During The Cruise

The Ship

  • The ship you'll board is a double-decker vessel with a 200-person capacity, offering covered or open-air seating, a bar, AC/heating, and live commentary via loudspeakers.

The Lower Deck

  • The bottom deck features chairs with tables next to the windows and a small bar. The front section also has standalone chairs, but the relatively small windows do not offer the best views.

Drinks and Snacks
