A medical centre is available on board of Scenic Eclipse and will be staffed according to the destination. You acknowledge that Antarctica, the Americas, Transatlantic crossings, Arctic & Fjords regions are remote areas with limited medical facilities available. Due to the large number of passengers on board, we cannot provide a personal escort for medical visits.

In order for us to ensure your comfort and safety, we ask that your General Practitioner completes an online medical form. At 120 Days prior to your cruise departure date a link to the medical form will be available through Trip Personaliser. When the online form becomes available, please arrange for a long consultation with your doctor to complete the online form. The submitted form must be received no later than 90 days prior to your cruise departure and no earlier than 120 days. 

On Expedition Voyages and in remote locations, given the potentially extreme conditions and remote locations we may visit, you must complete a mandatory full medical questionnaire, we will provide prior to departure, to enable us to assess the risks involved. This questionnaire must be verified and signed by your medical practitioner between 90 and 60 days prior to the Journey departure date and must be provided to us no later than 60 days prior to the Journey departure date. Any medical questionnaire that is signed by your medical practitioner earlier than 90 days before the Journey departure date will not be accepted and a revised one will be required. 

Port information can be subject to change leading up to your sailing date. For the most current and accurate details, we recommend referring to your final e-documentation, which will be emailed to you, or your nominated travel advisor, approximately two to three weeks before your departure. You'll find the relevant port information in the "Joining Your Journey" section of this documentation.

Embarkation is scheduled from 2pm to 4pm. 

To ensure a smooth transition for departing guests concluding their voyage, we kindly recommend boarding after 2pm. This allows us ample time to prepare for our new guests coming on board.

All guests must checkout of their suites no later than 8:00am. Guests are welcome to use the public areas until 10:00am when disembarkation closes. Further information will be provided towards the conclusion of your voyage.
