The first time on a cruise: what to take with you on a sailing trip?

allowed in public places, including restaurants, theaters, elevators and other similar premises. Please note that smoking on the open decks is strictly prohibited during the mandatory drills, as well as during transfers to tenders or while refueling the liner.

Shore excursions
Choose from the many excursions that will be offered to you on board, or create your own sightseeing plan. Tourists can purchase excursions at all ports of call without exception, as well as at the tour desk on board the ship. It is best to book excursions on the first day of the cruise, or even before the cruise starts, in order to be sure that you will definitely get on the desired excursion. However, we should not forget that any excursion can always be canceled or changed for some important reasons.
In all ports, the tourist must be on board the ship no later than one hour before the departure of the cruise liner. Please remember that onboard time may vary depending on port time. Be sure to keep an eye on the change in time throughout the trip! If you are still late for the liner, remember that only you are now responsible for all future costs.

A drill
On the first day of the cruise, a drill is mandatory, during which tourists will be told how to behave in an emergency on board.

Visitors on board
For security It is prohibited to take visitors on board the ship.

Safe
Each cabin is equipped with a safe. Please be aware that any cruise line is not responsible for the loss or damage of valuables left in the cabin or on board the cruise ship.

Peculiarities:
Pregnancy
For security на борт круизного лайнера не допускаются женщины со сроком беременности больше 24 недель на момент окончания круиза. Therefore, it is strictly necessary for pregnant women to carry a medical document indicating the current gestational age.

Passenger under 21
Due to limited medical conditions on board, infants under 6 months of age or younger are not accepted on the cruise. For tourists over two years old, baby cots are provided on board.
Tourists under the age of 21 are required to travel with a parent, guardian or companion who is also at least 21 years old. If the accompanying person is not the official representative or parent of the tourist, in this case it is necessary to provide permission for the child to leave the country, certified by a notary. Children traveling with one parent must have a document confirming the consent of the second parent for the child to leave the country. The absence of this document may lead to a refusal to board the liner without paying compensation to the tourist.
Tourists under the age of 18 are also not allowed in the Casino. When visiting the fitness club, tourists under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Passengers with disabilities
All cruise ships have special cabins for the disabled. These cabins feature widened doorways, larger bathrooms, bright lights and a vibrating alarm under the pillow for visually and auditory disabled travelers.
It is imperative that passengers notify the cruise line of any individual medical or physical needs well in advance, preferably at the time of booking the cruise, as certain conditions require the cruise line to obtain written approval. Due to unpredictable circumstances at sea, if a traveler with a disability does not meet accepted criteria for safety or some other criteria, even taking into account assistance, the cruise line may find it necessary to ask travelers to book alternative services.
Tourists who are unable to satisfy their basic needs (dressing, eating, moving around, etc.) on their own should travel with a companion.
