TOUR PROGRAM VARIATIONS
Due to organizational reasons, weather conditions or provisions issued by local authorities, the itinerary may be subject to some changes before and/or during the holiday. The captain and the guide reserve the right to make alterations to the itinerary, depending on wind, sea and weather conditions or organizational requirements. This is not a sailing trip. The ship is a motor vessel, it has sails but the navigation is powered by engines. During the tour the boat will be docked in a harbor during 6 nights, while on one night it will anchor in roadstead. The roadstead is a sheltered anchorage in a bay, which is an enclosed area with an opening to the sea. Natural roadsteads offer shelter from storms, winds and currents. In exceptional cases (bad meteorological and/or sea conditions), for safety reasons, the ship might have to return to the harbor also during the night that is scheduled in roadstead. Only and exclusively in this case, the clients will be asked to pay a supplement for the overnight in the harbor. This amount, variable from port to port, will be divided among all participants and will be paid directly on site (approximately 20-50 € per person per night, subject to changes).
