Before the cruise

Medical care & seasickness
If you need medical care on board, the staff at the infirmary is available for you 24 hours a day in an emergency, in addition to the regular daily opening hours. All doctors and nurses on Princess ships are licensed and registered in the UK. As independent contractors, they are entitled to offer services at customary rates. The cost of these services, as well as other healthcare expenses, will be charged to your onboard account and provided with an itemized cost plan that you can use to bill your health insurance company. Please refer to your personal health insurance policy for details. Please note that the doctors on board are trained in general medicine. Special treatments such as dental interventions are outside the treatment area. This usually involves a referral to a hospital.

Seasickness
Seasickness has become a rarity today thanks to modern ships equipped with stabilizers. Should you nevertheless suffer from nausea, please contact reception or the onboard doctor.
Barrier-free travels
Princess Cruises also makes traveling as easy as possible for passengers with special needs.Already upon booking, ask for a barrier-free cabin. Wheelchairs must be accommodated in the cabin for safety reasons. If you have problems standing for a long time, we provide wheelchairs for embarkation and disembarkation. On board we recommend bringing your own wheelchair as they are only available for emergencies. Guests with disabilities should travel with a companion who can provide assistance. Princess Cruises employees are not authorized to do so for legal reasons. Please note that some tender ports and excursions as well as some ports of call and piers are not designed for wheelchair users, or that the tender service with wheelchairs may be refused for safety reasons.
Check-In
After specifying your credit card details in the online onboard manifest, Express Check-In can be used in most ports. As a rule, check-in lasting several hours (as of 12:00 at the earliest) is possible in order to avoid waiting times between flight arrival and embarkation. Please arrive at least two hours before departure at check-in.
Entry
German, Austrian and Swiss citizens need a machine-readable passport at the start of the cruise, which is valid until at least 6 months more after the end of the journey. Please note that this applies to all cruises of Princess Cruises (the ID card is also not sufficient within the EU). Children also need their own passport. Please note that you must meet all entry requirements for all ports of call on a journey. Each guest is responsible for compliance with the entry requirements of all ports. Please inform yourself at the respective consulate.
Hand luggage - valuables
Please be sure to carry all travel documents, passports, important medicines, valuables, jewelery and fragile items, electronic devices and cameras, etc. in your hand luggage and keep them in your cabin safe during the cruise.

The shore excursions can be viewed in the Cruise Personalizer as of 100 days before the start of the cruise. Shore excursions must be paid for online by credit card within 24 hours. Most excursions can be canceled or rebooked free of charge up to 2 days before the start of the excursion. Offsetting or reimbursement is possible up to 5 days before the start of the excursion. As of 5 days, the excursion price will be credited as onboard credit.
