Visa Requirements

Timing:

Each leg begins and ends at 12 noon on the day stated in the schedule. Our arrival in the port of destination is generally one day early to allocate the necessary time for customs clearance and provide you time to reconfirm airline tickets, pack up, and do some exploring. It is unfortunately not possible to join the boat earlier than 12 noon, or stay later as the time between trips is needed for maintenance, crew breaks, and provisioning. Please plan on arriving at least 24 hours before the start of your voyage. Spend the night(s) in a hotel, so that you'll have a chance to get over jet lag and be well rested and acclimatized when you come aboard. This extra day(s) means less chance of holding up the start of the trip because of late flights or baggage. You may want to consider planning a night or more ashore at our destination, before flying home. And Finally (if you haven't done so already):

Take this time to fill out the confidential Medical questionnaire. Review thoroughly and print the What to Bring list.

Points Reservation System

Our reservation system is a simple method which allows each member equal access to trips or times of the year in high demand. The more points you have, the higher priority you have when booking your "first choice" trip each year. You "acquire" points by a combination of three methods:

1. Time of year: "low demand", "high demand", and "extreme demand"
2. Trip choice: First, Second, Third, or "Other"
3. SKY Members get 30 additional points year 1
4. CELESTIAL Members get 50 additional points year 1

The more points you have going into a certain year gives you priority over another owner with less points who wants the same trip. OCEAN members may be subject to Black Out dates. Here is the calendar for the 2010 season after choices were made (just as an example):




KEY:

Time Period	Points
