A lot of that is really up to you! Most ships include a program of their shore excursions with your cruise documents but if not, you will have one in your cabin when you board the ship. Sailing and snorkeling excursions are lots of fun and much easier than trying to arrange them yourself. Some of the islands & ports that are easy to explore on your own (by cab, or even on foot in some places) are: St. Thomas, Grand Cayman, Key West, Freeport, Cozumel, San Juan, Bermuda, Canadian ports especially Quebec City, Greneda and St. Barts. If you’re not the real adventurous type, consider a shore excursion in at least one port. We have information on all the Caribbean islands, Cozumel/Cancun, Bermuda, Hawaii, Alaska and Canada.

Remember though, things have changed in our world today. There is a lot of unrest in many countries and ports of call. We highly recommend that you book your “shore excursions” with the cruise line. If you’d like to get a little more information before you go, just contact us. Although you may save some money by booking your own shore excursion, please be aware that if you miss your cruise ship because you booked your own shore excursion with an outside company, you are on your own. This can be a very expensive ordeal. Booking passage from any port of call to either fly to the mainland or to meet the ship at the next port of call can be very expensive.
