The process

From the ship to the tour, step by step

Because the exact disembarkation time may vary, we adjust the tour start to the ship’s actual arrival and clearance. This lets you begin your excursion in a relaxed way from the start.

1

You may leave the ship

As soon as your ship is cleared for disembarkation, make your way calmly to the port exit.

2

We meet you at the agreed meeting point

Behind the turnstile, your guide waits on the street side with the agreed Maratopia sign.

3

Brief group gathering

At the meeting point, we welcome all confirmed guests and wait briefly until the group is complete.

4

The tour starts together

Once everyone has arrived, your excursion begins and we start the day together.

5

Relaxed return to the port

The return is planned around your actual time in port with an appropriate time buffer.
