In Europe, can you disembark early?

We are thinking of booking a cruise and wanted to possibly not get back on last day and get off in Amsterdam,  I know you can't do in us.

MSC generally has folks disembarking and embarking at most European ports.   You need to make a specific inquiry to MSC.  Just be aware that if you debark a cruise early you will not generally get a price reduction.

We boarded an MSC cruise in Kiel, Germany and disembarked at Tallinn, Estonia a couple days before the ship returned to Kiel. We informed the Reception desk and they made us sign a waiver form acknowledging that we were ending the cruise early and that there would be no price reduction for the missed days. You shouldn't have any problem as long as where you embark and where you disembark are both in the EU.

It is not about EU but about Schengen, but in this case, yes, no problem. Just that no MSC cruise stops at Amsterdam as far as I know after MSC said that they don´t want to do business with these racketeers from Amsterdam port authority any more 🙂

MSC seems to be sailing from/visiting Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam.  EM

In short, yes. My friend did that on our recent Fjord cruise, leaving in Flaam. Just email MSC (wait about a month for a reply), then see Guest Services when you board. You'll need to sign an early disembarkation form, clear your account before leaving and be off the ship about half hour before all aboard time.
