To keep the energy high and the experience personal, we keep our shared excursions to a curated small group, typically between 12 to 16 guests. This means you can actually hear your guide, move with flexibility, and connect with other like-minded travelers without feeling like you’re part of a tour parade. It's the perfect mix of social and exclusive.
Expect high-energy, immersive, and downright epic moments. Our tours blend adventure, culture, and fun with, neon-lit cities, bustling street food markets, peaceful temples, or even volcano views. Every stop is chosen for its Instagrammable charm, cultural depth, or just plain “wow” factor. These aren’t cookie-cutter excursions, they’re crafted to give you stories worth telling.

A day full of moments worth remembering
Depends. We would deeply regret your decision to cancel your Spectrum of the Seas shore excursions; however we realize that there are many valid reasons that this can happen. In the event of cancellation we will refund any payment made to Japan Shore Excursions (less any cancellation fee that is applicable) within 14 days of our receipt of your written cancellation request.
The cancellation fee will be calculated as follows:
- More than 40 days prior to trip departure: 10% of the deposit paid is non-refundable. This will be saved for your next trip with us. The rest of the deposit paid will be refunded (bank fee levied by your end)
- 40 – 30 days prior to trip departure: 35% charged of the deposit paid
- 29 – 15 days: 50% charged of the deposit paid
- 14 – 10 day: 75% charged of total amount
- Less than 10 days or No show: 100% charged of total amount
After the trip has commenced, we are unable to refund any amount for unused services due to your willingness, early departure, late arrival, or missed days on tours.
No need to worry. We’ve got it handled. Our team monitors Spectrum of the Seas’ real-time docking information and adjusts your tour departure accordingly. Plus, we always build in a buffer, so even if your ship docks slightly later than expected, you'll still enjoy a smooth, stress-free experience and get back to the ship on time, every time.
In case the Spectrum of the Seas cruise ship is unable to dock at ports or tender can’t discharge passengers, we will refund you Lunch (if any) and entrance fee. As for the guide and vehicle expenses, we will try our best to negotiate with our service providers to minimize the cancellation charge since we have arranged/sent them to the port to welcome you. We will advise you in specific details if this is case and get back to you with the refund amount at our soonest possible.
