Ship visitors

Stella Maris has a team of ship visitors that tries to visit as many newly arrived ships as possible and on a daily basis.

During a visit we provide all kinds of usefull information. About our free bus service, about Ghent and its ‘places to be’. We hand out news bulletins from your country and we are available for a conversation and more personal questions.

In our van we have some free things like safety shoes, bibles, prayer books etc. During fall and winter we always have some bonnets (and scarves) to give.

We always carry a stock of telephone cards (Lyca). These cards are also available at the bar in the evening time.

You can always request for a ship visit or pose questions by e-mail at stellamarisgent@proximus.be.
Or contact us on our facebook page or by phone.+32 476 50 22 29 (during ship visiting hours or opening hours of the bar.
