Using your mobile phone on the ship
  1. While you're enjoying your cruise and out of range of regular mobile networks, you can stay connected via our satellite-based roaming network. This will likely be very costly.

Alert**For calls directly to our ships, please note : You will need to provide payment card details to connect to the ship you are contacting. Upon successful connection to the ship, the satellite service provider will place a fully-refundable $79.50 pre-authorisation charge on your payment card.

The time it takes for your refund to appear in your account depends on your bank, however they usually appear within 1-5 business days.
