2026 World Sprint Championships - Travel Insurance
The following information is for travel insurance for the 2026 World Sprint Championships in Singapore.
Waka Ama Aotearoa NZ has managed to secure comprehensive Travel Insurance for our New Zealand Teams and Management which is available to anyone travelling to Singapore as part of the IVF World Sprint Championship Aotearoa New Zealand contingent. The insurance is underwritten by TAI.
The policy includes cover for racing at the World Sprint Championships. It will cover all paddlers up to the age of 80. If you are 80 or over contact [email protected] directly as we can get insurance for you.
The Travel Insurance policy wording is attached below for you to review. Please note: you should read the Policy before purchasing the insurance.
The cost of the cover options are as follows:
- $18.00 per day for those racing
- $10 for anyone who is not racing
If you are racing at all then the whole journey is calculated at the racing amount $18 per day - you cannot mix and match the different rates.
There is a $25 service fee added to the total number of insurance days booked, plus a credit card processing fee.
When purchasing the insurance please ensure you calculate how many days are required; you need to include the day you leave NZ and the day you arrive back in NZ.
i.e., If you are leaving NZ 1st of August, returning (landing in NZ) 20th of August = 20 days (note: You may land at least one day after leaving Singapore due to crossing the international date line). This will ensure that you are covered for the duration of all travel.
Each traveler will need to purchase their insurance separately (per person).
The insurance will be available for anyone travelling to Singapore to purchase until the 17th July 2026.
It is not a requirement from Waka Ama Aotearoa NZ that you purchase this insurance. However, the Event Organisers have stipulated that all competitors must be covered by insurance for racing on water. We recommend anyone travelling and not racing has travel insurance.
Please note this insurance will cover you for the dates you provide as your departing Aotearoa New Zealand till the date you arrive back in Aotearoa NZ.
