Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Charter a private crewed catamaran to secluded coves invisible from the main beaches, snorkeling reef walls in near-empty water before a champagne sunset sail back.
Ascend Gaudí's masterpiece before public entry, walking the nave in near silence with an expert guide, then climb a tower for rooftop views.
Skip the crowds with a timed-entry, expert-led visit into Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, culminating in a lift ride up one of the soaring towers over Barcelona.
Charter a small open speedboat with a local captain to hop between uncrowded cays, snorkeling reefs no shuttle boat reaches, away from the main beaches.
A chauffeured half-day into the Provençal hills for a private truffle-hunt with trained dogs and a seated tasting at a family-run wine estate.
A private car and driver trace the cliffside coastal road, with stops in Ravello's gardens and Positano's vertical streets, paced entirely around you.
Sail the roadless, cliff-lined Nā Pali coastline on a small-capacity catamaran, with a chance of spinner dolphins and whales, ending under a Kauai sunset.
A traditional tea ceremony conducted by a certified tea master in a centuries-old tearoom, an intimate ritual rarely opened to outside groups.
Wander the Marrakech medina's souks with a local food expert, then cook a multi-course Moroccan meal in a private riad courtyard kitchen.
Cruise Montenegro's fjord-like bay by private yacht, stopping at the tiny island church of Our Lady of the Rocks and the walled town of Perast.
A private open-vehicle game drive with a specialist ranger through a Big Five reserve within striking distance of Cape Town's port.
Charter a private sportfishing boat with a veteran local captain chasing marlin, dorado, and tuna in the waters off Land's End.
