On Board the Flora... A Sea of Opportunities Awaits You.
To ensure you have a pleasant day aboard our Flora, the captain will provide a few brief tips to help you avoid any inconveniences.
During the summer months, wearing a swimsuit is recommended, while in spring, a windbreaker might come in handy. Onboard, it's common to go barefoot, so please avoid high heels or similar footwear. Bring all the essentials for a day at sea, such as towels, sunscreen, hats, and additional towels.
Opt for light and dry foods, avoiding heavy or hard-to-digest breakfasts. If you are prone to seasickness, bring suitable patches or medications as advised by your doctor. Use soft bags for packing, as space inside the cabins is limited.
