Extend your Cruise Experience with Pre- or Post-Cruise Packages

Many cruise travelers are so eager to book their cruise vacation, they fail to consider adding a few days to enjoy the city of embarkation and/or disembarkation.

Many travelers don’t realize you usually don’t have time to visit the city from which you sail (or disembark) unless the ship is overnighting in that port. By the time you arrive to your destination and transfer to the ship for afternoon boarding, there’s often little time, if any, to sightsee.

As long as you're going all that way, why not make the most of it?

For those sailing from cities like Vancouver on an Alaskan cruise, or from London on a European cruise, it’s a shame to fly all that way and not savor some of the world’s most exciting cities.

All cruise lines offer one, two or three-night pre- or post-cruse hotel packages that are convenient, given the hotel, roundtrip airport and pier transfers are included. You can also consider alternative packages at other hotels than those offered by the cruise lines. Your TravelStore planner can help arrange either. These can be fully guided or completely independent stays.

You may also wish to consider a CruiseTour, combining a cruise with a fully-escorted tour program. CruiseTours are especially popular in Alaska and Europe. TravelStore cruise experts  can help guide you in selecting a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay, or a cruisetour vacation.
