We are very happy to offer you the opportunity to reserve select shore excursions in advance to enhance your cruise. Compared to similar tours offered by the ship, we offer better tours at competitive prices, providing an experience the cruise tours simply can't match. Because you will be touring with fellow members of your conference and their families, you'll have the chance to "see the sights" in the company of your colleagues. Please reserve your excursion at least 10 days before sailing to ensure we can accommodate you.
