dock Posted July 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Hi, Has anyone used the Executive Collection option to book excursions.I’m curious as to how it worked and price point. Our cruise goes to Heraklion ( Crete). Ive done Crete on a land based trip so was hoping this time to go to the leper colony . Access is via Plaka ( Agios Nikolaos) which is about 50 minutes away from Heraklion. Thanks for any info. Edited July 23, 2023 by dock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare msn123 Posted July 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It will be much less expensive to do a bit of research and set up a private excursion doing what you want to do. Unless you have tons of shipboard credits you are basically paying big bucks for a middleman (Oceania) to set it up for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvin81 Posted August 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Over 10 years ago we went to the leper colony (Spinalonga) ourselves. There were local companies offering the relatively short boat ride to the island. No reservations necessary. But we docked at Agios Nikolas, so it was right there. I read a book about the island before the cruise; I'm sorry I don't recall the name, but it made the stop more interesting. Well worth seeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseaholic78 Posted August 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Don’t know about the book but this BBC mini series was extremely popular and many people went to visit Crete after watching it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
