nicko cruises Excursions
Great experiences every day.
At nicko cruises we believe that personal encounters are the best way to discover a new country and its people. We offer you a comprehensive selection of interesting shore excursions that allow you to explore the culture, meet the people and gain an impression of the countries and regions we pass through on our routes. You have the free use of ultra-modern and comfortable Sennheiser audio systems on all excursions. The extremely light mini body pack and headset ensures that you hear everything the guide is saying, even if you prefer to stand at the back of the tour group.
Inspiration and information by the package
Our experts have created attractive packages of the
best excursions on every cruise. If you book your
package in advance you also benefit from discount
prices and full planning reliability, as your place on the excursions is then always guaranteed.
Naturally you can also book individual excursions on board. For even more variety we offer a selection of further, optional excursions. Our on-board cruise staff are happy to advise you, as well as sharing with you their favourite tips for your individual visits ashore.
Please note, that information and excursions will only be provided in German language for individual travelers, except dates marked with guaranteed English language.
The wonders of nature
Impressive volcano islands or spectacular panoramas under the midnight sun – discover beautiful countryside along the most beautiful European and North African coasts on the cruises presented in this catalogue on board VASCO DA GAMA. Observe the extensive coastal and marine life in Europe, such as grey seals, sperm whales and turtles. You might also see seabirds such as little terns and Balearic shearwater. Entire habitats with numerous endemic plants and animal species have developed on the Atlantic islands in particular. Our goal is to discover the wonders of nature with you. Our excursions are conducted quietly and considerately in small groups out of respect for the flora and fauna and the country and its people.
Experienced experts
All our excursions are led by local, German-speaking tour guides. This gives you a first-hand insight into the culture and nature of your travel destination. Our experienced excursion team has put together a fascinating blend of popular highlights and deeper impressions of the culture and natural beauty – including many UNESCO World Heritage Sites. On each cruise, a lecturer presents additional perspectives, insights and background in informative events on board the ship.
City tours, culture and history at first-hand
Between Porto and Helsinki, the metropolises symbolise vibrant life and cultural highlights. Discover the world famous sights and the architectural variety that characterise each one of these cities. Our excursions offer you a perfect overview of these big cities with their splendid boulevards and historic buildings. Come and explore the testimonies of bygone civilisations with us, such as those of the legendary Vikings or the Romans. Small, untainted villages will fully immerse you in the culture of your travel destination.
We always find the right tone even whilst keeping distance
On all excursions, you will receive state-of-the-art, comfortable whisper audio systems to use for free. The receiver and earphones are as light as a feather and make it possible to choose the distance you want to be from others within the group without missing valuable information from the tour guide. This way you can always keep a proper distance on city tours and sightseeing – because we care about your health. They are easy to use and you can set the volume yourself. The sound and quality are noise-free and very good.
