Your first stop features a brief moment to snap photos of St. Andrews Cathedral. Once the seat of leading bishops, Scotland's largest medieval church now sits in ruins dating back to 1158. You'll then get a feel for the "home of golf" as you walk on foot around The Old Course.

Finally, you'll have about 90 minutes of free time in the town of St. Andrews. Here you can shop for golf memorabilia and grab lunch in a local pub. Or check out the British Golf Museum (additional cost may apply) to peruse a diverse collection of golf-related artifacts — clubs from the 1800s, handwritten laws of the game, a ball pattern-making press, championship medals, and more.

Feel the rush of a thrilling three-hour boat ride in a high-speed RIB boat that takes you across the Moray Firth inlet in search of its famous resident bottlenose dolphin population, soaring seabirds and panoramic highlands scenery. Take a short 15-minute walk to the pier and engage in a safety briefing delivered by your experienced skipper. Gear up with waterproof jackets, goggles, headbands and life jackets and then speed away from the shore in a Rigid Inflatable Boat. Towering cliffs, green hillsides and native Caledonian forests serve as the perfect backdrop for your cruise through Scotland's Moray Firth, an inlet of the North Sea. These waters are one of the best spots in Europe to see wild sea life; in fact they are home to the world's northernmost colony of bottlenose dolphins. Some 130 dolphins live, feed and play in these waters — and the creatures splashing about the boat are often bigger in size due to the blubber they pack for swimming in local cold waters. Also keep your eyes out for harbour seals, harbour porpoises, common seals, grey seals, minke whales and nesting seabirds. Enjoy onboard refreshments before returning to the pier.

Many tours allow time for guests to shop or explore independently; however that time is limited and can be modified as needed during the tour. Please review the tour description and/or visit the Shore Excursions desk, onboard your ship, for timing on independent shopping and exploration.

Tour Transportation

Please keep in mind that transportation varies throughout the world. Vehicles used for shore excursions may not have air conditioning, restroom facilities and/or seat belts/restraints. For the comfort of all guests, smoking is not allowed on any vehicles used during shore excursions.

Transportation at Ports

Because several ports are not located in the city center, we arrange a shuttle bus service for a fee in those ports. Guests can also utilize the local services. A list of these specific ports can be found onboard.

Promptness

It is essential that ALL guests be back onboard no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.  This information is posted daily at the gangway. Although shore excursions meet these schedule requirements, even if you are not on a tour, you are also responsible for being back onboard the ship on time. If for any reason a tour is delayed, the shipboard management team will await the tour’s return. However, guests on tours with vendors not advertised through Royal Caribbean International are responsible for ensuring their return to the ship on time as it will not wait for them, despite any delays.

Legal Responsibility

Royal Caribbean International offers shore excursions for guest convenience and peace of mind. Although we have carefully selected the finest excursions at each port, services are provided by independent tour operators. Royal Caribbean International will not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, injury, costs, or delays resulting from or in conjunction with your use of these services.

Royal Caribbean International acts only as the agent of the supplier of these services and does so on the sole condition that no liability of any kind, however caused, shall attach to Royal Caribbean International or its agents, servants or employees in connection with or arising there from. All tickets, coupons and vouchers issued by Royal Caribbean International for shore excursions made on behalf of guests are solely subject to the terms and conditions of the person or company providing those transportation facilities ashore.

Symbols/Icons & Definitions
