As is obvious, it is not possible to guarantee the sighting, although we can proudly say that the sightings occurred on 100% of the summer cruises of 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.

It depends, sometimes the skipper manages the shopping, making sure it is already on board when the guests arrive. In other cases, however, the shopping is done directly by the guests or by some of them, with the supervision and advice of the skipper or guide, in terms of quantities and types of food suitable for consumption on the boat. This detail will be specified directly in the pre-departure call organized by the WWF guide.

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.

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.

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. Blankets are on board.

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.
