1. Definitions

  • Pre and Post Cruise Tours: These tours are specially designed to enhance the cruise experience by offering additional exploration opportunities either before the cruise departs or after the cruise concludes at the final port. Guests can enjoy discovering unique destinations, immersing themselves in local cultures, or engaging in tailored activities, perfectly complementing their overall travel itinerary.
  • Overland Tours: During the cruise, guests have the opportunity to embark on an Overland Tour, which allows them to temporarily leave the ship at one port for a multi-day exploration of exciting destinations. After completing the overland journey, guests rejoin the cruise at another port within the itinerary. This ensures that participants can experience unique inland adventures without missing out on the main cruise highlights, including scheduled onboard activities or bucket-list destinations.
  • Private Tours: Exclusive tours designed for individuals or small groups, ensuring a customized experience.
  • Shore Excursions: Short, guided trips at port destinations, typically conducted during a cruise stop.
