Episode 19 - How to Plan and Save Money on Excursions Beyond the Cruise Port
As many people are returning to the open waters and once again enjoying cruises as part of their vacation, we thought we would share some insights on how to plan and book excursions that will help you get outside of the touristy cruise terminals and enjoy the local culture and experiences. Excursions booked through the cruise line can often be very expensive. We'll share with you ways that we were able to book the exact same excursions for sometimes half the price. So pack your flip flops, bathing suits and a couple of small bags and join us as we discover excursions beyond the ports.
We use and recommend tours booked through Viator. Most have a 24 hour before cancellation policy that we love. TIP- when searching include from & the name of the cruise port city (ie. Malaga, Cadiz, Livorno, etc) and the word port
Here's some of the excursions from cruise ports we booked in the Mediterranean for our cruise:
Spain
Grenada
The Alhambra & Generalife Gardens in Grenada (we did the one from the Malaga Port)
Cadiz/Seville
