Cunard CompleteAir Program, booking
procedures, identification and refunds
Guests purchasing flights under the Cunard CompleteAir
Program may select either Flexible or Restricted fares
that offer differing levels of flexibility. Guests booked on
Restricted fares are required to pay for their flights in full
at the time of booking. Guests booked on Flexible fares
must pay for their flights in full no later than Final
Payment due date, as indicated by the Cunard reservations
system. Guest agrees to contact airline(s) directly to
reconfirm flights, to specify any special travel needs, and
to obtain seat assignments. Guest is responsible for
verifying that the spelling of names shown on the Flight
Information notice matches the identification presented
at airport check-in (i.e. Passport).
Guests purchasing flights under the Cunard
CompleteAir Program may choose their flight and seat
at the time of booking. Guests will be able to choose
from a selection of flights under either the Flexible or
Restricted program.
Cunard CompleteAir Same Day
Late Arrival Protection
Guests who book air travel through Cunard will be
automatically enrolled in the Cunard Same Day Late
Arrival Protection program. If guests miss or will miss
their original port of embarkation due to same day airline
delay or an airline service disruption, such as flight
cancellation or flight re-routes, Cunard will work with
the airlines to find a reasonable alternative to provide
flights to the next appropriate port at no additional air
cost to the guest. Please note, this applies to all cruises
except Transatlantic Crossings.
Services provided by independent contractors
All shoreside tours and services described in this
brochure, including air, hotels, transfers, and shore
excursions, are provided by independent contractors.
Cunard acts solely as the ticketing agent for all shoreside
activities. Cunard shall have no obligation or liability of
any kind to guests for acts or omissions in connection
with or arising out of arrangements with independent
contractors, including but not limited to airline carriers,
ground/tour operators, hotels, and onboard physicians
since they are neither agents for nor employees of Cunard.
International travel documents
and health information
It is the guest’s obligation to obtain and carry with them
a valid passport, visas, parental authorizations if
required, as well as public health documents for all
applicable ports of call and overland tour destinations.
Your passport must be valid for a minimum of six months
past the last day of your trip. Check with your Travel
Advisor for advice on such requirements. For non-U.S.
citizens or non-U.S. legal residents disembarking in a
U.S. port, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
requires you to provide your address while in the United
States after your cruise.
Depending on the area of the world visited, vaccination/
immunization requirements vary considerably and are
subject to change at any time. We suggest that guests
traveling outside of their country of residence consider
being immunized against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Polio,
Diphtheria, Tetanus, and COVID-19. An international
certificate, approved by the World Health Organization,
is the best medium for verification that inoculations and
vaccinations have been satisfactorily performed and is
accepted by health officials at all ports of call. We
strongly recommend that all guests contact their
personal physician, the Department of Public Health, or
the Centers for Disease Control to obtain expert medical
immunization recommendations for their intended
itinerary and travel plans and to specifically address
Malaria and Yellow Fever requirements in time to receive
any necessary vaccinations/immunizations. Any Malaria
prophylaxis medication recommended must be obtained
prior to joining the vessel.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information
presented is accurate at the time of printing. Ship details
and other information presented are subject to change at
any time, at the discretion of Cunard.
