What do you need to bring on the day of sailing?

Before you leave for the port, please ensure you have printed your e-boarding card which will have been emailed to you. If you do not have this, then please arrive with your booking reference number which will have been detailed on your confirmation email. Please leave plenty of time to collect your e-boarding card and get onboard the ship. Please ensure all baggage is correctly labelled with your destination. You can find labels at check-in.
