Which Santorini shore excursion is right for you?
Explore by land or by sea. Private island tours run 4 to 8 hours (from €300 per group) with pickup and drop-off at the cruise port, covering Oia, Fira, the caldera viewpoints and more. Prefer the water? Join the shared 5-hour catamaran tour for cruise passengers (from €110 per person) or book the 4-hour private caldera cruise with a luxury catamaran (from €1,500 per group). Wine tours and cooking classes also run in cruise-friendly timeframes.
Frequently asked questions
How does pickup work at the cruise port?
Your driver meets you when you come ashore at the Santorini cruise port, and drops you back at the port at the end of your excursion.
Will I be back before my ship departs?
Yes — every itinerary is timed around your ship’s schedule, so you return to the port comfortably before departure.
How long are the shore excursions?
From a 4-hour highlights tour up to a full 8-hour day — pick the duration that fits your time in port.
Should I choose a land tour or a catamaran cruise?
A land tour shows you Oia, Fira, the villages and wineries with a personal driver. A catamaran cruise shows you Santorini from the water, with swim stops and a full Greek meal on board. With a long port call, some guests even combine both.
How much does a Santorini shore excursion cost?
The shared catamaran tour starts from €110 per person; private land tours start from €300 per group (not per person); the private caldera cruise starts from €1,500 per group.
