Summer ‘22 Trends: Shore Excursions!
Cruise travel has come roaring back this summer, and popular tour and activity aggregator Viator just published their list of the shore excursions that are getting the most bookings! Let’s take a look, shall we?
Italy: Private Early-Bird Vatican and Sistine Chapel
No surprise here…Italy is one of the top destinations for summer travel, and with millions of tourists flocking to the Eternal City, getting exclusive access to the sites becomes key. This excursion whisks you by private car right to the Vatican, so you can see the Sistine Chapel before the doors open to the general public.
Greece: Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon
Avoid the crowds (and the heat!) of Athens in the summer and stick close to the sea with this epic shore excursion to the nearby Cape Sounion. You’ll see everyday Greek life in the small fishing villages along the Saronic Gulf, have a fresh seafood lunch, and hear tales of the gods at the Temple of Poseidon. The 2,500-year-old temple is perched right on the cliffs overlooking the sea, an appropriate site to honor the ancient god of the sea.
Mexico: Tastes of Cabo!
Is there anything better than Mexican food? What about Mexican food in Mexico? On this shore excursion in Cabo San Lucas you’ll sample the best of the city’s food - from tacos to tamales, even local ice cream. And of course - tequila! The tour wraps up with enough time for you to do a little shopping (aka digest all that food so you can wheel yourself back to the ship!)
Alaska: Jeuneu by Helicoptor + Icefield Walk
Staying domestic this summer? You’re not alone — Alaska is expected to have its highest number of visitors ever this year! Make the most of your time there by seeing Alaska from the air on a helicopter ride. After soaring above glaciers and the stunning Alaskan wilderness, your pilot will touch down on the ice field itself and let you walk the glacier. Bring a water bottle and you can even drink glacier water right from the source!
