    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Do I have to book my cruise through World Class Tours in order to have you set up my pre- and/or post-cruise tour?

    Yes, this is best to ensure a complete and seamless experience.

    Why book pre- and post-cruise extensions through World Class Tours instead of the cruise line?

    We can accommodate any budget and a wide variety of requests before or after your cruise. The extensions offered by the cruise lines tend to be pricier and less flexible as they have set contracts with specific providers, so you have fewer options. This is also true for the cruise lines’ transfers, tours, and activities. We work with your needs and budget to create suitable options for you/your group.

    Do you make group bookings on cruises? Is there a discount?

    Yes, we can do group bookings on both river and ocean cruises. Depending on the cruise line, there is often a significant group discount
