Guests requiring special assistance because of physical disabilities must be accompanied by a non-disabled adult who will be able to assist them during the cruise, transfers, and in the event of an emergency. Guests requiring a wheelchair must provide their own collapsible wheelchair. Silversea reserves the right to refuse passage to anyone who, in the opinion of the cruise line, is in such physical or mental condition as to be incapable of an ocean voyage or who may require care beyond that which Silversea can provide. top

Silversea's liability is limited to the terms and conditions of the Passage Contract, which is included with your final travel documents. A copy of Silversea's Passage Contract is also available upon request. Please note that acceptance of the Passage Contract represents acceptance of the conditions herein. Any and all information contained herein is in effect at the time of printing and is subject to change at any time. Silversea reserves the right to alter the ship's advertised route, to delay any sailing, substitute another vessel for the scheduled ship, or substitute or cancel scheduled ports of call as necessary. Additionally, Silversea reserves the right to cancel reservations and bookings, whether or not a deposit has been received. In such event, Silversea's only liability will be to refund to the guest the amount it has received. Silversea makes arrangements for transportation, other than ocean passage, only as a booking agent. Silversea's responsibility does not extend beyond the vessel. In arranging for the transportation of guests to and from the ship, Silversea does so with independent contractors. Silversea is not responsible for incidents such as airline cancellations, re-routings or any disruption of scheduled services or accommodations. top

Unless otherwise indicated, overnight accommodations at a deluxe hotel with breakfast prior to your cruise are included in your air/sea fare. The complimentary hotel night, breakfast and transfers are not included for cruise-only guests taking the travel allowance. If necessary, an extra pre-cruise hotel overnight or a post-cruise hotel overnight may be required and included for air/sea guests depending on air schedules. Silversea reserves the right to substitute hotel selection and provides transfers and porterage as applicable. top

You may bring aboard the ship a reasonable amount of clothing and personal effects without charge. Luggage for Silversea guests, or guests on safari or other land packages, must be handled in accordance with regulations and tariffs of airlines and/or ground operators. Luggage exceeding these limitations is subject to the charges as set forth by individual operators. All luggage must be securely packed and properly and clearly labeled. Liquid, fragile, perishable and other articles not suitably packed are transported at your own risk. We recommend that you hand carry travel documents (passport, visa, cruise tickets), medications and valuables. These items are the full responsibility of the guest at all times. Silversea shall not be responsible for the loss of or damage to such personal items. Luggage or personal belongings will be taken off the ship upon guest disembarkation. Under no circumstances will luggage be stored on board without the owner of such luggage being on the vessel. top

Silversea's ability to offer air service from gateway cities is limited to airline scheduling and availability of negotiated airfares. Airfares negotiated by Silversea limit your ability to exchange, endorse or make changes to air tickets. Seat assignments, special meals and frequent flyer miles are the sole responsibility of the guest. Some airlines restrict the accumulation or use of frequent flyer miles in conjunction with fares used by cruise lines. Any service charges imposed by the airline and loss of issued tickets will be your sole responsibility. Silversea will select and confirm air carriers and routings on the most direct flights available at our contract rates at the time of ticketing and reserves the right to substitute charter flights for scheduled service or vice versa; Silversea also reserves the right to select the carrier, the routing and layover city if necessary. We suggest that you reconfirm your flights prior to departure. Airline tickets are refundable to Silversea only. Silversea is unable to make changes to air flights once travel has begun. Should you choose to make your own air, transfer and hotel arrangements, you may deduct the Cruise-Only Travel Allowance amount from the air/sea fare listed. Air and hotel confirmations for air/sea cruise bookings made within 14 days of departure will not be confirmed until full payment is received. All flight deviations and special requests are subject to availability and confirmation. Guests requesting an air deviation on their return flight date will forfeit all post-cruise hotel and transfers. Guests deviating from their pre-cruise flight may forfeit transfers from the airport to their pre-cruise hotel. Silversea's promotional Business Class Air Upgrades featured with select itineraries in this brochure are per person, roundtrip (unless noted otherwise) from Silversea's gateway cities on international flights only; upgrades apply to full cruises only (unless noted otherwise) and are subject to availability. Domestic U.S., Inter-Asia and European flights may be in economy class. Promotional upgrades are available for the first and second air/sea guest in a suite only on selected sailings. Complimentary First Class Upgrades from designated air/sea gateway cities for air/sea guests booking Silversea's World Cruise and complimentary Business Class Upgrades for air/sea guests booking combination voyages of 50 consecutive days or more are subject to availability and space is limited. In some cases, economy class may be required for Domestic U.S., Inter-Asia and European flights. All other Silversea Air Program restrictions apply. top

All travel documents (air and cruise tickets, passport, medical card, inoculation verification) are your responsibility and must be in the name that appears on your passport. It is also your responsibility to obtain any necessary visas and public health documents for all applicable ports and to comply with all customs requirements. Without the required documents, you may be denied boarding or disembarkation in certain ports for which visas have not been obtained, and Silversea will not be liable for such denial or bear any financial responsibility. Security measures imposed by governments may change from time to time and you will be required to comply with them. We will endeavor to provide you with notice of measures which may affect you, but complying with any such requirements is your responsibility. [Luxury Cruises will assist you in securing information, provided such requests are by e-mail. All responses to written requests will be made in writing, since oral representations are not made by agents with respect to visa requirements.]  All schedules, prices, and terms of conditions listed in Silversea's written brochure and Passage Contract are the effective terms. Terms may be changed from time to time, and new terms supersede any schedules, prices, and terms and conditions previously published, provided that the new terms precede issuance of your Passage Contract, are terms that Silversea reserved the right to change in the terms that you accepted upon deposit or final payment, or are changed by operation of law or applicable rules or regulations pertaining to your cruise and its accompanying arrangements. top
