FAQs about Celebrity Millennium Cruise Shore Excursions

We understand that Celebrity Millennium guests expect more than just a tour, you seek comfort, clarity, and confidence in every step of the journey. Below are the key details to ensure your shore excursion experience is as seamless and enjoyable as your time ashore.

Booking with Japan Shore Excursions is simple and secure.

You may reserve your shared excursion online via our website by filling inquiry form or pay online via Onepay. Upon selecting your preferred tour, departure date, and number of guests, you’ll receive an instant booking confirmation. Early reservations are recommended, as our curated small group tours fill quickly due to limited capacity.

To ensure an elevated and intimate experience, our tours operate with a small group, no more than 14 guests. This allows for more personal interaction with your guide and a comfortable pace throughout the day.

We would deeply regret your decision to cancel your Celebrity Millennium 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 Shore Excursions Asia (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.

In case the Celebrity Millennium 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.

No worries. We track the ship’s real-time status and will adjust your tour start time if needed. We always build in a time buffer to ensure a relaxed and secure return to the ship.

Normally, each group tour includes:

  • Round-trip transportation from your cruise terminal

  • Expert English-speaking local guide

  • Entry fees for all included attractions

  • All taxes, tolls, and fuel charges

  • Our Back-to-Ship Guarantee

Meals and optional personal expenses are not included unless stated.

Your guide will meet you right outside the cruise terminal, holding a sign with your name or the tour group name. We monitor your ship’s docking time and adjust accordingly, so you're never rushed or left behind.

What travelers are saying about our escorted cruise excursions

Worry free cruise shore excursions

My friend and I used Shore Excursions Asia for a 12 night cruise around Japan and they helped us with every port. We worked with Felix Tran and from the start he could not have been more helpful. He patiently answered all of my many emails and helped create a terrific itinerary in each city.

The guides were knowledgeable and shared "their Japan" along with details about each place we visited. The cars/vans were clean and comfortable, and drivers were exceptional - polite and safe.

The Best of Aomori Tour

Felix set up an Aomori Tour for us. We enjoyed it very much. Mr. Nagasawa Atsushi was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable and we covered a lot of history through out the day. The shore excursion was very prompt and i felt we learned a lot.

A great alternative for customized shore excursions.

We used this company for excursions off our cruise n Japan. It was the only company I found that was willing to pick us up and drop us off at the pier. We are a family of 8 ranging it in age from 7-77. I worked with Felix online. He tailored 4 tours at 4 ports, to my requests, sometimes making excellent suggestions.

Felix was always timely in his responses, flexible when I made a last minute change, and an excellent communicator. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I would definitely recommend using this company for shore excursions.

Great experience & tour

I booked a tour/transfer pick up from our ship in Kobe, Japan to Osaka airport (KIX) for our group of 14 people. We wanted to tour Osaka on the way to the airport. I worked with Sammy who is excellent person to work with! She sent me a quote right away, she answered all my questions right away, she was always on top of everything, great communication.

We had a nice, comfortable transfer bus, very helpful driver and a fantastic guide. Everything was done in a timely manner. 

Amazing Service and Flexibility

The booking process was easy and Felix was very informative and kept the communication going right up until the morning of our excursion. Our guide for the excursion was exceptional, we had a lovely young lady and she couldn’t have done more for us. The transport was first class and would definitely recommended this company to anyone.

An excellent source for great excursions!!!

We went on a cruise to Japan with 16 family members. We were looking for shore excursions not related to the cruise ship and found Shore Excursions Asia online. We booked excursions in Hiroshima and Busan, South Korea. We worked with Felix Tran, a sales executive and he arranged these amazing tours for us. He was so great to work with.

Our English speaking tour guides in both ports were informative and made the experience very memorable. I would highly recommend Shore Excursions Asia for anyone looking for a great adventure.
