to your ship. Here you unload your luggage, which will be stored on board until
the cabins are ready for occupancy at 11:30 am. Our service team will guide you

representatives and guides will welcome you aboard with a drink, and you will
meet the crew and your fellow passengers. “Cast off!” – we head towards the
