2552phxcrzr Posted July 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Regardless of whether I actually book the ship's shore excursions, I always take a look at them as a starting point for my research of things to do in port. I can see shore excursions for my cruise (or any others) online, but is there a place to download a brochure? We live and travel fulltime in our motorhome and internet can be iffy in some places and a downloaded copy can be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can view the Oceania brochures online ...is that what you are looking for? Or stop at a brick & mortar TA & pick one up Your TA can email you a list of shore excursions for your cruise which you could print off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a shore ex brochure/pdf for specific cruises that I can download so I don't have to stay online. I'll see about printing the list and details if no other option exists.

2552phxcrzr Posted July 31, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Have you asked your TA or maybe Oceania can email you the PDF fie for your cruise Yes, I've got a message into her. I was just hoping I was overlooking something on the web and could get it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted July 31, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I've never seen such a thing as a downloadable brochure, which is not to say it does not exist ... just that I haven't seen it. But the reason I think that it doesn't exist is because I have always gone to the specific cruise I am taking to check on available ship's tours. As with others, we only rarely take ship's tours but I use what they are doing as a basis for my own research. Sometimes, especially if it's well in advance of the departure date, not all tours are available. Often when that is the case I go to a previous sailing of the same itinerary to see what was available then. That's the main reason why I think that a comprehensive brochure of tours is just not there. Lyn's idea was good, I think, because it's quite possible that Oceania has something they could email to you. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey47 Posted July 31, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I received the above guide through the post 2 weeks ago for our cruise on Nautica on the 8th Sept. It has full details of all tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted July 31, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, that's true -- the vacation booklet includes tour information. But I believe that the OP wanted to be able to have the information while he is not at home. And more to the point, well in advance of the cruise, not shortly before.

Mura Yes, I was hoping to have it well in advance of the cruise to help with planning what we want to do on shore. Our nomadic lifestyle -- living and traveling in a motorhome -- adds a complication in that our mail has to be forwarded to us. Plus, we're sometimes simply not in places with good internet signal. Our upcoming Nautica cruise will be all DIY and I pretty much know what we will be doing. We'll just have to make sure we are in locales with good internet when we get to the planning stage for the 2017 RTW. Thanks for the information everyone.

phillygirl63 Posted July 31, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My PC emailed to me a comprehensive pdf of the shore excursions just after booking, which was over 7 months in advance. There should be no problem with a TA doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
