No Shore Excursions listed for port day!

[stonepebble]

Hi All! 

We are sailing on Nautica Aug 14-24, 2024.

We're within 1 year of sailing and the Shore Excursions have been released.

They are listed for every port on our itinerary except for Shannon, Ireland.

I'm pretty sure that is not a new port for O.

Anyone have any idea why there are none offered there?

In my experience, this is not uncommon.  A port may not have excursions ready for bookings for a variety of reasons in O’s back office.

 

For instance, 2024 ATW departing in January, just had Papeete added with excursions, only 5 months before our departure.  A later release of excursions for a port has occurred on our other sailings, too.

 

Just periodically check online, or request another excursion pdf whenever you get a new O Guest Statement to find when the excursions may be available.

Ok, Thank you! 

Patience is a virtue!

On my recent Iceland/Greenland/Canada cruise, there was one port for which no shore excursions were provided up until a few weeks before sailing. (I was checking frequently.) No explanation was ever given -- it was not even one of the most "remote" ports and there was an obvious site where excursions would be popular....

Cruise lines don't run the excursions (except on private islands).  They contract with shoreside companies, and if the shoreside companies aren't accepting contracts for a year out, then....

 

As @tigerfan75 said, keep checking back.

On our Vista cruise sailing January 2024, we noticed a couple ports that seemed to have very few options.  I just kept checking back, and one day found a bunch had been added.  Glad we were patient.  I had started researching private options and wasn't finding what I was looking for, so was relieved to find the excursion that fit what we were looking for.
