How should I travel with my medication?
It is recommended that you carry medication in its original packaging along with the doctor’s prescription, as this may be requested when clearing customs or immigration. Please keep your medication with you in your hand luggage.
Passengers requiring special medical care are encouraged to inform Star Clippers in writing prior to departure. The crew will be informed and will be able to assist where needed.
What is the dress code?
The dress code for all excursions is casual. In certain countries, or when visiting religious sites, classic, modest clothing may be required. The dress on-board the ship is causal, however, shorts are not accepted in the Dining Room. Gentlemen are requested to wear shirts with collar and sleeves.
How do we get ashore at ports?
When the ship is at anchor, you will be disembarked by tenders or zodiacs, which require good physical condition. Sometimes the disembarkation involves a wet landing. We recommend that you bring appropriate footwear.
Will I get seasick?
The ship is stabilized with anti-roll tanks and bilge keels to minimize the movement of the ship and prevent any unpleasant sensations or discomfort that may be caused by such movement.
Where do I fly into?
The start and finish port for this cruise is in Venice, Italy. Plan to fly into the Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) on or before August 27th, 2022. Embarkation begins at 4 pm. All guests must be on board by 6:30 pm.
