Half the fun of taking a cruise nowadays are the individual tours available at each port of call. The variety of activities are endless, and NCL is an industry leader in interesting things to do. If you’re planning an NCL cruise or you’re already booked, the first place to start planning your fun would be the Shore Excursions pages at the NCL website. They sell out fast, and you can book now to reserve your spot up to 4 days prior to your sailing date. Click here to print a full list of Shore Excursions for your sailing.

And just in case you’re thinking about chancing it with an independent tour operator, you may want to think again. Here’s why:

Safe, reliable, licensed and insured.
That’s what all NCL tour operator partners are. Taking a tour with someone else may save a few bucks, but the risks outnumber the savings.

Choices, convenience, expert advice.
At NCL’s onboard Shore Excursion Desk, there are tons of tours to choose from and they’ll help you decide the best one for you and your budget. The other guys don’t take the time to be an advisor, they just want the sale.

One price, no surprises.
With NCL, there are no hidden fees. Other tour operators charge extra for transfers, entrance fees and more.

Sharing’s good (but not when it comes to credit card numbers).
Book a shore excursion through NCL and it’s conveniently charged to your onboard account. Book with someone else and you’ll be giving your credit card number to a stranger (and that could be big problems in a foreign country or in an unfamiliar place).

Make the most of your day.
No need to waste time sitting through hard-selling timeshare presentations as part of your tour. With NCL, you can just enjoy your day and have fun.

Why wander - we’re right here.
It’s not really a chariot, but we do offer convenient pick-up and drop-off right at the pier. You’ll never wander around an unfamiliar port searching and waiting for your group.

Change happens - enjoy peace of mind.
Miss a Shore Excursion due to unexpected changes in our itinerary? No problem. We’ll be happy to credit your onboard account, reschedule your excursion or assist in your selection of an alternate one. Why shouldn’t it be that easy? With those other guys, trust us, it wouldn’t be.

So, now you know - there’s simply no better choice for booking a shore excursion than with NCL. Reliable operators, no hidden fees, fantastic adventures, and best of all - no worries! We want you to be 100% satisfied so you’ll join us in every port, or on another NCL cruise. So, stop by the Shore Excursion desk and book your shore excursions today. You’ll be glad you did.
