Women who will be less than 24 weeks into their pregnancy on the day of departure and for the
duration of the cruise, may sail. This policy is due to the risk of premature labor. Pregnant women must
have a letter from their doctor (on the physician’s letterhead) stating how far along (in weeks) their
pregnancy will be at the beginning of the cruise, that mother and baby are in good health and fit to
travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk.
