If you are prone to motion sickness, you may already know
which treatments work best for you. If not, we recommend speaking with your
doctor or pharmacist prior to travel to discuss suitable options.
Medications prescribed by your doctor or purchased from a
pharmacy will include clear instructions on how and when to take them. For best
effect, many treatments should be started before boarding and taken as
directed throughout your journey.
Some guests prefer natural remedies, such as:
· Ginger

apples

wristbands
General tips that can help:
· Get
fresh air whenever possible

towards the horizon to help stabilise your balance

well hydrated — water is best

caffeine, alcohol, and fizzy drinks, as these may worsen symptoms for some
people

often well tolerated
