On disembarkation day, suites must be vacated two hours after the scheduled arrival time, unless otherwise approved by the Hotel Manager. Guests making their own air arrangements should allow 3 to 4 hours for transfer time to the airport once customs and immigration clearance has been completed.

For safety reasons, guests in wheelchairs cannot be carried up staircases or gangways, nor on launches when the ship is at anchor. Upon notification by a guest with a disability, Seabourn Reservations can assist in providing any relevant information pertaining to accessibility on board the vessels.
