My husband and I will be on the Serenade of the Seas the first week in July and have booked a private tour in St. Petersburg. Our guide has said that it can take an hour to process customs. The ship arrives at 7 and we meet our guide at 8. Any suggestions on what time to get in line to disembark? Thanks!

We are on this same cruise the week before you (leaving June 24th). Friend me here and I'd be happy to send you a note on our experience.

Perfect. Thanks for all the great information. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to our cruise!

We've got a two hour layover in Frankfurt before flying on to Stockholm. Good to know about the customs entry as soon as we arrive in Schengen.

Cruzgryphon,

Thanks for the quick response! Exactly what I was looking for. Yes - the 5:00 pm Stockhom "embarkation" was a typo and should have read "departure." We're connecting through Germany from the US (brief layover), but I assume we'll still have to run our bags through customs in Stockholm. Sounds like we should be good to head straight to the cruise port from the airport and will hopefully be able to board shortly thereafter. Again - very much appreciated!

We are booked on RCC's Serenade of the Seas next summer with a 5:00 pm Stockholm embarkation. We fly into Stockholm at 9:10 am and are trying to figure out how early we'll be able to board. Any insights you can provide would be appreciated!
