Upon embarkation, guests must possess valid documentation, including appropriate passports, visas, proofs of citizenship, and any health declarations required by governmental authorities or ports of call along the itinerary.
Victory Cruise Lines requires guests to advise the cruise line in writing prior to departure of any physical, emotional, or mental condition that may require special attention during the voyage. Guests must also notify Victory if they are physically challenged or require the use of a wheelchair or permitted medical equipment. Victory reserves the right to refuse embarkation to any passenger who is deemed unfit to undertake the scheduled voyage.
Health Conditions and Onboard Care
While licensed medical personnel are available on board, acute medical conditions may require disembarkation for shoreside emergency care. Guests are advised that due to the nature of maritime travel, emergency medical evacuation may be delayed or unavailable depending on the ship location. Additional health and safety considerations include:
- Assistance and Accessibility: Guests needing physical assistance or traveling with mobility impairments must be accompanied by a companion who assumes full responsibility for necessary care during the cruise and in emergency situations. Guests requiring a wheelchair must provide their own collapsible wheelchair.
- Oxygen Equipment Restrictions: Guests requiring oxygen canisters or oxygen concentrators must independently arrange, procure, and handle all equipment while on board. Liquid oxygen systems are strictly prohibited on board the vessel.
- Pre-Boarding Health Declarations: All passengers complete standard health check-in declarations prior to boarding to monitor for communicable illnesses and safeguard the shipboard community.
- Pregnancy Restrictions: For passenger safety at sea, Victory Cruise Lines cannot accommodate guests who will enter or exceed their 24th week of pregnancy at any point during the cruise.
