Several different advance purchase plans are available on board at lower rates, to accommodate individual needs.

Full laundry, dry cleaning (on selected ships wet-cleaning) and pressing services are available on board and will be billed to your onboard account. Complimentary self-service launderette with washers, dryers, laundry soap and ironing facilities are available on board too.
