Hello! Our cruises are always dependent on the sea and weather conditions. Our staff constantly monitor the weather and respond professionally to any changes. Passenger comfort and safety is always our utmost priority, this may mean a tour is cancelled at any stage if we feel it necessary. If it is our decision to cancel a cruise, either a full refund or transfer to another cruise will be offered. If you are susceptible to motion sickness, we suggest visiting the chemist and purchasing sea sick aid to take prior to your cruise. Once on board chat with our crew where the best place on the boat is to be, as certain spots do move less than others. We also have a few tricks up our sleeves to help with motion sickness – so don’t be shy to mention to our crew if you do feel a little under the weather. Feel free to email us if you have any more questions. I hope this helps. Warm regards, Julia
