The initial layers of a destination—its people, its buildings, its shops—are obvious to anyone, but true travel inspiration is more than just a pretty view. It’s found when you dive deeper beneath the surface. Authentic travel moments transpire when you feel completely immersed in a destination, and it’s what you’ll find when you sail the world with us.

Our expert team of culture connoisseurs have contracted with independent, reputable tour operators to offer exceptional new shore excursions for those who are well-traveled—and travel well. Stargaze surrounded by otherworldly landscapes in Chile with our Stay Local tour series, or Discover the culinary fusion of Persian and Indian cultures with a family in Mumbai when you Taste Local.

Longer stays and more overnights mean more cultural immersion. That's why we spend more time in port than any other cruise line. That's why you can experience more destinations after the sun goes down. Because it’s not enough to see something. You have to smell it, hear it, taste it, and most of all, feel it.

See the world from a fresh perspective with our enhanced Cruise Global, Connect Local^SM shore excursion collection.
