Accommodation Overview
Giamani is unique in that she has a little bit different setup on her cabins than most of the other boats. She has four deluxe cabins on her main deck which take either two or three passengers in twin beds with en-suite bathrooms. Two of the deluxe cabins have double bed as well as two twin beds. Two of the deluxe cabins have bunk beds and a single twin on the other side of the room. Her two standard cabins are up top and also have twin beds, but these share one bathroom between them.
The deluxe cabins can be booked by two or three people. If you book two people only, you pay a bit more than if you book three. Each deluxe cabin has its own air conditioning unit, en-suite bathroom and the cabin door opens to spectacular sea views. All cabins are air-conditioned.
