THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE THE CRUISE EMBARKATION/DISEMBARKATION

Plenty of swimwear is required and a pullover or cardigan is recommended for cool evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are suggested when ashore; a beach towel is also required for swimming. It is not necessary to bring such items as cutlery, cups, plates, glasses, etc., as vessels are fully equipped.
