DebsGlass Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Are there any cruises where there is a 2 day port of call so we can really enjoy and get to know a location? You know, use the ship like a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, use the ship like a hotel. They do exist but they are few and far between and not easy to find. Bermuda itineraries are among those that have them and I have also seen Aruba, Oslo and Lisbon. You're more likely to find them on Celebrity than on Royal. This is the sort of thing that a good cruise travel agent would be able to help you with. If you don't already work with a TA, you could consider contacting MEI Travel, who sponsor this website and have a wealth of experience. bcarney and RCIfan1912 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Does Stockholm offer overnights or was that just temporary with the Russia issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, only knew about the Oslo one because I had family on it, but that overnight was nothing to do with Russia; it was scheduled before the war began.

Sharla Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Bermuda does a lot of overnights, and European ports as others suggested. But most of the time Bermuda is overnight. Another option is to do a one way cruise so you could tack a couple of nights on the beginning or the end. PhillyLady and FionaMG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda R Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 The only overnites I have done have been in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the conflict St Petersburg was dropped and replaced either with an overnight in Stockholm or a new port of call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 A couple of years the Adventure of the Seas snowbird repo from Quebec City boarded on day one and didn't depart until late on day 2 so the ship was the hotel for the first night. After muster you could come and go as you please. Maui has been an overnight tender port on some cruises. Azamara is known for long and overnight stays.

Jill Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Athens and Jerusalem offer overnights on some itineraries. We just spent 3 days in Israel and it was awesome! One day in Haifa and an overnight in Jerusalem PhillyLady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterScott22 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 We did Reykjavik overnight a number of years ago and there are a few Royal itineraries that have an overnight there. Great place to do a 2 day, especially in summer since sunset and sunrise there can be only 3 minutes apart!!! PhillyLady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretts173 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Most South Pacific cruises on Ovation out of Sydney are doing overnighters at Port Vila this season. PhillyLady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyLady Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I think overnights are great, but I find that I am usually so busy during the day doing an excursion, or touring, or having fun that I rarely want to go out at night anyway. I am booked on Liberty with a Bermuda overnight next June, but we do not plan on staying on shore late to eat dinner, although we almost always do lunch off the ship. I have done St. Petersburg on an overnight, but tourists were not permitted to go about on their own--tours only. It is fun to have two days in a row in the same place, but port calls are always more brief and active than when one books a hotel and actually stays in the place, and is forced to find restaurants, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I love the overnights in Bermuda. Sailing from NJ on a seven day cruise usually gives us two overnights. The ship becomes like a hotel. Getting off and on whenever I wish. Bermuda is one of my favorite ports to visit. Beautiful, clean, safe and the locals are great! Although I try to always be aware wherever I am, Bermuda is one of the safest places to wander about…even at night. I love the local pubs and restaurants. I also like doing some of the excursions after dark, such as the glass bottom boat into the Great Sound with the Rum Swizzles included. The beaches are phenomenal. Bermuda is the only place I ever did overnights on a cruise, so I can’t speak of any other destination. Enjoy your cruise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacharius Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have seen them a lot on longer East/Southeast Asia cruises, especially in places like Hong Kong, Singapore, and sometimes even Xiamen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoCruiser Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 The 11 night deep southern Caribbean itinerary on Vision Of The Seas out of Fort Lauderdale typically includes an overnight call at Aruba. We did that this year with my recurring Doctor Who celebrity/fan vacation group. I believe that itinerary is still being done through next season for anyone who wants that.

Matty G Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I am curious when docked in Bermuda, are the amenities on the ship open while in port? I.e. casino, shopping, etc...? I know that on regular, one-day port stops, these things aren't open when in port, but was wondering whether thats different with an overnight. Thanks!
