Self-Guided Excursion

Guests who do not join these prearranged shore excursions must rely on whatever transportation is available in each port. If you choose to devise your own excursion, we suggest that you remind the driver or tour escort of the ship’s sailing time. Of course, the ship’s facilities are fully available to guests while in port.

Conditions

Shore excursions are “Non-Windstar Services” for the purposes of your Cruise Contract. This means that shore excursions are not owned or operated by Windstar Cruises. Refer to your Cruise Contract for a full statement of your rights and obligations as well as those of the Owner of the Ship, Windstar Cruises and certain other persons and entities with respect to Non-Windstar Services. In particular, please note that you are assuming the entire risk of utilizing Non-Windstar Services subject only to whatever terms or arrangements are made by you or on your behalf with the third party furnishing the Non-Windstar Services. Windstar Cruises does not assume liability for injuries or damages that occur during or as a result of shore excursions, nor is Windstar Cruises liable for loss of or damage to any baggage or other property which occurs ashore, for any reason whatsoever. Shore excursions are subject to cancellations or changes. Shore excursion operators reserve the right to deny participation to guests based on such criteria as they may establish. For children 12 years of age or younger, participation in shore excursions is pending final approval from the tour operator. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult aged 21 or older.

While on Tour

Guests are cautioned not to leave anything behind while sightseeing, especially such items as cameras and raingear and are reminded that Windstar Cruises is not liable for any lost items or damage to any baggage or other property which occurs ashore, for any reason whatsoever. Passengers who leave during a tour for which transportation is included must thereafter provide for their own transportation and services at their own expense.

Online Bookings

At the time of making your reservations online, we will advise you whether or not your reservations are confirmed. Your credit card will be charged immediately for all confirmed reservations. Should space become available for a waitlisted shore excursion request, we will email or otherwise contact you at that time. If you or Windstar cancel a tour more than 5 business days prior to cruise departure, we will issue a credit on the credit card that you used to pay for the reservation. For any cancellations within 5 days of departure, a credit will not be given on your credit card; instead, we will apply an ONBOARD CREDIT ONLY policy under which the refund (less any cancellation fee) will show up as a credit to the shipboard account of the person who was to take the shore excursion. If the credit is not fully utilized during the cruise, the balance will be credited back to your credit card by the ship’s purser.

Cancellation Fees

Rates and descriptions are current as of the printing date. Prices are subject to change without notice and descriptions may vary from the actual tour provided. If you cancel your tour reservation after the booking deadline stated in the Shore Excursion Booking Form on board, a 100% cancellation fee will apply since transportation and services will have already been arranged.

Tour Times, Durations & Prices

The information in this brochure is designed to help you select the excursions most suited to your interests. The individual tour descriptions include approximate durations. To allow flexibility in customizing departure times to coordinate your time in port with the meals and activities on the ship, exact tour departure times are published in the Shore Excursion Planning Form on board. For more information, please visit the Reception Desk or attend the onboard Shore Excursion briefings.
Please Note: Tour durations do not include tender time.

Tour Headsets

On several tours, headset monitors will be issued at the beginning to enhance your Windstar tour experience. Each headset must be returned to the guide or escort at the end of the tour. There will be a $50 charge for any headset that is lost or damaged.
