Athens, Greece (November 14, 2025) - Travelive, the preferred collection of DMCs specializing in tailor-made journeys across Europe and the Mediterranean, has announced the launch of its dedicated Shorex Division, created to redefine how advisors plan pre, post, and in-port experiences for cruise travelers.
The Shorex Division delivers private, fully bespoke shore experiences at key Mediterranean ports and European river gateways across Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia+, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, and Egypt. Services cover ocean and river cruises, with custom pre- and post-stay itineraries and in-port programs aligned to cruise schedules for a smooth, crowd-free experience.
Travelive's unique multi-country presence makes it the ideal partner for advisors managing itineraries that include both pre- and post-cruise stays in different countries. With locally staffed teams across some of the most requested cruise destinations in the Mediterranean and Western Europe, Travelive ensures seamless coordination, consistent service quality, and one point of contact from start to finish, whether travelers disembark in Italy and extend their journey in Greece or end a river cruise in Switzerland and continue to France.
“The Shorex Division was created to give cruise travelers more choice and depth,” said Maiko Damaliti, Senior Manager for Shorex Travel. "Every itinerary is personal and locally led. Whether it is a private tour before the crowds in Istanbul, a truffle hunt in Tuscany, or a countryside escape after a Rhine sailing, our goal is to make every shore experience feel effortless and extraordinary."
Stella Hofer, Vice President of Quality Assurance and Client Services, who oversaw the development of both the Groups and Shorex divisions, added: "Cruise travelers today expect the same personalization and attention to detail they receive on land. By dedicating a specialized team to Shorex, we are giving advisors the tools and local support they need to craft experiences that go beyond standard excursions. This is about creating access to people, places, and stories that make each stop feel unique.”
With Travelive's in-destination teams ensuring on-the-ground coordination and consistency of service, Shorex by Travelive provides a smooth, reliable, and inspiring alternative to traditional cruise excursions. The division supports both ocean and river cruises, offering handpicked experiences that reflect the rhythm and authenticity of each port.
