The discount is as follows: 30€ off each tour when booking 2 tours from different cruise ports, 40€ off each tour when booking 3 tours from different cruise port tours, 50€ off each tour when booking 4 tours from different cruise port tours. The multi-tour discount is not combinable with any other discounts or offers.

What if my cruise ship cannot dock?
