Camping, on our cruises, is not exactly what one normally envisions. To begin with, the mother ship, will be moored just a few feet off the beach in knee deep water- thereby, becoming an intrinsic, part of the camping set up. All the spacious facilities and modcons, aboard, are easily accesible by means of a ladder off the bow. Equally beneficial to the camping site is the shade provided from the hot mid afternoon sun.
The beach part of the camping facilities includes a huge main pavillion and, decadently spacious, airy, insect proof sleeping tents -- with queen size air matresses, bedside tables, lamps and fans. Lots of beach furniture, beach toys (and, of course hammocks) complete the picture of the " Spartan" camping facilities.
For anyone who might at times feel the urge for an even more pristine camping experience, we will also have a few lightweight camping outfits on hand for an occasional overnight camping trip to a pristine private camping site of one's choosing.
