Details to review before reserving
Make a firm group booking at least 48 hours before the crossing; bring the booking confirmation and arrive assembled at Hafen Konstanz (Platz 2) no later than 10 minutes before departure to preserve the boarding guarantee.
The Mitnahmegarantie covers the booked departure but does not guarantee reserved seats; if the desired departure is full the group may travel without the guarantee and without the reduced group fare.
Up to 50 places per crossing are held for groups; plan bookings accordingly and consider alternative departure times if your preferred sailing is already fully booked.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
