Dear Emma Campbell, You can find a cruise that has an elevator (Ambassador, Grand Pioneers, Capella, Indochine...) for more convenience in moving and do some easy activities such as bamboo boating, beach relaxing. Besides, the cruise's staff can also help if needed. Best regards, Cindy
Hello, we're thinking of doing the two day cruise, but it seems we don't stay on the boat but we're offloaded to a day boat. Is the day boat one we can lounge on or is it only transportation to the activity? I'm more of a enjoy the scenery, spa type so I was thinking I could just relax if I didn't want to participate in an excursion. Please advise if the one day cruise would be better or all excursions are active. Thank you.
Dear Sandra Nagasawa, If you are considering 2 days 1 night cruise, you will stay on the boat for the whole trip and just use a speedboat to transfer from the boat to the destination. The one day cruise may offer all the activities like the overnight cruise, however, it may be a bit rushed thus please kindly consider it. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
