Not at all. Our shared tours are designed for all types of travelers, including solo travelers, couples, group of friends or multigenerational family. You’ll be matched with a small, friendly group that keeps things social but never overwhelming. Many of our guests arrive as strangers and leave with new cruise friends.

Our tours follow a relaxed, flexible rhythm, ideal for enjoying the moment without rushing. You’ll have time to take in the views, snap photos, ask questions, and simply soak up the atmosphere. We avoid tight schedules and long walks, so you can stay present and comfortable throughout the day.

We’ve got you covered. Just let us know before your tour, and we’ll do our best to accommodate any physical limitations. Some tours are better suited for light walking or stroller access - and Fiona can help you find the most comfortable and enjoyable option for your needs.

Depends. We would deeply regret your decision to cancel your Norwegian Sun 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 NCL Sun’s 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 Norwegian Sun 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.
