Shore Excursions Group
About Our Excursions
We provide a wide variety of exciting and enriching shore excursions - 4,500 excursions in over 300 ports worldwideHow do we have the best shore excursions?
While other companies sell cruises and other forms of travel, we focus exclusively on shore excursions. We utilize this expertise to select the highest quality shore excursions delivered by local experts in the most cost effective manner for our customers. Since we are not a large cruise line catering to thousands of customers per day, our cruise excursions packages allow you to travel in much smaller groups offering a more personalized experience. We offer a large number of unique cruise excursions that cannot be purchased from the cruise line. We encourage you to browse through the wide variety of excursions or call us for personal advice.
Cruise Excursion Sizes
Private
Private Shore Excursions allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your shore tour. For groups of 4 or more, we can usually arrange a private shore excursion for less than the cost of a large cruise line tour.
Small Group
We offer two types of excursions; Small and Standard. Our Small group excursions are tailored to groups of 2-20 people. These tours are smaller than those offered by cruise lines and offer the unique ability to provide a more personalized experience. Our Standard excursions cater to groups of 20-50 people, which are similar in size to the tours offered by cruise lines. While Standard tours are tailored for larger groups, we focus on an extremely high level of quality and service.
Standard
Standard Shore Excursions typically range from 20-50 people. These tours are similar in size to those of the cruise lines. While these day excursions are larger in size, our focus on quality remains extremely high.

Our trip to Alaska in August 2024 was unforgettable, and it was all thanks to our incredible travel agent Deborah! From start to finish, every detail was perfectly planned — from breathtaking glacier tours and wildlife excursions to cozy accommodations and seamless transportation. She listened carefully to what we wanted and created a customized itinerary that gave us the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Her knowledge of Alaska was impressive, and her personal recommendations made all the difference — especially the insider tips on the best local dining and scenic stops. We never had to worry about a thing, and every connection and excursion went off without a hitch. We’ve already booked our next trip, and we’ll definitely be using Deborah again. Highly recommend to anyone planning an Alaskan getaway — you won’t be disappointed!
