Avoid cruise ship illness
Last updated: Thursday, December 18, 2003

Advance planning can help you avoid getting sick while on board.

Here's what to do:

  • Get the immunisations you need and preventive medicines for illnesses such as malaria.
  • Refill your medications and keep them in your hand luggage.
  • Check if your health insurance covers medical emergencies abroad.
  • Ask if there is a ship physician who is prepared to treat a range of illnesses and injuries, including life-threatening conditions.
