Can I leave the ship early?

If you are required, or choose, to leave the cruise for any reason (unless caused by our proven negligence or failure to provide services with due care and skill and that are reasonably fit for purpose), we are not responsible for any expenses, including your return home. This also applies if you do not return to the ship in time for sailing after a port visit. If we assist with any costs, you will be required to reimburse us. In addition, you will not be entitled to any refunds.

It is important to be aware that it will not always be possible to leave a cruise early, even when on an Australian domestic itinerary. Some Australian ports have strict border and quarantine restrictions which prevent cruise ship guests from discontinuing the cruise in that port, even if they are an Australian passport holder. Many international ports also have strict border restrictions and visa requirements.
