Embarkation and disembarkation are important parts of your cruise journey. To make the process as smooth as possible, Regent Seven Seas Cruises provides clear guidelines on transfers, timing, and customs procedures. Below are answers to the most common questions to help you plan ahead with confidence.
May I pre-purchase transfers for my disembarkation?
Return transfers must be arranged onboard your Regent Seven Seas cruise with the tour desk and will be billed to your shipboard account.
Back to TopWhen is embarkation and disembarkation?
Embarkation begins between 12pm (noon) and 1pm, though suites are not usually available before 3pm. If sailing from a U.S. port, you must embark at least two hours prior to departure to meet Customs and Border Protection requirements. For other sailings, embarkation must be completed no later than 90 minutes prior to departure.
For disembarkation, plan to vacate your suite shortly after arrival in port. We recommend scheduling flights no sooner than four hours after disembarkation.
Back to TopWill we need to go through customs?
Yes. Upon returning to the United States, all baggage is subject to inspection by U.S. Customs Service. If your voyage begins or ends in a foreign port, local customs officials may also require inspection.
U.S. residents are allowed a duty-free exemption of $800 per person. Guests over the age of 21 may include one liter of liquor and one carton of cigarettes within this exemption.
