• Adventure travellers who want activities covered without a separate rider

Worth knowing before you buy

• Cancel-for-any-reason cover is on Gold and Platinum only, needs the plan bought within 30 days of your initial travel booking, and pays 50% of the covered costs. Curtailment for any reason requires the trip to have started at least 48 hours before your return, and the policy pays no more than two such claims in a policy year. source: greateasternlife.com · verified 2026-08-16
• Great Eastern publishes no benefit figures on the product page at all — no medical, baggage or cancellation limits. You will only see them in the quotation flow or the policy wording, so compare the numbers there before buying.
• Pre-existing cover, cancel-for-any-reason and adventure activities are all limited to the Gold and Platinum plans. source: greateasternlife.com · verified 2026-08-16
• Adventure cover pays for death or injury only, and each named activity carries its own conditions — trekking below 4,000 metres, diving to 30 metres with a PADI certificate or equivalent and a certified buddy or qualified instructor, rafting below Grade 4, winter sports on a recognised piste, and a licensed operator throughout. source: greateasternlife.com · verified 2026-08-16
• Travel to UN-sanctioned countries is excluded.

Great Eastern’s travel product is GREAT TravelCare, and it is aimed at travellers who need cover for things other policies treat as exceptions: a medical history, an adventurous itinerary, or a trip longer than a month.

Pre-existing conditions can be added to the Gold or Platinum plan for an extra premium, and the wording covers claims resulting from a pre-existing condition generally — diabetes, stroke and heart disease are Great Eastern’s own examples rather than a list it defines. The add-on ends 45 days after the trip starts, so on a long trip it covers the beginning of the journey rather than all of it. Adventure activities come with a named list running from mountaineering and white-water rafting to diving with breathing apparatus and winter sports, each with its own conditions and each paying for death or injury. And a single trip can run to 182 consecutive days — the longest in our set, though four other insurers match it and the remaining four allow 180 — with one exception inside that four: Income’s Enhanced PreX plans cap a single trip at 60 days, the shortest limit here.

One caveat shapes how you should read this page: Great Eastern publishes no benefit figures on its product page. Where other insurers list their medical, baggage and cancellation limits, GREAT TravelCare describes what is covered without saying how much. We publish a figure only where we can read it in a document we hold, so the figures here come from the policy wording, whose address Great Eastern does not publish — the page says so beside each figure and names the committed copy it was read from.
