What about sports activities?

[Travelkid0]

Does any cruise offer sports activities like climbing, canyoning or canoeing when in port?

I would doubt it due to the liability/insurance required.

What ports are you considering?  I think kayaking has been offered, cave tubing, zip lining.  Check with the Ports of Call boards here.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.  Feel free to wander down the main boards page and explore the resources here.  EM

Kayaking is available on the Viking Expedition ships.

Kayaking is offered in a number of ports.

I have a Viking Northern Lights trip and snowshoeing is offered by one of the vendors as are snowmobiling .  I have seen pony trekking (short) offered in Iceland.  Check out Belize port stops for cave tubing.

Princess offered a hike up a volcano in Guatemala, Carnival a kayak excursion  (sorry, don't remember where), Norwegian offered a hike in Maine. Each of these cruise lines offered other sporty types of excursions. I've seen scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, and others offered.

Much appreciated...

I guess the best way is to see what shore excursions they might be offering before booking

I guess you have to sign off on that before you book?

Unless you set on using a cruise line excursion you can probably find what you want with greater variety through third-party excursion vendors.

RCI has rock climbing walls on some of their ships.

I see that I accidentally included a link to canyoning in Slovenia; didn't notice until now. Sorry for any confusion.
