Insider tips

Arrive early at the boarding dock to secure a preferred seat on the upper deck for the best views.

Bring a light jacket, as the sea breeze can become chilly once the ship is under way at night.

Motion sickness medication is recommended if you are prone to seasickness, as the ships move significantly in open water.

What to avoid

Do not wait until the last minute to book during peak tourist seasons, as the ships frequently reach full capacity.

Etiquette

Casual, comfortable attire is standard; non-slip shoes are recommended for walking on moving decks.
