One of the ports in my itinerary states ‘Technical Call'. What is this?

It is important to note that technical calls are not considered as part of the itinerary and are not included in the total number of ports visited. They are simply a necessary stop for the ship to complete necessary tasks before continuing on its journey.

If you have a technical call scheduled in your itinerary, it is important to understand that it will not be a traditional port visit. You will not be able to go ashore and explore the destination during this time. Instead, you will need to remain on board the ship while the necessary tasks are completed.

It is also important to note that the duration of a technical call can vary depending on the specific tasks that need to be completed. Some technical calls may only last a few hours, while others may last an entire day.

In summary, a technical call is a necessary stop for a ship to complete specific tasks, such as taking on fuel or water, or embarking and disembarking participants of a destination experience. While technical calls are not traditional port visits, they are an important part of the cruise experience and help ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers on board.
