firsttimer1971 Posted June 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 My cruise is well over a year away so I understand that the excursions are not yet available, but I was wondering how many months in advance you normally would be able to book any excursions?

iceman93 Posted June 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2022 In my experience, they are actually posted more than a year before departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firsttimer1971 Posted June 21, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Thank you, @iceman93. As I said, my (first) cruise is well over a year away so I will just check on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those excursions involving flights have few seats so early booking is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted June 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Recently some cruises have been slow to add all excursions and historically there can be late additions to the list. If it is important to you book ASAP. Read the fine print carefully but most excursions can be cancelled prior to the cruise with no penalty if you choose another option. reasons people wait: looking for a sale on excursions or on gift cards, waiting to use OBC reason to book early: selling out and in the current environment increased prices. I have seen excursions increase in price recently , I assume for increased transportation costs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to miss out on some excursions: I have checked the Excursions on https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/shore-excursions.html and made a list of excursions I want to book once available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
