On behalf of His Majesty King Ludwig II of Bayern, Welcome on board the Parsifal.  We hope your stay will be pleasant and comfortable.  

The Parsifal is one of four airships operated by the Koeniglich (Royal) Luftschwansa of Bayern, and is currently assigned to the Oriental Express circuit.

Use of Weapons

While on board the airship, the use of weapons is not authorised.  Passengers are asked to keep any firearms, edged weapons, etc., safely secured in their luggage, in an appropriate case.  Violations will be considered serious offenses, and the perpetrators will be subject to the Captain's Law, as well as being prosecuted to the fullest extent of Bavarian law.
 

As with the use of weapons, we must impose restrictions on the use of Thaumic and Faerie powers.  The Sorcerous Engines which power the ship are sensitive to disruptions in the ley lines.  In addition, their powerful field is
liable to cause unpleasant side effects, such as catastrophic Elemental Manifestations, Etheric infestations, etc.  For these reasons, all uses of Sorcery, Etherealness, Glamour, or Kindred Powers are forbidden except as directed by officers on duty.
 

Tours of the Airship

A full tour of the Parsifal will be conducted during the leg of our trip between Rome and Sofia.  All passengers interested should assemble in the Main (Forward) Dining Room at 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Fridays, where they will be met by an Officer and escorted.

Smoking on board is restricted to our three Smoking Rooms.  

If desired, valuables and jewelry can be handed to the Purser for safekeeping.  

If you need help, be sure to ask your steward to explain the functioning of the various levers, handles and switches for heat, light, ventilation, service bell, fire extinguisher, and hot and cold running water.  All lighting on board is supplied by the power of Electrical Current!  

Anything else our stewards can do for you will be their pleasure.  Don't forget to leave your shoes outside your cabin door at night for polishing.  Maids and valets are available to help those who are traveling with reduced staff.  

Breakfast is served from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, allowing our overnight passengers a glorious view of departure,

The latest edition of various newspapers and magazines is obtained at each stop,  available in the dining rooms, smoking rooms, sitting rooms and libraries.  

Every night at 8:00 PM, the Astounding Markus presents his magic show in the Aft Dining Room.  There is also dancing in the Main Dining Room, nightly from 9:30 PM to midnight.

We hope your stay on board the Parsifal will be memorable.  We thank you for your confidence and invite you to let us know how to make the voyage more pleasant for you.
