Onshore Explorations

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.

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:

• Highlights: These excursions showcase iconic landmarks, renowned attractions and must-see sights.
• Local Discoveries: These experiences provide deeper cultural immersion through local traditions, cuisines, communities and history.
• Active Adventures: These activities are ideal for travellers seeking a more energetic experience, with options that may include hiking, cycling, kayaking and other outdoor pursuits.

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.
