ASHORE

Make room for the moments ashore

Balance guided discoveries, free time, and a comfortable pace.

You don’t have to do everything to have an amazing day ashore. Start with the experiences you would regret missing, then leave a little room around them.

Read the activity notes

Look for walking distance, uneven surfaces, stairs, coach time, and time standing. An attractive tour title cannot tell you whether its pace will suit you. Ask about alternatives if an excursion’s demands are unclear.

Confirm what is included

Review your sailing’s current excursion program and any optional charges. Do not assume every tour is included or that a particular experience will operate on every departure.

Protect your free time

Resist filling every available hour. A café stop, a quiet museum visit, or a walk at your own pace may be as memorable as a scheduled highlight. Always confirm the ship’s all-aboard time and allow a sensible margin to return.
