When can I view and book the Shore Tours on my cruise?
Please note that Shore Tours are not included within the price of your cruise.
Shore Tours – start planning your adventures!
- Get ready to make the most of every destination! You’ll be able to browse and book Shore Tours online from around 12 weeks before your cruise.
- If you’ve shared your email with us, keep an eye on your inbox — our Destination Experience team will let you know when tours are ready to view and book via My Cruises on our website.
- Your journey guide will be sent to you in the post around 12 weeks before your cruise departure. It will be packed with all the tour options and helpful info.

- The cost of the shore tour is the same if you either book pre-cruise or when on board.
