Tip: Once you find a sailing you like, jot it down on your Cruise Overview page in the Printable Bundle.

2. Browse Excursions by Port

Once your cruise is picked, it’s time to plan ports. Use a trusted excursion platform to find tours,
beach breaks, and activities that match your vibe.

  • Filter by activity type (relaxing, adventure, family-friendly, cultural).
  • Read recent reviews and check cancellation policies.
  • Compare ship-sponsored vs. independent options.

Tip: For each port, fill in the Port-Day Planner sheet from your Printable Bundle
with meeting times, meeting points, and “must-pack” items.

3. Mix Ship Excursions with DIY Days

Not every port day has to be a paid excursion. Mix in DIY days to stroll the port area, find a local beach,
or enjoy quieter time on the ship.

  • Use DIY days for budget-friendly exploring and free sights.
  • On “big” bucket-list ports, consider more structured tours.
  • Always confirm last tender/boarding time and keep ship’s time.

Use the notes section of your Port-Day Planner page to write backup plans in case of bad weather or sold-out tours.

Plan your whole trip on paper (or tablet) so you’re not scrambling the night before port.
