Port Locations & Boarding Times

Addresses and final boarding times are subject to change. Please use this page to verify your embarkation address and boarding time 24 hours prior to arrival.

IMPORTANT UPDATES

NOTE: Due to fluctuating water levels, the River Princess must sail all day on December 9, 2023, and will not be open for embarkation until the evening. Guests without scheduled airport transfers must instead meet our staff at the Hotel NH in central Nuremberg, for a group transfer to the ship at 4:00 pm. Guests with scheduled Uniworld transfers will be taken to central Nuremberg for this group transfer. Guests who arrive at the hotel prior to 1:00 pm can take a guided walk of the Nuremberg Christmas Markets. The hotel address is: Bahnhofstraße 17-19, 90402 Nürnberg, Germany (click here for map).
NOTE: Due to a dock worker strike that has been unexpectedly extended, the December 9, 2023 embarkation of the River Duchess will take place outside of Brussels in Antwerp, Belgium. The revised port location will be: Antwerp Kattendijkdok West, Kattendijkdok-Westkaai 56, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium (click here for map).

Guests with scheduled Uniworld transfers or on a Uniworld pre-cruise extension will be taken to the ship for embarkation. Guests without scheduled Uniworld transfers have the following options:

  • Make their own way to Antwerp (at their own expense) for embarkation (the all-aboard time is 8:00 pm); or
  • Take one of two complimentary Uniworld-provided group shuttles to the ship from the original port location: Brussels Cruise Terminal 6BB-10BB, Chau. de Vilvorde 117-141, 1120 Brussels, Belgium (click here for map). The shuttles will leave at 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm. Please note we will depart on time at 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm, and we ask all guests meeting us there to arrive in time to board the shuttle.
