Family fun? It’s a shore thing!

1. Appetite for adventure

St Marteen

Take to two wheels for the ride of a lifetime on the Paradise Harley adventure in St Maarten. Imagine the wind in your hair and the sun shining on your face as you drive across coast and countryside on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, past picturesque sights such as Fort Louis, Maho and Mullet Bay and Marigot, the French capital.

Bergen

Fly high above the beautiful city of Bergen on the Zip-lining at Mount Ulriken shore experience. From a height of 643m, you’ll soar 300m on Norway’s fastest zip-line while taking in panoramic views across the fjordic landscape and out towards the North Sea.

Split

Want to make a splash? Try the Cetina River Rafting adventure in Split. Paddles at the ready as you head into the beautiful Biokovo Nature Park, climb aboard your inflatable raft and embark on a thrilling descent downriver. At the picturesque 17th-century Radman’s Mills, your reward awaits: a delicious lunch followed by a woodland stroll or a refreshing swim.

2. Sporting pursuits

Monte Carlo

The roaring engines, the smoking tires, the impeccable driving – Formula One is the world’s greatest racing series, and the Monaco Grand Prix is the most famous street circuit on the calendar. On the Walking the Formula One shore experience in Monte Carlo, you’ll follow part of the track on foot and visit the Prince of Monaco’s Private Classic Car Collection, which boasts more than 100 vintage and veteran cars.

Barcelona

Football fans won’t want to miss the FC Barcelona Stadium Tour. You’ll visit Europe’s largest football stadium, Camp Nou, where you can walk in the footsteps of Messi and Maradona. Visit the away-team’s dressing room, walk through the players’ tunnel, check out the media area and stroll around the museum to see the club’s trophies up close. 

Azores

Tee up a winning day on shore in the Azores. Golf at Batalha in Ponta Delgada takes you to a stunning 27-hole golf course that’s laid out over 120 hectares of large flowing greens, wide and generous fairways and sinuously contoured bunkers, all nestled on the skirts of the surrounding hills and with sweeping views of the ocean.

3. Culture club

Helsinki

Gastronomic globetrotters know the best way to discover a destination is through its food. Savour the flavours of Helsinki with A Taste of Finland – you’ll enjoy a fascinating tour of the city’s key sights and a visit to a local restaurant, where you can taste Finnish delicacies such as smoked fish, cheese and pastries.

Rome

For a taste of history, journey back to ancient Rome with Glories of the Gladiators. The highlight of the tour is the Colosseum, where you’ll see the marble seats that accommodated more than 50,000 spectators, the subterranean passageways that lead to holding chambers, and the 76 numbered entrances that allowed access for eager crowds.

4. Under the sun

Mykonos

For the quintessential Greek island getaway, the Mykonos Beach Break hits the spot: long stretches of golden sands border crystal-clear turquoise waters, all under glorious Mykonos sunshine. Try your hand at a variety of watersports, sample some traditional Greek mezze dishes at a beachfront taverna, or simply sit back and watch the world go by.
 

St Lucia

Sit back, relax and take in the natural beauty of St Lucia on the Cruise to the Pitons adventure. You’ll sail along St Lucia’s west coast by catamaran, passing quaint villages, beautiful bays and the pièce de résistance – the majestic Pitons. Afterwards, enjoy snacks, rum punch and a refreshing swim to the sound of Caribbean music.

These experiences may not be available on every cruise.
