Adventure Tips

Choose Upper Deck Seating

For the best views and fresh air, sit on the open fourth deck, especially during sunset cruises.

Arrive Early for Seating

Arrive at least an hour before departure for boarding and to secure preferred seating, especially for large groups.

Motion Sickness Relief

If prone to motion sickness, spend time in open-air areas to reduce discomfort thanks to the breeze and expanded horizon view.

Consider Dining Options Carefully

For food on board, the luncheon buffet gets high marks, but some other meal options may not meet all tastes—dining ashore is recommended if preferred.
