Tipp: wir waren mit fast ausschließlich Chinesischen Gästen an Bord die im unteren Deck durchwegs mit Seekrankheit zu kämpfen hatten. Am offenen Deck im 1. Stock hat man seine Ruhe, ist trotz insg. 40-50 Menschen an Bord fast immer alleine gewesen. Wer Lust auf einen aufregenden Tag hat mit tollen Zielen und einem spektakulären Sonnenuntergang am Ende wird hier fündig! Wir sagen Danke…”
