Can I disembark the ship during my cruise and join the ship again at a later port?

We will always assist Guests who need to disembark the ship in the event of an emergency on board or at home.  Disembarking the ship during a cruise and rejoining at a later port for other reasons can cause difficult immigration issues and is not encouraged.  If you need to leave the ship and then re-embark at a different port on the itinerary, please make sure that you notify us as soon as possible. Relevant authorities will need to be advised and their authorisation will be needed in advance. We will do our best to support you, but timings for non-emergency immigration authorisations may be beyond Ambassador’s control. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct documentation in place for the ports you wish to disembark/re-embark the ship. This includes but is not limited to; local testing requirements, passenger locator forms, travel insurance and applicable visas. Ambassador Cruise Line will not be held responsible for any associated costs that you may encounter, in the absence of the necessary documentation. Should we receive any charges from local authorities, these will be passed on to the guest.


If your absence relates to something urgent that was unforeseeable before the departure of the vessel, please inform the ships’ Reception team as soon as possible.


You should contact the Always Here Emergency Support Team on 01708 973 601, before you are due to travel to re-embark, to confirm the ship’s current location and estimated timings for the re-embarkation port of your choice.
