Tours and destinations are content types, not pages
The vendor's feature list leads its substantive section with "Tour custom post type" and "Destinations custom post type." That is the structural decision worth checking before anything visual. A trip and a place each become their own entry, so one tour can appear on a destination page, inside a filtered list and in a carousel without being retyped.
The shortcode library exists to place that content around a page: Tours List, Tours Carousel, Tours Filters, Destinations Grid, Destination With Tours, and Destinations Full Screen Slider. Read as a set, they cover the two browsing habits a travel site has to serve — someone who knows where they want to go and wants to see what runs there, and someone scanning everything and narrowing by criteria.
The choice that actually shapes a catalogue is the five tour list layouts: Standard, Masonry, Gallery, Gallery Simple, and Gallery With Description. A standard list suits operators who need price and duration visible at a glance; the gallery variants push photography forward, and the last trades thumbnail density for a short description beside each image.
Booking, PayPal and the account layer
Booking for tours is part of the theme rather than a plugin you go shopping for, and the vendor describes enabling payment "via PayPal" — that specific wording matters, because it is not a general gateway list. If your checkout needs several providers, treat that as an open question rather than an assumption.
The other half of the flow is the account. The vendor lists user login, a user dashboard, and login through social networks. The changelog adds something the feature list does not: a SetSail Membership plugin appears in release notes from version 1.0.1 onward, so the account layer is maintained as its own component and can take fixes independently of the theme files.
Social login deserves its own note before you plan around it. Version 2.1 removed the Google+ route as deprecated, and version 1.7 had already removed Google Plus social sharing. Which networks remain available is a question for the demo's test account, not the feature line.
Layout in WPBakery, with travel-specific elements on top
The vendor includes WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution with the theme and values them at $46 and $26 in the description — figures for the bundled plugins, not a discount you can subtract from the theme's own price. Pages are assembled in WPBakery, with the theme's shortcodes available inside it.
Beyond the travel elements, the list names a Vertical Split Slider, Text Marquee, Countdown, Custom Font, Video Button, Banner and a customizable Google Map. Header options are unusually granular: Minimal, Standard, Centered and Vertical types, three behaviour modes (sticky, fixed, sticky only on scroll up), separate logos for normal, sticky and mobile states, and separate light and dark logo versions. Footers run from one to four columns.
One caveat applies to the imagery rather than the tours: the vendor states plainly that the demo photographs are presentational only and are not licensed for use on your site. Budget for stock photography or your own shoot before treating the gallery layouts as a finished design.
What the changelog says that the feature list does not
Version 2.2, dated 4 December 2025, is the most informative release for anyone evaluating the theme now. It adds Polylang compatibility for the Tours Search Page, adds WooCommerce 10.x compatibility, updates the SetSail Core and SetSail Tours plugins, improves Google Maps API loading, and fixes a tour filter that showed the wrong price range when the currency position was set to Right. The fixes cluster around tour search and filtering rather than page styling, which tells you where the fragile logic sits.
The feature list and the release notes disagree about social feeds, and that disagreement matters more than the fix list. The description still names Instagram List and Twitter List shortcodes plus Twitter Feed and Instagram Feed widgets. Version 2.0 removed the Instagram plugin over Instagram API changes and the Twitter plugin for the same reason. Treat any social feed element as unproven until you see it working with a current connection.
Translation is the steadier thread: WPML compatibility is listed, a WPML config file arrived in 2.1, and 2.2 extended the tours search page to Polylang. An agency selling trips in more than one language can read those entries as evidence the multilingual path is maintained release by release.
The compatibility claims, and how far they reach
Stored vendor attributes observed on 4 November 2026 list WordPress 6.5.x through 7.0.x, WooCommerce 9.x and 10.x, WPBakery Page Builder and WPML. The files field names PHP, CSS and JS files, and the feature list includes a child theme for template overrides.
These are listing-level claims, not the results of installing the theme on a current host — and the changelog shows how quickly such fields drift from the code, since WooCommerce support has been added release by release from 3.5.5 onward. Test tour booking, the tours search page and the filter price range against your own WordPress and WooCommerce versions, in your own currency setting, before committing.
Questions & answers
Is PayPal the only payment route SetSail states?
The supplied description names enabling payment via PayPal and nothing else. WooCommerce compatibility is listed separately, so treat the tour booking checkout and a WooCommerce shop as two different payment questions and test both.
Do the Instagram and Twitter feed elements still work?
The feature list still advertises them, but version 2.0 of the changelog removed the Instagram and Twitter plugins because of API changes. Treat those shortcodes and widgets as unproven until you see them functioning with a current connection.
Can I reuse the demo photographs?
No. The vendor states the demo images are presentational only and must be licensed from a stock image service before appearing on your own site.
Is a child theme included?
The feature list names a child theme as included, and the changelog records updates to it under a SetSail Child plugin version, so template overrides have a place outside the parent theme's files.
