Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a guided tour to my cruise?
Yes. Cruiseabout can pair your cruise with a guided tour from Cosmos, G Adventures or Back-Roads before or after your sailing, so you see more of the region than the ports alone.
How far in advance should I book a cruise and tour package?
Book as early as possible, especially for peak European season (May to September). Tour departure dates and cabin categories sell out faster the closer you get to travel.
Do I need to book the cruise and tour together?
No, but booking through the one advisor means your flights, transfers and timing between the cruise and tour are coordinated, so you’re not left managing connections yourself. Find your nearest store to speak with a Cruise Advisor.
What’s the difference between Cosmos, G Adventures Geluxe and Back-Roads touring?
Cosmos runs larger coach tours with a Tour Director. G Adventures Geluxe is small-group with upgraded accommodation. Back-Roads Touring runs small groups off the main routes. Your Cruise Advisor can match the style to how you like to travel.
Can I combine two touring companies in one trip?
It’s possible depending on timing and region, but most travellers pair one cruise with one tour operator to keep transfers and logistics simple. Ask your Cruise Advisor for options
Do I earn World360 Rewards points when I book a cruise and tour package?
Yes. Cruise and tour bookings made through Cruiseabout earn World360 Rewards points, which you can redeem on future travel. Register for World360 Rewards if you’re not already a member.
