Burgundy & Provence Cruise Review
Burgundy & Provence FAQ
Where will the ship dock?
In many ports, the ship is small enough to dock within easy reach of the town or city centre. Sometimes, the ship will need to dock further away due to water levels or if a port is busy. A coach is provided to transfer guests to their destination.
How do I book optional excursions once onboard the ship?
Optional excursions are booked with your Cruise Manager and cannot be reserved before you arrive on board the ship. Excursions require a minimum number of people, so we cannot guarantee that every tour will go ahead if there are low bookings. Some Masterpiece Collection tours may be booked in advance.
Where can I get weather updates on my cruise?
We provide a daily printed programme with updated weather information and reports that guests can access via the infotainment system aboard each ship.
