Check the live trip before booking
Schedules and prices can change by season, sailing date and port conditions. Compare the actual departure and arrival harbors, estimated journey time, transfer inclusions and current seat availability. A highly ranked operator is only useful when its live sailing matches your itinerary.
Arrive within the check-in window shown on the ticket, keep identification and booking details available, and allow extra time for harbor queues. If weather or port instructions affect a sailing, follow the operator's current check-in guidance.
