We look forward to welcoming you onboard.

LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Luggage allowance guidelines/fees vary by airline, airport and/or class of service. Airlines are strictly enforcing these policies and you may be required to pay additional charges at check-in should the weight and size of your luggage be outside the airline’s set policy and/or the number of pieces exceeds the free luggage allowance. Many airlines limit each piece of luggage to 23 kg (50 lbs) or less. Since the airlines change their policies frequently, we strongly recommend that you or your travel/agent contact the air carrier(s) directly for the most up-to-date baggage allowance policies and weight/size restrictions. These policies are updated regularly on most airline websites. Please note that you are fully responsible for any luggage fees imposed by the airlines upon check-in. Silversea is not liable for any costs associated with checked or carry-on luggage, or any items confiscated at the security checkpoint.
Silver Shore Transfers, Land Adventures and charter flights may have additional baggage limitations. Your final travel documents include the details of the luggage limitations, if applicable.
All luggage must be securely packed and tagged with the pre-printed luggage tags supplied as part of your documentation package. In accordance with airport security restrictions for carry-on baggage, we recommend you carry travel documents (passports, visas, inoculation verification, voyage and air tickets), medications and valuables by hand. Liquid, fragile, perishable and other articles not suitably packed are transported at your own risk.
While every effort is made to deliver luggage to your suite upon embarkation, delivery may be delayed due to strict customs formalities, which are beyond the ship’s control.

AIR INFORMATION
We kindly ask you to check your air schedule and ticket names upon receipt to ensure all information is correct. We also recommend that you contact the air carrier 72 hours prior to your flight to verify flight times. Changes to your flights/itinerary may not be possible after your ticket has been issued without incurring modification and/or service fees, or being required to purchase new air tickets at your own expense. To secure your preferred seat(s), we recommend you contact your travel advisor and/or the airline directly. All fees charged by the air carrier for advance seat reservation are your responsibility. We regret that Silversea is unable to guarantee reserved airline seats. If you have any dietary restrictions or require a special meal, please be sure to advise the airline, or Silversea, at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure.
If you have purchased flights and transfers independently, you should allow a minimum of four hours between the ship’s arrival/departure time and your flight arrival/departure time. (There are exceptions, please contact your travel advisor or Silversea.) This will allow for unexpected delays including, but not limited to, disembarkation formalities, transfer time to/from the airport, two to three hours for flight check-in, customs/ immigration formalities, unanticipated scheduled air or charter flight delays, and baggage claim/transfer.
Guests requiring wheelchair assistance should notify Silversea in advance to ensure appropriate transportation and/or accommodation arrangements are made.
If your flight is delayed beyond your ship’s departure time, please contact one of Silversea’s offices immediately at:

HOTEL AND TRANSFERS
Silversea offers optional pre- and post-hotel and transfer arrangements. Please contact Silversea or your travel agent for availability and details.
If you purchased transfers directly with Silversea, you must provide your flight schedule at least 21 days in advance to ensure proper transfer arrangements.

CUSTOMS
Before departing, please consider registering your valuables (e.g. jewellery, cameras, electronic equipment, etc.) with U.S. customs. Although this is not a requirement, it will help to prevent delays in clearing customs upon your return to the U.S. For further information, please consult your travel agent or visit the U.S. Customs Services’ website at www.cbp.gov and click on “Travel”. If you are not a U.S. resident, contact your local customs office.

EMBARKATION
Embarkation times are included in your final voyage documents. Kindly ensure you have updated all your passport information in your MySilversea account. For customs and immigration purposes, you are required to be onboard at least 90 minutes before the ship’s departure to meet governmental clearance requirements. Guests arriving too close to the ship’s departure could be denied boarding. Once you arrive at the terminal, you will need to show your Silversea voyage documents and your passport. We strongly recommend you keep all necessary documents at hand in your carry-on bag.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
To ensure your journey runs smoothly, please remember to bring all required travel documents. These include air and voyage tickets, passport, visa and, if required, medical card inoculation verification. Please be aware that security measures imposed by overseas governments may change from time to time. It is your responsibility to secure all relevant documentation for your trip. If any guest fails to obtain and to have such documents readily available, that guest may be denied boarding and accommodation, or they may be disembarked during the voyage.
Note: Your passport must be valid for six months following your return date.
We require all guests to provide us with the above-mentioned documentation in order to board our vessels. Should you have any questions regarding travel documents, please consult your travel agent for advice.

SILVER SHORE BAGGAGE VALET
Silversea offers an optional baggage handling programme that conveniently begins and ends at your front door, enabling you to travel with ease.
For your convenience, we offer round-trip and one-way service options, with pricing based on the weight and number of pieces to be shipped. For most international embarkation ports, we require your luggage to be picked up 10-14 business days prior to your sail date. Each piece of luggage is insured up to a maximum of USD 2,000.
Exceptions may apply. Please contact Silversea or your travel agent for additional details, fares and general information.

SPECIAL OCCASIONS
If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or other special occasion during your voyage, we will be delighted to celebrate the event with you. Please indicate your special occasion on your Guest Information Form in MySilversea or have your travel agent advise us at least four weeks before departure.

MEDICAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE
Please note that you are required to complete the special assistance questionnaire found in My Silversea, Guest information Form, Special requests Tab at Silversea.com.

HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE
During the boarding process, you will be asked to complete a health acknowledgment form.

INOCULATIONS
Generally, inoculations are not required in most areas where Silversea travels. However, any requirements that may apply are subject to change so we recommend you verify current guidelines with your travel agent before departure. Please note that when travelling to countries which do require vaccinations, written verification will be needed. Before taking any trip overseas, it is wise to check with your doctor, especially if you are under a doctor’s care.

PREGNANCY
Silversea’s policy regarding pregnancy is derived from the Cruise Lines International Association endorsement of the American College of Emergency Physicians Health Care Guidelines for Cruise Ship Medical Facilities. This includes the guideline that “pregnant women who have entered the 24th week of pregnancy at any time during the voyage should not be eligible to sail on the ship”. It is Silversea’s policy that any guest who has entered her 24th week of pregnancy or above, at any time during the voyage, will be prohibited from sailing. The guest and treating doctor should consider before any sailing that there is no obstetrician/gynecologist available on the ship and those pregnancies, when unstable and poorly controlled, are potentially life- threatening, especially without backup.
Please note that during our sailings, pregnant guests may be at sea for several days without any immediate hospital and/or specialised backup. Pregnant guests must please note that if the proposed itinerary is not within the U.S., the availability of specialised shoreside facilities can be problematic. All guests are required to sign a health questionnaire at check- in to ensure they are aware of our pregnancy policy. If you have already booked a cruise or cruise tour and do not meet this requirement, please contact your travel agent or airline.

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
For your convenience and wellbeing, you must bring a sufficient supply of any prescription medicine you may need. Prescriptions cannot be refilled onboard, and usually cannot be refilled overseas. To prevent delays in clearing customs, it is also a good idea to travel with a doctor’s letter explaining your prescription medication is required for your continued health. It is also recommended that the medicine remains in its original container with the original pharmacy label intact.

SPECIAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS
At Silversea, your health and safety are our priority. If you have any existing medical conditions that may require our attention, or should you need oxygen for medical reasons while onboard, we kindly ask you to send us a written notification before your voyage to Silversea Special Services, 333 SE 2nd Avenue, Suite 2600, Miami, FL 33131 or by fax to + 1 954-759-5049.
Please note that an oxygen concentrator is the only form of oxygen equipment that Silversea ships can accommodate. Guests wishing to bring their portable oxygen tanks must obtain prior written authorisation from Silversea, as restrictions may apply.

GUESTS WITH REDUCED MOBILITY
Guests who rely upon wheelchairs must bring their collapsible wheelchair. Silversea strongly recommends wheelchair guests to travel with someone who is able to assist them both ashore and at sea, as Silversea is unable to offer special assistance at all times. Silversea does not offer full-time wheelchair service and/or staff fully dedicated to providing guests with wheelchair assistance.
Please note that not all shore excursions are suitable for guests with impaired mobility.
Guests requiring wheel-on and/or wheel-off access must contact Silversea before making a booking. Please note that wheel-on and/or wheel-off access may not be available at some ports of call. Silversea reserves the right to deny boarding to any guest who failed to notify Silversea of such requirement at the time of booking.
By booking passage and by boarding the ship, you represent and warrant you are physically and otherwise fit to travel, and you will comply at all times with applicable rules and regulations of the ship, and the orders and instructions of the ship’s officers and medical staff.
Silversea reserves the right without liability to require a guest to disembark and/or to refuse to board and transport a guest who, in the judgment of Silversea or the ship’s Master, is unfit to travel or may require care beyond that which Silversea is reasonably able to provide.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
Silversea will make every attempt to accommodate guests with special dietary requirements. If you have any special needs, please note them on the Guest Information Form or have your travel agent fax Silversea Special Services (+ 1 954-759-5049) or email: specialservices@silversea.com at least 120 days before sailing. Extra charges might apply.

What to pack

PACKING ESSENTIALS
ONBOARD DRESS CODE
Silversea operates an onboard dress code after 6 pm.
During the day, casual wear is suitable, akin to standard sports outfits found at five-star resorts. It is recommended to wear flat or low-heeled shoes for deck activities.
Evening wear falls into two categories:

  • Elegant Casual: On casual evenings, ladies may opt for trousers, blouses, skirts, or casual dresses, while gentlemen can wear opencollar shirts and slacks. A jacket is optional.
  • Formal Optional: Guests may choose a more formal attire, such as an evening gown or cocktail dress for ladies and a tuxedo, dinner jacket, or dark suit with a tie for gentlemen. Alternatively, guests are welcome to adhere to the Elegant Casual dress code, except that gentlemen must wear a jacket in all indoor spaces.

Regardless of the daily dress code:

  • After 6 pm, indoor spaces prohibit jeans, shorts, sneakers, or flipflop-type footwear.

  • Casual wear is always suitable in outdoor venues.

  • Gentlemen dining at La Dame restaurants are required to wear a jacket.
    The number of formal evenings depends on the length of the voyage. A guideline for reference is below:

  • On sailings of 7 days or less, guests can expect only Elegant Casual nights.

  • On sailings of 8-14 days, guests can expect between one and two Formal Optional nights.

  • On sailings of 15 days or more, guests can expect at least two Formal Optional nights.

OTHER ITEMS TO PACK
The Boutique onboard is stocked with some toiletries as well as a few other essential items. However, we do suggest you pack a supply of essential items, since toiletries are often expensive overseas and sometimes unavailable. Also, be sure to pack an ample supply of film/ memory cards and batteries for your camera, chargers and cables for all electronic devices you bring, over-the- counter medications and prescription drugs.

SILVERSEA Silver Nova - What to pack 1

While onboard

COMMUNICATION AT SEA
Communication via satellite onboard is a significantly different experience compared to high-speed connections onshore.
The signal travels in a similarly manner to radio waves but at much greater distances. That is why onboard internet access can be inconsistent and cannot be guaranteed at all times. Satellite communications can be affected by weather and the ship’s location. As such, there may be temporary outages of any satellite-provided service, including internet, mobile phones, in-suite phones, television broadcast channels and world news summaries.
Considering these limitations, internet access is best used for email communication and web browsing. Certain websites and services may be restricted due to limited bandwidth. Certain online activities require high bandwidth and would be more frustrating than enjoyable.

INTERNET ACCESS
All guests will be granted complimentary, unlimited standard Wi-Fi for one device at a time. Guests sailing in an Otium, Owner’s, Grand, Master, Signature, Silver, Junior Grand, Premium Medallion or Medallion suite will receive complimentary unlimited premium Wi-Fi for up to two devices at a time. Standard Wi-Fi is provided at regular satellite speed — ideal for emailing, web surfing, chat or similar. Not suitable for video, audio calls, or streaming. Premium Wi-Fi access is suitable for all kinds of applications, including video and audio call and streaming. Premium Wi-Fi is available at an additional charge and will provide access for up to four devices simultaneously. You may use your own laptop to conveniently access the wireless internet and personal email services from the privacy of your own suite, and throughout the ship.

MOBILE PHONE AND DATA SERVICES
You can send and receive phone calls, text messages and other select data services on your smartphone or device while onboard. You will be billed by your home mobile phone provider; calls, text messages and data will appear as roaming charges on your bill. Before leaving home, you should contact your provider to confirm a roaming agreement and the applicable rates. Each suite is equipped with an in-suite telephone system that allows you to make direct- dial phone calls from your suite while at sea. Calls will be billed to your onboard account. Please consult the ship’s Reception Desk for the current rate, which (at time of printing) is USD 1.50 per minute.
The ship’s Internet service is a very reasonably priced alternative to phoning. Should someone wish to reach yout while you are at sea, please refer to the “Leave Behind Information” provided in the final voyage documents.

PRESSREADER
It is recommended that you download the PressReader application before joining the ship to enjoy a variety of complimentary newspapers from around the world once onboard, directly from your iPad/iPhone or Android device. The application is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Once onboard, visit the Silversea Portal page then follow the PressReader link to connect and enjoy a worldwide selection of newspapers from our offline library.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
For your convenience, 110-volt (U.S. current) and 220-volt (European current) outlets are provided in your suite, accommodating small appliances without the use of adapters or electric converters. USB-A and USB-C sockets are available. A hairdryer is provided in each suite.
Irons are available in the launderette for your convenience. It is recommended that you pack an international adaptor.

ALL-INCLUSIVE
Onboard our ships, you will enjoy 24-hour gourmet dining, sustainable caviar, in-suite dining, butler service, superb entertainment and one complimentary shore excursion every day.
A selection of soft drinks, water, wines, spirits, and Champagne are complimentary throughout the ship. Your in-suite refrigerator and bar will be replenished upon request with your preferences. (A selection of premium wines, Champagnes and spirits are available at an additional charge.)
Silversea reserves the right to refuse to serve anyone who in our sole judgment may be under the influence of alcohol, or for any reason necessary to preserve the health and safety of guests and employees). Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol.

Shore excursions may require minimum participation levels to operate, so it recommended to sign up as early as possible.

The Shore Excursions Programme is subject to availability in each port and your first choice may not be available. The first shore excursion booked in a single day/port, among the shore excursions bookable and available within the Programme, will be considered included, while additional excursions will be charged at full fare. The Shore Excursion Programme does not apply in the embarking and disembarking port. In case your first choice in a single port is waitlisted, Silversea recommends you choose an alternative option, which will be considered confirmed. Should your first choice subsequently become available, guests will be notified about the status of the waitlisted tour and have the option to make a final choice in MySilversea. More excursions are available for purchase at full price.
Silversea reserves the right to cancel any excursions including free shore excursions. No credit or other compensation will be given if free shore excursions are unavailable, cancelled or not used. All shore excursions, including those offered on a complimentary basis, are operated by independent partners over whom Silversea has no control. All advertised fares, savings, offers, programmes and itineraries are correct at time of printing, are subject to availability and may change at any time. Other restrictions may apply.
You will find a shore excursion booking form in your suite and at the Shore Concierge desk. Select the shore excursions in which you wish to participate, then leave the completed and signed form at the Shore Concierge desk before the booking deadline indicated. Shore Excursion tickets will be delivered to your suite and your selected excursions will be charge to your shipboard account. Overland and exclusive excursions must be pre-paid by credit card through your reservation agents. If still available, they may also be purchased onboard.
Silversea offers a broad range of activities for guests of all physical capabilities. However, certain excursions are more appropriate for physically fit and active guests. All excursions offered are clearly identified with an activity level to assist you. We also offer a wide variety of Accessible Shore Excursion worldwide (according to the ports availability and local structure) designed for guests unable to negotiate motor coach steps or for full-time wheelchair/scooter users. The vehicle used on this type of shore excursion is adapted with an access ramp (or lift where available) to accommodate a limited number of mobility devices. In order to use the ramp and/or lift, guests are required to be seated on a wheelchair or scooter. For your safety, enjoyment, and that of your fellow guests, please be sure to select excursions which meet your physical capability. We therefore encourage you to review the excursion description carefully including the PLEASE NOTE section, which includes useful information. Silversea also offers port talks onboard. If you have any questions or concerns regarding shore excursion suitability, please contact the Shore Concierge (shoreconcierge@silversea.com) before your voyage or visit the Shore Concierge desk for more detailed information once onboard.
Expert Shore Excursion advisors are available to assist you with your destination knowledge, personalised planning and coordination of all private or independent touring suggestions.
This could include area highlights, flightseeing, water sports and more.
To take advantage of this service, requests should be submitted no later than 15 days before sailing and you must have a deposited or fully paid their outstanding balance.
Strict cancellation policies apply to confirmed, exclusive programmes.
The Shore Concierge team can be contacted by email at shoreconcierge@silversea.com to arrange tailor-made tours.

FINANCIAL MATTERS
CARRYING MONEY
Silversea does not limit the amount of money you may carry during your voyage. For safety reasons, we recommend you take precautions and do not carry excessive amounts of cash. Many purchases can be conveniently made using credit cards or travellers cheques and do not require cash transactions. Silversea is not responsible for any loss of money.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE
It is a good idea to exchange some money at a bank before leaving home. Most international airports also offer currency exchange though they often charge higher fees than banks. We do not provide currency exchange onboard at all. The only currency the ships carry onboard is U.S. dollars.
A 2% transaction fee will be charged for all cash advances or cash out of U.S. dollar traveller’s cheques. Cash-outs are limited to USD 200
USD per day/ maximum USD 1,000 per voyage due to limited funds carried onboard.

MAKING PURCHASES ABROAD
If you plan to make any major purchases abroad, we recommend that you use your credit card ashore wherever it is accepted. This will often ensure you receive a better exchange rate than what is offered locally.

YOUR SHIPBOARD ACCOUNT
Upon embarkation, you will be asked to register your VISA®, Master Card® or American Express® credit card number and expiration date, which must be valid through the final day of your voyage. All charges for services provided and products purchased onboard must be settled in cash (U.S. dollars), by U.S. dollars traveller’s cheques or above listed credit cards at the end of each voyage segment and before final disembarkation from the ship. Foreign transaction fees are possible. Authorisation holds may be made on credit card purchases.

TRAVELLER’S CHEQUES
Traveller’s cheques in U.S. dollars may be used to pay your shipboard account.

U.S. customs will permit each traveler to return to the United States with no more than USD 800 worth of merchandise purchased abroad without paying duty. You will be charged a 10% duty for the next USD 1,000 worth of purchases, and on purchased items that total more than USD 1,400, you will be assessed an additional rate based on the retail value from the country of origin. Limits on tobacco and liquor are as follows: 100 cigars or 200 cigarettes and one litre of wine, beer or liquor.
