The operations agency reserves the right to change the flight route if deemed necessary. For example, for a ship departing from Marseille, a flight route announced as Nice/Lyon may be changed to Marseille or vice versa.
The documents required for visa applications are provided within 96 hours. You must request your visa confirmation letters from your agency at least 4 days prior to your application.
SHIP & RESTAURANT ARRANGEMENTS
Guests are responsible for their own luggage at airports, ports, and during round-trip transfers between the airport and the port. No agency official, guide, or driver has the right to accept luggage for safekeeping, nor can they be held under any responsibility.
Two of the dinners you will have during the cruise are formal dinners; for these, every male passenger wishing to dine is required to have at least one suit, and female passengers at least 1 evening dress.

During the cruise, the restaurants and tables where our group will have dinner will usually be pre-assigned and numbered according to names, depending on the cruise company, while some cruise companies operate on an open seating basis. On ships with pre-assigned tables, everyone will sit at their assigned tables from the first evening's dinner until the last evening's dinner, and guests who wish may also have their meals at other restaurants on the ship, subject to arrangement by the authorized ship personnel.
PAYMENT & DEPOSIT ON BOARD
During check-in on board, without exception, every passenger (only 1 person in the case of couples) is required to present a credit card or deposit cash at the ship's reception while obtaining cabin keys. As a result of this presentation, an average authorization of 300 euros will be charged to each credit card. The reason for this is the expenses you will incur inside the ship after check-in during the voyage. You will be able to make your on-board expenses using the magnetic cards given to you by the ship's reception. Cash is not accepted anywhere on board except for the casino. You can view all your expenses from the televisions in your rooms.

You must attach these tags to your luggage at the cruise port. Your luggage may not arrive in your cabins until late in the evening on the first departure day of the ship. This is a situation caused by density and crowds and is the responsibility of the ship.

The departure times of the ship must be strictly adhered to. Entry to the ship must be made at least 60 minutes before the departure time of our ship at the ports. Otherwise, you may not be able to board the ship. Our agency will not be responsible for such a situation.
