Booking information | what to pack

Yachts and even mini-cruise ships do not have a large amount of storage space so it is best to travel light. We recommend that you travel with a small soft sports bag with rigid bottom and wheels or a good quality backpack. Hard suitcases with wheels are more difficult to store aboard.
