Update: After a thorough, data-driven search, our medical director, Dr. Brian Martin has now been fielding resident feedback regarding the international health plan needs of people living on a private residence cruise ship. We are happy to provide this resource for all your insurance needs: [Insurance Consultants International](https://www.globalhealthinsurance.com/storylines)

We’ve received many inquiries from our US residents on whether their Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans will be accepted on board. According to travel.state.gov, these plans are valid as long as the insured is no more than six hours away from the coast of the continental United States or its territories.
When further abroad, it's important to consider the lower costs of healthcare and prescriptions in other countries when deciding what is actually necessary in an insurance plan.

We would also like to share comprehensive answers to the most frequently asked medical and insurance questions we have been receiving and a Q&A video interview with Dr. Martin, in which he answers residents' questions.
