Couples
who appreciate history might enjoy excursions that focus on the fascinating
remnants of ancient cultures, such as the former Greek port of Ephesus, just 20
miles from the cruise ship dock at Kusadasi, Turkey. You can view the remains
of a massive outdoor theater; the Library of Celsus, which once held 12,000
scrolls; the Basilica of St. John; and the lone column that is all that remains
of the Temple of Artemis . Only an estimated 15 percent of
Ephesus has
been excavated, and work on this vast outdoor museum continues daily.
It
takes two to tango, and couples sailing to Buenos Aires, Argentina, have the
opportunity to watch experts perform the romantic dance at a tango show. Better
yet, your ship may offer shore excursions that include lessons in the
seductive, passionate dance. If dance isn’t for you, another option is a tour
of the city’s colorful “barrios,” or neighborhoods.
Alaska’s
ports buzz with activity during the summer cruise season, so a couple might
enjoy heading a short way out of town to enjoy the spectacular natural scenery.
Opportunities to hike nature trails, skim over the water in a kayak or navigate
forest paths on an all-terrain vehicle are never far away – your ship is sure
to provide a choice of such excursions.
Couples
who cruise to the Caribbean, Mexico or Australia have a terrific selection of
beach-oriented shore excursions that offer sun, fun and a bit of romance. A
quiet afternoon on a beach of soft, white sand; riding on horseback through the
sparkling surf; parasailing high above the coastline; or diving down to visit a
world of colorful sea life are just some of the possibilities.
Every
cruise offers great shore excursion options for couples to enjoy together. For
help in selecting yours, talk with Anita, your personal cruise expert.
