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.
