What's onboard a Classic boat?
|
Travelling on a sometimes masted, rigged wooden sailing boat (with onboard motor power) with a range of facilities including a dining area and plenty of deck space to enjoy the spectacular views and sea breeze, you'll be in the company of like-minded travellers. Relax as you let the captain and his support crew look after your needs. An onboard cook prepares breakfast and lunch each day, whilst in the evening, we offer you the chance to explore dining options at our numerous ports of call. Dalmatian food is very good indeed!
Classic boats offer mostly twin bunk cabins, though dependent upon the craft, triples and double-bedded cabins are sometimes available. An exclusive feature of the classic boat is that all cabins offer private en suite bathrooms. Additionally classic boats provide towels, plenty of hot water, board games and ample shaded and sun deck space to lounge about! As the cruise does not include guided sightseeing, it is entirely up to you how you enjoy each port of call. Relax or explore? The choice is yours! |
PLEASE NOTE: The Captain reserves the right to change the route due to weather and sea conditions or to ensure the boat stays on schedule. Boats have an onboard motor which they tend to use for the majority of time, rather than the sails.
