FAQs about Last-minute Shore Excursions in Japan

Tailored shore excursions in Kagoshima
Azamara Pursuit cruise shore excursions

Can I book a tour less than 24 hours in advance?

Rarely. While we sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings, we strongly recommend reserving your tour at least 1 month in advance to secure your spot and ensure smooth arrangements.

Is full payment required upfront for last-minute Japan shore excursions?

In most cases, no upfront payment is required until we confirm your spot. Once your booking is approved, we’ll send a secure payment link. If your tour is within 24 hours, we may ask for immediate payment to finalize your place.

What’s your cancellation policy for last-minute bookings?

We understand that plans can change quickly with cruise travel. For last-minute shore excursions, we offer flexible cancellation. Please read detail HERE.

What if the tour I want is fully booked?

We’ll do our best to offer you an alternative tour at the same port. If no options are suitable, we’ll keep your request on priority and notify you if a spot opens up.

Are last-minute Japan shore tours different from regular ones?

Not at all! Our last-minute shore excursions in Japan offer the same quality experience, expert local guides, small-group settings, and immersive cultural visits. The only difference is that these tours are closing soon and may stop accepting new bookings at any time.
