Frequently asked questions:
Is this activity recommended for families?
Can I book two or more different excursions in one day?
Furthermore, if you book the Morning trip and both Afternoon trips we will invite you to lunch on board with the crew (keeping the Covid-19 safety measures).
What do I need to bring with me?
Also, to avoid damaging the joints of the ship’s wooden deck, shoes with heels of thinner than 4 centimetres are not allowed on board. For comfort, we recommend that you wear sports shoes.
What happens if I'm late?
We’re sorry, but we need to keep the schedule out of respect for the other people on board.
Boarding starts 5 to 10 minutes before departure, please be on time.
What if the excrusion is cancelled due to bad weather?
If we don’t get in touch, that means that the excursion is still going on. Atyla is a sturdy seagoing vessel, and the weather has to look quite bad for us to cancel. If it’s just a bit cold or a bit rainy, get a nice jacket or a raincoat and show up, it’s going to be a fun adventure.
