• Always follow safety precautions to protect your valuables when traveling and while ashore. Please keep the following tips in mind while off the ship or traveling to or from the vessel.
  • Be vigilant in crowded places where tourists and large crowds gather. Airports, metro stations, open air terraces and lines to enter buildings can be attractive locations for pickpockets who are very skilled using distraction techniques.

  • And remember, never leave your bag unattended and always maintain constant visibility of all bags, backpacks and carry-ons.

Exercising caution, public vigilance, and awareness of surroundings remains of the utmost importance to maintain personal safety.
