditions.
