The letter will have to be accompanied by a copy of the valid identity documents of both parents, and in the case of non-EU minors also the residence permit in which the child is also present.

Minor passengers over the age of 14 years may travel unaccompanied, but they will have to hand over a letter of release to the Chief Purser or to the Captain in which the parents/legal guardians declare that they assume full responsibility for any personal injury or damage caused to third parties.

In any case the Captain and the members of the crew will not take the minor passenger into custody and consequently the responsibility for what has been done by the minor on board the ship.

It is understood that the passenger will have to travel with all the necessary documentation to enter the country of destination. In case of denial of disembarkation due to lack of required documentation, the Company does not assume any responsibility.
