● Passengers must not bring any alcoholic beverages or illegal substances onto the vessel.

● Boarding pass tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable and will not be replaced if lost, destroyed or damaged.

● Cruise Accessibility
- All wharves accessed on this cruise are Step Wharves (*see definition below) with the exception of Taronga Zoo. Therefore, if passengers wish to disembark, they will need to have their own assistants to assist them up the wharf steps and onto land or alternatively be able to navigate the stairs themselves. The vessel is wheelchair accessible.
- The Service Provider will ensure that all passengers who require wheelchair access understand that the company is responsible to safely board and unload them but cannot ensure their safety up or down a Step Wharf arrangement.

*Step Wharves are fixed arrangement wharves where a set of stairs leads to the water from a landing. Generally these wharves provide extremely difficult access for wheelchairs due to the fact that a person who requires wheelchair access may have to be lifted up or down up to 10 steps to the position of the gangway.
