A S OF 26 M AY 2 023 warranties specific to Expedition Cruises. Expedition Cruises involve additional risks and dangers above and beyond those of non-Expedition Cruises. Because of these inherent risks, all passengers traveling on Expedition Cruises are required to submit a Fit to Travel letter prior to travel and to update the Fit to Travel letter as also set forth in the Passenger Ticket Contract. Expedition Cruises are subject to greater restrictions on services and accommodations than would otherwise be generally applicable, including but not limited to what passengers may be able to bring on board during their travel on an Expedition Cruise. If you are traveling on an Expedition Cruise, you warrant that you have no physical or psychological condition which would entail an unreasonable risk to the health or safety of others or to the safe conduct of the Expedition Cruise and agree to abide by all terms and conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract. POSSESSION OF PROHIBITED ITEMS, ILLEGAL DRUGS AND/OR MARIJUANA Marijuana possession or use, including medical marijuana and CBD oil, and possession or use of any illegal drugs, is strictly prohibited in many jurisdictions visited and on all ships at all times, as well as in terminals, during shore excursions or any other part of the cruise tour, regardless of any local, state, or other laws which might permit use or possession of marijuana. Passengers who violate the laws of any jurisdiction are subject to being reported to law enforcement or customs authorities, arrest and prosecution. Passengers who bring dangerous items, marijuana (including medical marijuana) or any illegal drugs or controlled substances on board are also subject to immediate disembarkation or denial of boarding. You shall have no claim for refund, loss, damage, inconvenience or compensation whatsoever under any of these circumstances. Refer to the Passenger Ticket Contract for more details. SECURITY GUIDE As required by the U.S. Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010, applicable to ocean cruise ships that embark or disembark in the United States, this guide provides information on emergency contacts and proper procedures for ocean cruises during such voyages. In the event of a medical emergency, missing person or criminal activity, you should immediately dial 999 or contact: • Security Officer (Deck 1; Phone 9009) (on Viking Star Deck 6; Phone 9708; on Viking Sea Deck 6; Phone 9775) • Guest Services Desk (Deck 1; Phone 9710) • Medical Center (Deck A; Phone 2010 Nurse) All these contacts are available 24 hours a day to report any such incident. The ship's Security Officer is responsible for responding to alleged crimes and missing persons and should be contacted immediately for any such event. Any missing persons and criminal activity should be reported immediately so that appropriate personnel can take prompt action and secure necessary information. The Carrier has zero tolerance for crime on board its vessels. On international voyages that embark or disembark in the United States we are required by federal law to report on-board felonies and missing U.S. nationals to federal agencies. For a missing U.S. national and all serious felonies (homicide, suspicious death, kidnapping, assault with serious bodily injury, sexual assaults as defined by federal laws, firing or tampering with the vessel, or theft of money or property in excess of US$10,000) the incident must be reported to the F.B.I. as soon as possible. These requirements apply to incidents that occur on board in U.S. territorial waters, or on the high seas or in foreign waters if the assailant or victim is a U.S. national. The F.B.I. can assert criminal jurisdiction in all these circumstances. Each of the nations visited, as well as the vessel's nation of registry, may also assert jurisdiction and/or impose additional reporting requirements. VRC and the Carrier reserve the right to report any/all criminal allegations to any national, state or local law enforcement agency in addition to those mentioned. For missing persons or felonies arising at any time during the voyage you may independently contact the F.B.I. or U.S. Coast Guard. For incidents within state or foreign waters or ports you may, in addition, contact local law enforcement authorities. We request you timely report any incident to vessel management. Failure to do so may prevent a thorough collection of information and evidence.
