Five Of The Best Shore Excursions For Travellers On Cruises
With cruise deals offering competitive prices, extensive itineraries and a whole ship-load of entertainment and luxury, it’s easy to see why cruising is becoming one of the favourite ways to travel. Stop in ports of call across the globe and best of all, experience something amazing with a pre-booked day excursion. Some of the most exciting day trips are listed below:
Anyone who loves animals will be spoilt for choice when it comes to seeing wildlife, and if your cruise stops in the Falkland islands, it’s penguins on the excursion menu. Visitors are driven out to the coastal colonies of Rockhopper penguins and have the chance to watch them in their natural surroundings. For fascinating creatures in New Zealand, make sure any stops in Auckland includes a day trip to the town of Waitomo, a little way south and home to glow worms. Take a guided boat ride through a system of huge limestone caves, all lit up with real glow worms, and afterwards stop for a home-cooked lunch with world renowned New Zealand wine.
Anyone who has heard of Petra will not want to miss the opportunity to see it for themselves, and as many cruises stop here, it’s certainly an option. One of the world’s greatest archaeological wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Petra was carved straight from the rock in the side of a mountain and visitors can only reach it via a gap in the rock. For a more hands-on slice of history, take a pizza-making excursion in Naples, where pizza was first invented. Naples’ old quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and here you can visit a real Neopolitan pizzeria and discover how pizzas are made. If it’s glamour and excitement you want, turn your visit to Monte Carlo, in Monaco, into an unforgettable day out with a helicopter ride. Not everyone gets to see Monaco from above, and you can look down on the multi-million-dollar yachts and feel like one of the regulars.
