If all cabins are occupied by guests, the skipper - and any crew members, if applicable - sleep in the dinette.

Double cabins are usually assigned to those traveling as a couple, while those booking individually share a cabin with another traveler of the same gender. Spots are assigned in order of booking, except in special cases.

Yes, it is possible to reserve a single cabin, but in this case the price is equal to that of two shares.

The provisions will be purchased by the participants immediately after boarding.

The skipper helps out, but meal preparation is a shared activity among all participants in the experience.
