New to Cruising V

Pre – Cruise

What's Included In My Cruise Fare?
Just about everything - your accommodation, meals in designated outlets, entertainment and many onboard activities are all part of the fare.

What's Not Included In My Cruise Fare?
Optional shore excursions, alternative dining, selected shows / entertainment, items of personal nature such as beverages, telephone calls, facsimile or e-mail services, shop purchases, laundry, beauty treatment, hairdressing and massage services, medical services, port charges, fuel charges, insurance, government taxes and fees are not included in the fare.

Passage Restrictions
Passage for a pregnant woman will only be permitted before her 24th week of pregnancy at the time of sailing.

Vaccination
At the current time, no vaccinations are compulsory for any Star Cruises destination. However, guests may wish to consult their doctor to make sure their immunization records are up-to-date or if any further vaccinations are required in those countries that are in their cruise itinerary.

Clothing
Smart casual attire is suitable for most occasions. For your dining pleasure as well as for other guests, elegant casual attire is required during dinner at fine dining restaurants such as Bella Vista onboard SuperStar Virgo. However, a lounge suit or jacket and tie for men, and an evening dress for ladies, are recommended on gala nights.

Currencies
Most foreign currencies are accepted onboard at prevailing exchange rates. The onboard currency will be that of the country where the ship is based (e.g. Singapore dollars for cruises out of Singapore, Hong Kong dollars for cruises out of Hong Kong). Most major credit cards (Visa / Master / JCB / Amex / Diners) are accepted, along with travellers cheques, but not personal cheques.

Physically Challenged Guests
Most areas onboard our vessels are accessible to the physically challenged. There are also cabins for the physically challenged, with wider doorways and larger bathrooms with grab bars and folding shower seats. The ship also provides wheelchairs for emergency purposes.

Luggage
For your comfort and convenience, we recommend that each guest take no more than one suitcase and one hand baggage. These must fit comfortably in your cabin as no baggage will be stored in the ship's hold. Your total baggage weight should not be more than 30kg.

*Check-in baggage will be delivered to the respective cabins no later than 60 minutes after sailing. Guests who do not receive the luggage by this time may contact the Concierge onboard.
