Insurance
Insurance is available to help recover non-refundable travel expenses for the trip, cancellations or interruptions, baggage damage or loss and trip accidents. We recommend that passengers consider these coverages. Consult us for specific details.

Medical
There is a doctor onboard. If any person has or is suffering from a serious ailment or condition, they should seek the advice & consent of their physician prior to embarking on board the vessel. CPTM-Aranui Cruises reserves the right to refuse passage to anyone in such a state of health or physical condition as to be unfit to travel or whose condition for whatever reason, might be dangerous to the individual or other passengers.

Cruise Information
Rates include cruise transportation and shipboard accommodations, meals and excursions. Fares are based on per adult twin share occupancy.

Rates Do Not Include
Shipboard purchases, liquor, gratuities, port taxes other than those specifically provided for, and other personal items. Rates quoted at time of printing are based on current costs and are subject to change up to and including the date of sailing.

Schedule and Other Extra Cost Provision
If, due to weather or other uncontrollable reasons, you are required to spend one or more additional nights, you will be responsible for your own hotel and meal costs. In addition, because the primary function of the vessels in the service of the CPTM is to carry freight, their departure dates, ports of call and duration of cruises may be subject to variation both prior to departure and en route. Freighter passengers should have a flexible schedule and anticipate the foregoing possibilities. While we do everything possible to inform and assist our clients, neither CPTM nor its agents will assume additional expenses, hotel or meal costs associated with delays or changes in itinerary and schedules.

Transfers
All cruise arrangements originate and terminate from the specified pier or departure point. Transportation is not provided between airport locations and the vessel, or vice versa, unless specified.

Baggage
All personal baggage is to be stored in the passenger’s cabin as we are unable to store it in other areas aboard the ship. Passengers should clearly label all luggage with their name, vessel, cabin number or deck assignment number and date of sailing. Valuables should be hand carried on board. We recommend that passengers take out a baggage damage or loss policy.

Travel documents and entry requirements
All passengers must have valid passports for entry into French Polynesia. Those citizens who are not residents of the United States or Canada or from the EEC and those planning to stay in French Polynesia for more than one month should contact their travel agent for visa requirements. All visitors must have a round trip ticket.

Inoculations
At time of printing, vaccinations were not required. Passengers should consult their travel agent for the latest requirements.

Refunds
Requests for refunds should be directed to the agency which sold your cruise. No refunds will be made on unused features, such as meals, voluntarily omitted by the passenger.
