Visa pages with stains or ink from other pages in the passport are not usable. Guests who deviate from the scheduled embarkation or disembarkation port should research the foreign entry requirements for the port country. Due to government regulations, regrettably, Compagnie du Ponant will have to deny boarding to any guest who fails to obtain the appropriate travel documentation for this trip.

The non-respect of this deadline will incur in mandatory additional fees of €200 or more.
