Ship excursion prices are sampled from MSC, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian cruise line websites for the 2025–2026 Mediterranean season. DIY costs reflect actual ticket prices, public transport fares, and entry fees as of 2026 — verified against official attraction websites and transport operators.
Timings and risk levels are based on PortTrip's own data across thousands of port days planned on the platform. "Must leave by" times include transport buffer to the ship with margin for delays.
