FAQs

What should I pack for my cruise?

Beyond your favorite vacation attire, we recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. For your comfort and safety, please pack low-heeled shoes with soft soles or secure sandals to prevent slipping on the deck or near the pool. It is also advisable to bring basic medications, such as insect repellent and anti-motion sickness medicine.

What travel documents are mandatory for boarding?

To comply with local maritime regulations, all guests must provide a valid Passport or ID card. For families traveling with children, a Birth Certificate or a Passport with an identification code is required. Please ensure these copies are sent to us at least 3 days before departure to facilitate the mandatory declaration.

Will there be Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity at sea?

While we provide Wi-Fi on board, please note that the unique landscape of enclosed seas and limestone mountains can cause signals to be weak or intermittent. Some areas in the bay may experience a total loss of signal, offering a perfect opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty
