Third Party Shore Excursions

Mike Greer with Global Destination Group joins us this week to give us a behind the scenes look on what makes a cruise port “cruise ship ready.” Viator is a cruise excursion company the promises if your excursion isnt back to the ship, they’ll pay for you to get to the next port. We dive into the details with their VP of Marketing, Kelly Gillease and take your calls. Get 10% off your next cruise excursion with Viator by using promo code CRUISEVIATOR10 until June 30, 2012.
