Question

I was wondering if there are travel insurances that cover people on kidney dialysis on a cruise ship?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what exactly your question refers to. Are you referring to coverage in case you need to cancel due to a kidney condition?

In general, no. Insurance does not normally cover "pre-existing" conditions. Those are medical conditions for which you've been treated within a specified period of time before you purchased the policy.  

Sorry!

Answer 2

Try this web site for Travelux travel insurance.  I use them for my travels and they have a policy that covers medical stuff:

Answer 3

Dialysis at Sea is the largest provider of dialysis services aboard cruise ships. This is a great site for anyone who wants to cruise, but also requires dialysis. I had  aconversation with a nurse who worked at sea on one of the cruises, and said it was wonderful to know that people could still travel while receiving treatment for their condition.

Answer 4

It's best you ask a travel agent this question, so you can be sure of getting the correct answer. This is too important of a question to just ask anyone.

Answer 5

You can buy travel insurance however, it will not cover pre-existing medical conditions but will cover you for new illnesses or injuries.
