How do I contact friends or family on board?

Via mobile phone

As mobile phone service is available on board our ships, the easiest and possibly fastest route will be to send an SMS text or call the guest's usual mobile phone number. When ships approach port and land-based mobile phone service again becomes available, the ship’s service is switched off. Most mobile phone providers have agreements with the ship’s service provider – Telenor. Costs are usually higher than for making an International call to or from a mobile phone. Further details are available via 'Can I use my mobile phone whilst on board?'.

Via email

Guests on board can access their own personal email account connecting to the internet while on board, using either their own mobile device/tablet/laptop via wifi or using a computer in the ships' Internet Centre. There are charges for internet usage and these are the same whether using wifi or a ships' computer in the library.

If you do not have a personal email address and want friends and family back home to be able to contact you, you can give them one of the below email addresses and we will pass the message on to you. A small charge (approximately $1.50) will be applied to the on board account.

The email needs to include your name and stateroom number within the subject line of the email.

Via ship's satellite telephone

Callers are connected to the Purser's Desk and calls may be received any time whether the ship is in port or at sea, as long as there is a satellite connection. Please be aware that it may take some time to locate the guest and bring them to a phone. If guests are not in their stateroom, a message will be taken and delivered to their stateroom.
