international tours d. Ship Access In Foreign Ports: To embark/disembark from all River ships in foreign ports, and on Ocean ships in various foreign ports, guests must be able to walk down/up steps and ramps without a walker or wheelchair, as gangways/ramps are typically not wide enough to accommodate these items. Not all ships have elevators, and some have split-level decks and/ or significant thresholds. Please note: Our personnel are not required to lift quests or to provide other extensive assistance or assistance to those with mobility issues where such assistance creates safety concerns. Passengers with any medical, physical or other special needs should review their proposed ship's layout on our website and consider their needs. There are inherent risks associated with traveling aboard ships that are unique to cruise tour travel. For people who are ill, or have a mental or physical disability or impairment, the risks can be more significant. Passengers acknowledge that access to some areas of the ship and ports of call may be limited or impossible, that assistance may be limited or impossible in case of an emergency or rough seas, and that there may be a lack of immediate access to medical services in certain parts of the world. e. Service Animals. If you plan to bring a Service Animal on board, we request that you notify us at the time of booking and complete the Service Animal Request Form at least 60 days prior to the commencement of your cruise. This form should be completed and submitted to VRC at [email protected]. Service Animal is defined according to Americans With Disability Act (“ADA”) regulations relevant to cruise vessels and means any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability; emotional support animals are not Service Animals under relevant regulations. Service Animals are permitted in all public areas of the ship except for the galley, and other food preparation areas due to health regulations. Service Animals are not permitted to swim in the pools, whirlpools and spas, due to health regulations. Care and supervision are the responsibility of the owner. Service Animals must be leashed or harnessed in public areas. The passenger must provide food for any Service Animal. If refrigerated space is needed, please advise the ship’s Special Request Department. If you decide to disembark in a port, the Service Animal must remain on board in the event the Service Animal does not meet the country’s requirements to go ashore. Neither VRC nor Carrier has any control over ports that may prohibit Service Animals from going ashore. Itis the guest's responsibility to research the ports on the cruise itinerary and confirm if the Service Animal meets those countries’ entry requirements. If the Service Animal causes any damage on board, the passenger (owner of the Service Animal) will be held financially responsible. If the Service Animal's behaviour creates a fundamental or direct threat to safety, the Service Animal and passenger may be denied boarding or may be removed from the ship at the passenger's expense. You are also responsible for ensuring the Service Animal has all necessary vaccinations, as well for providing that documentation to customs or port officials if requested to do so. f. Use of Oxygen. If you plan to bring oxygen on board, we request that you notify us at the time of booking and complete the Oxygen Concentrator Information Form at least 60 days prior to the commencement of your cruise, Approval to embark and use oxygen concentrators is at the discretion of the medical professionals, and the decision is final and binding. The Form should be completed and submitted to VRC at [email protected]. . Expedition Cruises.
