Desire Rome Barcelona 2025 Cruise – Rules of the Ship

Note: Desire dress is always much sexier than a regular voyage on this same ship.So that all guests may fully enjoy the Desire Experience, Desire Cruises is committed to providing safe voyages. It is of utmost importance that everyone respects the following guidelines throughout the cruise:

1. For the comfort of all guests, appropriate attire is necessary in all restaurants and other public areas that are not clearly marked as clothing optional.

2. Keeping the identity of our guests private is extremely important to us. For this reason, taking photos or videos in any of our ship’s clothing-optional areas or in the playroom is prohibited. Taking photos is permitted in all other areas, just as long as guests’ privacy is respected.

3.Our playroom has been designed for sexual, erotic pleasure. We encourage all couples to use this couples-only area to fulfill their intimate desires.

4.Please, all guests and staff must be treated with utmost respect. Remember the Golden Rule: NO means NO.

5.Balance is important, some like to rest while others party, after midnight, fellow sailors would appreciate it if noise levels were kept to a minimum in our ship’s corridors.

6.We have created an open-minded ambiance aboard our Desire Cruise; however, drug use will not be tolerated.

7.Neither Desire Cruises nor Oceania Cruises will be held responsible for items left outside of your safety deposit box. Valuable items are better kept in the safe.

8.We are proud to provide a safe, open-minded environment in which every passenger may fully enjoy a sensual vacation at Desire Cruises; however, it is a firm company policy that all staff members, Original affiliates, brand representatives, and any person in a commercial relationship with the resort or Original Group, are strictly forbidden from interacting intimately or drinking with guests, doing so will result in the immediate dismissal and/or termination of their contract with the company.

Desire Rome Barcelona Cruise – Travel Insurance

Yikes, travel insurance is not a fun topic but a lot of you have asked…
This is about what happens if you are paid, packed and ready to go… and there is a problem.

The biggest 2 reasons people take insurance are:

• Trip Cancellation
• Medical Expenses or Medical Evacuation

Full Ship charters are better than regular cruises in many ways, however the penalties and potential for a loss if you have to cancel is higher. Shortly after final payment most full ship charter cruises become non-refundable. That means if you have to cancel your trip not only do you have that disappointment of a cancelled vacation, but I have to tell you you don’t get your money back.

Our most popular insurance is ‘World Wide Trip Protector’ and provides full coverage when purchased up to 21 days after your vacation purchase.

The best value just to make sure you have coverage is ‘Trip Protector Lite Expanded.’

Please consider purchasing Travel Insurance

Since everyone pretty much likes me right now and I’d like it to stay that way, please consider purchasing travel insurance. Or at least don’t say I didn’t warn you if there is a problem.

Other coverages that take the worry out of travel:

• Trip Interruption – Return air only
• Trip Delay & Missed Connection coverage
• Baggage Loss or Delay
• Cancel for Work Reasons Options available on select policies

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your upcoming cruise. There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling. Travel insurance offers coverage for unforeseen problems such as, an unexpected financial change or scheduling conflict, a cancelled flight or a serious illness. You even have the option where you can cancel for any reason. We recommend Travel Insured – Get a quote and buy insurance
