• What documents are needed to travel to Thailand?

  Before departing for Thailand you must ensure that you have a passport which is valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into the country. It should also be in a good condition with no missing pages, as this can often lead to entry being refused.
  For stays of less than 30 days a visa is not required. However if you intend to stay longer than this then it is essential to obtain a visa. From October 2016 it is necessary to sign up online before you go to an embassy. You will need to present a certain number of documents and pay 30 € in cash.
  Also it is very important to check with your embassy and foreign office advice regarding entry requirements and current travel advice before you depart.

• Is everyone on board English-speaking?

  Please note that this cruise is not exclusive to English travelers. It is quite common to meet people of various nationalities on board as we offer cruises to international clientele - encouraging curious and enriching exchanges for both passengers and crew.
  Crew members are multilingual and qualified to offer multilingual service.

• Is there a minimum age required to embark on this cruise?

  For comfort and safety reasons, the minimum age required to embark on this cruise is 6 years old. We also recommend that children know how to swim or are familiar with water. If your children are younger, our team is at your disposal to help you find a more suitable cruise

• How can I arrange my transfer from the airport to the boat?

  After you have made your booking the base manager will contact you to give you more information on your cruise. Make sure you confirm what time you will be arriving and also your flight details. A taxi or minibus can meet you at the airport and bring you directly to the boat at an extra cost.

• What does a skipper do? And what about a hostess?

  All the skippers which we offer are qualified, have the necessary professional licenses and speak fluent English. If you have any particular demands regarding a skipper make sure to let us know.
  The skipper is in charge of navigation and your safety on board. Feel free to try out some of the manoeuvres with him; he will be happy to teach you the basics of sailing.
  Regarding sleeping arrangements, the skipper will sleep on board, either in a cabin or in the common area (saloon).
  The skipper is not in charge of cooking or washing up. A hostess (or cook) will prepare your meals, clean the saloon area and the cabins and make sure the boat is kept tidy.

• Does the boat operate only with the sails?

  It depends on the weather. When the winds are strong, the skipper will use the sails to sail silently. On days with calmer winds or to reach the stopovers on schedule, the skipper may need to use the engine. The engine is also used when entering and leaving the marinas. We cannot guarantee a minimum time of using the sails. The skipper will do their best to use the sails as much as possible and involve passengers in manoeuvres.

• Are the menus adapted to special dietary requirements?

  We strive to offer the best possible services on our cruises and providing special dietary options are part of this. Please inform your charter advisor of any dietary restrictions or requirements well in advance of the cruise, so that the crew may be informed and make the necessary adaptations to the menus provided.
  Please note that the preparation of adapted menus adds a certain level of complexity for our hostesses/cooks, who will prepare meals for 12 guests on board. Sourcing good quality substitute products also incurs additional costs. It is therefore necessary for us to charge a supplement, in order to guarantee that all our guests on board receive the same level of quality service.

• Can I bring alcohol on board?

  No passengers are allowed to bring bottles of alcohol on board.

• What currency is used in Thailand?

  The currency in Thailand is the Baht. The current exchange rate in 2024 is around 1 € = 40 Bts.
  It is easy to change your money in either a bureaux de change or the banks when you arrive in Thailand. Be sure to compare several providers and rates before making a transaction because the rates can vary greatly. The rates in Bangkok airport can be quite unfavourable.
  International credit and debit cards are accepted at most of the ATMs, however you will of course pay a commission charge of 150-200 Bts as well as your banks fees for each transaction.

• What payments must I make in order to confirm my booking?

  To confirm your booking you should inform your GlobeSailor advisor who will put an option (hold) on the cabin for a certain time until we receive your down payment.
  The booking will only be considered final once we have received your down payment (by bank transfer, Paypal or credit card) which is 50% of the total amount. A 100% down payment is required for any booking made less than one month before departure.
  The balance should be paid no later than one month before boarding, either to the base or to GlobeSailor. Mandatory extras and options will be payable locally. Be sure to check with your advisor or the base prior to departure.

• What happens if I need to cancel my cruise?

  If you wish to make a cancellation, you should contact your GlobeSailor advisor as soon as possible. Whatever the circumstances, you will be charged the following cancellation fees, depending on when the cancellation is made: up to 90 days before departure = 30%; 89 to 60 days before departure = 50%; 59 to 30 days before departure = 75%; 29 days or less before departure = 100% of the total cost of your booking. We recommend that you sign up for cancellation insurance with your personal insurance provider.
