Advantages of a landtour instead of a cruise:

• During the land tours you stay in hotels, which have less crowed conditions, there is more privacy and you won´t get seasick.
• More access to towns, and contact with the local people.
• Less fuel is used in short trips compared to constant idling and motoring of cruise ships.
• No pollution possibilities such as disposal of grey water at sea or garbage being thrown into the sea.
