FAQs - Before Your Cruise
Age Requirements
Is there an
age requirement for passengers?
Our public vacations are designed for adults to enjoy a peaceful
and relaxing cruise. Those chartering the boat for private functions
are welcome to include all ages.
Accessibility
Is the Moonlight
Lady accessible?
Due to the ship's design, the Moonlight Lady is not handicapped
accessible. It is required that all guests are physically fit to
travel and able to climb stairways without assistance. The Moonlight
Lady does not have an elevator. Vermont Discovery Cruises reserves
the right to refuse any guest who is not self-sufficient, or traveling
with a companion who shall take sole responsibility for any assistance
needed during the voyage and in case of emergency.
What to Pack
Casual attire is perfectly acceptable on the cruise and in any ports
as well. Consider bringing some warm layers for cool mornings and
evenings. We suggest you bring the following: rubber soled shoes
to wear on the boat, comfortable walking shoes, rain jacket, hat,
camera, binoculars and sunscreen.
Are there
restrictions to what I may bring on-board?
- Luggage:
- Due to limited storage space, we suggest that you limit your
luggage to one or two small suitcases per person. There are drawers
designed to hold your clothing, located under the beds in each
cabin. Your luggage will be stored on the Admiral Deck.
- Alcohol:
- Per Vermont State Law, carry-on alcohol for the purpose of
personal consumption while on board the boat is not permitted.
Alcohol purchased during any shore excursion will be stored and
retained by Vermont Discovery Cruises and returned to the purchaser
at the end of the trip.
- Food:
- As the Moonlight Lady is a licensed restaurant, by Vermont
State Law, it is illegal to bring on your own food. Our chef
will do everything possible to accommodate your special tastes
and diets.
- Weapons:
- No weapons or firearms are permitted on board.
- Additional Restricted Items:
- Per U.S. Coast Guard regulations, no illegal substances may
be brought on board. Pets, including aid dogs, are not allowed
aboard the Moonlight Lady.
