Boutique to bespoke, book the best shore excursions on your next voyage.
CRUISE SHIPS OFFER A WORLD of onboard entertainment, from live performances to gaming and friendly competitions, but part of the joy in taking a cruise is seeing the world and experiencing new places while exploring ashore. Although it’s entirely possible to head out on your own once the ship docks in its destination, booking a ship-sponsored tour or even booking through an independent tour operator proves a great, stress-free way to make the most of your time in port.
At one time, booking a shore excursion through the cruise company meant waiting in long lines and getting shuttled between tour buses by tour leaders wielding bright umbrellas or megaphones. Fortunately, those days are long gone, and many savvy cruise operators now offer boutique shore excursions and rare experiences available exclusively to cruise attendees.
