Can I arrange to park my car at the cruise ship terminal?

Often parking arrangements (and sometimes hotel stays) are included as part of your booking. In this case, we will provide you with the details in good time before you set sail.

In this case, you should see your Planet Cruise Booking Confirmation for details on how to book it and who with. There will be a deadline, normally 35 days prior to arrival, by which you must get this done, so please look for this information carefully.

In other cases, this is not initially included as part of your booking but can be arranged through us as an add-on. For further details, please see below.
