Sign in to "my account" on the O website. In "manage" your cruise, select "excursions." Prices should display once they are populated (often much later than any booking made many many months ahead.

You can also call O and often get earlier PDF drafts of the excursion lists.

not sure if you can get the same information on the UK website as the USA one

But if you select a cruise then click on the port it will bring up the excursions available in that port along with the prices

There are 3 different price points depending on if you choose a package or not

If you have the free excursions though the O life promo then just the excursions with the walking people are the free ones

 

If you cannot view the excursions on the UK site maybe your TA can get the prices for you or the PDF file as suggested above

If your cruise is in the more distant future (probably more than 6 months out), it may not yet show the excursions in your "manage my cruise" section. They are posted closer to sailing in most cases.

What ridiculous prices, one half day trip cost almost as much as the cruise fare !

Does anyone actually pay these prices ?

A few, but not many. Some are more comfortable having Oceania make the arrangements but the majority arrange private excursions.

Yes and no. Again, it depends on the specific itinerary and the timing of your viewing of excursions on offer.

 

For instance, for Insignia's Lima to Buenos Aires cruise coming up in October, the first excursions to be posted in all ports were private full- or half-day van outings at outrageous prices. These were posted early in the year and were the only excursions shown for at least a couple of months.

 

Finally, in April, about six months before departure, the "normal" excursions for the rest of us were posted. Still expensive, of course, as all ship's tours are, but now in the usual $100-300 dollar range rather than nearing a thousand p/p.

 

So, if your cruise is more than six months out, be patient. All will be revealed in due course and you won't need to mortgage your house.:)

we just returned from ATW and I assure you that there were many people who used O's shorex.

 

It depends upon your itinerary. We always do diy in European ports; mass transportation is easy to use or grab a cab. We also felt comfortable doing diy in Cape Town, Singapore, Shanghai and all ports in Australia/NZ.

 

However, in some of our ATW ports we had a "driver's helper" that sat in the back and we had police escorts to and from our destination. We always felt totally safe in these shorex even though they were in eastern and western Africa, in Indonesia, and in Malaysia.

 

In some ports, they don't yet have the infrastructure to meet the needs of those seeking private tours: few cabs, vehicles appeared to be unsafe and drivers who don't speak English.

 

We heard excellent reports from people who went on private excursions but we also heard some pretty scary reports as well.

 

So...itinerary matters.
