  • During the cruise, the restaurant and tables for our group's evening meals are generally assigned in advance, with table numbers allocated by name, depending on the cruise company. Some cruise companies offer open seating. On ships with assigned tables, guests will sit at their designated tables from the first evening meal through to the last.

You can pay for onboard purchases, including drinks, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, using the magnetic cards provided by the ship's reception.

  • Your luggage may not reach your cabin until late in the evening on the ship's first departure day. This is due to the volume of luggage and passengers and is entirely the ship's responsibility. We therefore recommend carrying your essentials for the first day on board in a small hand bag.
  • The ship's departure times must be strictly observed. At each port, you must be on board no later than 60 minutes before departure. Otherwise, you may not be allowed to board. Our agency will not be responsible in such cases.
