At Travel Day Trip Ideas, we’re passionate about helping cruise travelers make the most of their time in port. Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or embarking on your first voyage, we provide the resources and insider knowledge you need to plan unforgettable shore excursions—without breaking the bank.

Who We Are

We are just your average everyday couple, who love travel and exploring new places, particularly through the lens of cruise travel. Our mission is to empower fellow cruisers to step off the ship and immerse themselves in the rich experiences each port has to offer, at an affordable price.

After going on a few cruises and booking shore excursions ourselves, we realized that many passengers stick to overpriced, crowded, and cookie-cutter tours sold by the cruise lines. We knew there had to be a better way. So, we set out to create a platform that helps travelers discover local, authentic, and affordable excursions - all while skipping the middleman and avoiding hefty markups.

What We Do

We create Cruise Port Travel Guides and Video reviews of popular cruise port destinations around the world. Our content is designed to help you plan your port day with confidence, offering advice on the best local tours, must-see sights, transportation tips, and more.

In each of our videos and guides, you’ll find links to the world’s leading marketplace for booking tours and activities. By booking directly through our links, you can access a wide range of unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences and save money compared to cruise line excursions. Plus, as independent travelers, you’ll enjoy smaller groups, more flexibility, and personalized attention from local guides who know the area best.

Why We Do It

We believe that travel is about discovery, and people should have the opportunity to be able to explaore freely, not based on wht they can afford for a day trip. Our goal is to help you experience each destination through the eyes of a local, uncovering hidden gems and enjoying more authentic moments, and to help our member do so with very affordable tour options.

By offering free videos, downloadable travel guides and personalized advice, we strive to help you create memories that go beyond the ordinary. We also want to make travel planning easy and affordable, whether it’s your first port visit or your tenth.

At Travel Day Trip Ideas, when you book using our links, not only do you gain access to fantastic local tours, but you also help support our platform so we can continue creating valuable content for travelers like you.
