The Shoreside Health Insurance Plan, or SHIP, is an excellent solution for Captains, Officers and Crew who are looking for health insurance coverage while between contracts or on vacation.

SHIP is designed specifically for Captains, Officers and Crew working in the cruise industry and provides up to $500,000 in medical benefits for costs arising from an accident or an illness. Plans are surprisingly affordable, starting at just over $2 a day making vacation health insurance one of the smartest uses of your money!
Coverage is available to all nationalities from 60 to 180 vacation days per year. Any unused days can be carried forward to your next sign off within the same policy year. Online enrollment is also simple and next day coverage is available, eliminating the danger of uncovered accidents as you wait for your policy to go into effect.
