Disembarking at a POC (port-of-call) provide the cruiser with excursion opportunities which also allow visitors to be immersed into different cultures. Visiting ports-of-call provides an experience to the visitor (in this case, cruiser) that educates, confirms, or reaffirms previous notions. Excursion experiences range from a walk in the park all the way to climbing mountains. If you can think it up, there is probably an excursion to fit the bit.

Excursions continue to play a vital role in the ocean travel experience. Each port-of-call has a unique cultural and land experience. Being immersed with the natives and the terrain of a particular land mass is an education. We will only mention a minuscule amount of excursions because of the enormity of the excursions there are to delve. Our members are encouraged to share their experiences either through our comments section or they may send us a more formal writing to be published on our citizen-journalist section.
