Common Questions

FAQs about Norwegian Jade Cruise Shore Excursions in Vietnam

Below are some of the most common questions to help you prepare for your Vietnam cruise adventure. Our goal is to make your planning process simple and transparent, so you can focus on enjoying each destination with confidence and peace of mind.

Do you offer small-group shore excursions in Vietnam?

Yes. Small-group tours are our main option for Norwegian Jade passengers. They are a great choice if you want the advantages of a guided tour without the cost of a private vehicle and guide.

Small groups allow for a more personal experience, easier communication with your guide, and a more flexible pace than a large coach tour.

Our small-group tours are intentionally kept smaller than typical cruise excursions. The exact group size depends on the specific tour and departure date, usually up to 16 pax.

If you prefer to travel exclusively with your family, friends, or travel companions, you can also choose a private shore excursion.

Yes. We offer private shore excursions in Vietnam for travelers who want a more flexible and personalized experience.

A private tour allows you to choose a pace that suits your group, spend more time at the places you are most interested in, and adjust the itinerary where practical. Private tours are particularly suitable for families, couples, multigenerational groups, and larger parties traveling together.

Yes. Our shore excursions are planned around your ship's scheduled departure time, with a safety buffer built into the itinerary.

Please note that final timings may need to be adjusted if Norwegian Jade changes its arrival or departure schedule.

If your cruise schedule changes, please let us know as soon as possible. We will review the updated schedule and adjust your tour timing when possible. Our priority is to make sure your shore excursion remains compatible with the ship's revised port schedule.

If Norwegian Jade does not call at the scheduled port due to weather, operational issues, or another circumstance beyond your control, please contact us as soon as you know. We will work with you according to the cancellation and refund terms of your booking.

This depends on the specific tour. Each Norwegian Jade shore excursion description clearly explains what is included and what is not.

Typical inclusions may include:

  • A local English-speaking guide
  • Transportation
  • Port pickup and drop-off
  • Selected entrance fees.

Personal expenses, drinks, or other optional activities may be excluded.

Please check the individual tour page for the exact inclusions before booking.

To enjoy your NCL Jade shore excursions to the fullest, please prepare the following:

  • Valid passport and cruise ID card
  • Comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for tropical weather
  • Sun hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses
  • Local currency or credit card for personal expenses
  • The meeting point and emergency contact details provided by Vietnam Shore Excursions

If you have dietary preferences (e.g., vegetarian meals) or medical concerns, please inform us in advance.

We would deeply regret your decision to cancel your shore excursions; however we realize that there are many valid reasons that this can happen. In the event of cancellation we will refund any payment made to Vietnam Shore Excursions (less any cancellation fee that is applicable) within 14 days of our receipt of your written cancellation request.

The cancellation fee will be calculated as follows:

  • More than 40 days prior to trip departure: 10% of the deposit paid is non-refundable. This will be saved for your next trip with us. The rest of the deposit paid will be refunded (bank fee levied by your end)
  • 40 – 30 days prior to trip departure: 35% charged of the deposit paid
  • 29 – 15 days: 50% charged of the deposit paid
  • 14 – 10 day: 75% charged of total amount
  • Less than 10 days or No show: 100% charged of total amount

After the trip has commenced, we are unable to refund any amount for unused services due to your willingness, early departure, late arrival, or missed days on tours.
