Sea cruises in Europe or across the Mediterranean, company: Celebrity Cruises — page 6

We recommend flying in the day before the cruise begins.

• Arrive at the port 2–3 hours before departure.
• When booking an airport–port transfer, allow at least 5 hours between landing and the scheduled sailing.

It is best to start with the airport and only then choose the itinerary. Pick a port you can reach comfortably from Warsaw or Kraków, and match the available cruises to it.

When planning the trip, it is worth allowing for a night before the cruise and another after it ends, because flight times do not always align well with embarkation and disembarkation hours. It is worth reaching the port 2–3 hours before the scheduled departure. If you plan a transfer from the airport to the port, at least 5 hours should remain between landing and departure.

Flights are booked separately from the cruise, so any change of dates needs to be checked in both the cruise and the flight reservations.

Yes, especially from southern Poland. The most convenient direction is Genoa and the neighbouring Ligurian ports.

Families and groups often choose this option to avoid the baggage limits that come with flying.

Terminal parking is paid and booked separately. We can suggest where best to leave the car for the duration of the cruise.

The itinerary decides. If all the ports lie within the Schengen area, an identity card is usually enough for EU citizens. For calls in Tunisia, Türkiye or Egypt, a passport is required.

Your travel document stays with you throughout the cruise — reception does not retain it. For embarkation you will also need the boarding pass issued at online check-in, which is worth having in printed form.

For passengers travelling on non-EU passports we check the requirements individually, as they depend above all on the passport held and the course of the route.

The basic fare covers the cabin and full board. Additional costs most often appear with drinks, shore excursions and speciality restaurants.

The service charge is compulsory and accrues per person per night, children included, at the given operator's rate. It is worth building it into the budget before you book.

A drinks package bought before the cruise is usually cheaper than the same package bought on board. Excursions in the ports can be purchased from the operator or arranged independently.

If you are not tied to the school holidays, it is worth choosing May, June, September or October. The weather is milder then, the ship is calmer, and prices are often lower than at the peak of the season.

Booking earlier gives you a wider choice of cabins and better positions on board. Last-minute offers can be cheaper, but the choice is usually much smaller.

Christmas and New Year dates sell out fastest.

Most often 7 nights. That is the standard length for cruises in both the western and the eastern Mediterranean.

Shorter cruises of 3–4 nights, well suited to a first sailing, are also available, as are longer 10- and 14-day itineraries that take in more ports.

On top of the cruise itself, it is worth allowing a day to fly out before departure and a day to return after leaving the ship.

Prices on the site are shown in zloty, while the contract is concluded in euros or US dollars, in line with the operator's settlement currency.

Payment by transfer can be made in euros or in zloty. The payment link processes payments in zloty only.

We do not offer instalment payments. A booking is made with a deposit, and the remaining amount is payable before the cruise.
