What if I get seasick?
Tips for managing motion sickness on board
Motion sickness often occurs within the first 48 hours at sea. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and excessive liquids. Stay in open, ventilated areas, eat plain foods, and take medications before symptoms begin. Many remedies can cause drowsiness, so use caution when moving around the ship. Consult your physician for guidance on prevention strategies.
If you are prone to motion sickness or this is your first time on a ship, there are several easy ways to prepare. We recommend consulting your doctor in advance for advice or prescriptions that may help. Many travellers also bring over-the-counter remedies such as anti-nausea medication, acupressure wristbands, or patches.
Choosing a cabin on the lower decks or mid-ship can help minimize the sensation of movement. Exterior cabins may be particularly helpful, as they offer access to natural light and a view of the horizon, which can ease symptoms.
A doctor is on board throughout the expedition should you require additional support. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or would like help choosing a suitable cabin.
