Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on board is a delightful fusion of Thai and European flavors, prepared fresh by the crew. Guests enjoy a full-board meal plan, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in the bright, spacious saloon or outdoors. The menu highlights local ingredients and includes special touches like Italian-style espresso and interactive Thai cooking lessons.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Amadeus focuses on coastal exploration and island-hopping adventures rather than scuba diving. Guests are invited to discover the region's natural beauty through guided snorkeling sessions, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding in crystal-clear lagoons. The itinerary is designed to visit remote islands and hidden beaches, offering a relaxed pace that allows for plenty of time to swim, explore the shoreline, and enjoy the marine environment. Land-based activities are a core part of the experience, with opportunities to visit local islands, enjoy beach walks, and participate in organized beach BBQs. The crew provides guidance for all water-based activities, ensuring that guests can safely enjoy the snorkeling and paddling opportunities available at each stop. The focus is on nature, scenery, and the unique experience of sailing through the Andaman Sea.

Booking & Travel FAQ
How does the booking process work?
Select a cabin and departure on Amadeus, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.
When do I need to pay?
A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.
What documents will I receive?
After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.
How do I get to the cruise ship?
Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary. Some operators arrange airport pickup, group flights or transfers; check your booking confirmation and travel voucher for what is included. We recommend arriving in the gateway city at least one day before departure, unless your operator provides different instructions.
What clothing and footwear should I bring?
Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for shore visits, and comfortable clothing suited to your destination's weather. Pack breathable layers, a sun hat and sun protection for warm regions; for colder or wetter conditions, add warm layers and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Check the operator's packing list for landing footwear, any supplied equipment and specific requirements.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability, contact us as soon as possible.
