Boat & seating at VELA Cruise
The cruise boat is a two-level boat with a mostly roofed open-air upper deck and an air-conditioned lower deck. In case you want to sit on the specific level, make a special request at the time of booking, and there's a high chance that you will be seated accordingly (it can't be guaranteed, though).
The cruise boat details:
- Capacity: 300 passengers (150 seats on the upper deck and 150 seats on the lower deck)
Note! As this cruise is not very popular, guests report that on the less busy days you might be moved to another cruise of the same company. That cruise ship is a larger three-level boat but starts 45 minutes later.
