Enrichment On board, local historians and naturalists will share their first hand knowledge to give you a better understanding of the region's cultural heritage, ecology and rich history. Each evening, the onboard tour manager goes over the details of the following day's excursions. At that time, you may choose your preferred time slot for the next day's adventure. Excursions Days in port outnumber your days at sea, and at least one excursion is included when you're docked or anchored. Guests are invited to venture out at each port and enjoy a Hop-On-Hop-Off Shore Excursion in the comfort of a luxury motor coach. Individual headsets are used on some tours and can be recharged in your stateroom nightly. All passengers are welcome to participate and there are no distinctions for activity levels. All tours include some walking, but you may go at your own pace and choose to sit at any section of the tour. After tours, cruisers will often have an hour or two of free time to explore. Optional Premium Experiences Guests also have the opportunity to partake in an optional premium experience in each city. This collection of shore excursions allows guests a more explorative adventure while in port. Details of these excursions are noted within each itinerary. |
