My experiences with ATW segments is that a booking segment-by-segment is required. A defined disembarkation port has the necessary Customs and Immigration support. However, I have inquired about “getting off the ship early”, and was told that it may be possible if arrangements shoreside could be arranged, but that I still must purchase the entire segment. Perhaps speak to your cruise line about the possibility. Good luck with your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to check with the cruise line directly, but if they did accept your request, I doubt any of them will give you a pro-rated price for the number of days onboard, as it would be almost impossible for them to sell the remaining days. You can inquire about disembarking a few days early, as the cruise line needs to check local laws, especially Cabotage Laws, availability of immigration staff, Visa requirements, etc. Yes, you can disembark anytime, but without getting prior approval, you have the potential for being assessed significant fines, fees and other charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciasoonatsea Posted October 14, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Thanks for the input. I've gotten off boats a day or two before it's completion...and yes I paid the full fare just the same, but wondered about how the world cruises/segmented worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
