Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the local marine environment by using reef-safe sunscreen and reapplying throughout the cruise.
Pack a quick-dry towel & change of clothes
A compact towel and a dry top for the return will keep you comfortable after swims in cooler water.
Secure sea-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventative measures before boarding — bays are calm but open water can roll a bit.
Arrive early to board smoothly
Departure is from the first gate on the left entering Protaras Pier; arriving 15 minutes early avoids last-minute rush and secures preferred seating.
Snorkel mask (if you prefer your own)
Crew provides masks, but a familiar, well-fitting mask improves comfort and visibility.
