HAL launches immersive National Geographic tours
Holland America Line has started ‘National Geographic Day Tours’ offering guests more immersive experiences on Mediterranean cruises.
The exclusive shore excursions were developed in collaboration with National Geographic.
Beginning this summer, guests sailing on Oosterdam and Nieuw Statendam can participate in National Geographic Day Tours.
It allows guests to experience a day in the life of a marine biologist in Naples, or meet local families in Santorini, Greece.
Each tour is led by a National Geographic trained guide.
“We are continually looking for enriching and transformative experiences for our guests,” said Carole Biencourt, VP overseeing shore tour experiences.
“We are pleased to offer them to guests om Mediterranean itineraries and will look to expand the program in the near future.”
Guests on select Mediterranean cruises can now book National Geographic tours online or through a travel advisor.
Tours include ‘Influential Women in Turkey: From Past to Present’ in Kusadasi, Turkey and ‘the Fascinating World of Bees’ in Rhodes.
The new day tours are available on seven to 14-day itineraries departing from Trieste, Piraeus and Barcelona with calls in Rhodes, Kusadasi Santorini and Naples.
