 Valparaiso, Chile |
While there is an elevator on board, passengers must be fully mobile and those aged 79 and over must have a Medical Certificate of Good Health. The age limit is 85. On a working vessel, freight always has priority. Passengers are, in a certain way, paying guests, who have to adapt to this reality. The service on board is simple, and sometimes cabins may not be made up in the most timely fashion. During peak working periods, the Captain and crew may not have much time to spare looking after passengers. |

Dress code is casual and meals reflect the preferences and needs of the young officers and crew. A limited selection of wines and spirits is available in the ship's store. Onboard expenses may be paid for with cash in €. Tipping is at the passenger’s discretion; €3-5 pp per day is recommended. Telephone, fax and email connections are available through the Captain’s office. Port times vary according to cargo requirements; they may be short or long or happen during the day or night. Nevertheless, traveling on a Grimaldi freighter will provide you with many pleasures. You’ll become part of a team and enjoy your voyage on the high seas. Just make sure to have your passport with you and check for any visa requirements. Passengers come from all Continents. They appreciate the warm welcome they always receive on board the Grimaldi freighters. |
