Norway's fjords are made for adventure. From hiking through dramatic mountain landscapes to kayaking across the fjords and crossing a glacier with a guide, this isn't your average sightseeing trip.
With a maximum altitude of 1,700m, altitude isn't the main insurance consideration here. Instead, it's making sure your policy covers the range of activities included in your EverTrek Norway Fjords adventure.
What Does Norway Fjords Travel Insurance Need To Cover?
Your travel insurance must cover the activities you'll be taking part in during the trip, as well as the maximum altitude reached.
For the EverTrek Norway Fjords adventure, your policy should include:
- Trekking up to 1,700m
- Kayaking
- Guided glacier crossing
- Emergency medical expenses
- Medical repatriation
- Trip cancellation
- Helicopter evacuation cover up to your itinerary’s maximum altitude (strongly recommended, but not mandatory)
When getting a quote, select the Europe including Morocco, Egypt & Israel option and check whether you need an adventure sports or activities add-on.
Does Travel Insurance Cover Kayaking and Glacier Crossings?
This is one of the most important things to check when choosing your insurance for Norway.
The EverTrek itinerary includes kayaking in the fjords and a guided glacier crossing, and these activities aren't necessarily included in every standard travel insurance policy.
Insurance companies can classify adventure activities differently, so don't assume you're covered simply because your policy includes hiking or trekking.
Before purchasing, check that the policy wording specifically covers kayaking, guided glacier activities and trekking up to 1,700m.
Don't Forget Medical And Repatriation Cover
Your policy must include emergency medical expenses and medical repatriation.
Although we do everything we can to make our adventures safe and well organised, you're heading into mountain and wilderness environments where unexpected situations can happen.
Appropriate insurance can help cover eligible medical costs during your trip and, where included in your policy, the cost of returning to the UK for medical treatment.
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, make sure you declare them when arranging your insurance and check they're covered.
What About Trip Cancellation?
Travel insurance can be useful before you even reach Norway. Your policy must include trip cancellation cover, which may help with eligible non-refundable costs if an unexpected event means you can't travel.
We recommend arranging your insurance soon after booking and checking when your cancellation cover begins and what circumstances are included.
Which Travel Insurance Providers Does EverTrek Recommend?
There are plenty of insurance providers out there, so the important thing is finding a policy that covers the activities and requirements of your particular adventure.
Based on our experience and feedback from EverTrekkers, we suggest looking at:
What Insurance Documents Should You Take?
Before you head to Norway, make sure your insurance details are easy to access.
We recommend bringing a printed copy of your insurance certificate, including your insurer's 24-hour emergency contact number.
It's also a good idea to save a digital copy on your phone and keep your policy number somewhere easy to find.
Hopefully you'll never need them, but having your documents ready means one less thing to think about if something unexpected happens.
