GRATUITIES All shipboard gratuities for onboard room stewards and dining staff are included in your cruise fare. Gratuities for concessions such as the spa and beauty shop are not included and may be optionally added at the guest s discretion. GUEST TRAVEL PROTECTION PROGRAM We want to ensure that your PGC vacation is exceptional. That s why we make the Guest

5 Travel Protection Program available to our U.S. guests. It is a way to protect your vacation investment should you need to cancel your trip and to protect yourself against unexpected occurrences and expenses while travelling. Details on terms and conditions are presented at or by calling the plan administrator, Trip Mate at (800) When calling, please reference plan #A426P. HEALTH AND MEDICAL MATTERS Each guest represents and warrants that he or she is physically and otherwise fit to travel on the voyage. PGC will not accept reservations for guests who will be past the sixth month of pregnancy by the end of their cruise. Any physical, emotional or mental condition that may require professional attention during the cruise must be reported to PGC at the time of booking. Guests requiring the use of wheelchairs must notify PGC at the time of booking and should be aware that the marina area on the ship is not accessible via elevator and that most ports on the cruise require tenders to go ashore and may preclude a wheelchair guest from leaving the vessel. Decisions made by the ship s captain in such circumstances will be binding. PGC strongly recommends that wheelchair guests travel with someone who is able to assist them. Wheelchairs provided on board are for emergency purposes only. Guests requiring a wheelchair are required to provide their own on board. Shipboard medical services and facilities, including doctor and medications, are available to guests at a reasonable charge. CHANGES IN ITINERARIES Guests acknowledge that the scheduled itinerary is subject to delay, modification, or portof-call cancellation due to weather and other causes beyond the control of the ship captain, the ship manager or PGC. If necessary or appropriate, as determined in the discretion of the captain, the ship manager or PGC, the ports of call and itineraries may be changed. Further, reservations are subject to change in the event of a full ship charter. In the event of a charter of the vessel or stoppage of labor for whatever cause or for any other reason beyond the control of the ship manager or PGC, either the captain, the ship manager or PGC may cancel or postpone any scheduled sailing and will not be liable for any loss to guests by reason of such cancellation or postponement. MEDICAL FACILITIES The Medical Center is designed to provide medical care for certain temporary illnesses and accidents. These facilities are not intended or capable of providing ongoing treatment of pre-existing medical conditions. Any such special requirement or need for health services aboard ship must be cleared in writing with PGC before booking(s) will be accepted. The ship s doctor is on 24-hour call for professional and emergency services, which are available at customary charges. For guests requiring oxygen equipment, an

6 oxygen concentrator is the only form of oxygen equipment allowed aboard ship and must be provided by the guest. Wheelchairs provided onboard are for emergency purposes only. NON-SMOKING POLICIES While smokers are given a warm welcome, we recognize the need to restrict where smoking is permitted so as not to cause discomfort to, or provide a health or safety hazard for, the majority of our guests who do not smoke. Although smoking is prohibited in all suites, staterooms, indoor public areas and private balconies, there are multiple outdoor areas on each vessel where smoking is permitted. PETS Pets and other animals are not allowed onboard the ship. NAME CHANGES Name substitutions are not allowed at any time. After final documentation has been issued, corrections to cruise tickets and/or hotel reservations may be made for a $100 perperson fee. Changes on airline tickets are subject to airline approval. In some instances, name corrections may result in the loss of original air reservations and a minimum $150 change fee per person. Alternate air carriers may then be substituted at PGC s discretion. Non-refundable airline tickets issued will not allow name changes at any time. MUSTER POLICY Current legal requirements for conducting a muster of passengers are found in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and mandate that a muster for embarking passengers occur within 24 hours of their embarkation. Notwithstanding the legal requirement, Paul Gauguin Cruises has identified a best practice that calls for conducting the mandatory muster for embarking passengers prior to departure from port. This muster drill will take place at 5:30 pm on embarkation day. We ask that all guests who have arrived be on board for this drill. Guests arriving after the muster has been completed will be provided with individual or group safety briefings upon embarkation that meet the requirements for musters applicable under SOLAS. This practice exceeds existing legal requirements and has been adopted to ensure that any mandatory musters or briefings are conducted for the benefit of all newly embarked passengers at the earliest practical opportunity. OPTIONAL HOTEL STAYS AND LAND PROGRAMS PGC offers guests the option to purchase hotel stays or land programs. You may extend your stay in your port of embarkation or disembarkation or opt for an exclusive package in some of the most prestigious hotels in the world. The prices include room, tax, service charges, breakfast, local hospitality service and transfers as applicable. Please note these

7 rates do not include early check-in or late check-out, unless otherwise indicated. One night or additional nights accommodations may be purchased to ensure early check-in for guests arriving on early flights. Late check-out may be arranged and paid directly to the hotel on a space availability basis. PGC reserves the right to substitute hotels. Land programs are subject to cancellation if a minimum number of participants is not reached. In this case, guests will have the option of purchasing the program on a private basis for an additional cost. If the program is cancelled by PGC, guests who have booked their air through the PGC Air Program, and do not choose to accept the new offer, will have their flight changed to PGC air between their gateway city and the ship without incurring a change fee. For guests booking their own air in conjunction with a land program, refundable tickets are strongly recommended as PGC cannot be held responsible for any travel costs incurred if a land program, tour or private arrangement made through PGC is cancelled due to participation minimums not being met. Baggage allowance varies on flights in conjunction with optional land programs and overland shore excursions. Guests should verify weight limits, as excess baggage charges are the responsibility of each guest. The itinerary for land programs listed in the brochure is based on current flight itineraries and other service suppliers expected to be operating for this program at the time of publication. Changes to flight availability, itinerary and program are subject to change without previous notice. Change in programs itinerary or content, or cancellation by PGC of any of these programs does not constitute grounds for your cancellation of the voyage. Guests participating in the PGC Air Program and not deviating will receive airport transfers to/from the pier or hotel. For guests with independent flight arrangements, a private car transfer from the airport to the pier can be purchased in advance, and PGC reservations must be advised of flight information at least 30 days prior to departure. It is the guest s responsibility to keep PGC reservations updated with any changes in flight information. Failure to present correct information will result in loss of transfer and 100% penalty. We regret that motorcoach transfers cannot be booked pre-cruise for guests with independent flight arrangements. All post-cruise transfers can only be booked on board at the Travel Desk. Published programs cannot be deviated. Guests wishing to deviate may set up a similar private program through the Travel Concierge Desk. Weather conditions are unpredictable. While PGC and its appointed ground operators will do all they can to assist with alternative arrangements, we cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred if a land program, tour or private arrangement made through PGC is disrupted due to adverse weather conditions. The Guest Protection Program provides

8 coverage for excessive delays, if due to inclement weather, strikes or equipment failure of a common air carrier. To obtain this coverage, the premium must be paid if full at the time your final payment is made. Rates are quoted in U.S. dollars on the current rate of exchange and tariff as of the time of publication. PGC reserves the right to increase hotel and tour program prices to cover increased costs, tariffs and taxes and to reflect fluctuations in foreign exchange markets. Published prices and inclusions are subject to change without notice. PAYMENTS All payments by guests to PGC or its service providers for services rendered during the cruise must be made in U.S. currency and must be paid before final disembarkation.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither PGC nor the owner or manager of the ship shall have any liability to any guest for the quality of services and the condition of cleanliness at a hotel or housing facility, or for any transportation delay, including, but not limited to, liability for inconvenience, shortened vacation time, additional expense, or any other kind of damage. PGC expressly disclaims all responsibility of any nature whatsoever for any loss, damage or injury to property or person from the provision of any air, rail or

9 motorcoach transportation. Deposit or payment for a reservation constitutes consent to all terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ticket/Contract.

Shore programs do operate in wet weather, but within safety

10 guidelines. Should the weather conditions be outside these guidelines, the program will be canceled by the tour operator, and a refund or credit will be processed at the end of the cruise.

TRANSFERS Transfers are included if guests are booked on a Paul Gauguin air or hotel program. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Cruise documents and airline tickets will be sent to guests after receipt of final payment and required guest information, and are generally sent approximately 25 days prior to departure. AIR AND LAND SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS Paul Gauguin Cruises is pleased to offer guests the opportunity to participate in programs that incorporate the air and land components of their travel with their cruise. Details of these programs are set forth below. AIR/SEA PROGRAM FOR CRUISES ON THE m/s PAUL GAUGUIN Our Air/Sea Program for cruises on the Paul Gauguin incorporates air travel from Los Angeles as part of the package. Other designated gateway cities are available for a supplement. The air transportation is based on economy class or coach travel using carriers and routing determined by PGC. If dictated by flight schedules, day room accommodations will be included. Schedules: Schedules in the Air/Sea program are based on the schedules of PGC s airline partners at the time of brochure printing. Air Concierge: We offer guests the opportunity to request changes to their flight itineraries and/or travel dates. This service is available on all deposited bookings for a $100 per-person fee per change, plus any applicable service charges and/or supplier fees. Please note that fee does not apply when requesting a standard upgrade to First or Business Class. When deviating from our standard air/sea program, guests will forfeit any transfer, hospitality services, and hotel accommodations that may be included in the standard air/sea or land programs. Upgrades: Air upgrades may be available for both the trans-pacific portion of the flight and domestic legs to the international gateway city. Please contact reservations for details and pricing. Availability and Changes to Program: The Air/Sea Program is subject to availability at the time of booking and is subject to change without notice. LAND PROGRAMS FOR CRUISES ON THE m/s PAUL GAUGUIN All Paul Gauguin land and hotel program prices are based on double occupancy, per

11 person. Single and triple room prices are available upon request. All programs include: transfers as applicable, inter-island flights or ferry in French Polynesia where necessary with corresponding price adjustments, breakfast daily, deluxe hotel accommodations and taxes, and PGC s hospitality service in Tahiti. PGC reserves the right to substitute hotels of similar quality when and where necessary. Hotels, flights and transfers are based on components at time of printing and may change as necessary. Domestic flight/ferry arrangements for island programs beyond Papeete are made by local ground operators in Tahiti, and flight/ferry schedules are not always available in advance. Requests for additional nights may only be confirmed if flight schedules permit. Cruise-only guests on the m/s Paul Gauguin may purchase the standard pre-cruise and/or post-cruise arrangements for a fee. Please contact reservations for details and pricing. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As the air fares negotiated by PGC are very restricted, all tickets issued are nonendorsable and cannot be exchanged for another carrier or alternative routing. Any charges that result from a ticket alteration being made by or on behalf of the guest will be the sole responsibility of the guest. All airline tickets issued by PGC are refundable only to PGC. Any unused portion of the flight ticket must be returned to PGC, as appropriate. We will, in turn, determine the amount of refund due, if applicable. Preliminary flight itineraries will be available 60 days prior to sailing. Some airlines restrict the accumulation or use of frequent flyer miles in conjunction with fares used by cruise lines. PGC reserves the right to choose the air carrier and routing from each gateway city and the right to use charter air service for guest air transportation. PGC also reserve the right to change airline routing for any reason and/or re-route guests without prior notice to the nearest departure city if adequate air service is unavailable. Occasionally, due to scheduling conflicts, an enroute overnight stay might be necessary. Should this be the case, PGC will advise you or your travel agent about this at the time of confirming your air schedule. Unless otherwise specified in the cruise program description, any costs associated with the events described above will be the responsibility of the guest. Enroute overnights as described above are subject to change or cancellation due to changes in air scheduling. As the air fares offered are negotiated at very favorable rates and are usually below published levels, availability is limited. PGC will do its utmost to secure these fares for you. However, the earlier you book your cruise, the more likely we will be able to obtain your ticket at this special negotiated fare. All air fares quoted are subject to change without notice. Air fares are not guaranteed until full payment for the cruise/air package

12 has been received and documents/airline tickets have been issued. All guests who elect not to participate in PGC s Air/Sea Program or do not purchase transfer arrangements from PGC will be responsible for their own transfer arrangements to and from the ship. The Travel Desk on board can assist with post-cruise transfer arrangements once Guests are onboard. PGC are not responsible for any expenses or costs incurred as a result of uncontrolled events, including but not limited to strikes, changes, delays and inclement weather as they relate to the ship s schedule or by any change in schedules or routing by the guest, travel agent or airline. In the case of loss of the airline ticket, the replacement and cost of same will be the responsibility of the guest. In addition, any flight change requests made within 60 days of departure, such as a new Air/Sea booking or changes to an existing booking, may be subject to a fee. Please Note: Persons in possession of illegal drugs are subject to immediate disembarkation and reporting to law enforcement authorities. This could result in legal proceedings. Please keep in mind that the drug laws in many countries can be very restrictive and the penalties severe. For these purposes, marijuana, even if prescribed for medicinal purposes, is considered an illegal drug as it is prohibited both under U.S. law as well as the laws of all or most of the countries that the ship visits. Prescription Marinol, which is used by some as an alternative to marijuana, is permitted. Paul Gauguin Cruises holds a strict alcoholic beverage service policy. The minimum legal age for drinking alcoholic beverages on board is 21 years of age.
