25Explorations!
- Where We Were
- Traditionally, shore excursions were limited in
scope, concentrating on sightseeing tours (3 5
per port) that whilst informative, were very
sedate. - Our objective was to therefore meet the ever
growing demands of our Explorer mindset guests
and to expand the traditional tour offerings.
26Explorations!
- The Expansion
- Tour offerings have increased by over 80 in the
last 5 years. - We now offer an average of 16 tours per port
(some ports have as many as 30 tours). - Active tours make up over 60 of our new
offerings and vary from Glacier Trekking in
Alaska, Zip Lining in Costa Rica, Canoeing on
Copenhagens Canals, Hiking Mt. Vesuvius in
Naples to Manning a Thoroughbred 80 ft Racing
Maxi Cat in the Caribbean.
