Insider Tip
At virtually every port, your ship will have to tender. If you’re new to cruising, this is when passengers board smaller boats, typically life boats, to reach the shore. Because of the nature of an island-hopping cruise, your ship likely won’t be able to directly dock at many of the stops. Therefore, when planning your excursions, make sure to allocate extra time for getting ashore.
