A timeless moment on a magnificent boat. A beautiful alliance of art and the sea. An ode to the Mediterranean.

It was a great experience, and the volunteers were very welcoming. My daughters really enjoyed traveling through time in virtual reality. It's a pity there isn't a helmet suitable for smaller children without a controller. My 6-year-old son was unable to enjoy it. Fortunately, the organizers were nice and kept an eye on him while I was able to enjoy the experience. Thanks for the experience, I hope it will be repeated.

Great cultural experience on this magnificent catamaran. Very well organized, with very friendly guides. I was delighted to rediscover the sounds of the Mediterranean. Thank you for this wonderful experience, which is within everyone's reach. Too bad for the colleagues who couldn't get a place... the price of fame.

Wonderful trip, I loved the audio experience. Bravo to the teams! And since I'd never been there before, the fact that it was free was a key factor.

The catamaran is wonderful, and the crew is helpful. An amazing experience, especially in the VR tunnel where you can see the light show. The immersive headphones provided English audio, so I felt included.
