Tips for booking third-party excursions:

Booking third-party excursions can be a great way to save money and enjoy a more authentic experience, but there are a few things you need to consider when booking:

• Look for a "Back-to-Ship Guarantee".
• Read the cancellation policy carefully and make sure you will be refunded if the ship does not make it to that port for some reason.
• Make sure you understand where to meet & when, and how to get there.
• Double-check to make sure the tour times work with your time in port.

We recommend booking through specific suppliers we work with regularly, as all of their options are purposefully

made to fit within the timeframe of your cruise ships schedule, that specific day in port. Please let your LV Travel

Co Designer know if you are interested in seeing these options, and they will send over their specific link.
