Guided shore excursions
At the centre of it all, not just taking part
During your cruise, you can enjoy a wide selection of organised shore excursions (subject to a charge). See the most important sights, for example, on classic scenic journeys or city tours. Get to know the countries and their people during sporty activities such as snorkelling, hiking or bicycle tours or see the world from a new perspective on flights or boat tours. We are also pleased to go that extra mile on your behalf with special arrangements, such as organising special opening times at important cultural venues or exclusive concerts in an unusual setting.
You can see which excursions are planned for your cruise in the shore excursion brochure, which you will receive about three months before your cruise. Then you can prebook your required excursions prior to departure at your travel agency or at My booking. Naturally, you can also still decide once on board (subject to availability).
Organised shore activities*
Our classic excursions will give you your first impressions of the region. For those who prefer to be active and get to know a country and its people from a new perspective, we also provide adventure trips and active tours, such as hiking, Segway, boat and kayak tours and snorkelling.
Zodiac trips
Our Zodiacs will take you to hidden places and areas that are difficult to access, take you on further where other ships have to turn back and enable you to go ashore in places that may otherwise seem impossible. Your experiences in these places will become unforgettable memories. Let the Zodiacs take you straight into your next adventure, such as into the network of tributaries on the Amazon, to idyllic beaches in the South Seas or in search of impressive glacial landscapes. Experienced experts will always be on hand to show you what to look out for. These experiences are part of all of our expedition cruises and are also included in the cruise price on selected EUROPA and EUROPA 2 cruises. See things up-close in far-flung places – and experience new worlds.
Expert excursions*
Insider tips from knowledgeable experts open up some exceptional experiences of architecture, art or history. Doors to gardens, museums and churches that remain closed to others will often be opened – come and take a look behind the scenes.
Renowned experts joining you on board will share their extensive knowledge with you in some interesting lectures. They will also guide shore excursions, pointing out things that normal visitors might not otherwise notice. Experiences in small groups that make a big impression.
eco-excursions*
The protection of nature is very important to us and it is an integral part of our concept. We therefore focus strongly on the environment for our sustainable eco excursions. Discover our planet’s most beautiful regions on foot, by bicycle or with low-carbon transport. Alternatively, you can reach the nearby natural environments and the starting points for tour experiences with just a short transfer.
bike tours*
Discover our exciting destinations actively from a completely new perspective. Our bike guide will show you the most beautiful and interesting places in the world - often off the beaten track. You can choose from a wide range of tours* with different levels of difficulty. Would you like to start actively on a mountain bike or do you prefer an assisted e-bike? Our bike guide on board will be happy to advise you on which tour with which bike will give you the best riding experience. We recommend that you bring your own bike clothing. A cycle helmet and a sports rucksack are provided on board, as well as water and energy bars. SPD clipless pedals can also be fitted on request.
You are welcome to bring your own bike clothing with you. On board, we will provide you with a bike helmet and a sports rucksack, as well as a bottle of water and an energy bar.

These shore excursions include transfers, green fees, balls for the driving range, trolleys or e-carts (subject to availability). An expert PGA golf professional will take care of the organisation and warm-up on site.

Kids' and teens' excursions*
These excursions are designed especially for children and work perfectly without parents, such as when we go to see the penguins and turtles in New Zealand, explore Barcelona by way of a photo safari or enjoy the fine weather swimming and snorkelling off Langkawi. The childcare service will ensure that they take sun cream and drinks, for example, depending on what it is on the programme.
Teens can descend in a submarine to view the brightly coloured underwater world of the Caribbean, or race to Paphos beach on a mountain-bike tour and much more. And if the family is travelling together, we might, for instance, demonstrate our skills on the climbing course just outside Oslo, marvel at the sights of London from the height of a massive Ferris wheel, or set out on a real adventure through the rain forest of Puerto Rico.
events
During your cruise, look forward to some lovely surprises with a succession of carefully organised events, such as a barbecue on a remote beach, exclusive concerts at special locations or local folk groups to welcome you at the pier. Time and again, our on-board team will prepare some unforgettable moments for you.
