Activity levels

  • Light·About 3–4.5 hours
    Mostly travelling by car, boat or air, stopping to visit or taste along the way. Little walking.
  • Moderate·About 4–6 hours
    Includes a stretch of walking through old towns, villages or grounds, with cobbles and slopes.
  • Strenuous·About 5–9 hours
    Close to a full day, with long stretches on foot, often in national parks or large archaeological sites. Stamina and proper shoes needed.

These level descriptions are our own summary of the durations and content in the brochures; the cruise line labels each excursion but does not define the levels.

Three assurances from the cruise line

  • If an excursion cannot proceed because the sailing changes, you receive a full refund to your original form of payment.
  • Operators are fully licensed and highly rated, with an emphasis on authentic experiences and responsible tourism.
  • Every excursion is reserved for guests of the yacht only.

Shore experiences are operated and sold by the cruise line. What is offered, and what it costs, differs from voyage to voyage and is confirmed by the cruise line at the time of booking. Ask your advisor and we will check a specific sailing for you.
