I should know but what, if any, real ceremony takes place when new visitors
arrive at ISS. I know there is a greeting and photofest but is there a an
actual ceremony, a tradition?

I believe there is a ship's bell that is rung.

In the days of Mir, salt and bread were given, a traditional Russian
greeting. I wouldn't be surprised if this tradition continued.
