Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about port permits, gangway pickups, and timing guarantees.

What happens if our cruise ship arrives late or misses port?

We monitor cruise schedules in real time. If your ship is delayed, your private guide and vehicle will adjust your pickup time accordingly. Should your cruise line cancel a port call due to weather or itinerary changes, you receive a 100% full refund or credit with absolute zero penalty.

Where exactly do we meet our private guide at the port?

Because we pre-arrange official port entry permits in advance, your private driver and guide will meet you inside the security gates right at the ship gangway or tender pier holding a personalized name sign. You will never need to walk outside port gates.

Are port entry permits and harbor fees included?

Yes. All official harbor authority access fees, vehicle entry permits, and terminal passes required to pick you up directly dockside are fully included in our transparent rates with zero hidden charges.

How do you guarantee we get back to the ship on time?

Every private itinerary is built with generous safety buffers to return your party to the port gangway at least 90 to 120 minutes before your ship's official all-aboard time. Our dispatch team tracks live highway traffic to ensure stress-free arrivals.

Can we customize the tour itinerary during our excursion?

Absolutely. Since your luxury vehicle and expert guide are 100% private to your party, you completely set the pace. Feel free to linger longer at historic sites, adjust meal stops, or add photo opportunities on the fly.
