Our Mediterranean small ships are equipped with six electronic bicycles (e-bikes) and two manual bicycles, which you can use for independent exploration.

Feel the sea breeze as you relax with your fellow travelers, a book or a drink in hand. Weather permitting, you may also enjoy a meal and a cocktail at the outdoor bar & grill.
