Whether it's an exciting discovery tour through the city, a day at the beach or a visit to the zoo - the family-friendly excursions are designed so that young and old alike get their money's worth. Lots of variety, short distances and plenty of breaks ensure unforgettable holiday moments.
Simply select the "Suitable for families" category, book your favourite excursion and go on a journey of discovery together.
After booking your cruise, you can book your shore excursions in My Cruises before the start of your cruise. You can also find the exact booking date in the My Cruises portal.
