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.

Satisfy your curiosity with experienced lecturers and experts on board. Whether it’s an interesting presentation about the ports you are about to visit or special expert excursions focusing on art or architecture, you have some inspiring encounters to look forward to.
