Embarkation & Disembarkation times

We would like to make the time until official embarkation or disembarkation as pleasant as possible for our individually arriving and departing guests and create an easy way to drop off your luggage. You can therefore conveniently drop off your luggage directly at the cruise terminal before embarkation in most ports. Please see the table below for the respective time slots for baggage drop-off. The address of the terminal can be found in your travel documents at a later date. We ask for your understanding that, for official reasons, baggage drop-off is not permitted in every port. There are no separate Welcome and Farewell Points. Embarkation will be possible at selected ports at an earlier time than usual. The exact embarkation times can be found in the table below.

Please note that despite a possible earlier embarkation time, the suites/cabins can still only be occupied from 4 pm.

We look forward to welcoming you on board soon and to making your arrival and departure more enjoyable through this procedure.
