Every upcoming call keeps the same hours, 07:00–18:00: plan one day and repeat it.
Usable hours follow the one rule: off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, back at the gangway an hour before that. Overnight calls count the longest daylight stretch. Dates and times from Korea cruise information service (k-cruiseinfo) — official Busan arrival list (as of 2026-10-17); the daily programme has the final word.

About 9 usable hours, back at the gangway by 16:30: the port's full timed day fits, and so does a guided day that returns in time.

Fri, 26 Mar 2027, 07:00–18:00 (11 h in port), at Yeongdo Cruise Terminal (MBY-01). Off the ship from 07:30, back at the gangway by 16:30. Print it or save it before you lose the ship's Wi-Fi.
“Leave by” is the gangway time minus the taxi time quoted above and 15 minutes to find a taxi; on big-ship days ranks run out, so leave earlier rather than later.
Times on this sheet are measured from North Port; Le Soléal is at Yeongdo Cruise Terminal (MBY-01) on this call, so add the ride from there.
Cut to the 26 Mar call. The half hour to get off and the hour before all-aboard are already kept free.
