Croisière magique au Sri Lanka entre amis
Une croisière magique avec de beaux paysages, nous avons vu baleines, dauphins, tortues... rencontré un peuple sympathique, agréable et toujours souriant. Notre équipage a été extraordinaire ! Toujours au petit soin pour nous, essayant d’anticiper nos besoins. Notre catamaran un peu vieillissant nous a malgré tout emmené à bon port avec un certain confort -surtout grâce à Achan, Vidou et Dilip qui veillaient en permanence à notre bien être- notre cuisinier Dilip nous a régalé. Bref des vacances reposantes tout en profitant d’un cadre dépaysant... que du bonheur !

Une croisière ventée !
Une équipe formaidable de 4 Sri Lankais, très à l'écoute, voulant bien faire, un cuisinier super, ça a été très agréable de les avoir pendant cette croisière. Nous avons eu tout de même beaucoup de vent, parfait pour naviguer mais pour le "sur place", ce n'était pas toujours agréable pour les coeurs sensibles. On est très souvent en pleine mer et nous n'approchions jamais tout près des plages, quand cela était possible car la Navy est très présente. Cela nous a permis de voir un jour des dizaines de dauphins pendant plus d'une demi heure, génial !

Une croisière de rêve dans l'océan indien à l'est du Sri Lanka
Les personnes mécontentes donnent toujours leur avis, Les personnes contentes ne le disent pas très souvent, Alors nous voulions vous faire part de notre enchantement au delà de nos espérances pour cette croisière de 7 jours absolument géniale avec un équipage extraordinaire, professionnel et zen. Nous avions privatiser le bateau pour nos 2 familles ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement en total liberté. Nous avons très très bien mangé et nous sommes allés de surprise en surprise entourés de dauphins avec un diner barbecue sur une plage déserte en pleine nuit. Bref un séjour de rêve dans une eau translucide.. Nous avons eu du mal à partir pour notre périple au Sri Lanka et nous recommandons à tout le monde de vivre cette expérience. Merci à tous Ayubowan
Frequently asked questions
-
How are meals organized on board?
Most cabin cruises include the full board and the services of a hostess / cook. Sometimes, alcoholic beverages are in supplement. Verify the terms and conditions of the offer. If you wish, your advisor will be able to send you a copy of the menu served on board. Generally, meals are prepared based on fresh and local products. We appreciate that you inform us if you are allergic to any food or if you follow a particular diet. -
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 = 25%; 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. -
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. -
How can I arrange my transfer from the airport to the boat?
The transfer can be organized by your GlobeSailor advisor and the of the base by taxi or minibus. Payment for this service is usually made through GlobeSailor or directly on site in cash. Make sure you confirm what time you will be arriving and also your flight details. A taxi or minibus will meet you at the airport and bring you directly to the boat. -
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 currency is used in Sri Lanka?
The local currency in Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan Rupee, which is different to that of the Indian Rupee. Mid 2016, 1 € = around 150 Rs, and 100 Rs = 0.70€.
You can change your money in banks in most of the main towns. Make sure the bank notes are clean and in a good condition. There are plenty of ATMs in Colombo and Kandy, at seaside towns and tourist spots. Make sure to check that they take your debit or credit card as some do not accept Visa for example. However there will of course be a commission added onto each transaction which you make. -
What documents are needed in order to travel to Sri Lanka?
You will need a visa to enter Sri Lanka, which is the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). This tourist visa is normally issued for a maximum period of 30 days. It is possible to obtain one on arrival although we recommend that you get it before you travel, as you will face delays if you arrive without one.
There are many sites online offering the ETA, but often these are fraudulent so we advise that you go through a reputable source such as the Sri Lankan embassy website or the foreign office/department of your country.
