Travel Requirements

Each guest is responsible for obtaining valid passports, visas, proofs of citizenship and/or public health documents as may be required by governmental authorities or certain ports of call. Guest must provide identification information, including passport number, to Carrier in advance. Guest must present appropriate travel documents at time of boarding. Without proper documentation, Guest may be denied boarding by Carrier, and Carrier will not be responsible for any refund or be otherwise liable to Guest for such denial. In the event that Carrier provides courtesy advice to Guest regarding necessary travel documentation, Carrier does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of such advice, and Guest remains solely responsible for independently verifying and obtaining appropriate documents. Passports must be valid for six (6) months beyond the conclusion of your voyage.

Documentation

Final travel documents, including itinerary and vouchers (if applicable), will be sent approximately four (4) weeks prior to departure. Reservation must be paid in full, and Guest Information Form(s) must be received before documents will be sent.

Health and Disability Requirements

Guest must notify Carrier in writing at the time of booking of any physical or mental illness, disability or other conditions for which special accommodations or the use of a wheelchair is necessary or contemplated. Also, Carrier must be notified of any medical treatment that may render Guest unfit for travel or constitute a risk or danger to Guest or anyone else on board. While medical personnel are available on board, acute medical conditions may require you to disembark to be attended to by shoreside emergency and/or medical response, and you are advised that, due to the nature of travel by water, emergency medical evacuation may be delayed or impossible. Guests needing any form of assistance and those who are physically disabled must be accompanied by someone who will take full responsibility for any needed assistance during the cruise and in the event of an emergency. Carrier reserves the right to refuse passage to anyone who, in our sole opinion, may affect the health, safety or enjoyment of other guests. Guests requiring a wheelchair must provide their own collapsible wheelchair. Please be aware that some ports of call, shore excursions, docks, gangways and other requirements may preclude a wheelchair-bound guest from leaving the vessel; that decision will be made by the ship’s captain, and is binding. Also, there may be certain physical conditions, including raised doorway thresholds from 2 to 16 inches, stairways and narrow passageways within the vessel, that may limit or preclude the accessibility of wheelchair-bound guests to some areas. Carrier recommends that Guest purchase travel protection.

Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Protection

Under Public Law 89-777, the FMC requires vessels having berth or stateroom accommodations for fifty (50) or more passengers and that embark passengers from U.S. ports to maintain acceptable evidence of financial responsibility to indemnify passengers for nonperformance of transportation. Carrier maintains a surety bond insuring its financial responsibility, and holds a Certificate (Performance) issued by the FMC.
