Going Ashore
Make the most of your time ashore by planning ahead. Know how long your ship will be in port and plan your activities accordingly. Your cruise itinerary will provide that information. You can also check the port time of every cruise ship in Alaska by visiting the following site. Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska
Familiarize yourself with the security requirements for getting off the ship as well as re-boarding the ship. Passengers are required to have their cruise ID cards for disembarking and embarking. (Note: Passengers with U.S. Passports will be required to have their passports with them in Canadian ports. Non-US passengers will be required to have their passports with them at all times.) Refer to the printed information distributed by your ship regarding items that are prohibited from being taken ashore as well as those items that are not allowed to be brought onto the ship. All parcels and items must pass through security scanners when re-boarding the ship.
Cruise ships wait for no one! Each passenger is responsible for boarding the ship before the published departure time for every port, so pay attention to the time. If a passenger’s return to the ship is delayed because of an excursion booked through the ship, the ship will wait. However, passengers who book their own excursions or are involved in other activities while in port cannot expect the ship to remain in port beyond the published departure time.
