TRAVEL TIPS

Welcome to our travel tips page.
Here you’ll find loads of useful info to help get you prepared before setting off your trip.

Start with your holiday package by choosing a guided tour package. It’s the best way to travel with family because all the details are pre-planned for you. This is especially important if you are not keen on researching destinations yourself.

For those who do pre-plan, take some time to create a complete itinerary following some research on the destination you are visiting. Pay special attention to special festivals, weather, and political climate when you are working on the itinerary. This provides space for back up plans in case of unforeseen travel problems.

The itinerary also ensures that everything is planned based on what you/ your family wants to see and experience. Just make sure all the activities are something worth trying and gives you and your fellow travellers a new dimension of the places visited.

If you are travelling on a budget then you should plan with flight, ground arrangements, passport, visa, meals, transport, shopping and contingency cash for emergency.

What sort of protection/coverage does a travel insurance covers you? Some of the coverage that you should expect is as below:

  • Personal Accident
  • Medical Expenses
  • Loss of Luggage & Personal Effect
  • Loss of Travel Documents
  • Baggage Delay
  • Travel Delay
  • Missed Departure
  • Flight Overbooked
  • Hijack Inconvenience
  • Travel Cancellation
  • Loss of Money/ Valuables

….and other types of coverage as well.

Here are other examples that might NOT be covered in travel insurance:

  • Declared or undeclared war or any act of war, invasion, act of foreign enemy, and other war terms
  • Loss or destruction of goods due to radiation
  • Suicide/Self harm/ or any intentional acts by the insured person that provoked homicide or assault personnel or military personnel of any country or international authority, whether full-time service or as a volunteer
  • The Insured Person engaging in, practising for or taking part in training in any speed contest, any professional competition or sports, and participating in Hazardous adventure

Safety

 and responsibility and we adhere to the strictest safety regulations on all of our vessels. All of our cruise ships are fully-equipped according to the latest safety regulations, and our crew is fully-trained and certified for emergency situations.

When you first board your ship, you will notice several signs pertaining to emergencies as well as emergency lights along the corridors, which assist guests in reaching master stations and emergency exits. Our vessels are also equipped with evolved smoke detection and fire suppression systems, ample lifeboats, life jackets in every stateroom and in some of the ship’s public spaces, as well as other equipment we use to ensure your cruise is safe and smooth. We also provide you with a special booklet, “Travelling with Safety,” which we urge you to read so that you can familiarize yourself with our safety regulations and instructions.

 

You Should Also Know

If you are traveling with infants or children under 32kg (70.5lbs), ask your steward for a special life jacket; make sure each life jacket in your stateroom (for adults and children over 32kg) are equipped with a light and a whistle.

For safety and security requirements, visitors are not allowed on board.

For sanitation reasons, pets cannot travel on board our ships.

Smoking is prohibited in all of the ship’s interior spaces, including your stateroom; you may smoke on the open deck wherever there are no signs prohibiting smoking and where ashtrays are available (do not throw cigarettes over the side of the ship).

The use of electrical irons or candles in your stateroom is strongly prohibited.

Littering on board or in the sea is unacceptable – you will find garbage bins throughout the ship, both inside and on the decks.

Children under the age of 14 must be supervised closely at all times: they must not touch any of the ship’s security devices, nor are they permitted to play unsupervised on the ship’s deck areas (deck, stairs and around the pool) or to use the elevators without a parent or guardian.

For your safety and comfort on board we suggest sports or flat deck shoes with low heels. This type of footwear will make it easier for you to walk on the outside decks and stairwells.

Please help us to protect the environment and conserve energy by switching off the lights and unplugging all electrical appliances before leaving your stateroom. Towels to be replaced may be dropped on the bathroom floor. Towels and sheets will be replaced whenever needed.
