Any item forfeited or removed may be disposed of by Carrier or turned over to appropriate authorities.

16. Physical Disability/Wheelchairs: Mandated safety requirements in the construction and operation of the Vessel, inherently restrict manoeuvrability in many areas. Consequently, the Vessel is not suitable for persons with disabilities or use wheelchair by shore-based standards. In this respect, the anticipated natural movements of a vessel at sea should be considered. If any doubt exists about the ability of a passenger to accept such conditions, they are advised not to travel on the Vessel. Carrier reserves the right to refuse or revoke passage to anyone who, in its sole judgment, is unfit to travel on the Vessel or who may require attention beyond that which the Vessel can provide. Passengers may also be required to sign a statement releasing AE from all responsibility relative to the use of shipboard facilities and in the event of an emergency.

17. Medical Personnel: Due to the nature of travel by water, availability of medical care may be limited or delayed, and medical evacuation may not be possible from the Vessel while at sea or from every location the Vessel sails.

It is the sole responsibility of the Passenger to determine what travel documents are required. Carrier reserves the right to deny boarding to any Passenger who does not possess all necessary travel documents, who does not provide the required medical information correctly and transparently, or who is considered as ill or “unfit to travel” by the ship’s doctor and/or nurse. . In the event a Passenger is denied boarding, Carrier shall have no duty or obligation to refund the Passenger’s fare. Passenger, or if a

minor, their guardian, shall be liable to Carrier for any fines or penalties imposed on Carrier by any government, governmental

authority or port for failure of the Passenger to observe or comply with laws or regulations, including requirements relating to immigration, customs or excise taxes or fees.

19. Cancellation, Deviation or Substitution by Carrier: Carrier may for any reason, at any time and without prior notice, cancel, advance, postpone or deviate from any scheduled sailing, port of call, destination, lodging or any activity on or off the Vessel, or substitute another vessel or port of call, destination, lodging or activity. Carrier shall not be liable for any claim whatsoever by Passenger, including but not limited to loss, compensation, or refund, because of such cancellation, advancement,

postponement, substitution or deviation. By way of example, and not limitation, Carrier may, without liability, deviate from any scheduled sailing and may otherwise land Passenger and his/her property at any port if Carrier believes that the voyage or any Passenger or property may be hindered or adversely affected as a result of hostilities, blockages, prevailing weather conditions, labour conflicts, strikes onboard or ashore, breakdown of Vessel, congestion, docking difficulties, medical or lifesaving emergencies or any other cause whatsoever.

Carrier shall have the right to comply with any orders, recommendations, or directions whatsoever given by any governmental entity or by persons purporting to act with such authority; and such compliance shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement entitling the Passenger to assert any claim for liability, compensation or refund. In the event of cancellation, AE will not be responsible for cost of any additional travel arrangements through third party suppliers purchased directly through AE or other parties.

20. If any provision of this Agreement is determined in any jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and all remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

21. Children and Minors onboard: Minors under the age of 18 must be travelling with a parent or responsible adult over the age of 21 in the same stateroom as well as on shore excursions for the duration of the voyage.

Although AE accepts children over 8 years of age there is no childcare or special programming onboard. In addition, safety harnesses and seating equipment are not provided for children onboard any AE excursion or shuttle service.

to safely secure the child. This equipment is not guaranteed, and AE reserves the right to refuse any child above the age of 8 years of age and below 14 years of age on any shore excursion or shuttle for safety concerns.

addressed.

34. Contagious or Infectious Disease. At any port or place we may refuse to embark or may disembark any Guest who, in the opinion of the Master, ship's medical personnel or other authorised ship's officer, might be excluded from landing at destination by Immigration or other Governmental Authorities or who may be suffering from contagious or infectious disease or whose presence, in the opinion of the Master, may be detrimental to the comfort or safety of other guests or the crew. In such cases the Guest concerned shall not be entitled to any refund of the holiday cost or compensation of any kind. 

Additionally, we will have no liability for any costs or expenses they incur as a result. In cases of quarantine of the ship involving detention of guests, each Guest must bear all risk and expense thereby caused and will be charged for food and accommodation during the period of detention, payable day by day, if maintained on board the ship, and for all other quarantine fees and expenses assessed or incurred in respect of the Guest.

Any item

forfeited or removed may be disposed of by Carrier or turned over to appropriate authorities.

16. Physical Disability/Wheelchairs: Mandated safety requirements in the construction and operation of the Vessel, inherently restrict manoeuvrability in many areas. Consequently, the Vessel is not suitable for persons with disabilities or use wheelchair by shore-based standards. In this respect, the anticipated natural movements of a vessel at sea should be considered. If any doubt

exists about the ability of a passenger to accept such conditions, they are advised not to travel on the Vessel. Carrier reserves the right to refuse or revoke passage to anyone who, in its sole judgment, is unfit to travel on the Vessel or who may require attention beyond that which the Vessel can provide. Passengers may also be required to sign a statement releasing AE from all responsibility relative to the use of shipboard facilities and in the event of an emergency.

It is the sole responsibility of the Passenger to determine what travel documents are required.  Carrier reserves the right to deny boarding to any Passenger who does not possess all necessary travel documents, who does not provide the required medical information correctly and transparently, or who is considered as ill or “unfit to travel” by the ship’s doctor and/or nurse. . In

the event a Passenger is denied boarding, Carrier shall have no duty or obligation to refund the Passenger’s fare. Passenger, or if a minor, their guardian, shall be liable to Carrier for any fines or penalties imposed on Carrier by any government, governmental

By way of example, and not limitation, Carrier may, without liability, deviate from any scheduled

cause whatsoever.

Carrier shall have the right to comply with any orders, recommendations, or directions whatsoever given by any governmental entity or by persons purporting to act with such authority; and such compliance shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement entitling the Passenger to assert any claim for liability, compensation or refund. In the event of cancellation, AE will not be responsible for cost of any additional travel arrangements through third party suppliers purchased directly through AE or other parties.

21. Children and Minors onboard: Minors under the age of 18 must be travelling with a parent or responsible adult over the age of 21 in the same stateroom as well as on shore excursions for the duration of the voyage.
