Grand Cayman Cruise Ship Excursion Information
Cruise Ship passengers arrive to Grand Cayman
daily, for some passengers it is for the first time, for many it is their returning
visit to our shores.
 The
Cayman Islands are by far the most anticipated stop for cruise
ship passengers, because of the peaceful surrounding, beautiful
beaches, no street
site vendors, beggars or crime. You will be able to fully
enjoy our beaches, excursions and Duty Free Shops in Grand
Cayman.
The biggest complaint heard from cruise ship
passengers is " We never spend enough time in Grand Cayman!"
Cruise Ships are only in the Cayman Islands for a short 6 hours,
they then depart to either Jamaica or Cozumel continuing their
cruise fun to other Tropical locations. If you are
arriving by Cruise Ship here are some hints and info to make
your shore excursions less expensive.
Weekly Cruise Lines are Carnival Cruise
Line, Princess Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Holland America,
Norwegian, Costa Cruises and
even Disney Cruise Lines make their Port of Call on their
cruises here in Grand Cayman.

What to shop for
The Cayman Islands hold some of
the best Duty Free shopping
in the world. Duty Free items include Jewelry, Gold,
Gold/Silver Coins, authentic Cuban
duty free cigars
and accessories, Photographic cameras and accessories,
Porcelain or China, Alcohol (don't forget that bottle of Cayman
Islands rum!) Rum Cakes, Perfumes and a whole lot more.
Cruise Ships do not arrive at a dock in Grand Cayman, a
tender is used to come to shore. The tenders take
passengers right to the heart of George Town where most of the shopping is
conveniently available. Just a few steps to the right or
left of the dock will lead you to shopping heaven! To cut
back on shopping time, pay a visit to the
Blue
Iguana Souvenir Outlet
a few steps away from the terminal walking towards Club
Paradise. You will be able to find all you need, at
competitive prices all in one store! Some of the Worlds
best quality silver can also be found very close to the Cruise
Ship Tenders.

only Sterling Silver Shop, offering only Silver creations!
Going to the beach
You can now enjoy our beautiful Island on the Cayman
Outrage Eco Stingray City Tour. This private excursion
will take you to the most beautiful snorkeling to be found in
Grand Cayman as well as our most secret beaches! Visiting
our beach by boat is by far the way locals do it!
Grand Cayman
horseback Beach Rides provides free
transport to the beautiful deserted beaches of Bodden Town FREE
of charge. You can enjoy an Island Tour before and after
your horseback excursion.
Going to one of our many beaches here in Grand
Cayman seems to be the activity of choice after shopping away in
George Town.
 There
are many choices you can take. Most cruise ship passengers
are taken to cruise ship points where you will be charged
admission, or worse, charged for the use of the beach chairs and
facilities.
Taking a cab
from George Town to the West Bay Public
Beach is by far the best choice. The beach
there is fantastic and free! With bathroom facilities and
plenty of shady trees you can truly enjoy the un-crowded
surroundings. When you are done sun tanning
and playing in
the water,
Neptune Restaurant right across the street
is an excellent choice for lunch and frozen delicious drinks.
Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving in the Cayman Islands is a World class activity.
Grand Cayman offers fantastic wall diving, shallow reefs and of
course the famous Stingray City. Snorkeling is offered on
most Cruise Ship excursions list while diving is completely left
behind or if offered, you often find yourself with a boat filled
to the brim with other fellow divers.
We give you a chance
to scuba dive
stingray city with your fellow snorkeler; perfect for the family
where only one dives and the other one snorkels!
Stingray City
The  most
popular excursion in Grand Cayman remains Stingray City. You are
now able to visit Stingray City or the Stingray City Sandbar
without the crowds with our list of operators. Enjoy one
of our popular
private charters on beautiful sailboats
or sail in stile on our
Catamaran Excursions.
Ever dreamt of Scuba Diving? Here is your chance!
You are now able to take a safe and easy
Discover Diving Course on the
fascinating Wreck of the Cali, followed by a fantastic dive at
Stingray City to play with Stingrays in their natural habitat,
all in barely 25 feet of water!
Shore excursions
As we all know, shore excursions
can be booked directly from the Cruise Ship. That is, if
you have money to burn!
 Cruise
Ships charge a huge commission for booking Island Tours,
Submarine excursions, Glass Bottom Boats, Snorkeling Trips and
so on. You can save a bundle of cash (better spent on
shopping) if you book your excursions directly with the
companies offering the services here on the Island.
All excursion companies here in
Grand Cayman are fully licensed and insured according to
Government policies and regulations, this will assure whatever
trip you book yourself will be of the utmost standard. In
fact, all the excursions you can book through our Website will
be offered to you by your Cruise Director for a much higher price!
Why book earlier
After booking a cruise all Cruise
Ship passengers know the itinerary, this makes it easy for one
to know when they will be in port. Because of the
sometimes-limited availability, visitors should book the most
popular excursions early to guarantee seating.
Take a look at our
Activities section
in order to see
some of the best excursions Grand Cayman has to offer and
reserve your trip after printing out your discount coupon!
If you did not book an
excursion before leaving the house
The beautiful part of today's
technology is of course the ease of communication.
All Cruise Ships offer Internet
access to passengers.
If you did not reserve an excursion because you simply cannot
make plans months in advance (We all know that feeling) simply
log on to our site a few days before your arrival here in Grand
Cayman and
book the excursion you would like
to participate in from the Ship!
The Web Address is easy, just think of what you would like to
receive when on vacation in the Cayman Islands. Cayman
Islands Discounts, that's what! Just add a dot com at the
end.
