  Is it possible to embark/disembark at one of the stopover ports and what would be the price?

Yes, it's possible to embark or disembark at one of the stopover ports, but has to be arranged with the conference organizers ahead of time. The price will be the same as the "full" cruise.

  The number of cabins proposed on the conference website is quite limited, what happens if all the proposed cabins are sold out?

We have booked and prepaid a limited number of rooms, once this batch of rooms is sold out we will try to book additional rooms at the same discounted rate (with no guarantee, June is the peak season), if not possible, we will ask our participants to book their cabins directly from the Cruise website (in the limit of availability). Our prices are lower than those proposed on the Cruise website (for the same dates). Note also that our prices include the "Hotel Service Charge" (10€/day x 7 = 70€), which is not the case for those proposed on the Cruise website.

  My question is not listed here. Whom do I contact?
