#  Am I Covered for COVID-19 During My Upcoming Cruise?

Yes — **Emergency Medical Care** does cover you for **COVID-19** while you're on your cruise, **as long as**:

* You’ve followed all federal travel vaccine requirements issued by the **Government of Canada** for **entry and/or return to Canada**, and
    
* The country you're cruising to isn't under a **government-issued travel advisory** to avoid all or non-essential travel due to COVID-19 **at the time of your departure**.


🚫 **Not Covered If...**

You're **not covered** for COVID-19-related expenses if:

* You're travelling to a destination under a **Government of Canada advisory** against all or non-essential travel (in effect **before** your departure date).
    
* The advisory is related to COVID-19, and you proceed with travel regardless.

If a COVID advisory is issued **after** you've already left, you’ll need to **make necessary changes** to your travel plans to remain eligible for coverage.


 ⚠️ **Benefit Limits to Know**

Some medical benefits have **set limits**. For example:

* Treatments like **physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy or podiatry** (if prescribed by a doctor) are **capped at $300 per discipline**.
