As is obvious, sightings cannot be guaranteed, although we can proudly say that sightings occurred on 100% of summer cruises in 2024. We remind you that research cruises with a WWF guide on board are not just whale watching cruises, but are experiences that offer a 360° immersion in the world of cetaceans, even with short theoretical lessons, as well as data collection and monitoring. Participating in a WWF research cruise means actively helping research and contributing to the well-being of the planet.

The atmosphere that reigns on the boat is serene and informal and all people will be involved in the activities on board (such as cooking, keeping the boat tidy,..), in order to preserve the spirit of sharing that characterizes this type of holiday. These activities, which are boring at home, will instead be experienced as pleasant moments of conviviality.

The skipper manages the shopping together with a member of his crew, making sure it is already on board when the guests arrive.

No, all the crew (i.e. skipper, WWF guide and in some cases the sailor) do not participate in the on-board expenses (galley, ports, fuel), which are shared among the travelers on board.

People who board individually share a cabin with a person of the same sex. NB: the quadruple cabin is equipped with 4 single berths, sharing this cabin between people of the same sex only is not guaranteed.

Early bookers... better stays! For families or groups with a predefined number, cabins that are numerically functional (triple, quadruple) will be assigned, obviously based on availability. Therefore, especially for this type of booking, it is advisable to make a good advance order in order to guarantee the most suitable accommodation. In general terms, for individual bookings, the assignment of cabins will take place at boarding. In case of specific needs, it is still possible to make requests in advance, which will then be evaluated (e.g. preferences for castle vs double, physical needs, etc.) and which are usually satisfied, availability permitting.

Yes, price increases vary according to the season and availability. Contact the organizer of the holiday you are interested in to find out more.

In general, as places are very limited in number, children pay the same as adults, especially in high season. However, please contact the experience organiser to check the conditions for the specific holiday you are interested in.

It is possible up to 3 years of age, but it depends a lot on the specific boat and also on the adaptability of the family. The WWF fleet includes boats with both triple and quadruple cabins to accommodate families of any size.

San Felice Circeo can be reached by bus and train from Rome and Naples. For those who choose the train in San Felice al Circeo there is no station. The closest is that of Priverno-Fossanova. Once you arrive you can take a bus.

Alternatively, you can reach the port by car along the Via Pontina from Rome or the A1 motorway with the exit at Frosinone from Naples.

Near the port of San Felice al Circeo it is possible to park your car in free parking lots.

Sheets and towels are not provided on board this boat. For the summer season it is advisable to bring a sheet to cover the mattress, one to cover yourself and the pillowcase, or a sheet bag (the "light cousin" of the sleeping bag) and the pillowcase. For the spring season, a sleeping bag and pillowcase are recommended.

Yes, being the skipper holder of ASD, each participant is required to pay, directly at embarkation, € 15 for the membership fee and to present a medical certificate for non-competitive sporting activity.

It is not allowed to bring equipment such as fishing rods on board. If you wish to bring other types of sports or entertainment equipment, please consult the skipper before departure to check suitability.

10 days before departure , the WWF guide will organize a whatsapp group and subsequently, a pre-departure call in order to get to know the crew and answer logistical-organizational questions.
