Travel organizer tips
Do I need experience to be on a sailing cruise?
Looking to book a cruise but don't have any sailing experience? Hire a professional crew member to take care of sailing maneuvers, moorings and anchoring. Sit back and enjoy the cruise while the captain sets the best itinerary for you.
And if I suffer from seasickness?
Be careful at the start of your holiday: do not spend time inside while the boat moves, go out to look at the panorama, so your body gets used to movement! If this does not work, minimize the effects with: ginger, sea bands or medication (from a doctor!).
