A few sea-day reminders

Vialo doesn't schedule your sea days — the ship's app is the source of truth. A few gentle notes, if helpful:

  • ·Book Polo Grill or Toscana 48h ahead — both fill by embarkation night.
  • ·Spa morning: thermal suite is quietest before 10:00.
  • ·Afternoon enrichment lecture in the Marina Lounge — check daily program.

Your sailing, planned like this.

Tell Vialo your ship and sail date, and you'll get port-day plans that respect every all-aboard — not generic city tours.
