Crew members such as Mauro, Julio, Yuri, and Pietro are often praised for their warm, capable hosting.

“We had an incredible trip out to La Maddalena. The islands are something you cannot imagine and look and feel just like the pictures. Recommended you bring some sandals to get around because the paths can be rocky. Guides and admin check in team were so accomodating, they waited for everyone to arrived and even called the couple who didn’t turn up to check they were okay. Recommended that you leave 30 min more than you expect to get to the dock if you are coming from 60 min away. We were running a bit late.”

A multilingual audio guide and onboard Sardinian food service are available.

“Hicimos la actividad teniendo en cuenta que pasaria por Tahiti. No obstante el tiempo no era el adecuado por el viento (comprensible). Creo que no estaria de mas, que cuando llegas a la madalena, te digas que cosas ver en esa hora i poco que estas ahi, porque te dejan ahi, i tu mismo espavilate, y hubieramos aprovechado mas el tiempo con alguna indicacion. No solo depender de si escuchas o no el audioguia, que eso es muy positivo, informacion sobre cada punto de 1 minutito, facil y al pie. muy bien. Lo que no me gustó tanto es que realmente hay bastante gente en el barco y son varios…”
