What if there is a hurricane, tsunami or other natural disaster?

Tsunamis
The open ocean is the safest place to be for ships located near a tsunami area. Most coastal areas have tsunami warnings which should give the captain time to move the ship away from the coast if it were docked.

Hurricanes / typhoons

MV Narrative is a state-of-the-art vessel fitted with two stabilizers midship, one on each side, as well as featuring the latest in hull design to reduce motion. Furthermore, the vessel will spend much of its time in port or near calmer coastlines and our itinerary provides for flexibility in order to avoid rough seas.

While every action has been taken to prevent unforeseen repairs, all ships incur them from time to time. A ‘floating-fund’ has been set aside for such instances.
