Family travel insurance fAQS

  • Why Do I need a cruise travel insurance for my family holiday?
  • Once you're out on open water, this is classed as overseas and as such you will not be covered by the public health system. You will need to select our Cruise Pack add-on, selecting the New Zealand Cruise region. This add-on is available with Comprehensive policies. This ensures you are covered for full medical coverage whilst on board, as well as cancellations, missed departures, lost luggage, and more.

  • If my family needs to stay longer overseas, can we extend our policy?
  • Yes, you can apply to extend your policy by either getting in contact with our friendly call centre team or alternatively you can log in to our Policy Manager.

    We advise that you log in to the Policy Manager or contact us as soon as you know you need to extend your policy (ideally 7 days (NZST) before your policy is due to expire), so that we can make sure your extension is guaranteed. Once a policy lapses we are unable to extend it.

"Reliable, efficient and comprehensive"

I have exclusively used 1Cover for travel insurance over the past 8 years, travelling extensively across 48 countries across 5 continents. I have consistently found their services to be reliable, efficient and comprehensive. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for your exceptional service.

Maryna M, September 2025

"I highly recommend 1Cover"

I had to postpone my flight overseas as I’d had an unexpected injury. I made another booking and had a change of date fee by the airlines. I submitted a claim to 1Cover and the whole claim was processed quickly and efficiently after I submitted the requested documents. I have travelled previously and also used 1Cover for my insurance even though I never had to make a claim however their policy for an elderly person was much more reasonable than other companies. I highly recommend 1Cover

Jenny M, September 2025

"Excellent service, brilliant communication"

The claim process was really easy, done online, 1Cover kept us up to date. Excellent service, brilliant communication. We will continue to use 1Cover

Bob O, August 2025

"Always Use 1Cover - Outstanding Service"

Hubby had an unexpected heart attack whilst in Los Angeles recently and was in hospital for a week. On top of that we couldn’t go home for another week until he got clearance to travel. The extra accommodation, food, car hire, Uber, flight expenses and medical costs were tens of thousands. 1Cover covered it all. Also, the telephone and email support I got whilst there and since we got home was amazing. Thanks 1Cover, highly recommended.

Deb D, August 2025

"Customer for life"

This is the first time I have had to submit a claim for travel insurance, I had to cancel a large portion of my trip due a death in the family. They made this so easy to deal with while having so many other things going on. Customer for life for sure.
