Shore Tours
A Fred. Olsen cruise holiday is always relaxing, but there are also opportunities to explore new places and meet new people. In fact, we can't think of a better way to see so much in one cruise holiday.
Our cruises have been carefully designed to show you as many interesting destinations as possible, from pretty little villages perched cliff-side in the Norwegian Fjords, to European capital cities. So that you can get the most out of your experiences ashore, we offer a range of half and full-day Shore Tours in almost all ports of call.
Cruising soon?
You can view, plan and book your shore tours from approximately 12 weeks prior to your cruise. You will receive an email to your registered email address once tours are viewable and bookable via your My Cruises account.
Making the most of your time ashore
A wide range of tours suit all interests and tastes, from gentle panoramic sightseeing tours to energetic adventure tours! If you would like to try something different which is not listed in the tour programme for your cruise, please do not hesitate to contact our Destination Experience department on 01473 746 163 to discuss your requirements (Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00hrs).
We will liaise with the local tour provider on your behalf. Where possible entrance tickets this purchased in advance, so you do not lose valuable time queuing. The local tour providers also look to negotiate special opening times when required, so you can visit those important attractions that may be typically closed on certain days.
You can relax whilst we make it happen
Booking a tour through Fred. Olsen means you can be certain that guides and transportation will be waiting for you on the quayside, allowing you to make the most of your time in the destination. In the event your tour is delayed in returning to the port, our ship will still be waiting for you.
Although cruise itineraries are planned in advance some unforeseen circumstances can sometimes result in an itinerary change. Rest assured that if this should occur we will refund any pre-booked tours that you miss and the tour provider will endeavour to put a new programme of activities in place for the revised port of call, ensuring you still enjoy your cruise.
Planning with you in mind
Detailed descriptions for each tour allows you to judge if the tour is right for you before you decide to book, and with a variety of tours on offer, you are sure to find something of interest, whether you are travelling alone or with others.
By pre-booking your tours before you set sail, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are booked on the tours of your choice, allowing you more time to relax and soak up the atmosphere on board.
