Before You Go

You should wear comfortable clothing and bring layers.

If providing your own, good waterproofs are essential – they should be windproof and full cover (e.g. jacket and trousers). Ski gear or good quality walking gear is usually suitable.

Footwear must be non-slip and non-marking (e.g. not black soled). Soft white soled trainers or deck shoes are ideal. Flip flops are not suitable for wear on deck but can be useful for moving about in the cabin.

Space on board is limited - so remember to pack light!

If you think you may suffer from sea sickness please bring along anti sea sickness pills. These are available over the counter from pharmacies, do ask the pharmacist for advice.
