Is it possible to get sensibly priced insurance for a 84 year old man cruising on a ship with medical staff?

I always get insurance when I cruise from non-US ports and I have used one company several times; Travelex. There is no requirement for a medical evaluation and they offer several options for coverage. I have also filed a claim with them when we had an unplanned cruise itinerary change which required us to book different travel reservations to get home. The company paid the claim promptly and with no hassles.

Another web site that I have used to compare travel insurance is this one:

The ensurance companys always thinks in terms of risks and costs so insuring an 84 year old would definately be considered risky and thus costy. So I would expect to pay an preatty high age penalty. But if he is in condition for a nile cruise then a doctors insurence off his health isnt wrong to get. That maybe get the insurance companys on better mode.

I dont want to scare you and have no idea were you from but to me a nile cruise sounds like a huge adventure for such an old man. Have you considered a cruise in the more mainstream market, maybe even one that departures and arrives in your hown town so you can avoid flying? Johan.
