The Package:
On Barutheela we offer an all inclusive vacation. There are no hidden
extras, so you can relax and enjoy your time.
All inclusive means:
Transfers: You will be met
by Barutheela crew or representative on arrival in Male. For those
staying at resorts before or after the cruise, Barutheela will co-ordinate
your transfer to and from the boat.
Accommodation: Barutheela has 6 spacious
cabins, all with en-suite showers and toilets. Four cabins can sleep
3 persons, two cabins sleep 2 persons. Two of the cabins have a
double bed, the remainder are single bed, twin or triple cabins.
Specific cabins may be reserved on booking on a first come first
served basis.
Meals: A rich breakfast buffet with
freshly baked bread, tropical fruits, eggs to order, cereals, meats,
cheeses, coffee, tea etc.
Lunch is usually a light affair of soup with pasta and salad.
Tea is served around 4.30pm, fresh cakes and biscuits tide you over
until dinner.
Dinner on board is a 3 course meal, lovingly prepared by our international
chef.
If you get peckish during the day, just ask the crew they will gladly
get something for you to nibble on. Bananas are always available,
ripening on the main deck.
Barbeque: Once a week (weather permitting)
we prepare an original Maldivian beach barbeque on an uninhabited
island. Fish and meats are grilled over an open fire, cool drinks
and Maldivian music enhance that Robinson Crusoe feeling.
Drinks: All beer, wine, soft drinks,
tea and coffee are included in our package price. Cocktails (alcoholic
and non-alcoholic), special wines, spirits and champagne are charged
extra.
Diving: We offer 3 dives daily, apart
from arrival and departure day. On long crossings to far off atolls
the weather may only permit 2 dives that day. One night dive is
offered during the week. Our dive guides specialize in choosing
just the right spot for an amazing night dive experience. Light
sticks (cylumes) must be used on night dives, bring your own or
purchase on board. Scuba cylinders, weights and weight belts are
part of the Barutheela package.
Diving Equipment: Is available on
board for rental. Daily rental rates are regulator $10 ($50 for
week), computer $10 ($50 for week), BCD $10 ($50 for week), regulator
& BCD package rental $90 for week, mask/snorkel/fins $7 ($45
for week), shorty wetsuit $5 ($25 for week), dive lamp $5 per dive,
light stick (cylume) $2 each
Services: You will notice that Barutheela
does not impose a service charge on the cost for your cruise. We
prefer that guests have the freedom to give their own gratuity directly
to the Barutheela crew for services received. Gratuity envelopes
are distributed at the end of each cruise and ALL gratuities received
are shared equally among Barutheela and dhoni crew members.
