Guaranteed on-time return for Private and Bus shared excursions

When you book a qualifying shore excursion with SmartCruiseTours.com, you are guaranteed you'll make it back to your ship on time.
A bit of background info: cruise line companies do not make their profits on the sale of the cruise packages, but on the extras, namely the tour excursions and the additional services offered aboard. In return for the higher price on shore excursions they guarantee that they will wait if something happens and the tour is delayed. Don't be intimidated by this cruise line scare tactics. Our qualifyed tours are offered in partnership with the same operators used by the Cruise Lines (but without the hefty mark ups).  These tours have never missed a ship in over 10 years of operation. This is because if there are problems with the roads the driver gets notified and takes alternative routes. And if all roads are blocked  (which so far has not happened), then the cruise lines tours are delayed as well and the ship has to wait. But you may ask, what if a bus or car breaks down? This possibility is covered as well, as we have a large fleet of vehicles available, and if one goes out of service it gets quickly replaced.
 
Applicability
The On Time Return Guarantee is available only on qualifying purchases. To qualify, the shore excursion must specifically state it is covered by On Time Return Guarantee. Other services, like Excursions by train, are not guaranteed.
Guarantee applies only to our qualifying shore excursions and only when, through no fault or action of your own, you are not returned to the ship in time to board. The Guarantee is void in instances where delay is caused by your own actions and/or you have deviated from the SmartCruiseTours activity or tour.

Skip the Interminable Lines and Save time with Advanced Booking

We know that you have no time to waste. Enjoying a hassle-free excursion is impossible when everything you want to do requires a long waiting line. As a matter of fact most train stations and ticket offices will have you stand in line from 30 minutes to 2 hours in order to get your ticket, or entrance pass! Purchasing in advance from SmartCruiseTours.com will resolve this problem completely. No more waiting in line!
