ADVENTURE IS A SHORE THING SHORE EXCURSIONS

DISCOVER YOUR OWN

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Ready to revisit that bucket list? Explore the possibilities for shore excursions on your next cruise below.

ADVENTURE ON LAND

No matter what your ideal adventure involves, Shore Excursions make it easy to immerse yourself in each vibrant destination you visit. Unleash your inner explorer and discover bold new ways to connect with the people, culture and places around you as you sail from one unforgettable shore to another.

EUROPE EXCURSIONS

When you explore Europe’s ancient cities, every arch and alleyway tells a story. In Sicily, you can bike across the rim of Mount Etna, which the ancient Greeks believed was home to the legendary Cyclops. In Spain, learn how to prepare tapas like a true Malagan, then savor every single bite. And venture deeper into nature — literally — as you explore the magnificent Lipa Cave in Montenegro. No matter where your journey takes you, these experiences will make every moment memorable.  

PRIVATE JOURNEYS

For those looking for a more personalized adventure, there’s Private Journeys. Our Destination Insiders leverage extensive knowledge and years of travel expertise to hand craft one-of-a-kind private tours with you in mind. You can customize an existing tour that catches your eye, or work with an Insider to create an exclusive tour experience that’s completely unique to you or a small group. Celebrating a special occasion, chasing a lifelong dream, or looking for ways to rediscover a favorite destination? Private Journeys are at your service.  

DISCOVER WONDERS BENEATH THE WAVES

Adventure doesn’t just happen onshore — there are countless marvels waiting to be discovered just below the waterline. Brave the depths and venture down to the ocean floor, or scope out the reefs as you snorkel along the surface of the sea.

SNORKEL EXCURSIONS

Take your adventure underwater and discover a whole world that’s teeming with life. Swim with sea turtles and manta rays, float over vibrant reefs, and explore colorful coral forests on a snorkeling excursion designed to bring you up close with the ocean’s most beautiful natural treasures.  

SCUBA EXCURSIONS

There’s no better way to explore the beauty beneath the waves than on a guided scuba excursion. Dive deep below the surface of the sea with a certified expert and weave through brilliant coral colonies, scour centuries-old shipwrecks and come face-to-face with exotic aquatic critters.

Make the most of your time in each port with an optional shore excursion. While you're free to explore any port on your own, many cruisers opt for organized excursions for their knowledgeable guides, access to restricted locations and unmatched convenience. Most excursions pick you up at the pier and drop you back off at the ship so you don't have to worry about transportation at port - or about arriving late and missing your ship. Start by browsing our destination to learn about their ports of call and the most popular things to do in each, or contact our experienced cruise consultants for help selecting the best excursions for you.

We recommend booking your shore excursions with either The Cruise Web's third party excursions partner, Shore Excursions Group , or through the cruise line directly.

There are many advantages to booking with Shore Excursions Group. For starters, you can enjoy prices up to 40% lower than cruise lines! Plus, Shore Excursions Group offers a money-back guarantee, additional excursion options, guaranteed return to ship and 24/7 traveler support at 1-866-703-0606.

NOTE : Shore excursions booked through Shore Excursions Group are NOT operated by the cruise line, but instead are arranged by Shore Excursions Group.

Cruise Etiquette: How To Get the Most Out of Shore Excursions

By Scott Laird

Cruising is an efficient means of travel, allowing you to tick off multiple bucket-list destinations in one fell swoop. However, that means you might only spend about 8 hours in each port (although more and more cruises are staying in ports overnight .)

To make the most of their limited time on the ground, many passengers book cruise shore excursions : multi-hour tours and activities organized specifically for cruise passengers at the port of call. Typical cruise line excursions have long featured bus tours—with stops for shopping and photo opps—but have recently grown to include a diverse range of activities for all types of travelers.

Active passengers can go on a fishing excursion in Alaska (and some cruise lines, like Princess and Holland America , cook and serve the fish they catch), while the culinary-minded might learn how to grind cacao beans into chocolate and pair it with wine in Cozumel. Relaxation seekers might choose a day trip to an all-inclusive resort in Roatán, Honduras where they can lay on the beach, sipping drinks from the open bar–that is, if they’d rather not go ziplining or play a round of golf, also excursions offered in Roatán.

Of course, passengers can always go off on their own–but new-to-cruisers should note that not all ports are convenient for self-exploration, particularly if the cruise terminal is far from local attractions.

There are two ways cruise passengers can book shore excursions: directly through the cruise line or with independent tour operators based at the port. Below, we break down the pros and cons of each option, when paying for a shore excursion makes sense, plus other expert tips on how cruise-goers can best organize their time on shore.

When to book your shore excursions through the cruise line

Cruise lines have entire teams dedicated to selecting a diverse array of high-quality shore excursions vetted to ensure they meet the line’s defined standards. But cruise lines are also known to add markups to their excursions—many of which tour operators also sell directly to travelers at a lower cost.

The main benefit of booking a shore excursion directly through the cruise line is convenience. Cruise line-offered excursions are charged directly to shipboard accounts, can typically be changed or canceled up to a day prior to the excursion, and offer a seamless experience: passengers are escorted off the ship when the excursion is ready to depart, and tour leaders on shore maintain contact with the shore excursion team onboard the ship to communicate any changes or delays.

Anxious travelers have good reason to fear delays on shore; passengers on private excursions who don’t board by the ship by the “all aboard” time can be left behind at the pier. But when the cruise line arranges the excursion, the ship won’t depart until the group returns. Earlier this year, staff on a NCL ship refused to board late-returning passengers, stranding them on a remote island in West Africa. The group of ten passengers who missed their ship were on a private excursion, a fact that NCL pointed to as a reason for initially refusing to reimburse any of the expenses they incurred to rejoin the ship at a later port.

Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist Tom Baker , president of CruiseCenter, says that cruise lines play on passengers’ fear of missing the ship to sell their own excursions at higher costs. Approximately 40% of Baker’s clients elect to book private excursions instead of cruise line offered excursions, he says, adding that he’s never had a passenger on those tours miss the ship.

But in some ports, booking a group excursion through the cruise line is the best option. Many big-ship cruises, especially in the Mediterranean , dock in ports that are located several hours away from popular tourist sites.For example, passengers on ships docking in Civitavecchia (for Rome ) or Le Havre (for Paris ) will find themselves a 1.5 to 3 hour drive away from their respective cities—meaning if you try to make the lengthy trip on your own, there's a higher chance of missing the cruise ship’s departure time. Even some coastal cities, like Barcelona and Marseille, have sprawling industrial ports that may appear close to the main attractions, but in reality, they are not quite walkable or easily accessible from the ship.

On a recent cruise aboard the new Sun Princess , an excursion to Florence proved to be an all-day affair. The ship was docked 2 hours away from Florence in the port town of La Spezia; our tour bus greeted us immediately upon disembarking, ready to whisk us off to Pisa and Florence . It was a fulfilling, jam-packed day, with several hours spent in the bus watching the Tuscan countryside. But, pulling off this carefully planed itinerary required precision—we arrived back to the port just before the lines were cast off for departure. Any delay would have compromised a timely return to the ship, and knowing that the ship would have waited certainly provided me with peace of mind.

However, most cruise ports don’t require such lengthy transit times. For example, port calls on smaller Caribbean islands where the excursion lengths are just a fraction of the ship’s overall time in port, the need for precision arrivals and departures is simply less necessary.

First time cruisers who are still getting adjusted to the rhythm of cruise travel may benefit from booking a shore excursion through the cruise line at the first port in order to get accustomed to the process. A trusted travel advisor can be invaluable in figuring out which ports are better for structured tours, and which walkable ports are best for exploring on foot.

How to plan a personalized shore excursion

A main complaint surrounding cruise line shore excursions is that, due to their size (the average excursion group on a large ship is around 30-50 people), the tours don’t feel personalized and can often be held up by stragglers. On larger ships, there’s a definite “mass travel” experience: passengers are given color coded stickers to wear before being herded into a public area, where they’re escorted off the ship to rows of waiting buses. For independent-minded travelers, this alone can be off-putting.

However, the size—and type—of shore excursions vary by cruise line. Just as expedition cruises , river cruises , and luxury small ship lines offer different experiences at sea compared to large ship brands, the same goes for the shoreside experience. Before booking, you can check to see the specific excursions that will be offered on your voyage on the cruise line’s website.

While you can expect intimate excursion groups on small ships, some larger cruise lines also offer more personalized alternatives. Celebrity Cruise passengers can book tailored excursions through the line’s Private Journeys program; and Oceania Cruises also offers Oceania Exclusive excursions, which limits groups to 16 passengers.

For those seeking a highly-personalized experience on shore, another option is to book a private excursion with a tour operator or through a travel specialist. Top cruise specialists like Mary Jean Tully can tap a network of trusted guides in each port to tailor shore excursions to her guests’ preferences.

“We always encourage people to do something privately whenever possible,” Tully says, adding that she recommends booking a private car instead of a bus tour if flexibility is what you're after, as they can stop on a moment’s notice if travelers see something of interest.

Regardless of the type of shore excursion booked, don’t forget to take identification, cash, and most importantly, contact information for the cruise line’s port agent—they’re the local contact who can alert the ship if any emergencies or delays arise on shore. Cruise lines typically publish the port agent’s contact details in the daily program; some even hand out cards with the information or display it on monitors so passengers can take pictures with their smartphones.

In any case, the most important thing to ensure a successful shore excursion is to make it back to the ship on time, to look forward to enjoying the next day in the next port.

What are shore excursions?

Shore excursions are available through our partnerships with local suppliers and guides, in the majority of ports we visit. They cover an amazing array of places, landmarks, activities and experiences — from wildlife encounters in the Outback and salsa lessons in Havana to wine-tastings on a French estate and zip-lining in the Costa Rican rainforest. We offer something for every interest, taste and capability level.

How do I book shore excursions?

Choose from city tours, culinary explorations, shopping outings, outdoor expeditions, cultural activities and more. We recommend you book early for the best selection, as our excursions and tours have limited capacity and fill up quickly. Shore excursions may be easily booked online in advance of sailing on the book shore excursions page. If tour details are not yet finalized, please check again closer to your departure date. Shore excursions may be booked and prepaid online up to three days before sailing. Your Digital Tour Tickets will be available under My Account in Navigator. Please download the  Navigator app  prior to boarding. You will also be able to request tours on the ship at the shore excursion Office.

Many tours have limited availability, and booking tours in advance reduces the chance of disappointment. All tour bookings are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.  Prices are subject to change without notice. Tours are booked and paid with a credit card and a confirmation will be sent to your email address.

If a tour is sold out, many tours offer a waitlist option. If a tour is waitlisted and space becomes available, an email notification will be sent to you at which time you will have 72 hours to book and confirm the tour.  Your credit card will be charged once you have confirmed your tour.

Is there a dedicated resource I can speak with about shore excursions?

The shore excursion reservation office is available to assist you Monday-Friday, 7 AM to 5 PST; Saturday-Sunday, 7 AM to 4 PST. Guests may call 1 (888) 425-9376 to speak directly with an agent.

Is there a customized brochure of shore excursions available for a specific cruise?

To download a voyage specific eBrochure, go to  www.hollandamerica.com  and select Already Booked then Book Shore Excursions. You will be prompted to enter your Email or Mariner ID along with your password. Go to Explore Shore Excursions then select Download Personalized eBrochure.

Will my kids be able to go on shore excursions with Holland America Line?

Yes, you’ll find a range of experiences to suit the interests and activity levels of everyone in your family. Our family-friendly shore excursions give you new ways to discover destinations together.

What is the timing of shore excursions?

Shore excursion departure times coincide with the ship’s schedule as well as other tours, enabling you to take multiple tours if desired with worry-free return to the ship. In the very rare event that your tour is late and the ship must leave, we will arrange at our expense to get you to the next port of call. With independently booked tours, you are responsible for rejoining the ship at the next port of call.

Does Holland America Line offer accessible shore excursions?

Holland America Line is committed to providing safe, easy, and accessible accommodations for all persons with disabilities, to the extent that is feasible. The tours are graded according to their relative level of activity. The activity icons that appear at the beginning of each tour description provide a general idea of the level of activity to expect. It is important to keep in mind that tour operators are subject to the laws of their own country with respect to accommodating the needs of guests with disabilities. In most foreign countries, the laws are not as stringent as those in the United States. We cannot guarantee that all are able to provide facilities that are accessible to individuals with disabilities and third party shore excursion facilities may not be fully accessible to guests with disabilities. For detailed information on accessibility of shore excursions, we strongly recommend contacting our shore excursions reservations department well in advance of embarkation at 1-888-425-9376 (or locally at 206-626-7320). Once onboard, please visit the shore excursions office.

What is Explorations Central?

Explorations Central (EXC™) is a one-stop, multi-faceted program that combines indispensable travel resources and on-board enrichment opportunities, making your time ashore more engaging, vivid and meaningful. The program —including our EXC Guides, shore excursions staff and other resources— is located in the Crow’s Nest (on some ships) or another specially designated place.

What are the cancellation policies for shore excursions?

Cancellations for pre-paid tours are allowed up to 3 days prior to cruise embarkation and will be refunded to the credit card used for the purchase. If within 3 days of embarkation, all changes/cancellations must be done onboard the ship and refunds will be applied to your onboard account. If the credit is not fully utilized during the cruise, the balance will be paid to that passenger by the ship's Purser at the end of the voyage. If cancellation occurs onboard after the cancellation deadline for specific shore excursions, a 100% cancellation fee will apply. The ship's shore excursions office will be able to advise you of the cancellation deadline applicable to each tour. Optional shore excursions during the land portion of a Land & Sea Journey are non-refundable within 3 days of your Land & Sea Journey departure date. Group shore excursions cancelled within three days prior to embarkation (sail) date are nonrefundable. Custom tours may have different cancellation deadlines which will be stated in the proposal. In the rare instance that tours are cancelled by Holland America Line or the tour operator, the full amount will be refunded within four to six weeks after the voyage ends.

Shore excursions: What new cruisers need to know

The fun of a cruise is equal parts what you do on board and what you do on shore. Cruise lines offer a full schedule of shore excursions to help you make the most of your time in port. However, the process of choosing and booking tours can be overwhelming for new cruisers.

I've taken shore excursions around the world, both ship-run and independent, and spent many days in port wandering on my own. Allow me to take you through the basics of cruise shore excursions, so you can learn to have the most fun no matter what your budget is.

What is a cruise shore excursion?

A shore excursion is a group tour or activity aimed at cruise travelers who can only spend a limited time in each port they're visiting on their itinerary.

A shore excursion could be a sightseeing bus tour, a guided visit to a museum or historic site, an athletic activity (like a hike, bike ride or snorkel outing), a day at the beach or a cooking or dance class. Shore excursions typically highlight the marquee attractions or culture of the destination you're visiting. Sometimes an excursion will take you to sites within walking distance of your cruise; on other occasions, they might take you on a day trip to a nearby city.

Some shore excursions are targeted at families or can easily accommodate children. Some can accommodate passengers with mobility issues or other disabilities . Others may require a minimum level of fitness and are not suitable for everyone.

Shore excursions may be sold by your cruise line and organized with a partner provider. They can also be purchased through independent operators or third-party tour sellers.

Do you have to buy shore excursions on a cruise?

In most cases, you don't need to book a shore excursion to explore a port of call. You can simply walk off the ship and stroll into town or catch a cab to take you wherever you want to go.

However, in some destinations, a shore excursion, or independently operated guided tour, is highly encouraged. This could be in places where it's difficult to navigate as a foreigner who can't speak the language or understand street signs or where the tourism infrastructure is not yet fully developed.

Can I book a shore excursion on my own instead of through my cruise line?

Yes. I use many factors to decide whether to take a ship's tour, book an independent excursion or explore on my own in port. However, if you're a novice traveler, you might want to book ship tours exclusively because they're the simplest, easiest and most convenient options.

The benefits to a cruise line's shore excursions are that they depart from and return to the ship; you don't need to figure out where to meet a guide in a port you've never visited. Better still, should an unexpected problem (traffic, a medical emergency) occur during your outing, the ship will not leave port until all of its own tours have returned.

Independent tours, on the other hand, can be cheaper than cruise ship tours. I once saved hundreds of dollars organizing a group to go on an overnight, independently operated excursion to see Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza from Port Said, Egypt; the ship's tours were incredibly marked up. Also, if you have a particular interest, the ship might not offer a tour for the activity or attraction you're excited about.

Related: Ship-sponsored vs. independent shore excursions on cruises: Which should you book?

Some third-party operators will customize a tour for you or your group, so you can spend more time at the places you most want to see. Sometimes these tour groups are also smaller than the large cruise ship tours — which can carry 30 to 60 people in a bus — so you will spend less time waiting for everyone.

Finally, some ports are simply wonderful to walk around, popping into shops and local restaurants or bars, going where you will. I've skipped tours in places like Key West, Florida; Tallinn, Estonia; Monaco; Nassau, Bahamas; Skagway, Alaska; Geiranger, Norway; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. A map and a guidebook got me where I wanted to go.

How much are shore excursions on a cruise?

Cruise shore excursion prices vary widely depending on the cost of living in the cruise destination, what type of activity is involved and whether it's a full- or half-day tour. Young children often pay a reduced rate for tours.

Looking at Princess Cruises ' shore excursions in Grand Cayman, a 2.5-hour stingray swim costs $70 per person, a 5-hour scenic island drive costs $100, and a 4-hour, two-tank scuba dive costs $180. In Juneau, Alaska, a 3-hour tour to the Mendenhall Glacier visitor center costs $50 per person. A 3-hour gold panning activity and salmon bake costs $125, while a 2.25-hour tour to take a helicopter ride to the top of the glacier, where you can walk around on the ice for half an hour, costs $420.

Some cruise lines, such as Viking and Regent Seven Seas Cruises , include the cost of basic shore excursions in their cruise fares. If you don't care to do any specialty tours, you might be able to get all your port activities for free. Other lines, such as Norwegian Cruise Line , offer discounted tours or shore excursion credit as booking promotions .

What's the best way to book shore excursions?

If you plan to book shore excursions through your cruise line, you have a couple of options of how to book them.

You can book your tours online in advance, or have your travel agent do it for you. This is the best route if there's a ship's tour you absolutely want to take and you don't want to risk its selling out. Book your tours the minute they open for reservations. When my parents traveled on a luxury Regent Seven Seas cruise, they said that waiting until the next morning to book tours meant that some of their choices were sold out.

The downside to booking tours in advance is that some cruise lines require that you pay for the tours in full, rather than putting them on your final cruise bill. It means you're out the money in advance and it can be difficult to use onboard credit to cover the cost of excursions booked online.

Alternatively, you can wait until you're on the ship and book your excursion in person at the shore excursions desk. You'll be able to ask the staff questions about the tours, and the charges will be added to your final cruise bill. However, you do run the risk that a popular tour might be sold out by the time you're ready to book.

The same is true with independent tours. Most people organize these ahead of time through a tour operator or travel agent. However, in popular cruise ports, there are often representatives waiting at the port or at a tourist office who can book you on same-day tours if space is available.

Is it cheaper to book shore excursions on the ship?

No. Most cruise lines either charge the same prices for shore excursions booked online and on board or offer a discount for tours purchased in advance. For example, Royal Caribbean often advertises up to 30% off select tours reserved ahead of the sailing.

Do I need to tip on shore excursions?

Whether you're on a cruise line sponsored or independent shore excursion, a best practice is to tip your tour guides at the end of the tour. Exceptions are if tips are included in the price or if you're visiting a country with a non-tipping culture, where offering cash would be awkward.

Related: Ultimate guide to tipping on cruise ships

Tipping is a personal matter, and there are no hard and fast rules. I canvassed TPG's cruise team and we agreed that we give roughly $5 to $10 per person for half-day tours and $10 to $20 per person for full-day excursions, adjusted for service and quality. Tip non-guide drivers roughly $2 per person in your party.

You'll likely want to tip more for customized, private tours — consider 5 to 20% of the cost of the tour.

How do I get the most from my cruise shore excursion?

The key to getting the most from your cruise shore excursion is to know what you want and make sure the tour description matches your expectations. I find that the more I cruise, the less I take ship-sponsored shore excursions because they don't offer exactly what I want.

For example, if you're considering a bus tour, make sure you understand how much time will be spent sitting on the bus and how much time will be at the destination or attraction, whether you will be looking at or going inside key attractions and whether there's free time to explore. If it's an activity, like snorkeling or a helicopter tour, read up on how much time is spent in transit and prep and how much time you will spend actually doing the activity.

Be sure to note the fitness level required and don't try to take on more than you're able to do. If you struggle with mobility, check to see if there's a lot of walking on uneven ground like cobblestones.

Related: 11 cruise ship excursions to avoid

If the tour takes place over lunchtime, check to see if a meal is included or if you have time to pick up something to eat.

Personally, I find that organized tours are best when the excursion is an activity I can't do on my own (such as kayaking, zip lining or a winery tour); when long distances are involved where I don't want to bother with public transportation or renting a car on a one-day visit; or when the culture is foreign enough that independent exploration would be tricky. Sometimes you also need an expert guide, such as in Pompeii, to know what you're seeing.

Bottom line

Shore excursions are a great way to make the most of your time in port, but you might get the most value out of a mix of guided tours and independent exploration. Choose the best option based on your budget and interests, and remember to look at both ship-sponsored and independent tour and activity options. And if you feel like staying on board one day while your ship is docked in a port that doesn't interest you, that's okay, too.

North America Shore Excursions

Tabs view cruises.

• View Cruises

A world of adventure awaits ashore on a cruise along the coastlines of North America with Celebrity. North American shore excursions embrace everything from gourmet food tasting to winery visits, clifftop hikes, boat trips, guided walks, and kayaking.

In Alaska, you could be flying over the forest canopy on a zipline near Ketchikan one day and  sailing up close to the blue-white face of the vast Hubbard Glacier the next. Experience the double thrill of a helicopter flight over forest and mountains to land on a massive glacier, where a team of huskies awaits.

On a Pacific Coast cruise to San Francisco, feast on dim sum in Chinatown, or be guided through the fine wines of the Sonoma Valley on a cellar visit. Monterey is the starting point for the ruggedly beautiful 17 Mile Drive, the road snaking along the contours of cliffs that plunge straight into the pounding surf of the Pacific. In Santa Barbara, explore the whitewashed mission buildings or head into the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley to sample some of California’s finest wines. Catalina Island, meanwhile, is the perfect place for hiking in the highlands through flower-filled meadows and soaking up the atmosphere of scenic Avalon.

Across the border in Ensenada, Mexico, join a workshop to learn about the history of chocolate, or combine a hike in the rugged El Salto Canyon with a craft beer tasting. Mexican Riviera cruises also take you to Mazatlán, where the colorful Old Town invites exploration, as do the beaches of the Golden Zone. From Puerto Vallarta, join a thrilling ATV tour to explore the rugged Sierra Madre mountains, or try your hand at a tequila cocktail-making workshop. Cabo San Lucas, meanwhile, is famed for its glorious beaches, superb whale-watching, and the nearby arty town of Todos Santos.

To explore the world of the Maya, take a cruise to Mexico’s Caribbean coast. From Costa Maya, you could try a traditional healing ritual with a shaman, or visit the ruins of Chacchoben or the impressive pyramid of Kohunlich. Dreamy Cozumel, meanwhile, is the jumping-off point for the walled city of Tulum, as well as superb snorkeling over dazzling coral reefs. 

Further north, East Coast excursions could take you to genteel Bermuda, a slice of rural Britain in the North Atlantic. Fringed with pink sand beaches, it offers fine snorkeling over vast coral reefs and spectacular wreck diving. In Charleston, South Carolina, you could take a tour of the only working tea plantation in the United States, or join a local storyteller for a walking tour that will reveal chilling tales of the city’s ghosts. Further north, in Newport, Rhode Island, a guide will reveal the secrets of the lavish mansions for which the town is famed. The gingerbread Victorian cottages of Martha’s Vineyard are perhaps less imposing, but just as significant historically—and just as photogenic.

Bar Harbor, Maine, is the gateway for the wild beauty of Acadia National Park, which you could explore on four wheels, by kayak, on foot, or from the water. In foodie Portland, taste lobster rolls and apple pie, and then cycle the scenic Eastern Promenade Trail along the coast, followed by a hike at Mackworth Island.

Canada’s East Coast ports have a charm of their own. Follow the Fundy Trail Parkway from Saint John, New Brunswick, to explore sea caves, rock-strewn beaches, and towering sandstone cliffs. Delve into literary history in pretty Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island with a visit to the house of Anne of Green Gables, followed by lobster rolls at Fisherman’s Wharf. From Halifax, visit the beautiful and much-photographed lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove. In chic, French-speaking Quebec, join a local expert on a stroll through the UNESCO-listed center, encircled by chunky ramparts dating back to the early 17th century. You’ll uncover the very best of each of these fascinating ports with these North American shore excursions.

As part of our Journey Collection, Seabourn product specialists have developed several options to explore destinations not accessible during a single day port call.  Guests are approved to disembark the ship and travel to another destination and then re-board the vessel in another port.  Mid-Cruise Overland Journeys can be overnight experiences or multi-day trips and will include all transportation, hotel overnights and most meals.  Most journeys include several unique sightseeing experiences along the way.  Mid-Cruise Overland Journeys need to be booked well in advance in order to make the various arrangements.  We are able to secure additional space on occasion, so guests are encouraged to waitlist as our shore side team will actively be working to clear waitlisted guests. 

Note:  100% cancellation fees may apply to all overnight and overland journeys if cancelled within the penalty period.  Loyalty discounts do not apply to Mid-Cruise Overland Journeys.

Does Seabourn offer private vehicle touring?

Yes.  As part of our Bespoke Collection, Seabourn has arranged a variety of half-day and full-day vehicle options in every port where possible.  Options may include “Driver Only” for guests more familiar with a port of call, while others will include a Driver and English-speaking guide.  These options can be found with all other shore excursions available for your cruise and can be booked on-line or on board.  This version of private touring is where you set your own agenda.  Our Destination teams on board can assist you with arrangements as needed.  For guests wanting a fully customized private touring arrangement, they need to reach out to our Private Arrangement Specialists at  [email protected] .   Note:  Private Vehicles are booked per party and not per person.  Only one guests should book the vehicle.  Due to limited availability of private vehicles, 100% cancellation fees may apply.  Loyalty discounts do not apply to private vehicles.

Does Seabourn offer foreign language tours?

Seabourn designs their tour program to be delivered by English-speaking guides.  Our private arrangements team can set up foreign language private touring opportunities where available and guests can discuss onboard options with our Destination & Guest Services team.

Does Seabourn allow guests to bring wine or other spirits back on board the vessel?

Yes.  Seabourn has a significant amount of Epicurean Collection tours that may take you to a winery, distillery or other venue where you can purchase alcoholic beverages.  You are free to bring those back to the ship and no corkage fees apply.

I have limited mobility. How do I know which tours are best for me?

Shore excursion descriptions will include activity icons that will identify the level of activity required for the excursion.  It is important to keep in mind that tour operators are subject to the laws of their country with respect to accommodating the needs of guests with disabilities.  In most foreign countries, the laws are not as stringent as those in the United States.    Our shore excursion reservations agents can help with any questions you might have on accessibility.  Email  [email protected]  or call 800-984-3225 for additional service.   Once you are on board, our Destination & Guest Services teams can help you assess the suitability of a specific tour in a personal consultation.  Note:  Wheelchair accessible tour buses outside of the United States may not be of the same standards.  Our tour operators will do their best to accommodate guests with limited mobility.

Will I encounter difficulties (dis)embarking the ship during some ports of call?

Please see the on-board Destination & Guest Services team to help determine whether you can expect to encounter difficulties (dis)embarking the ship.  The decision whether or not to provide assistance to a guest or carry their device (wheelchair, walker, etc.) up or down a ship’s gangway, or on or off a tender boat, is at the sole discretion of the Captain, made based on his evaluation of guest and crew safety.  We encourage you to bring a collapsible wheelchair as space limitations may restrict the ability of some tour operators to accommodate motorized mobility aid devices.

Does Seabourn have a loyalty program?

Yes.  Seabourn has a robust loyalty program with some levels offering shore excursion discounts, and club points can be earned from shore excursion purchases.  To learn more about our loyalty program, visit our Seabourn Club information section on Seabourn.com at   https://www.seabourn.com/en_US/seabourn-club.html .  Loyalty discounts do not apply to overland, overnight and private vehicle programs.

8 Shore Excursions You Should Never Do on a Cruise

Posted: June 4, 2024 | Last updated: June 4, 2024

Port Mistakes

There are so many shore excursions to choose from on a cruise that the array can be dizzying. Each port will have many options, and without a little guidance, you might end up paying a lot of money for something you could have gotten cheaper — or even worse, something that's a total waste of time. Here are popular types of cruise shore excursions that you should always avoid. 

1. Trips That Take Too Much Travel Time

You almost always have a very limited amount of time in a cruise port. Do you really want to spend four or more of those hours on a bus just getting to and from your destination? Chances are, you'll only have a couple hours at whatever ruins or site you're headed to if you have a 2- or 3-hour bus ride there. Unless the destination is on your bucket list and you don't think you'll ever get back there, don't spend most of your port time in transit.

2. Excursions Involving Mistreated Animals

Excursions involving animals seem like dreams, especially when you get to swim with dolphins or horseback ride along a tropical beach. But you need to do your research thoroughly before you book any activity involving animals on a cruise. Too often, the animals are mistreated or not well cared-for, and as an animal lover, that's not something you want to support. In the case of swim-with-dolphins activities, the Humane Society even says they're just not safe for humans or the animals .

3. Anything Beyond Your Fitness Level

You have to be honest with yourself about your (and your family's) fitness level when you book some excursions. Usually, cruise lines will indicate how strenuous an activity is, but it's ultimately up to you to know whether you'll actually be able to complete a 5K mountain hike or kayak for three hours straight. The same goes for things like ziplines if you're sometimes afraid of heights, or glass bottom boats if you easily get seasick.

4. Museum Tours

When you go to a museum shoreside, you probably don't book a tour; you just go. Why would going to a museum in a port be any different? There's no reason to pay for a tour guide and be beholden to them and the rest of the group when you can go on your own for less money. The same goes for shopping tours, where they take you only to places that give kickbacks to the cruise lines.

5. Beach Breaks

You don't need the cruise line to get you to and from the beach. There will be taxis everywhere at the port, and they will all know where the beaches are. If the "beach break" excursion is in a resort or beach that requires admission, you're going to get a much better deal if you book directly through the resort. Same goes for reserving chairs or renting snorkel equipment.

6. All-Day Tours

Marathon tours, where you do a million things in one long day, may seem like an easy way to see everything you want. But you're going to be very tired, the kids are going to be cranky, and you'll be more miserable than if you had just chosen a select one or two things to see. Chances are, lots of the eight or more hours off the ship are going to be traveling in a tour bus, and waiting for other members of your group to get back to the bus, or use the bathroom, or whatever. It ends up being a frustrating time. 

7. 'Panoramic' Bus Tours

Lots of cruise lines try to make sightseeing tours sound better than they are by calling them "panoramic" or "coach" tours. In actuality, that just means you're going to be looking at everything from a tour bus, and frankly that sucks. Plus, if you end up sitting on the wrong side of the bus, you may not even have a view of the thing you're supposed to be seeing. Talk about a ripoff. Unless you have mobility issues, avoid these at all costs.

8. Choosing Cruise-Run Tours Exclusively

Booking a shore excursion through the cruise line isn't a necessity. It does come with advantages, namely that the ship will usually wait for your group if you're late, but you'll almost always be paying a lot more money than if you booked the same or similar tour yourself. Cruise ports have massive amounts of tourists come through them, so there are plenty of independent tour guides, beaches, and activities that you can book directly for less. It's great to explore and find your own adventures on your own.

How cruisers can find culinary delights off-shore.

While most diners on cruise ships may focus on meals they can have aboard a ship at its buffets and signature restaurants, the comestible world you can explore while in port is steadily expanding. Off-shore excursions, some years ago, were more of an afterthought when it came to exploring culinary traditions in new destinations as more of them focused on outdoor excursions or cultural visits.

The current crop of cruise lines are steadily expanding their culinary and wine tasting offerings. They vary from chances to shop at local markets and then cook up the ingredients with a chef to a mescal tasting with tacos.

Where it All Started

The culinary leads on cruise ships got smart to the fact that passengers wanted more than the standard offerings. “They would ask what I was doing in port and ask if they could come,” shares Kathryn Kelley, the executive chef and general director of culinary enrichment for both the Regent and Oceania lines. She adds that she creates every single, chef-led culinary tour that the two lines do.

She adds that the lines offer 100s of culinary tours, which could include visits to olive farms, restaurants and other chef-led excursions. They program is changed up every three years and guests are advised what they can do with 4 to 6 hours in every port.

Most of the tours last four to six hours and are “created and designed around people who are super interested in wine and food.” Many of them, she notes, have traveled to these regions before. Currently the brand is focused on Europe but looking into destinations like Thailand and Japan , which are both major culinary destinations.

It Is All About Local

All the cruise line professionals I spoke to said all the excursions are created and led by local professionals. They “are always conducted in small groups and led by knowledgeable, experienced local guides,” shares Kristin Karst, the executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways.

Many of them, according to Melanie Lewis Carsjens, director of shore excursion operations and product development at Holland America, “evolve based on the needs of the guests.” On Holland America and Seabourn lines, she notes that interest in culinary experiences has grown every year and now the ships offer everything from seafood festivals in Alaska to pisco distillery tours in South America.

Melanie heads up off-shore excursions.

Karst empathizes how much planning goes into the trips. “Before introducing an excursion, our product managers test out each one… If the venue is limited in capacity then we arrange for our small groups to arrive at different times or we have several venues lined up.”

In addition, she notes, that if guests don’t want to go on excursions, “our cruise managers always have great recommendations to give them if they want to try a local restaurant in any towns or cities our ships visit. We are usually docked in the center of town so it’s easy for our guests to explore on their own.”

Many cruises offer cooking classes in a variety of ports.

Interest in digging deeper in the edible soul of a destination has even expanded into pre- and post-cruise options. According to a spokesperson from Norwegian cruise lines, they include “hotel stays, transportation, excursions and more. Cruise tours are now available across 22 destinations, such as Barcelona, Rome and even as far as Singapore, Turkey, Argentina and more, allowing guests more opportunities to immerse themselves in the destination.”
