Shore Excursions

Has anyone heard of a new company located in the UK called Cruise Excursions? They have been in business for 18 months. Wondering if anyone is familiar w/them.

I have not used them but I vaguely recall reading of the on either the British Isles board or a cruise review. Like others posted, check these locations out, you may get much more info.

Established in the past year, they're an excursion booking agency working on commission. (like Viator or City Discovery), not a tour operator. So they have no real control over the quality of the excursion.
Like Viator, they take some of the hard work out of hunting for an excursion & they're way cheaper than ship's tours (though that's not difficult ). With a bit of ferretting you could book direct with the operator a bit cheaper, but - esp if it involves front-money - you'll find it easier to get redress from them than from some e-mail address in a far-off country. Haven't used them, used Viator withot problem a couple of times in specific circumstances. And heard very little about them, nothing negative, but its early days yet. They claim to offer excursions world-wide, but currently they're majoring only on Europe.

If you're tempted, double-check their ABTA credentials.

And come back to let us know how you got on

Thank you so much John. I really appreciate the info and I will certainly post what I find out and if I end up using them.
