Travel Documents

• Travel documents: All Belgian nationals* (children and babies included) must be in possession of an international e-passport (biometric) containing min. 2 blank pages, valid at day of entry and during the entire stay. Connections recommends to let common sense prevail and to build in some slack in terms of validity. Often unforeseen circumstances (weather factors, volcanoes, and threats all kinds) are the cause of a mandatory postponed return date. A credit card is required upon check-in at the hotels and also when renting a car.Please keep this in mind. We strongly recommend you to print out the Esta- or Eta permit and to have it on you while you travel to avoid problems.

• All passengers who travel to and /or via the U.S. must apply for an electronic travel authorization at least 72 hours prior to departure. The ESTA procedure must be requested via the official website link https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and paid by a personal credit card only.

• Travellers with a non-Belgian nationality and / or travellers travelling on a foreign passport are invited to spontaneously report this matter to the Connections travel consultant and shall contact their respective embassy (s) or Consulate (ate) to obtain the latest updates concerning all current travel requirements and documents. They must apply for an electronic travel authorization at least 72 hours prior to departure via the official website link https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and pay by a personal credit card only.

Payments methods

A personal credit card is required upon check-in at the hotels and also when renting a car. The most convenient method of payment is by credit card but cash euros and dollars in small amount come in handy. Inform yourself timely, as from January 15, 2015 your Visa and/or MasterCard credit card (and possibly other types of credit cards) has automatically been set to "not for use in the US, for US car rental agencies and during cruises under the American flag".

You must then apply for a release of your credit card. This may be done prior to your arrival in the U.S. (in your bank branch or via the telephone number listed on the back of your credit card or by means of a special form available for PC banking) as well as after arrival in the US (through a withdrawal at an ATM. Please note, in this case there will be a transaction fee charged to your account). The same applies to the Maestro function in your bank card.

Price Deal
A cruise is very affordable and value for money is top-notch. A lot has already been included in the price.

Comfortable
You only have to pack and unpack your suitcase once and still get everywhere.

Variety
A different destination every day: from magnificent cities and new cultures to breathtaking white beaches.

Activities
Numerous excursions and activities are organized on board and on land, from jeep safaris to dance sessions, from various sports to cooking demonstrations. Or just do nothing, and relax by the pool or the beach. At sunset, the spectacle begins on board. Cabaret, stand-up comedians, magic shows and real broadway shows will amaze you every night.

Ideal for families
When you are a child, cruising is an experience. A beautiful swimming pool, a kids' club full of friends and a restaurant whit endless possibilities for children.

PRACTICAL INFO

Fleet
The fleet consists of modern, young ships with many facilities and are very suitable for couples and families with children. For the latter, there are several children's clubs, divided by age category.
Of course, there are also plenty of activities for adults: play a game of table tennis with 1 of the other guests, take part in a wine or art seminar, watch a cooking demonstration or simply work out in the gym. Let yourself be pampered in the spa, book an exotic hot-stone massage or just do nothing! On board, flexibility and freedom are paramount.

Cabins
If you book an inside cabin, your sleeping area will have no windows. If you only plan to sleep there, that's no problem, there are plenty of views aboard the rest of the ship. Outdoor cabins do have a window so you can enjoy a view from your own room. You can also book an outside cabin with a private balcony. This way you can relax in peace and privacy and enjoy the view and the outdoors.
