Safe travel
Enjoy the fantastic holiday feeling on board
Your safety is important for us! We have implemented measures for disease control and prevention on board our ships and in our terminals. In addition, we have reduced the number of passengers we allow on board each sailing. You will therefore find our offers and facilities on board to be a little different from what you are used to. However, one thing has not changed; our staff’s commitment to ensuring you a joyful, relaxing, nice and safe holiday experience on board our ships.
