Assessments are paid in advance, with the first six months of assessments paid at closing. Half of this is held in reserves, and half is applied to the first quarter of residence. Thereafter, payments for assessments are due at the beginning of each quarter. All financial information once sailing will be handled via your resident APP and available to you 24/7.

Calculation of Annual Assessments
Annual assessments are determined in line with inflation and carefully calculated to accommodate shipboard operational, shoreside operational, and support costs of the vessel. Full insurance costs and emergency reserves have also budgeted to accommodate unforeseen mechanical failures.
Fuel is the largest cost that is out of our control, and although global fuel costs fluctuate, Storylines’ unique slower style of cruising, spending many more days in port, and 12-month, advance fuel purchase contracts all work together to reduce any impact this could have.
Storylines reserves the right to require a special assessment for special circumstances.
Assessment for Single Residents
Annual assessments are based on double occupancy, but priced per person. Single occupants receive an 18% discount off the total double-occupancy assessment.
Assessments when not underway
Assessments are annual fees which are calculated to cover a number of shipboard and shoreside operational costs even when the vessel is not underway.
Premium Services Available Beyond Assessment Inclusivity
Your life aboard the M/V Narrative is all-inclusive; including dining in 20 eateries aboard, room service, beer, wine and house spirits, entertainment, activities, housekeeping, laundry, gratuities, all port fees, plus ship operating costs and maintenance.
Additional premium services are available at an additional cost, such spa and salon services, personal training, medical treatments, and offshore excursions.
