Frequently asked questions

• Can I book my international flights in addition to my cruise and land stay?

  YES!
  Our travel agency offers all our customers the option to book their flights, so you no longer have to worry about a thing!

• What documents are required for a trip to the Seychelles?

  For your trip to the Seychelles, you must have a valid passport that remains valid for 6 months after your return date.
  
  Before boarding, you must apply online for a “travel authorisation” (paid formality - approximately €10, available 10 days before departure). To obtain this travel authorisation, you must provide a valid passport, a hotel booking or proof of accommodation for the duration of your stay, a return or onward travel ticket, as well as sufficient funds to cover the cost of your stay. The authorisation allows you to obtain, upon arrival, a short-stay visa issued by the airport police, which can be extended for up to three months. For stays longer than three months, a residence permit must be requested (paid formality) from the immigration authorities.

• Does the boat sail only under sail?

  The catamarans and sailboats offered on our cruises sail slowly in light winds, particularly in summer when the wind is too weak or the sailing angle is not optimal. Using the engine may sometimes be necessary to keep to the planned itinerary and to ensure a berth in port or a suitable anchorage for the night. We cannot guarantee a minimum amount of time sailing under sail. Nevertheless, your skipper will do their utmost to sail whenever possible and involve anyone who wishes to take part in the manoeuvres.
