Bonsoir à tous nous avons réservé notre premiere croisiere sur le costa concordia pour le 7 novembre de cette année.
Ce soir j'ai reçu un mail pour nous avertir que notre contrat d'assurance ne prenait pas en compte la grippe A, car cette maladie est classée comme épidémie.
Nous avons donc une nouvelle assurance complémentaire à souscrire pour etre pris en charge en cas de grippe A.
Avez vous reçu vous aussi ce mail?
Nous tenons à vous informer par la présente qu'à ce jour la grippe A/H1N1 est considérée comme une épidémie par le gouvernement et donc par les assurances, ce qui exclue la possibilité de se faire rembourser en cas d'annulation de votre voyage suite a la contraction de cette maladie. ( voir les conditions générales du GAN )
Après de multiples négociations nous sommes arrivés à obtenir de notre assureur la possibilité de contracter une assurance multirisque/complémentaire couvrant le risque de grippe A/H1N1 pour tous les voyageurs déjà assurés chez nous, par le biais de l'assurance multirisque/complémentaire moyennant une prime supplémentaire de 3.5% du montant du voyage.
Si vous désirez contracter cette assurance multirisque/complémentaire grippe A/H1N1, nous vous remercions de bien vouloir valider ce formulaire et de cliquer sur Envoi.
La somme de 50.92 € sera rajoutée au solde de votre dossier.
Je reconnais avoir pris connaissance de la police d'assurance multirisque/complémentaire Grippe A/H1N1, et j'autorise la société Qcns Cruise à prélever la somme de 50.92 € correspondant au 3.5% de la somme totale de mon dossier.
j ai moi aussi reçu ce message pour une transatlantique , au depart le 5.12.2009
réservée chez QCNS CRUISE.
nous avions déjà souscrit a l'assurance multirisque.
ce qui est encore plus scandaleux c' est que les 3, 5 demandés sont calculés sur le montant total .*
à savoir sur le prix du voyage en soi +L'assurance
en résume montant du voyage:6310 euros
assurance 316 euros.
3, 5 pour 100 sur 6626 euros.
il serait intéressant de savoir si des personnes ayant réservé par d autres agences ont aussi reçu cette bonne nouvelle.
peut-etre pourrons nous faire vacciner (humour).
Il ne savent plus quoi trouver pour gagné de l'argent !
Que eux se prémunisse contre une annulation ou une interuption de voyage (ce qui est arrivé cette été) passe encore mais leurs clients ...
Au début j'étais septique, la ca devient n'importe quoi ...
Bonsoir,
Une bonne nouvelle pour certains, une information pour les autres.

Je ne sais pas si je dois donner le nom de l'assurance et les organismes qui le propose. 😕
En message privé je peux certainement y répondre. 😏
bonjour il me serait donc agreable que vs puissiez me communiquer le nom de cette assurance si possible et surtout ce qui est important c'est si il y a rapatriement si probleme avec epidemie las bas merci athis : abf75@aliceadsl.fr
C'est scandaleux, mais si encore on peux faire une rallonge au contrat moyennant un prix correct çà peux passer, ce n'est pas normal mais vous partirez plus tranquilles.
Par contre moi j'ai payé mon voyage avec ma carte visa premier et je peux vous dire que j'ai téléphoné hier soir pour savoir en cas de rapatriement si l'assurance couvrait les frais, réponse NON si c'est en rapport avec la grippe A mais par contre si vous avez ces complications pulmonaires par en rapport avec la grippe A alors là OUI vous étes couvert. C'est vraiment du n'importe quoi!!!!😠
C' est assez inquiétant, les problèmes n'arrivent pas aux autres, car comme je n'ai pas l'assurance du voyagiste je ne sais pas si je vais trouver une solution. Je vais aller voir ma banque ce soir afin que l'on puisse me communiquer le nom leur assurance qui travaille pour VISA.
Affaire à suivre .....si vous avez des solutions... A+
réponse NON si c'est en rapport avec la grippe A mais par contre si vous avez ces complications pulmonaires par en rapport avec la grippe A alors là OUI vous étes couvert. C'est vraiment du n'importe quoi!!!!😠
🙂...
En fait si vous avez la grippe - A ou autre - sans complication il n'y a tout simplement aucune raison de vous rapatrier....
Je vais aller voir ma banque ce soir afin que l'on puisse me communiquer le nom leur assurance qui travaille pour VISA.
L'assistance rapatriement est confiée à Elvia ou Europ Assistance, c'est selon.
Mais en cas de grippe A sans complication aucune assurance ne vous rapatriera, parce qu'il n'y a pas à le faire, tout simplement.
il n'ya pas que ELVIA ou EUROPE assistance mais la MONDIALE aussi qui devant le tollé a accepté de rajouter la clause H&N1 en option voire ses clauses commev dit p 13
Le message que j'ai voulu passé c'était pour les personnes qui doivent être rapatriées en cas de gros soucis de santé, complications pulmonaires comme la personne que j'ai entendu à la radio qui a été rapatriée de Grece cout du transport 20 000€. Pour ma part, je veux souligner que si des personnes sont dans le même cas que le mien, à savoir que la carte Visa Premier n'accorde aucun remboursement (dans le cas de la grippe A) donc je me fais un peu de soucis mais bien sur si j'attrape la grippe comme une autre grippe d'ailleurs, je resterais au fond de mon lit et je prendrais des cachets, la question ne se pose plus. Souhaitons que tout se passe bien.😉
Pour l'instant avec ma carte Visa Premier je ne suis pas assurée pour le rapatriement en cas de grippe A pour des complications pulmonaires.(çà je le sais maintenant)
Vous avez vu le prix d'un transfert par avion!!!😠 Bon calmons nous, ce soir je suis passée à la banque , je me suis un peu énervée car la personne qui soit disant me renseigne, me donne le numéro d'appel de Visa que j'ai déjà appelé la veille donc çà a fini après quelques éclats de voix que demain la banque fera les démarches auprès des organismes à ma place et me tiendra au courant. Suspens!!! Attention à la réponse...!!!A suivre...A+
Pour ma part, je veux souligner que si des personnes sont dans le même cas que le mien, à savoir que la carte Visa Premier n'accorde aucun remboursement (dans le cas de la grippe A)
Remboursements de ?...
Si c'est juste la grippe sans complication, c'est du paracétamol, au pire du Tamiflu, si c'est avec complication, vous êtes pris en charge ; ce qui ne veut pas dire que vous êtes automatiquement rapatriée - voir le cas que vous évoquez ci-dessus ; on peut décider de vous soigner sur place.
Pour l'instant avec ma carte Visa Premier je ne suis pas assurée pour le rapatriement en cas de grippe A pour des complications pulmonaires.(çà je le sais maintenant)
Hi there,
Do you know of any good travel insurance? Usually, I go with the one from the agency. But this time, I want to travel independently, and I'm a bit lost.
Some people told me that when you pay with a credit card, you get the bank's insurance. But after checking with the bank, that's not true. Or else, you have to add an extra option and pay for it monthly.
So, I'm looking for insurance that covers cancellation, repatriation, lost luggage, etc.
Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
A friend has osteoarthritis in the knee and a meniscus problem, treated with regular injections.
Do you know of any insurance companies that cover pre-existing conditions in case their knee locks up in Africa?
Thanks a bunch!
A one-month trip to Australia and New Zealand.
We’re bringing our current medications (for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and antibiotics if needed) along with the corresponding prescription.
Do we need to have it translated into English, or do translations only apply to medications we’d need to refill locally during a long stay?
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
