Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who are up to 23 weeks pregnant at the end of the cruise are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel.

MinorAccompany policy

Infants on board Infants under one year* are admitted on board, except for cruises of 11 nights or longer, when they must be at least one year. This policy is due to long cruises often having multiple days at sea, which can impede our ability to provide urgent medical care for infants.

Smoking is prohibited inside the staterooms or balconies. Smoking is allowed only in designated areas such as cigar room or left side of the pool deck.
