Reception & boarding process

The final reception and departure times have now been determined. Please note that these may differ from the times stated on your confirmation. This may be due, for example, to parade order, port layout or coordination with authorities. The arrival time on your boarding pass is the time you are expected at SAIL Village.

Your ticket gives you access to the SAIL Village. Upon arrival, your ticket will be scanned at the entrance. You can then explore the grounds at your leisure and soak up the atmosphere.

In SAIL Village, boarding times are communicated via screens on the grounds. As soon as it is time to board, you will be expected at the gate. There, a hostess will receive you and escort you to the ship. This way we ensure a smooth and relaxed departure.
