Items to bring
Space on board the ship is limited. Do not bring unnecessary items. The ship is not built for storing suitcases, therefore pack a sea bag or an ordinary bag. You will have storing space for your personal belongings in a chest and a locker, which you share with another person.
Dirty clothes must be washed by hand.
At sea the weather might change fast, and you will take part in the daily work on board. Therefore it is important to be well prepared on beforehand.
Suggested items to bring along:
- sleeping bag + sheet and pillow case.

You are responsible for your personal belongings, so it would be worth while labeling the items with your name. If you wear glasses have an elastic strap for them. Lost eyeglasses can ruin a trip for the owner.
