Bid farewell to your ship and all your new friends as you prepare for your onward journey.

We kindly advise you that stateroom check-out is at 9:00AM in preparation for the next sailing. Between 9:30am and

time. For those waiting for later flights, transfers, or onward connections, we invite you to enjoy the rest of the ship after
12:30pm until it is time for you to disembark.

**If you have not already made appropriate transfer arrangements, AmaWaterways transfers may still be purchased prior to
your departure day. Please contact your travel agent or AmaWaterways directly at 1-800-626-0126.
TRAVEL INFORMATION & TIPS
VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

For river cruises in 2023 and 2024, AmaWaterways is not requiring proof of Covid-19 vaccination to board our
ships. All guests traveling with AmaWaterways remain responsible for ensuring they meet the travel entry
requirements for each country they plan to visit before, during or after their river cruise. These requirements, as
mandated by airlines and individual countries or regions, may change without notice and cancellation fees will
apply should guests no longer meet the country entry requirements for their cruise or land program.

PREPARATIONS FOR YOUR TRIP

Passports & Visas
A passport is required for all AmaWaterways river cruises and we kindly ask you ensure it is valid for at least six months after
you return home. It is your responsibility to ensure the validity of your passport and that it contains all required visas. Please
check your itinerary carefully and consult with the appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed. This also
applies to vaccination and testing requirements which may change with little advance notice. Vacations can be disrupted or
altered if the correct documents cannot be presented at airports or border crossings. We recommend photocopying the first
page of your passport, proof of vaccination, airline tickets, driver’s license and/or birth certificate to expedite the process of
replacing any documents lost while traveling. Keep the originals separate from the copies and pack some extra passport
photos as well. Another option is to scan your passport, airline tickets, proof of vaccination and credit card numbers and
email them to yourself as attachments. Please be sure to fill out the “Emergency Next of Kin” section in your passport (in
pencil) as well.

Online Check-in
AmaWaterways’ convenient online Cruise Check-In becomes available once final payment has been made on
your reservation. We require that each step of your Cruise Check-In, including our Health Questionnaire, is
completed to board our ships. To complete, visit our website at www.AmaWaterways.com/Check-In. In addition
to providing the mandatory information required for embarkation, the Cruise Check-In process:
 Ensures your personal information, as it appears on your passport, is correct
 Includes your required pre-cruise Health Questionnaire
 Provides us with an emergency contact in the unlikely event of an emergency
 Allows you to pre-register for all your shore excursions

Tips for Long Flights

 Wear loose-fitting clothing and comfortable shoes.
 Based on current airline regulations in place, you may be required to wear a medical grade mask (or N95/KN95) so
you may want to have several with you in order to change during the flight.
 Avoid caffeine, alcohol and carbonated drinks and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
 Alleviate ear pressure by chewing gum, yawning, swallowing or gently blowing your nose.
 Periodically walk up and down the aisle to stretch your legs and get blood circulating. You can also do a few isometric
exercises while seated.
 Try to sleep during your overnight flight – an eye mask, noise cancelling headphones and a light sweater or scarf may
 help you to be more comfortable and sleep so you can acclimate to the local time more quickly.
 Avoid wearing contact lenses during your flight, as recirculated cabin air tends to dry them out.

Airport Security and Check-in

It is recommended you be at the airport at least three hours before international flights and two hours before domestic
flights. This allows enough time to check your baggage, present your passport and other forms required including proof of
vaccination or related tests, confirm seat assignments and boarding passes, and clear security procedures before proceeding
to the boarding area. Most airlines offer online check-in 24 hours prior to departure, which can help you avoid long lines once
at the airport. If permitted, this is also a chance to request seating assignments or buy an upgrade if available. Airport
security regulations require that sharp objects of any kind be stored inside your checked luggage, not in your carry-on bag.
You may be asked to put your shoes and/or coat through an X-ray scanner, so be prepared to remove them.

TSA Secure Flight Program

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires all passengers to provide Secure Flight passenger data when
reserving airline travel. This includes your full name, date of birth and gender as it appears on non-expired government-
issued travel documents (e.g., passport, re-entry permit, alien registration card, “green card,” photo ID, etc.). Any missing or
incorrect information can cause unnecessary delays at the airport. If you reserved your airline tickets through
AmaWaterways and have not yet provided us with this Secure Flight passenger data, please contact our office as soon as
possible at 800-626-0126 or 818-428-6198 (if dialing from outside of the U.S.). Please refer to your local transportation
authorities for more information.

Late or Missed Flights

If you miss a flight, immediately advise an airline representative that you are a cruise guest bound for a specific
location/date/time to meet your ship. If your flight is cancelled, await instructions from the airline regarding alternate travel
arrangements. Typically, airlines will do everything in their power to get you on the next available flight. Once you know your
new flight information, please call the emergency contact number listed within this Travel Document.

Travel Protection Insurance

We strongly recommend you purchase travel protection insurance that includes coverage related to Covid-19. If you
purchased travel protection insurance, please make sure to write down important information such as the insurance
company’s telephone number and your policy number.

Baggage
International air carriers are often very strict about the size and weight of baggage and carry-on luggage. Please contact
your air carrier or visit its website for specific requirements prior to your departure, as size and weight limitations vary
according to the airline and destination. It is also important to check European domestic flight regulations as these too may
vary. Passengers on international flights are usually allowed one piece of checked luggage and one carry-on bag per person.
Some airlines limit each checked bag to a maximum of 62 linear inches (158 linear cm, length + width + height) and 50 lbs.
(23 kg). Your carry-on should not exceed 22 x 14 x 9 inches (55 x 35 x 22 cm) or weigh more than 17 lbs. (8 kg). International
air carriers may impose fees for baggage that is too large or heavy and/or require you to remove certain articles in order to
meet weight restrictions.

Note: Please check airline websites for specific baggage weight, baggage size, carry-on regulations, and excess or
overweight baggage charges all your flights (both international and intra-Europe).

Important: AmaWaterways is not responsible for any additional fees imposed by air-carriers. In addition, during your cruise
and when traveling by motorcoach, storage space may be limited and porters may decline to carry extra heavy suitcases for
health and safety reasons. We recommend bringing only one suitcase and one carry-on bag per guest. We also suggest
putting your contact information, such as your name, cell phone number and email as well as the hotel and/or ship contact
information inside your bags, just in case they are delayed.

Delayed Baggage
Baggage can sometimes be delayed during air transport. Pack medications and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag.
Place a copy of the hotel and ship contact info inside each piece of checked luggage, as this will help the airline locate you
should your bags be delayed. Please note it is the responsibility of the airline to deliver any delayed bags to you. Claims for
reimbursement for delayed luggage should be submitted directly to the airline. Fill out a claim form at the appropriate airline
desk before leaving the airport. If you need assistance later regarding your delayed luggage, please ask your Cruise Manager
or local host to contact the airline for information.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING

Enhanced Health & Safety Protocols

Our teams are experienced with enhanced health and safety protocols and are ready and eager to safely welcome you on
board. Our experienced Cruise Managers and crew have undergone special training and will be advised and guided by a Public
Health Officer. As always, our crew will be on hand to take care of all the details so you can relax and enjoy your much-
anticipated river cruise vacation.

Visit our Health & Safety page (www.AmaWaterways.com/Protocols) to learn more about some of the measures in place to
protect you and our crew on board and ashore.

Physical Requirements
AmaWaterways itineraries are as varied and active as you want them to be. Cruising days provide ample opportunities to
relax on board, while shore excursions require a moderate amount of walking, often along Europe’s uneven cobblestone
streets, inclines, and up and down stairs. To better accommodate our guests and their individual fitness levels, we offer three
levels of walking tours whenever possible: “Regular Walkers” go at an average pace, “Gentle Walkers” proceed in a more
relaxed manner and “Active Walkers” walk at a faster pace, covering more sights and locations in the same amount of time.
Whenever possible, we also offer a “Late Starters” group for guests who prefer to sleep in a bit.

Medical Conditions
Please advise us before your departure date if you have any medical conditions requiring special attention during your
journey.

Special Diets
Please let us know prior to your departure date if you have any special dietary requirements (e.g., vegan, diabetic, gluten-
free, etc.). We will make every effort to accommodate your request with the resources available to us.

TRAVEL MONEY TIPS

ATM (Automated Teller Machine) / ABM (Automated Banking Machine)
Our ships do not have cash machines, but ATMs and ABMs are widely available throughout Europe and are readily accessible
during shore excursions. Please be sure to bring your personal pin number or security code for your card(s). Prior to your
departure, we recommend notifying your bank of your travel plans, so they can inform you of any applicable foreign
transaction fees and/or restrictions.

Credit Cards
Major credit cards (Visa/MasterCard/American Express) are accepted in most European shops, hotels and restaurants.
Please ensure your credit cards are valid for at least 30 days after you return home and activate them before you travel.
Some places may require a minimum charge for using credit cards and others may not accept certain cards, so it’s best to
bring more than one. As with your ATM card, we recommend informing your credit card company that you will be traveling
abroad, so they can expect overseas charges on your account.

Note: We recommend you bring a chip-style credit card and memorize your PIN number as most European countries use
chip-and-pin credit cards. Cards with magnetic strips on the back (commonly used in North America) are used less
frequently and may not work. You might want to carry some extra cash in your wallet to use in these situations just in case.

Travelers Checks
Travelers Checks can be exchanged for local currency on board in limited amounts (Mexican Travelers Checks are not
accepted). There may be a foreign transaction fee for this service and daily conversion rates apply.

Settling Your Bill On Board

The day before your river cruise ends, you will receive an invoice for any onboard charges you may have made. Please review
it carefully before settling your bill. All onboard charges will be in Euros, payable with cash (Euros) or credit card. Pre-paid
charge cards are not accepted. Your credit card company will convert your onboard charges into your home country’s
currency at the current exchange rate and service fees may apply. Please note that your onboard charges will not be
referenced as "AmaWaterways Los Angeles" on your credit card statement; rather, it will list the ship name.

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Your Essential European River Cruise Packing Guide

Our best advice is, “if in doubt, leave it out.” Adopt a simple color scheme for your travel wardrobe to reduce the amount of
clothing required. Pack wrinkle-resistant, easy-care cotton/polyester clothing and bring enough underwear and socks so
frequent laundry is not necessary. You may wish to bring a few casually elegant outfits and something a little dressier to
wear to the Captain’s Dinner or an evening concert. Bring comfortable walking shoes for shore excursions and one pair of
dressier shoes.

You may be traveling through different climates and altitudes, so layering is advisable. Europe can be quite warm in the
summer, so short sleeve shirts, shorts, skirts, sundresses and a wide-brimmed hat are good items to pack. Bring a raincoat
and warm sweater for chilly evenings, especially in the spring and fall, and warmer clothing and a heavy coat for winter
cruises. Umbrellas are provided on board.

Carry-On Luggage
Prepare your carry-on luggage with the necessary essentials. Our suggestions for what to pack:

 Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, comb or hairbrush, razor, feminine products and cosmetics
 Sunscreen and sunglasses
 Hand sanitizer, tissues and antibacterial wipes
 Based on current airline regulations in place, you may be required to wear a medical grade mask (or N95/KN95) so
you may want to have several with you in order to change during the flight.
 Basic first aid kit: medications for upset stomach, prescriptions, aspirin, antiseptic cream, cold medicine, vitamins and
bandages
 Prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses
 Converters, adapters, chargers and power cords
 Personal ear buds or headphones to use with our Quietvox commentary systems during shore excursions
 Travel umbrella
 Camera and extra memory cards
 Smart phone (if you do not have a smart device with these capabilities, we recommend a mini flashlight and small
calculator for currency conversions as well)
 Proof of vaccination, if required

Note: Current airport security regulations require that any liquids and semi-liquids (e.g., lotions, gels, etc.) stored in your
carry-on bag MUST be in a container no larger than 3.4 oz. (100 ml) and all items must fit into a clear quart-sized plastic bag.
Any items exceeding this limit may be confiscated by TSA personnel. Please refer to your local transportation authorities for
more information.

Important: Pack a sufficient supply (including two weeks beyond your planned return) of any medications you are taking,
copies of the prescriptions and the telephone/fax numbers of your doctor. Some countries require prescription drugs be
carried in their original container with the label clearly visible.

Note: Europe uses 220v and 2-pin adapters. Be sure to inspect your chargers and power cords (for cell phones, cameras,
electric shavers, laptops, MP3 players, e-readers, etc.) to determine specific converter and/or adapter requirements to ensure
their safe operation aboard the ship. Every stateroom has a USB charger should you need to use it.

EMBARKATION & DISEMBARKATION

Official embarkation time is 3 p.m. for all ships. This allows the staff and crew enough time to prepare your stateroom and
have the ship ready for your cruise. If you arrive earlier, you may check your luggage on board and relax in the Main Lounge
or explore the local area. Between 9:30am and 12:30pm our crew is cleaning and sanitizing the ship so we are unable to allow
guests onboard during that time.

Official disembarkation time is 9 a.m. You may disembark earlier if the ship is moored in your final destination. You may
disembark later provided you have vacated your stateroom and have checked out no later than 9 a.m. Between 9:30am and
12:30pm our crew is cleaning and sanitizing the ship for the next guests so we are unable to allow guests onboard during that
time.

DURING THE CRUISE

Reception
The ship’s reception desk is open 24 hours a day. Should you need any assistance, simply stop by anytime or call from your
stateroom by dialing 9.

Onboard Language

Smoking
Smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted anywhere inside the ship, only at the rear of the Sun Deck. For the safety
and comfort of all guests on board, your cooperation in observing the no-smoking policy is greatly appreciated.
Ship Schedule
The ship departs promptly from each port in accordance with its cruising schedule. The ship is unable to delay departure for
guests who may not be on board. Unless you are on a shore excursion accompanied by an AmaWaterways guide, it is your
responsibility to make your own way to rejoin the ship at a subsequent stop. Without limitation, AmaWaterways is not liable
for any costs incurred if you miss the ship’s departure for any reason.

Gratuities
Although we leave gratuities to your discretion, many of our guests have asked for general tipping guidelines. Gratuities may
be charged on a credit card or given in cash. For good service, we recommend 25 Euros per guest/per week for the Cruise
Manager and 120 Euros per guest/per week for the crew (to be divided among all ship personnel). It is also customary to tip
a particularly good local guide and motorcoach driver up to 2 Euros per guest/per tour. Gratuities to your Cruise Manager
and the ship’s crew may be paid with credit card (charged in Euros) by adding them to your onboard bill or with cash. Tips
for local guides and motorcoach driver may only be paid with cash direct to them at the end of the tour.

When tipping the ship’s crew, the entire amount will be divided equally amongst all crew members. Please note your Cruise
Manager is not part of the ship’s crew and is the AmaWaterways representative who also accompanies you on any pre-
and/or post-cruise hotel/land packages you may have booked. If you booked one of our optional land packages, we
recommend tipping your Cruise Manager 4 Euros for each day of your land package. This is in addition to the recommended
guidelines for the river cruise portion.

you prefer to sleep in there are even some options for late risers.

Special Interest Tours

In select cities, we offer one or more included Special Interest Tours, unique alternative shore excursions with a highly
specific focus, such as culinary demonstrations and local specialties tastings. These excursions are ideal if you are returning
to a previously visited destination or simply want to try something different. Space may be limited on Special Interest Tours,
so if you are interested, we encourage you to reserve a spot online by completing your Cruise Check-In.

Biking and Hiking Excursions

Guided hiking and biking tours bring breathtaking scenery to life as you pedal through the heart of Europe or leave your
footprints behind while venturing to new heights.

Personal Audio “Quietvox” Device

We will provide you with a sophisticated, lightweight audio headset device to take on shore excursions, so you never have
to miss a word of your guide’s insightful commentary.

Motorcoach Safety
For your safety, you will be asked to remain seated with your seatbelt fastened, plus based on current regulations, you will
be required to wear appropriate face masks. We strongly advise against using the onboard washroom while in motion; please
be advised that doing so will be at your own risk. AmaWaterways and its affiliates are not responsible for any injuries
sustained for failing to heed these safety precautions. Carry-on bags, purses and other bulky items should be safely stowed

moment to note all emergency exits and please be careful whenever entering and exiting the motorcoach.

Bicycle Safety
You may sign up for our guided bicycle tours only once you are on board. Safety helmets are provided and must be worn by
every participant. Please follow the safety instructions provided by our bike tour guides. Your Cruise Manager will provide
more information and further instruction on board. Please be advised the use of bicycles will be at your own risk;

Daily Cruiser Newsletter

We recommend carrying each day’s onboard newsletter with you whenever going ashore, as it contains the ship’s docking
address, All Aboard times and your Cruise Manager’s and ship telephone numbers. The Daily Cruiser is also available within
our convenient myAmaCruise app, which can be downloaded prior to your sailing.

Water Levels
In the event of fluctuating water levels on certain stretches of the river, it may be necessary to operate part of your planned
itinerary by motorcoach or to alter the daily program as determined by the ship’s Captain.

DOCKING LOCATIONS

Some European ports have more than one docking location, so please refer to your electronic travel documents for the exact
location. Local river authorities are responsible for allocating docking spaces and locations may vary depending upon the
number of ships in port on any given day. Ships typically moor facing upstream, against the current. There may be times
when multiple ships are tied together and views from your stateroom are temporarily restricted. These are typical situations
that are beyond the control of AmaWaterways. Docking locations may also change without notice. For guests making their
own way to the ship, please contact the ship on the day of embarkation to verify its exact location.

PLEASE NOTE: Depending on the most up-to-date Health and Safety Protocols in effect, certain amenities and procedures
may be impacted on board. You may refer to our Travel Advisory page at amawaterways.com/travel-updates, contact your
travel advisor or call us at 800.626.0126 for further questions.

vessel and/or to other means of transportation whether belonging to Carrier or not, and/or causing Passenger to disembark temporarily. In a cancellation prior to sailing,
Carrier’s only liability will be to refund to Passenger the amount Carrier received pursuant to this Contract. If the cruise is shortened or terminated, Carrier will have the
option to make a proportionate refund of the fare or transfer Passenger to another ship or to the port of disembarkation by other means. If the scheduled length of the
cruise increases, Passenger will have no responsibility for the cost of any additional fare, and Carrier will have no responsibility to pay or compensate Passenger for any loss
or damage, including consequential damages.
13.PASSENGER’S WARRANTIES; CARRIER’S RIGHTS TO REFUSE PASSAGE, DISEMBARK OR CONFINE PASSENGER: Passenger represents and warrants that Passenger: (a) is
physically, emotionally and in all other respects fit to travel; (b) is free from any ailment that creates material risk to Passenger or others from participation in the voyage; (c)
will at all times comply with all rules and regulations of the Vessel and all orders and directions of the Vessel’s officers and staff; and (d) will not act or behave in any way
that inconveniences or impairs the safety, enjoyment or wellbeing of other persons or the safety of the Vessel. Carrier or the Captain shall have the right, without liability for
refund, payment, compensation or credit of any kind, to refuse boarding, refuse to transport Passenger, refuse further transport of Passenger, land Passenger at any port or
place, confine, quarantine or restrain Passenger, or transfer Passenger to other transportation, based on health or physical condition, mental disorder, violation of a Vessel
rule or regulation, failure to follow order or direction of Vessel officer or staff, failure to possess necessary passport, visa and health or vaccination certificate, disruptive
behavior, concern that Passenger may be excluded from landing at or entry to a destination by a government’s immigration or other authority, or other cause indicating
Passenger is unfit or raising doubt about Passenger’s fitness to travel on the Vessel, or for any other reason deemed necessary in the sole judgment of the Carrier or Captain
(but no such action will be taken for an unlawfully discriminatory reason). If Passenger is refused passage or voluntarily or involuntarily disembarked from the Vessel for a
reason described in this section, or other reason including, but not limited to, personal, medical, or business reason, Carrier will have no obligation to refund any portion of
the fare received by Carrier, or be responsible for any of Passenger’s costs or other losses.
14.IMPAIRMENT; DISABILITY: Carrier does not discriminate unlawfully on the basis of disability. If You (Passenger) have a disability and reasonable accommodation may
enable You to use our services, please let Carrier know how we can help. Passenger is requested to inform Carrier in writing, at or immediately after reserving passage, but
in any event at the earliest possible time, of any mobility impairment or other physical, emotional or mental condition which may require accommodation or use of an
assistive device during the cruise. If the impairment or condition first arises after booking, Passenger is requested to inform Carrier in writing at the earliest possible time.
Carrier will consider and may confer with Passenger, regarding possible accommodations. Carrier may: (a) require that a Passenger who, due to impairment, is not self-
sufficient, travel with a companion who shall take responsibility for any assistance needed during the voyage and in case of emergency; and (b) exclude an individual with a
disability that would result in a direct threat to the health and safety of others or to that individual, if Carrier determines there is a significant risk that cannot be eliminated
or reduced to an acceptable level by reasonable modifications to Carrier policies, practices and/or procedures or by appropriate assistive devices or services. If Passenger
fails to timely inform Carrier of any impairment or condition and/or it is determined, that Passenger’s continued participation poses a safety risk to Passenger or direct
health or safety threat to others, Passenger may be excluded from embarking or further participation. Carrier and personnel aboard the Vessel shall have no liability to
Passenger relating to any Passenger condition, treatment, failure to inform Carrier of an impairment or resulting exclusion.
15.CHILDREN: Any person under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult over age 21 who is the child’s parent or legal guardian, or who, prior to Vessel departure,
provides Carrier the Parental Consent Guardianship Form signed by the parent or legal guardian.
16.ALCOHOL: Carrier reserves the right not to serve any Passenger alcoholic beverages for any reason and as may be required to comply with local laws.
17.SMOKING: Smoking is only allowed in designated areas. If a Passenger smokes in non-designated areas, such act constitutes a material breach of this Contract. In the
event of such breach, Passenger forfeits all rights including the right to occupy the cabin and stay on board the ship. Carrier may also charge a reasonable cleaning fee to
eliminate smoking odors.
18.USE OF PASSENGER’S LIKENESS: Passenger agrees that Carrier and its designated partners shall have the right to include photographic, video, audio and visual portrayals
in any medium whatsoever for the purpose of advertising, promotion, publicity or otherwise without compensation to Passenger and all rights, title and interest including
worldwide copyrights shall be Carrier’s sole property free from any claims by Passenger or any person deriving any rights or interest from the Passenger.
19.INDEMNITY BY PASSENGER: Passenger shall indemnify, defend and hold Carrier harmless for all penalties, fines, charges, losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred
or imposed on Carrier or the Vessel due to any act or violation of law by Passenger.
20.CONSENT TO SEARCH AND SEIZURE: Passenger consents to any search of Passenger’s person, Baggage or other property, within the Passenger’s cabin, personal safe or
any location, with or without notice, and to the removal, confiscation and destruction of any contraband or other item(s) which are prohibited by Section 5, or, in the
opinion of Carrier or the Captain, may impair Vessel safety or adversely affect the safety, comfort, enjoyment or wellbeing of other Passengers.
21.PAYMENT BY PASSENGER AND EXTRA EXPENSES: Any and all payments by Passenger to Carrier shall be made in United States dollars. All charges for services and
products provided on board the Vessel must be paid in cash or charged to a credit or debit card acceptable to Carrier before Passenger’s final disembarkation from the
Vessel. Any other expenses incurred by Passenger or by Carrier on behalf of Passenger shall be payable by Passenger on demand.
22.CANCELLATION CHARGES: (Not Applicable for Part Charters or Full Charters) In the unfortunate event a participant must cancel travel, notice to us must be via email,
which must include a return receipt and a read notation, or other writing stating clearly and correctly each Passenger name, ship name, start and end date of the cruise and
a brief statement of the reason for cancellation. If already issued, unused air tickets must be physically returned to us before they can be cancelled. Cancellation date is the
date we receive the written cancellation notice of unused tickets. A change in sailing date, name changes, the substitution of a participant or a reduction in the number of
guests in a stateroom are treated as a cancellation in that all applicable cancellation charges apply. Cancellation charges are per- person, based upon cancellation date, as
follows: (i) more than 121 days before departure: $200 loss of deposit (Seven River Journey Through Europe bookings are $2,400, Egypt bookings are $600 and Africa
bookings are $1,200 loss of deposit); (ii) 120-90 days before departure: $400 loss of deposit (Seven River Journey Through Europe bookings are $4,800, Egypt bookings are
$1,200 and Africa booking are $2,400 loss of deposit); (iii) 89-60 days before departure: 35% of cruise or cruise and land price; (iv) 59-30 days before departure: 50% of
cruise or cruise and land price; (v) 29-7 days before departure: 80% of cruise or cruise and land price; (vi) 6 days or less before departure: 100% of cruise or cruise and land
price. Cancellation charges also apply to additional charges for upgrades, transfers and other pre-purchased services. Protection plan premiums are non-refundable.
Additional cancellation fees apply for air tickets. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11, after travel begins, there is no refund for unused services or unused portions of
cruise or cruise/tour. You acknowledge that your cancellation will cause Carrier difficulty in selling a replacement cruise or cruise & land reservation and thus the
cancellation fees described apply regardless of whether your cruise or cruise & land reservation is resold. You agree that any losses sustained by the Carrier in the event of
cancellation would be very difficult or impossible to quantify, and the cancellation fees are fair and reasonable as liquidated damages.
23.UNCLAIMED PROPERTY: Any unclaimed or abandoned personal property that comes into custody or control by Carrier may be disposed of after 45 days under any
circumstances. If a Passenger’s identification is available Carrier will make a reasonable effort to contact the traveler and attempt to return the item(s) within 45 days. The
Passenger will be responsible for any and all fees for storage, shipping and handling to return the item(s).
24.TRAVEL ADVISOR: Your travel advisor acts for You in making the arrangements for Your travel. Carrier is not responsible for any representation or conduct of Your travel
advisor, including but not limited to, any failure to remit Your deposit or other funds to Carrier, for which You shall at all times remain liable to Carrier, or any failure to remit
a refund from Carrier to You. You acknowledge that Your travel advisor acts solely as Your agent, and not as agent for Carrier, and is deemed as Your agent. You further
agree that receipt by Your travel advisor of this Contract or any other communications, notices or information from Carrier shall constitute receipt of such materials by You.
25.NO SOLICITATION: Passenger agrees not to solicit other Passengers for commercial purposes or advertise goods or services on board the Vessel without Carrier’s prior
written permission.
26.INTERPRETATION: If any provision of this Contract is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be
severed from this Contract and of no force and effect and all remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be
deemed to be replaced by a lawful provision or reduced to a lawful scope, in either case, that is as close to the purpose and economic content of the invalid or
unenforceable provision as is lawful. Headings in this Contract are only for convenient reference and shall not be used to interpret, construe, define or limit any provisions
hereof. Whenever the context requires, references to the male gender shall include the female and neuter, and references to the singular shall include the plural, and vice-
versa. Passenger acknowledges that the travel contemplated by this Contract is voluntary; Passenger is not obligated to purchase services from Carrier, and thus is not
obligated or in any way forced to enter into this Contract. The provisions of this Contract were developed to achieve a delicate balance and exchange of rights, remedies,
limitations, exclusions, risks and risk management and economics between Passenger and Carrier; and the balance provides substantial benefits to Passenger, which Carrier
could not offer at the attractive price(s) offered, but for the delicate balance in this Contract. Accordingly, the provisions of this Contract shall be interpreted and construed
according to their fair meanings and not strictly for or against any party.
27.WARRANTIES/CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EXCLUDED: ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR USE AND MERCHANTABILITY ARE EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDED FROM THIS CONTRACT. CARRIER SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THERE IS NO
WARRANTY THAT EXTENDS BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FACE HEREOF. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARRIER SHALL BE EXCLUDED FROM LIABILITY FOR
EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
28.ENTIRE AGREEMENT: THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PASSENGER TICKET CONTRACT ARE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN PASSENGER AND
CARRIER. PASSENGER’S ACCEPTANCE OR USE OF THIS CONTRACT CONSTITUTES PASSENGER’S CONSENT TO THESE PROVISIONS. THESE PROVISIONS SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR
ORAL, IMPLIED, OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND CARRIER. ANY CLAIMED CHANGE IN THESE PROVISIONS IS NOT EFFECTIVE UNLESS
IT IS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OF CARRIER (AND SUCH SIGNATURE MAY BE CONDITIONED ON A COMMENSURATE INCREASE IN FARE).
