Legal information / NZ
Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of Voyagepa Thguide at voyagepathguide.com. Voyagepa Thguide is an independent English-language New Zealand cruise review, cabin guide, and maritime travel portal.
Our articles cover cruise reviews, cabin guidance, ship infrastructure, onboard lifestyle, dining, recreation, ports and itineraries. They are provided to support practical research, not as a cruise operator, booking agency, or travel-arrangement service.
A plain-language use snapshot
Before the detailed clauses, these are the practical rules that matter most when using this site.
Information, not travel arrangements
Our guides and comparisons can help you research cruise experiences, but they are not a booking, reservation, operator, or travel-agency service. Confirm current availability, itineraries, vessel arrangements, prices and requirements directly with cruise lines, ports, insurers and other official providers before acting. Those details can change outside our control, including after an article is published.
Use the site fairly and lawfully
You may read the site, save material for personal research and share direct links in a fair, non-commercial way. Do not use the site for unlawful activity, introduce harmful code, impersonate another person, interfere with access, evade security controls, or systematically extract material where permission has not been given. Please use the portal in a way that leaves it useful and accessible for other visitors.
Check important decisions independently
18+You remain responsible for decisions involving travel, health, accessibility, money, insurance, visas, local rules and casino participation. Check current official information before travel. Casino-related material concerns responsible adults-only gaming in international waters; it is not a promise that facilities will be available and is not an invitation to gamble.
Practical guidance should support personal limits and informed decisions, never replace them.
Agreement to terms
Using the site means you accept these terms.
By accessing or using Voyagepa Thguide through voyagepathguide.com, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. They apply to the content, features and links made available through this domain. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site. Additional notices or policies may apply where they are presented on the site; those notices should be read alongside these terms where relevant.
Permitted use and content boundaries
Personal research use
You may access publicly available material on Voyagepa Thguide for personal, lawful and non-commercial cruise research. You may save reasonable extracts for your own reference and share direct links with appropriate attribution. Your access remains subject to these terms and applicable law. This permission does not transfer ownership of any material or grant a right to reuse content beyond what law permits.
You may: use our guides as one source while comparing cruise information independently.
Prohibited conduct
Please do not use the site in ways that compromise others, the material, or the service. In particular, you must not:
- Use the site for unlawful, deceptive or harmful activity.
- Upload or transmit harmful code, malware or disruptive material.
- Interfere with the site, its availability, or another visitor's use.
- Copy or extract material through unauthorised automated scraping or systematic reproduction.
- Misrepresent your identity or attempt to bypass access or security controls.
No professional or transactional advice
Material about cabins, deck layouts, dining, recreation, casinos, ports and itineraries is general information only. It is not personalised travel, legal, medical, financial, insurance, immigration, accessibility, safety or gambling advice. Cruise conditions, port access, health requirements and ship facilities may change. Seek qualified or official guidance where your circumstances require tailored advice.
Information accuracy, cruise content, and 18+ casino material
Changing travel and ship information
Reviews, cabin guidance, deck layouts, dining descriptions, recreational facilities, port information and itineraries are provided for general guidance. They may become outdated or differ by vessel, sailing, season, operator, weather, regulation or operational decision. This applies across ocean cruising and journeys in the South Pacific, Trans-Tasman and Sub-Antarctic regions. Confirm material details with the relevant cruise line, port authority or official provider. We do not guarantee that information will be complete, suitable for your circumstances, uninterrupted or current at every moment.
Responsible 18+ casino information
Casino material on Voyagepa Thguide concerns responsible adults-only gaming in international waters. It is informational only: it does not encourage gambling and does not guarantee that casino facilities, games, rules or access will be available on a particular sailing. You must comply with applicable laws, cruise-line rules, age requirements and your own personal limits. Gambling should never be treated as a source of income. If gambling is causing harm or concern for you or someone else, seek appropriate local support and consider stepping away from gambling activity.
What to check before acting
- Current cruise-line information on cabin allocation and accessibility arrangements.
- Dining arrangements, onboard facilities and age rules for your sailing.
- Sailing changes, onboard terms and any operator-specific conditions.
- Official port, entry, health and travel requirements relevant to your route.
- Insurance cover and exclusions that apply to your own circumstances.
- Your personal budget, needs and limits before making any decision.
Ownership, external links, and third-party services
Intellectual property
Site text, original editorial materials, design, organisation and other content on Voyagepa Thguide are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. Except where law permits or we have given permission, you may not reproduce, adapt, distribute or commercially exploit those materials. The personal-use and direct-link sharing permission described above remains available. We do not claim ownership of third-party trademarks, operator names or materials that may be referred to for identification or research.
Third-party decisions
Use third-party services at your own discretion. Websites, services, products, bookings, promotions and communications offered outside this site are governed by the relevant third party's terms. Voyagepa Thguide does not process bookings or payments. Review official conditions carefully before making arrangements or sharing information with another provider.
Disclaimers, liability, and service changes
Information provided as available
We aim to make the portal useful, readable and practical, but information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that site content will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, secure or suitable for a particular purpose. Plainly put, a guide may be helpful for research without matching every vessel, sailing, traveller or later operational change.
Limits on liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Voyagepa Thguide is not liable for loss arising from reliance on site information, travel or gambling decisions, third-party websites, service interruptions or use of the site. This includes situations where information later changes or where a third party makes a decision different from what a reader expected. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
This clause operates only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Changes, suspension, or withdrawal
We may update, correct, remove, suspend or discontinue site content or features where reasonably necessary. We do not promise advance notice for every change. We may also update these Terms and Conditions. The effective date identifies the current version, so please review the terms periodically if you continue to use the site after changes are published.
Governing law and terms questions
Governing law and severability
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of New Zealand. If a provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be applied only to the extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
This does not create a separate dispute procedure or alter rights that cannot lawfully be changed by these terms. It simply identifies the legal context for use of this New Zealand-focused information portal.
