SAILING NEXT YEAR? EARLY BOOKING IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
We highly recommend that you book our shore excursions now if you will be taking a cruise in 2024. 2023 has already seen large crowds, and 2024 will see even more. We expect many tourists will be unable to book their shore excursions in 2024, so please make your plan as soon as possible.
