  • Cruise name, port of call, and confirmed docking times

Planning process

Full-day excursions


Perfect for ports with longer docking times. Full-day tours allow more time for exploration and flexibility for adjustments if the ship's schedule shifts. Experiences often include meals or time for leisure when appropriate.

Half-day excursions


Ideal for shorter port calls or early departures. These itineraries focus on key highlights with limited free time. If your travelers wish to add a meal stop or extra flexibility, we can include vehicle disposal or additional transfers.

Quotation turnaround


Most Shorex quotes are ready within 3 to 5 business days. Each proposal is custom-designed to fit the confirmed cruise schedule, with attention to timing, logistics, and guest preferences.
