“Three days onboard and I am hooked. Vegemite for breakfast….an Australian cruise director…Love it so much we have booked Miami to New York next year!”

Explore deeper ashore with the freedom to choose from a selection of three categories of onshore exploration: classic highlights, immersive local discoveries and active adventures. With a USD$50 Onshore Explorations credit per stateroom, per port, and select itineraries offering late-night departures and rare overnight stays, Explorations by Norwegian invites you to awaken your inner explorer.
Tour classic city highlights and iconic landmarks on a Highlights excursion. Designed to showcase the must-see attractions of each destination, these signature experiences are ideal for travellers who want an effortlessly curated introduction to the region without missing key points of interest.
Immerse yourself in local culture, history and cuisine on a Local Discovery excursion. Connect with the crafts, communities and traditions that define each destination through thoughtfully-designed journeys, perfect for curious travellers seeking authentic insight beyond the highlights.
Take a more energised approach to exploration with these Active adventures. From hiking, biking and kayaking to guided outdoor pursuits, these movement-focused experiences offer a fresh perspective on every destination, best suited for those who like to engage with a destination through active exploration.
Every Explorations by Norwegian voyage includes a USD$50 Onshore Explorations credit per stateroom, per port, giving you the freedom to discover more ashore. The credit is automatically applied when booking eligible Onshore Explorations through the My Explorations portal or onboard Regatta. It is applied to the lead guest in each stateroom, and can be used towards one eligible Onshore Exploration in each port visited.
When booking an Onshore Exploration, the credit is automatically deducted from your basket, and at checkout. If your chosen experience costs more than USD$50, you’ll simply pay the difference. If your chosen experience costs less, the remaining value is forfeited. It cannot be used for independent tours or third-party bookings, or exchanged for onboard credit or cash.
Onshore Explorations can be booked from 365 days prior to your departure date, and will remain available until three days prior to departure. We recommend booking early to secure your preferred experiences, as popular options may have limited availability.
Onshore Explorations are not available on embarkation day. Eligible disembarkation onshore explorations may be available on disembarkation day. These experiences typically conclude at an airport, train station or central city location, allowing for onward travel.
If you are transitioning from one booking to another, you may be able to book an Onshore Exploration for that day via the onboard Destination Services Team. You will not be able to book Onshore Explorations for these days in the My Explorations portal.
Onshore Explorations can be viewed and booked in the My Explorations portal, or via the onboard Destination Services Team. Once your cruise is confirmed, you can browse and reserve available experiences until three days prior to departure. During the booking process, your included Onshore Explorations credit will be automatically applied to eligible excursions. We recommend booking early to secure your preferred experiences, as popular options may have limited availability.
If you wish to cancel an Onshore Exploration that you have booked, please contact your booking agent and provide the following information:
Cancellations made within 48 hours of the scheduled port day will incur a 100% cancellation fee.
Explorations by Norwegian offers a diverse range of Onshore Explorations designed to help you connect more deeply with every destination. Experiences generally fall into three categories:
Each port features a carefully curated collection of tours, allowing you to explore in a way that suits your interests.
Accessibility varies between Onshore Explorations, as each destination and experience presents different terrain, transportation and activity requirements. Some experiences are well-suited to those with reduced mobility, while others may involve walking, stairs, uneven surfaces or physically active elements.
Accessibility information is provided within individual exploration descriptions, which can be found in the My Explorations portal. Guests with mobility, sensory or other accessibility requirements are encouraged to review these details carefully prior to booking. If you require additional assistance, our team can help you identify the most suitable experiences for your needs.
