Book a cruise only - and make your own way to the ship and home
Prefer to make your own travel arrangements? No worries.
- Make a cruise only booking either online, or by calling our Reservations department or speaking to your preferred travel agent.
- Then make your own travel arrangements to Balmoral.
- Your airline or Travel Agent will provide all of the details with regards your flight, how to check-in etc.
- We'll be in touch closer to departure with all of the information you need to know about embarkation day.
Please be aware - check-in is currently scheduled to close at 4pm on embarkation day. We'd advise flying the day before and staying locally in a hotel, as the ship will not wait in the event of flight delays or cancellations.
