OTHER INFORMATION

Silversea’s purpose-built Silver Explorer expedition ship (formerly the Prince Albert II) has been designed specifically for navigating waters in some of the world’s most remote destinations, including both of earth’s polar regions. A strengthened hull with a Lloyd’s Register ice-class notation (1A) for passenger vessels enables Silver Explorer to safely push through ice floes with ease. A fleet of Zodiac boats allows Silversea Expedition guests to visit even the most off-the-beaten path locations and an expert Expedition Team provides insight and understanding to each unforgettable Silver Explorer cruise adventure.

ABOUT Silversea Cruises

World’s Best Luxury Cruise Line

In a global world of continually merging, multi-national conglomerates, Silversea Cruises is owned and operated by one family — the Lefebvres of Rome. That means genuine pride in ownership and a true Italian passion for embracing the best of life. And that also means a deep commitment to maintaining the high standards of cruise excellence that have been the cornerstone of Silversea from the very beginning.

Silversea is recognised as the defining luxury cruise experience. In the early 1990s, the Lefebvre family conceived and organised this unique, luxury cruise line, pledging to build and operate the highest quality ships in the ultra-luxury segment and to offer a product unlike any other. Silversea launched its first ship in 1994, thus creating a new niche for the ultra-luxury travel market with a class of smaller, purpose-built vessels that could slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path.

These elite and intimate ships are specifically designed for fewer guests, featuring more space and the highest levels of personalised service. Accommodations are amongst the largest at sea; all have ocean views and butler service and most feature private verandas.

Dining is an exquisite affair with open-seating options so guests dine when, where and with whom they desire. But what is also unique is that although the ships are intimate, they incorporate amenities usually found only on larger ships, such as an elaborate show lounge featuring nightly entertainment, casino, and state-of-the-art spa and fitness facilities. As an innovator in the ultra-luxury cruise segment with all-inclusive pricing and an unmatched onboard lifestyle, Silversea is the preferred luxury cruise line among modern affluent travellers from across the globe – providing for a convivial cosmopolitan ambience and yet another unique Silversea distinction.

Following the launch of Silver Cloud in 1994, Silver Wind in 1995, Silver Shadow in 2000 and Silver Whisper in 2001, Silversea introduced Silversea Expeditions aboard the Prince Albert II in 2008, offering the uncommon experience of authentic adventure combined with signature Silversea luxury. In late 2009, Silver Spirit debuted as Silversea’s beautiful new flagship. Together, these magnificent Silversea cruise ships offer an expansive schedule of worldwide voyages that encompass all seven continents.

Silversea caters to the cosmopolitan world traveller and maintains branch offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore. The company’s headquarters are based in Monaco.

Minors & Childcare
Silversea cruise guidelines state that minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied, in the same or connecting suite, by a parent or other responsible adult over the age of 21. If the adult accompanying the minor is not their parent, a parental consent guardianship form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian and received by Silversea prior to sailing. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol. Silversea reserves the right to refuse to serve anyone who in its sole judgment may be under the influence of alcohol, or for any reason necessary in its judgement to preserve the health and safety of guests and employees.

Silver Explorer cannot accommodate infants under the age of 1 year. Silversea Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper and Silver Spirit cannot accommodate infants under the age of 6 months. Guests must notify Silversea of any children between the ages of 6 months and 1 year who will be sailing on board the ship. A signed and notarised waiver will be required for all children between these ages. Although Silversea accepts guests over the age of 6 months (over the age of 1 year for Silversea Expeditions), there are no special programmes for children on board, and Silversea does not provide for the care, entertainment or supervision of children. Silversea reserves the right to limit the number of children less than 3 years of age.

In addition, the Zodiacs used for Silversea Expeditions are unable to accommodate children younger than 6 years of age. As Silversea does not provide babysitting services, an adult family member will be required to remain on board Silver Explorer with their child(ren) during Zodiac excursions.

Travel Documents
All travel documents (air and cruise tickets, passport, medical card, inoculation verification) are the guest’s responsibility. It is also the guest’s 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, a guest may be denied boarding and accommodation by Silversea, or the guest may be disembarked during the voyage and Silversea will not make a refund or be otherwise liable to any guest for such denial of boarding or disembarkation. In the event that Silversea, as a courtesy, provides information or advice as to necessary travel documents, visas and medical inoculations, guests are still obligated to verify such information with the appropriate government authorities and Silversea does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of such information. Some countries require passports to be valid six months beyond intended stay. Please check with the appropriate consulate for specific requirements.

For cruises that include Canadian ports, please contact your local Canadian Consulate for Canadian travel requirements.

Security measures imposed by governments may change from time to time and each guest will be required to comply with them. As a courtesy, Silversea will endeavour to provide each guest with notice of measures that may affect them, but complying with any such requirements is the sole responsibility of each guest. Please consult your travel professional for advice on such requirements to avoid loss of boarding privileges.

Luggage
You may bring aboard the ship a reasonable amount of clothing and personal effects without charge. Luggage for Silversea guests or guests on Land Adventures 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 the individual operators. Airlines are strict with luggage limitations. Guests are encouraged to contact individual airlines for weight limitations. Guests are, at all times, responsible for airline baggage fees. For travel to/from and within the United States, please visit https://bags.amadeus.com/ or the individual air carriers' website for a complete listing of baggage fees.

Guests are also encouraged to pack a smaller bag for all Land Adventures to avoid extra luggage charges. All luggage must be securely packed, and properly and clearly labelled. Liquid, fragile, perishable and other articles not suitably packed are transported at your own risk. Silversea is not responsible for loss or damage to luggage or any other personal item during air travel, Hotel Programmes, Land Adventures or shore excursions.

Luggage and personal belongings will be taken off the ship upon guest disembarkation. Under no circumstances will luggage be stored onboard without the owner of such luggage being on the vessel. Silversea is not responsible for luggage stored in shoreside facilities.

Under no circumstances may dangerous items (including but not limited to: explosives, firearms, combustible or illegal substances) be taken aboard the ship. Silversea recommends 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.

Lost Property
Silversea may levy a charge for the return of personal items left on board or lost and subsequently found.

Health & Medical Requirements
All guests are required to report in writing to Silversea at the time their reservation is made:

1. Any physical or mental condition that may require medical or professional treatment or attention during the voyage
2. Any condition that may render the guest unfit for travel, or that may require special care or assistance
3. Any condition that may pose a risk or danger to the guest or anyone else onboard the ship
4. Any condition that may require oxygen for medical reasons
5. Any intention or need to use a wheelchair aboard ship.

By booking passage and by boarding the ship, the guest represents and warrants that he/she is physically and otherwise fit to travel, and that the guest will comply at all times with applicable rules and regulations of the ship and orders and instructions of the ship’s officers and medical staff. Silversea reserves the right without liability to require a guest to disembark and/or to refuse to board and transport a guest who, in the judgment of Silversea or the ship’s Master or Medical Officer, is unfit to travel or may require care beyond that which Silversea is reasonably able to provide. Silversea strongly recommends wheelchair guests travel with someone who is able to assist them both ashore and at sea as Silversea may be unable to offer special assistance. Please note that wheel-on and/or wheel-off access may not be available at some ports-of-call. Wheelchair guests must bring their own collapsible wheelchair.

Pregnancy
At the time of booking, expectant mothers are required to supply a medical certificate establishing their fitness for travel at the time they are due to travel. Silversea is unable to accommodate women who have entered their twenty-fourth week of pregnancy and will not be responsible or liable for any complication relative to any pregnancy during the entire duration of the cruise.

Rest Assured Programme

True peace of mind. If, for any reason, you have to cancel within 120 to 1 days prior to departure, Silversea’s Rest Assured Programme™ provides a 100% Cruise Credit on any and all charges paid including air, pre- and/or post-cruise hotel and land programmes (less any penalties incurred by Silversea such as airline, hotel or tour operator cancellation fees), which may be applied toward a future Silversea cruise. Additional restrictions may apply.

North and South American Guests
If you cancel your cruise for any reason, instead of losing 100% of the total charges paid for your vacation, you will receive a 100% Rest Assured Cruise Credit (the “Cruise Credit”).

The fee for Rest Assured is 4% of each guest's Total Holiday Cost when purchased with travel insurance that includes trip cancellation benefits. Proof of travel insurance coverage must be provided at the time of your Rest Assured purchase. If you purchase Rest Assured without travel insurance, the fee is 9% of each guest's Total Holiday Cost. The Total Holiday Cost includes the cruise fare and any Silversea optional travel programme(s) (including air, pre- and/or post-cruise hotel and land programmes and transfers).

Silversea’s Optional Rest Assured Programme (the “Rest Assured Programme”) is subject to the following terms and conditions.

* Silversea’s standard cancellation policy terms remain in effect for any bookings cancelled 121 days or more prior to departure.
* The Rest Assured Programme is not insurance and is separate from Silversea GuestCare.

* The Cruise Credit cannot be used in conjunction with non-combinable offers.
* Previously issued Silversea cruise credits or shipboard credits will not be included in the Cruise Credit but will be returned to guests for their future use and will be subject to the credit’s original terms and conditions. If the original credit’s expiration date is earlier than that of the Cruise Credit, a new cruise credit or shipboard credit will be issued to correspond with the expiration date of the Cruise Credit.
* The Rest Assured Programme is subject to change or withdrawal at any time without notice.
* The Rest Assured Programme is not available to guests booking a Silversea voyage using a Cruise Credit, unless the total value of the voyage exceeds the Cruise Credit in which case the Rest Assured Programme will only be offered on the portion of the total charges which exceeds the Cruise Credit.
* If cancellation is made on travel booked using a Cruise Credit, the value of the Cruise Credit will be subject to Silversea's standard cancellation policy terms. Any residual Cruise Credit balance may be applied to a future voyage that embarks during the original twelve month period. Under no circumstances will any outstanding Cruise Credit be available for use after the original twelve month period has ended.

Please note: The Rest Assured Programme is separate from Silversea GuestCare which is designed and administered by BerkelyCareSM.

Still, there’s always the unforeseen before you sail. That is why we are delighted to offer you Silversea’s Rest Assured Programme to make it even easier to relax and do nothing but look forward to a wonderful vacation — even during that critical 120-day period before embarkation!

If, for any reason, you have to cancel within 120 to 1 day prior to departure, Rest Assured provides a 100% Cruise Credit on any and all charges paid (including air, pre- and/or post-cruise hotel and land programmes), which may be applied toward a future Silversea cruise.

It’s affordable, too — just 9% of your total holiday cost. Then if you need to cancel at the last minute (1 - 120 days prior to departure but at least 24 hours prior to departure), you’ll receive 100% credit for your total holiday cost including air, pre- and/or post-cruise hotel and land programmes, if applicable. (Minus, of course, the fee for Rest Assured.)

You can apply your credit toward any Silversea cruise departing during the following 12 months. But you can only use your credit for the cruise-only portion of your voyage. It cannot be applied towards port charges, government fees and taxes, or the purchase of air upgrades, land programmes, transfers and Silversea GuestCare.

For additional information, please contact your Travel Profession or Silversea directly.
