Q – Who is this trip for?
Women over 21! Most women come along solo — and there is no upper age limit. Our only rules are: women over 21 only, be kind, respect one another and our destinations, and have an amazing time! 

First-time cruisers, seasoned sailors, nervous travelers, excited adventurers—all women welcome!

Q – How do I book?
This trip goes live on 30th October at 7:00 PM exclusively inside our NOMA Community App!

Q –What's the flight situation?
Flights are not included so you can choose airlines and routes that suit you (or extend your stay and fly home later...!). Your NOMA host will share the exact direct flight she is taking from Edinburgh (EDI) to Barcelona (BCN) inside the app booking link if you wish to travel on the same flight as her. Return flight price is currently £320, but please note flight prices may fluctuate with availability and demand. 

Q -How does room sharing work? What if I want my own room? 
Prices are based on 2 women sharing a Sea Terrace (balcony) cabin configured with 2 separate twin beds. We use a tried & tested roommate pairing system to match you with a compatible traveler before you go! If you prefer your own cabin, solo supplements are available. Please contact us BEFORE booking so we can check availability and pricing. 

Q - Why is a 1-night pre-cruise stay mandatory?
Cruises wait for no one! We have been booking cruises for private clients in our travel agency for years and it's something we always recommend! Imagine you fly on the day of embarkation, a slight flight delays or cancellation could cause you to miss the ship, meaning you'd miss your cruise, without a refund. Therefore, we include a mandatory 1-night Barcelona hotel stay before the cruise starts, so everyone arrives stress-free, relaxed, and ready to board together! 

Q - Can I extend my stay post-trip?
Yes! You can coordinate post-cruise extensions with other women in our app group chat. Any flights or hotels after the group trip ends are at your own expense.

Q -Are there hidden fees on board?
Nope! Unlike other cruise lines, your cruise fare includes all dining(even the fancy restaurants!), basic drinks, gratuities, entertainment, fitness classes, taxes, and port fees. You only pay extra for premium drinks/alcohol (beyond your included $50 Bar Tab), spa services, excursions or gambling which is optional and your own choice.

Q - What if I don't want my photo on social media on the trip?
No problem at all! We only share photos/videos of women who are 100% comfortable. Just let your host know.


Q - Do I need a visa or specific documents?
UK Passport Holders: No visa required. 

Passport Expiry: Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date from Italy and issued within 10 years of your entry date.

Travel Insurance: Mandatory for all guests.

Note: This information is for UK passport holders — please reach out if you hold a different passport so we can double check
 requirements.


Q - What do we do on/off the ship? 

Everything off the ship is at your own expense.  We have designed it this way to ensure everyone has the chance to have the experiences they wish.  Some women may have visited some destinations before, and may prefer to enjoy the ship when it's quieter in port.  Some may wish to do a private tour/excursion on land, some may wish to do their own thing.  Your host will have a plan of action for each port, and sea day.  You are welcome to join her or she can help you plan something to suit you.   But anything off the ship is not included in your trip price and will be an optional add on.
