MEET THE GURUS
Michael (left) and Steven (right) met in 2014 in Orlando, Florida over a coffee at Starbucks. After 7 months we went on our first cruise together aboard the Carnival Liberty visiting the Bahamas. We would have never guessed that this 5-day trip would become our getaway of choice and take us to so many unique places around the globe!
Over the years we have had the opportunity to sail on quite a few ships across multiple cruise lines. Throughout these experiences we have learned to appreciate the strengths and opportunities that many of the more popular cruise lines offer customers. In addition to curating shore excursion planning resources, we also try to stay up to date on the latest ships, refurbishments, and other cruise industry highlights. We hope to be able to share this passion with you to create fun, engaging, and useful travel content to help make (and save!) the most during your next cruise vacation.
OUR MISSION
We're a website curated by cruisers, for cruisers, making travel planning easier and more personalized for those who love traveling by sea as much as we do. We know that choosing which shore excursions to experience and where to book them for the best pricing can be costly, nerve-wracking, and often time-consuming.
Combining 15 years working in travel e-commerce with over 20 cruises sailed we've found local tour operators often offer similar (or better) shore excursion experiences for less. We call ourselves the Shore Excursion Gurus as we can bring tips and tricks on how to get the most from these travel platforms you are likely familiar with already. We've scoured the travel sites, curated a shortlist of top tours and attractions, and now aim to save you time and money by directing you straight to the best options. Plus, we sound the horn on deals and unique bundle offers that may help with getting the most from your time in port.
We're excited to share our recommendations, adventures, and learnings with you. We aim to keep the site updated regularly with our own excursion experiences, trip highlights & ship reviews.
Let’s cruise into savings and make shore excursion planning faster, easier, & more fun than ever! 🚢
