With only one day – sometimes less – to spend in each port, you’ll want
to organize your sightseeing. Thinking ahead can ensure that you have
an opportunity to see everything you want to see – and still get back
to the ship on time. Shore excursions are an excellent way to tour a port
city or an island.
There is a variety to choose from, and you’re sure to find more than one
you’re interested in. Some tours hit all the local highlights, while others
focus on one activity or on one or two places. Tour guides often take
you to out-of-the-way sites, and transportation is usually comfortable
and always reliable. In addition, many excursions include lunch as well
as a shopping stop.
If your sense of direction is less than perfect – or if you have trouble
keeping an eye on your watch – shore excursions are for you. Some shore
excursions can accommodate only a limited number of participants. Since
they are sold on a first come, first serve basis, we recommend you purchase
them as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment.
Sample Shore Excursions

Discover the hidden areas and beauty of Cozumel only available

as groups of four take control of their assigned jeeps. Our caravan is
led by our lead jeep and guide through the center of San Miguel, along
the eastern side of the island with its stretches of white sand beaches
and breathtaking views of the Caribbean. Shortly thereafter the public
road ends and the true adventure begins, traveling through the savanna
area with only iguanas and birds in sight. You'll have a brief stop at
the Mayan ruins of La Palma to acquire an understanding of Mayan civilization.
Then it is off to enjoy 1 hours of sheer tropical pleasure including a
fabulous lunch prepared right on the beach. Enjoy fresh, grilled fish

activity.
