ONSHORE
TOURS
If you want to get out and about to experience more of what this part of South Australia has to offer, we’d
be delighted to host you on one of our optional onshore tours. Our tours are available to all passengers,
depending on which cruise you decide to do. Whilst most of them can be booked once you’re onboard,
both the Monarto Zoo and Barossa tours require pre-booking to avoid disappointment.
