This Cruise Credit is non-refundable and must be presented to your travel consultant and/or the Silversea reservations agent in advance of booking. The Cruise Certificate will not be honored onboard the ship and must be redeemed prior to embarking on the selected sailing. The Cruise Credit may be applied toward the cruise fare due and non-cruise components such as air upgrades, land, hotel nights and transfers, on a new booking made on or after its issue date. The Cruise Credit has no cash value and will be forfeited if not used prior to the expiration date. The Cruise Credit will be honored in the name(s) of the Guest(s) included on the Cruise Credit, or as a one-time exception the Cruise Credit can be transferred with a notarized letter from the Cruise Credit holder, naming the friend(s)/relative(s) the Credit is being transferred to. The Cruise Credit applies on any mutually agreed sailing of a vessel owned or operated by Silversea (unless charted to a third party) in which accommodation is available at the time the Cruise Credit is applied. The Cruise Credit may be used for all suite categories and pricing promotions other than: incentive groups and chartered sailings. Guests will remain responsible for paying the applicable deposit amounts, taxes/fees, port expenses and gratuities for the new booking (other restrictions may apply). Guests may apply the value of multiple Cruise Credit certificate to any one booking. If the value of this certificate is applied to a booking of less than its assigned value, remaining amount can be used on other new bookings, subject to the same terms and conditions as stated herein. Once applied toward future cruise(s), the Cruise Credit will be rendered null and void. Any use of the Cruise Credit shall be subject to the rates, cancellation fees, brochure terms and conditions and terms of the passage contract in effect on the date the booking is confirmed by Silversea. If cancellation is made on travel booked using a Cruise Credit, the value of the Cruise Credit will be subject to Silversea’s standard cancellation policy terms. Other terms and conditions may apply.
