PROGRAMS
Shore tours allow you to visit a destination more in
depth. It may be a relaxing trip to the beach, a wine
tasting with sweeping views of the vineyard, a guided
tour of a medieval castle, or any number of other
options that bring the destination to life.
When you select a shore tour (also known as a shore
excursion), aside from having a great experience, you
want the peace of mind knowing you are working with
a reliable tour operator and that you will return to
the ship on time. For that reason, it is very important
to select shore excursions that are recommended and
booked by a knowledgeable cruise consultant.
