Creator's Key Takeaways

My favorite type of port is one where you can simply walk from your ship and head out to explore it on your own without the need for a shuttle bus or an excursion.

This top 10 breaks down the ports that I have personally visited and found nothing worthy of visiting or port that I have researched and simply thought there's no point in going there cuz I'd have to take an expensive short excursion.

Me and my wife visited the stunning Yala National Park and took a jeep safari through it that allowed us to see lots of wildlife, including elephants, alligators, and if you are lucky, you may even see leopards and bears.

So, don't waste your time whilst in port. the chances are that you will know all about my thoughts on the port of Liveron if you haven't read any of the articles relating to it on the cruise hall site or watched any of the videos that I have done on the port on this channel and basically liveron is simply a wasted port on any itinerary there is nothing and I mean nothing there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a shore excursion at ports where independent exploration is difficult or impossible.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

If you hate to book shore excursions, these are the port to avoid as these are the cruise ports with nothing there, or that are just so far from anything that you only option is to book an excursion at them. My favourite ports are the ones where you can simply stroll from your ship and in the heart of your destination. Either that or you dock next to a metro station or within walking distance of an easy to explore on your own cruise destination and to be honest, I get frustrated when you get to a port and there is nothing there- it is a just a waste of a day on holiday and a waste of your time. Sadly, I have visited a number of these ports over the years and they are the ports that feature in this list where I go through the top 10 cruise destinations you will want to book a shore excursion at. In this video, I look at the Mormugao, Port Moresby, Nynashamn, Motril, Port Klang, Le Verdon, Puerto Madryn, Tilbury, Hambantota and Laem Chabang.
