What is a Stopover?

Answer:
A stopover is when a cruise ship docks at a planned point of interest,

so that cruise passengers can disembark. Stopovers might be cities that are popular with tourists, islands, national parks, or any other place that can accommodate a cruise ship and that may be interesting for cruise passengers. Stopovers can last anywhere from just a few hours to several days.

When booking a cruise, you should definitely find out where the stopovers are so that you can decide if you will get to see everything that you'd like to. You will need to bring your passport with you if you leave the ship on a stopover outside your own country. It is also important to make sure that you get back to the cruise ship on time so that it doesn't leave without you!
