Not at all. All of our excursions for Oceania Riviera guests are gentle in pace, with minimal walking, seated breaks, and calm transitions between sites. Our local guides are attentive and adjust the experience to the group’s rhythm. If you have any specific concerns, let us know and we will recommend the best fit.

We focus on authentic, tranquil experiences, think calligraphy workshops, quiet shrine visits, or engaging with local chefs and craftsmen. These are not rushed sightseeing stops, but opportunities to connect deeply with Japanese tradition and hospitality.

Absolutely. If you're traveling with companions or simply wish for a more exclusive pace, we offer private versions of most tours. These can be tailored to your specific interests, mobility preferences, and culinary curiosities.

* Please note that private or customized tours may involve a higher cost, depending on group size, transportation, and requested inclusions.

Depends. We would deeply regret your decision to cancel your Oceania Riviera 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 Oceania Riviera’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 Oceania Riviera 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.
