Shore Excursions:

Here are some great reasons to pre-book with Cantrav:

  • Avoid the Lines – Let your clients enjoy their first day on board exploring the ship, instead of waiting in line at the Shore Excursion Desk. 
  • Peace of Mind - All our tours are planned and confirmed before you sail. There is no chance of disappointment due to a sell-out on board the ship.
  • Fully Refundable - If your tour is cancelled due to bad weather or if the ship misses the port, your client’s money will be refunded.
  • Easy to Order – Online - it's safe, secure, and convenient

Are my client’s credit cards safe?

Your information is safe with us.  Your credit card number is transmitted across the Internet via our secure server lines and is fully protected once we receive it.

Please see our Privacy Statement for further details.

Are your shore excursions the same ones offered by the cruise lines?

In many cases, we do offer the same shore excursions that the cruise lines offer and we use the same suppliers.  However, we are flexible in which tour suppliers we use (as long as they adhere to our strict supplier qualifications) and we can often offer shore excursions that are not available on all cruise lines.  Should you want a shore excursion that you can’t find on our site, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Will tours be cancelled because of bad weather?
Most of the tours will operate rain or shine, so be prepared for all weather conditions. However, because of the nature of some tours, especially helicopter and flightseeing tours, it is possible that they may be cancelled for safety reasons due to bad weather.  Should this happen, you will receive a full refund for that tour.
 

Can I book more than one excursion?
Yes, of course you can book more than one excursion.  We try to offer a variety of departure times on each excursion to permit you to participate in more than one if you wish, and the ships are often in port long enough to allow this.  However, we caution that you make sure the tours that you book fall within the times that your ship is in port.
 

What should my clients wear on shore excursions?

Tours may require walking; some excursions require extensive walking.  We highly recommend comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes.  Weather conditions can be variable and change very quickly, especially in Alaska.  For all tours, we recommend that you dress comfortably in layers, with a windproof / waterproof jacket. 

Should my clients tip the Guide/Driver?

Gratuities are not included in the tour pricing.  Should you choose to provide a gratuity, please feel free to do so at your own discretion.
