Traveling from Ship to Shore
Occasionally, port facilities, congestion and weather make it impossible to berth our ships at a particular port of call, at which point our ship will be anchored offshore and small boats (tenders) are used to travel back and forth. Celebrity will make every attempt to accommodate each guest at every port. However, at some tendered ports, guests may find some difficulty in transferring from the ship to the tender. The safety of our guests and crew is always foremost in our mind and the decision to tender any guest is made by Celebrity in each case. Tender status of all ports is subject to change without notice. Celebrity has begun the installation of lifts that will make the tendering process for guests with mobility impairments smooth and stress-free. Please check with us for specific vessel information.
