  • Our prices, like most online retailers, including VTG, are not live, only indicative.

     

    We do everything possible to ensure pricing is accurate when they are uploaded every Sunday.

     

    However, pricing in the cruise industry is no different from airfares. Prices can go up and down based on availability and can change, or indeed sell out, in the time it takes you to refresh your screen.

     

    When you request a quote we have to get into the reservation system of the cruise line and verify current-day pricing, which can be different from prices on our website. Pricing in the industry is all communicated electronically and this can lead to corrupted data and errors which we may not pick up until we ask for a specific quote.

     

    Until we place a firm hold on a cabin, prices can never be guaranteed. Failure to pay deposits by the set deadlines will void any quoted prices.

     

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why choose nib?
    nib has 24-hour support with call centre staff based in Australia and international phone numbers you can access around the world. Many online insurance providers have no call centres or anyone you can speak to before your policy commences or during the claim process. Other providers may require you to purchase cover more than 21 days prior to departure otherwise any Covid event will not be covered. Other providers have specific cruise coverage, but if you read the fine print, they may not cover Covid once you board a cruise ship or any time after that. Credit card insurance may not provide the cover you expect, ask us for our Credit Card Myths Flyer and a checklist you can use to check your level of protection. We offer policies with no age limits and single trips in excess of 60 days. Our multi-trip annual policies are now offered by very few providers. Often times our annual multi-trip policy will work out cheaper than a single-trip policy.
  • I work for an Australian airline as a pilot or cabin crew, am I covered while on an overnight?
    When you are operating a pattern and staying in a company provided hotel you are considered to be at work. While carrying out your duties as an employee, you should be covered by your employer’s worker’s compensation insurance. That is if you become unwell or injured, while on an aircraft, in company provided transport, within the crew hotel and what is considered reasonable proximity to the crew hotel. There are limitations, and crew that choose to leave the city where they are staying might not be covered by worker’s compensation. The problem has been that for crew who choose to go "Off-Station", (for example a trip from LA to Las Vegas), up until now there have been no options available to provide insurance protection in the event of an accident, lost luggage, or if medical assistance is required. As we all know, in the USA especially, public liability and medical costs can be crippling. The good news is nib’s Annual Multi Trip Plan can offer protection for cabin crew and pilots. Even snow sports can be covered for an additional premium. The details of exactly what situations are and are not covered are laid out in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). Continue reading below for a quick summary of key features of this cover but it is critical that you read and understand the PDS in full. What is covered? When you go "Off-Station", you are not considered to be at work, and provided you abide by all the terms and conditions of the policy, the cover includes: Rental vehicle insurance excess Overseas medical expenses (including for COVID-19) Repatriation Cover for certain COVID-19 related events Accidental loss, theft or damage to luggage By paying an additional premium other options can be added to a policy such as: Snow sports cover option Specified items option for high value items over $1000 such as: Personal Electronics Sports and other leisure equipment Other luggage Travel within Australia too This same protection is also applicable to Domestic Crew patterns, or for travel undertaken on days off, with the proviso that the trip: starts and ends at your home in Australia is more than 200 kms from your home in Australia. includes travel by either pre-paid scheduled public transport or hire car, or include at least one night of pre-booked publicly available accommodation "Off-Station" Insurance cover for cabin crew and pilots Save up to 30% Annual cover from $466 (Single policy - Age 59) For the same low price you also get: unlimited annual leave + leisure trips that are less than 45 days international and domestic for trips more than 200kms from home children can be added for free Pay a higher premium to add: your spouse/partner if single, a fellow single traveller cover for snow sports or high-value items like jewelry and laptops In a nutshell nib’s Annual Multi Trip Plan provides cover when you are not at work. When you go "Off-Station' you are considered not to be at work. This is premium coverage that will cover you for holidays as well. Always refer to PDS for coverage details >
  • What about Corona virus coverage?
    All Single Comprehensive and Annual Multi-Trip policies include coverage for Covid events. Important: Essential policies have no Covid protection. ​ The two elements to Covid cover which confuse many people are cancellation cost and medical/repatriation coverage. Single Comprehensive and Annual Multiple provide BOTH cancellation and medical
  • What cancellation costs due to Covid are covered?
    Both the Comprehensive/Annual Multi policies provide coverage for cancellation fees due to 8 covid specified reasons up to $2500 per person. If your policy is for one adult, that is $2500. If for two, that becomes $5000. You can add children to any policy but this limit of $2500 per adult will not increase. Insurance Cover is not available for loss arising from: government intervention including travel bans, border closures or broadly imposed quarantine requirements; events for which the Government has issued a 'Do Not Travel' warning for your destination, or failure to follow advice from official bodies, including vaccination advice where applicable. Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for detailed information.
  • What about medical costs and/or repatriation due to Covid?

  • Are there maximum age limits?
    There are no age limits, however, the cost of insurance increases with the risk. Expect policies for those over 70 to be expensive, as up until now it was almost impossible to secure insurance over this age.

  • Interline rules - Ts and Cs #
    INTERLINE CONDITIONS: In addition to all standard conditions of carriage of the operator you and all members of your travelling party must abide by the following: 1/ You must not disclose to any other guest on your cruise the nature of the discounts you have received. 2/ Any such breach can see the cruise operator, at their discretion, convert your fare to full commercial rates and you will be liable for the difference. 3/ As with staff travel on the airline of your employment, your behaviour must always be above reproach. Unruly and unacceptable levels of intoxication and abuse of staff are strictly forbidden and the operator has the right to offload you at any time. 4/ The operator can at any time revoke your ability to purchase future interline discounts. 5/ Interline rates are a privilege, not a right. You are entitled to them solely through the relevant interline agreement, which is a benefit directly related to your employment. Any unacceptable behaviour will be reported back to your employer which could result in the loss of airline staff benefits, and/or further disciplinary action. 6/ Eligible staff members need to realise that these rules apply to any beneficiary who books interline rates under their name. These rules must be clearly communicated to all passengers travelling under their benefit entitlement. INTERLINE RATES: You must provide us proof of employment in aviation for an Interline Rate. Unless otherwise advised, Interline bookings are non-refundable. Prices may change before departure. A price drop does not entitle you to any refund of your fare, (either deposits or full payments). We will always endeavour to get a price adjustment but understand that this is unlikely. FAB does not guarantee or warrant cruise itineraries. Itinerary changes are at the discretion of the cruise lines. Changes to itineraries are governed by the T&Cs of the cruise lines.

  • Eligibility + Verification
    All interline rates are fares are strictly controlled - closed rates. To obtain a quote and to book we must first verify that you are eligible. Our contracts with the cruise lines require us verify everyone who requests access to interline fares, at time of booking and potentially onboarding on request. There are some grey areas. Technically the rules refer to current and 'retired' staff. Sometimes benefits can be extended to people who have worked for an airline for some time and have left prior to retirement age. All of our contracts are different and if in doubt it is critical that ask us before making any deposit payment. As a general rule if you still have access to airline staff discounts you will automatically be accepted by the cruise lines. Your parents can travel without you, and in almost all cases you can book a second cabin at interline rates even for people that don't work for an airline, The only requirement is that you travel on the same cruise. Your parents may also be able to book two cabins as well. If you want to book. ore than two cabins, ask us, as some lines will permit us to book several with just one ID. If your service was some time ago, the cruise lines with automatically ask for a statement of service. This must detail start and end of years of service. A training certificate or similar will automatically be rejected. If you were at Ansett at the time of the collapse refer to our separate section especially for you.
