• Upon receipt of your e-ticket, please check the contact information on the embarkation form (attached to the e-ticket).

Embarkation on site – step by step

1. Baggage drop-off

When you arrive at the port, the first thing you need to do is go to the baggage drop-off. There, all luggage (except hand luggage) will be handed over to the service staff.

In your travel documents you will find a baggage tag with your name, the name of the ship, the date, the port of departure and the cabin number. This tag must be attached to the baggage so that MSC staff can assign your suitcase to the correct cabin.

IMPORTANT
It may take a little longer to get back to your luggage. Therefore, you should stow everything you need during the first hours of your stay in your hand luggage.

2. Boarding

Once you have dropped off your baggage, you can proceed to the embarkation area with your personal travel documents. There you will need to present all travel documents such as e-ticket, ship manifest and ID.

3. The security check

Once you have completed the embarkation, you can pass through the security checkpoint. The staff is allowed to search your carry-on baggage for the safety of all guests. Items that are classified as a security risk may also be seized.

4. The safety drill

After the security check, you can go directly to your cabin. But don’t forget about the safety drill. This is an important part of every MSC cruise and is part of the mandatory on-board program. A member of staff will tell you exactly when the safety drill will be carried out or you can find more detailed information in your travel documents.
