According to the RAE, "embarcar" refers to the process to introduce people, animals or objects to a train, plane or any other conveyance - "Los marinos están listos para embarcar la nave (El barco)"
You can also use "abordar" when you want to say that you are entering to a ship or plane. But the main use of this word is -Get close to somebody to ask a question or start a conversation-. "Mariah abordó a José y le preguntó por qué había llegado tarde a la reunión".
