You don't need to have an EHIC to be covered by it. Because you are entitled to public healthcare here you are covered in other EEA states. If you need a doctor and you haven't a card with you, you can ring the number on the back of the card and a cover note can be faxed over. Take insurance as well. It doesn't cover private hospitals or doctors, or repatriation.

European Health Card.

We are going on a cruise up the coast of Norway in July. We have travel insurance though the tour company (Saga). Do we need a European Health Card too?

Gibraltar

Is Gibraltar a member of the EU? The Department of Health website, where you apply for a European Health Insurance Card, doesn't have it on its list.
