How long will we be docked in each port of call?
Your cruise itinerary – What to expect
- We’re excited to welcome you on board! To help you plan your days ashore, here’s a quick guide to how we display port timings on your cruise itinerary.
Where to find your itinerary
- You’ll find full details of your itinerary on the relevant cruise page, including approximate arrival and departure times for each port of call.
Why times are approximate
- Port timings can vary depending on local conditions and operational needs. That’s why we show time periods rather than exact times — giving you a general idea of when you’ll arrive or depart.
Here’s a handy guide to what those time periods mean:
Arrival/Departure Time Periods
| Period | Time Range |
|---|---|
| Early Morning | 06:00 – 10:00 |
| Late Morning | 10:01 – 12:00 |
| Early Afternoon | 12:01 – 15:00 |
| Late Afternoon | 15:01 – 18:00 |
| Early Evening | 18:01 – 20:00 |
| Late Evening | 20:01 – 23:00 |
| Late Night | 23:01 – 05:59 |
Please note: These timings are subject to change as your cruise progresses, so we recommend checking your itinerary regularly for updates.
