Piraeus: Cape Sounion - 5 hours
Meet your guide as you disembark your cruise ship in Piraeus and venture along the scenic coast to Cape Sounion where you visit the ancient ruined Temple of Poseidon.

Mumbai: 9 hours
<div>&#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><em>With a population exceeding 18 million, this one time group of low lying mud flats is now India&rsquo;s economic power base and her most industrialized city, bustling with activity of incredible diversity and complexity, her color and elegance, her wealth corresponding with her historic struggle against poverty. Certain affluent areas give <strong>Bombay</strong> an air of mini&ndash;Manhattan!</em></span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><b>8:30am - 9:30am: &nbsp;</b></span><br />&#x0D; <span>Depart&nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp;&nbsp; pier for the famous Gateway of India en route to Banganga. This Indo-Saracenic archway was built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, and is the city&#39;s most famous landmark.</span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>We then proceed to Banganga via Art Deco Marine Drive also called the Queens Necklace at night due to its curve shape around the bay.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><b>9:30am - 10:30am</b><br />&#x0D; Walk around <strong>Banganga</strong>, the sacred tank surrounded by four hundred-year-old temples and modern skyscrapers. Nowhere are Bombay&rsquo;s paradoxes more evident than at Banganga. Part of an ancient temple complex, the water in this tank is believed to come from the Holy Ganges. It sprung forth when Rama, the exiled hero of the epic Ramayana stopped at the spot five thousand years ago, in search of his kidnapped wife Sita. Overcome with fatigue and thirst, he asked his brother Laxman to bring him some water. Laxman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the Ganga, over a thousand miles away. Although the story is the stuff of legend, the tank has always been sacred. On pious occasions, thousands turn up to take a ritual dip in its mossy waters, and offer flowers at the ancient Banganga Temples.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><b>10:30am - 10:50am</b><br />&#x0D; Drive to Dhobi Ghat.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><b>10:50 - 11:15</b><br />&#x0D; Visit the `Dhobi Ghat&rsquo;, the city&rsquo;s open-air laundry! where &ldquo;Dhobis&rsquo; (washermen) attend to an astounding quantity of washing daily. Clothes, linen, towels&hellip; are washed in small open air cubicles rented out each day. An itemized account is logged in a notebook and clothes collected from households are returned a week later. Through the apparent chaos incredibly nothing gets lost from a countless number of pieces and most clothes somehow survive the beating they receive on the washing stones.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>11:15pm - 11:45pm</strong>&nbsp;<br />&#x0D; Drive to Churchgate Railway Station.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>11:45am - 12:15pm</strong><br />&#x0D; We stop at the Churchgate Railway Station to see the `<strong>Dabbawallahs</strong>&rsquo;, members of the Bombay Union of Tiffin Box Carriers, described by Prince Charles as the symbol of this enigmatic and intriguing city.&nbsp; Each morning, the 2500 dabbawallahs call on suburban housewives who pack a freshly cooked lunch into small circular aluminum or stainless steel containers - `dabbas&rsquo;.&nbsp; Typically the dabbawallahs collect 30-40 boxes, range them out on a long pole and cycle to the nearest station. Here he hands them over to a fellow dabbawallah who then transports them into the city for delivery to the consumer.&nbsp; Over 100,000 lunches of maybe sabze (vegetable curry), chapattis (Indian bread), dal (lentils) and pickle, make their way daily across town to the breadwinner and back again. The service which costs a few rupees a week, is a good example of the fine division of labor in India, reliable and efficient for the dabbawallahs pride themselves on never losing a lunch.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>12:15pm - 12:30pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Drive to `Khyber&rsquo; restaurant for lunch which specializes in the Northwest frontier cuisine.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>12:30pm - 2:00pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Lunch<strong> (on own)</strong></span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>2:00pm - 2:30pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Drive to Mani Bhawan passing through the teeming commercial areas, Crawford Market and many handsome buildings of Victorian Bombay, including the University and Victoria Terminus.&nbsp;</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>2:30pm - 3:15pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Visit the Gandhi Museum. Located on leafy Laburnum Road, a quiet lane named after its shady trees, <strong>Mani Bhavan</strong> is the old Mumbai residence of Mahatma Gandhi. It&#39;s a pretty, two-storied structure that now houses a reference library with over 2000 books, a photo exhibition of the Mahatma&#39;s life, and well preserved memorabilia, including an old charkha or spinning wheel that Gandhiji used to use.&nbsp;</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>3:15pm - 4:45pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Before returning&nbsp; to the&nbsp; pier, we spend some time where it all began, where the &nbsp;tide of &nbsp;human life rolls down the center of the street, unruffled by vehicles from all quarters ploughing their way through it. No visit to Bombay is complete without a foray into the bazaars of <strong>Bhuleshwar.</strong>&nbsp; The city&rsquo;s densest concentration of lifestyle and retail jewelry stores is a crush of shop fronts, street stalls, hawkers and handicrafts and a seething mass of people. It may look like absolute chaos but the areas are closely knit, and cohesively built around the traditional residential complex, temples, flower markets, community halls, cow shelter and bazaars. Within a few square kilometers there are a dozen bazaars and more commodities for sale than you will see probably anywhere else in a lifetime.</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>&nbsp; </span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>4: 45 &nbsp;- &nbsp;5:30</strong><br />&#x0D; Drive back to the ship.</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><br />&#x0D; <span><span><strong>Added Value:</strong></span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- &nbsp; &nbsp; A good overview of the unique aspects of this unique city. </span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><br />&#x0D; <span><span>- Tour Duration: 8 &ndash; 9 hours</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- Tour can operate : Morning</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- Physical activity level : Moderate</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- Wheelchair Accessible : No</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><br />&#x0D; <span><span><strong>Inclusions:</strong><br />&#x0D; - Transportation by an air-conditioned vehicle&nbsp;<br />&#x0D; - Services of a local English speaking guide.<br />&#x0D; - All the entrance fees and camera fees.<br />&#x0D; - Credit card and bank charges.<br />&#x0D; - All the prevailing taxes. &nbsp;</span></span></div>&#x0D; </div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D;
FULL DAY MARVELS OF MUMBAI
<span><span>Proceed to <strong>Gateway of India</strong>, the city&rsquo;s most famous landmark &ndash;an Indo-Saracenic archway built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. It was originally conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&amp;O steamers from England; today it is remembered more often as the place from which the British staged their final departure. You will make a stop here for photographs.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>See the highlights of the city from the comfort of your minivan as you set off for a tour of Mumbai city. Your tour begins with the Gateway of India (PLEASE STOP FOR A WHILE SO THE GUEST CAN TAKE PHOTO), the city&#39;s most famous landmark - an Indo-Saracenic archway built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. It was originally conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&amp;O steamers from England; today it is remembered more often as the place from which the British staged their final departure.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Continue through Marine Drive, Mumbai&#39;s seaside promenade, an eight-lane highway with a wide pavement. Its graceful curve sweeps from the skyscrapers at Nariman Point to the foot of Malabar Hill. This hill is Mumbai&#39;s ritziest neighborhood. Popular since the 18th century because of its forested slopes, fresh sea breezes and panoramic views, merchants and colonial governors built many mansions and bungalows on its hillsides.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Your drive includes a look at a most remarkable railway station. Inspired by St. Pancras Station in London, the Victoria Terminus was built during Queen Victoria&#39;s Golden Jubilee year. It is an extraordinary conglomeration of domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets in a style that was described by journalist James Cameron as &quot;Victorian-Gothic-Saracenic-Italianate-Oriental-St.&nbsp; Pancras-Baroque&quot;. The first train in India left from this station in April 1853; today half a million commuters use the station every day. </span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Depart to <strong>Church Gate Station</strong> and spend some time watching the <strong>dabba-wallahs</strong>, the members of the Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association. Every day 4,000 of them deliver fresh, home-cooked food from 100,000 suburban kitchens to offices in the downtown area. Each lunch is prepared by a loving wife or mother, and packed into a set of stackable aluminum boxes. The meals are carried to their hungry recipients dangling from shoulder-poles and bicycle handlebars, and stacked on decorated handcarts. Tins are rarely, if ever, lost, and always find their way home again to be washed up for the next day&rsquo;s lunch.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Even if you are not possessed of an interest in other people&rsquo;s dirty laundry, you&rsquo;ll be fascinated by the <strong>dhobi ghats</strong>, your next stop. Each morning washing from all over Mumbai is brought here to be soaped, soaked, boiled, beaten, and thrashed. The next day, after being aired, pressed, folded and wrapped, the bundles are returned from whence they came. The secret that keeps the operation running smoothly is the coded symbol that each dhobi-wallah places on every item. Invisible to the untrained eye, this mark ensures that nothing will be lost.

FULL DAY THE CAVES OF ELEPHANTA
<span><span>More than a thousand years ago, Hindu craftsmen carved columns and sculptures out of a series of caves located on an island off the shores of Mumbai, creating a temple complex dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Portuguese named the island Elephanta, after the large statue of an elephant they found near the spot where they docked their ships. Come and discover the unique beauty and intriguing tales of these temple caves with today&rsquo;s memorable excursion.</span></span><br />&#x0D; <span><span>&nbsp;<br />&#x0D; Travel by minivan vehicle to the Gateway of India, the city&rsquo;s most recognized landmark. Built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, the archway was originally conceived as an entry point for people arriving on steamers from England. Today, the gateway serves as a launching point for your own exploration of the Elephanta Temple.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Boarding a motor boat, enjoy the approximately one hour and thirty minutes cruise to the Elephanta landing. From the jetty </span></span><span><span>you have the option of either taking the mini train or walking approximately 15 minutes to the base</span></span><span><span> of the long stairway which leads to the top of the hill, where the caves are located. As you enter, you will see a magnificent sculpture of Shiva as Nataraj, showing an enraptured expression as he removes the veil of ignorance. The most outstanding sculpture is a bust of Trimurti&mdash;the three-faced Shiva representing the Hindu trinity, Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. In other panels, Shiva is depicted in service to humanity as he brings the River Ganges to Earth, and at his most fearsome as he crushes the demon of Andhaka. Later, board the motor boat for return cruise to the Gateway.</span></span><br />&#x0D; <br />&#x0D; <span><span>Re-board your vehicle for the transfer back to your ship.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; <table border="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="">&#x0D; <tbody>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>TIMING</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>ITINERARY &amp; POINTS OF INTEREST</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>DISTANCE &amp; TERRAIN</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>W/C FRIENDLY</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>00h00 - 00h15</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Depart from the pier by minivan to the Gateway of India</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; <td rowspan="5"><span><span>This tour is NOT suitable for guests in wheelchairs; and those with mobility issues</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>00h15 - 01h45</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Board the motor boat and cruise to Elephanta Island</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>01h45 - 03h45</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Arrive and visit Elephanta Island</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>1.5km / Uneven, cobblestones / 125 long steps each way </span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>03h45 - 05h15</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Board your motor boat and return to Mumbai</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>05h15 &ndash; 05h30</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Return to the pier</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; </tbody>&#x0D; </table>&#x0D;

Optional Private Excursions

Avoid the crowds and hustle and bustle associated with a group activity. For a memorable trip ashore, we invite you to consider a private shore excursion. Enjoy the undivided attention of your own driver/guide and the flexibility of experiencing the aspects of the local culture that most interest you. Below are just some samples of the private shore excursions we can arrange for you. Let us personalize your experience!

Nowhere are Bombay&rsquo;s paradoxes more evident than at Banganga. Part of an ancient temple complex, the water in this tank is believed to come from the Holy Ganges. It sprung forth when Rama, the exiled hero of the epic Ramayana stopped at the spot five thousand years ago, in search of his kidnapped wife Sita. Overcome with fatigue and thirst, he asked his brother Laxman to bring him some water. Laxman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the Ganga, over a thousand miles away. Although the story is the stuff of legend, the tank has always been sacred. On pious occasions, thousands turn up to take a ritual dip in its mossy waters, and offer flowers at the ancient Banganga Temples.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><b>10:30am - 10:50am</b><br />&#x0D; Drive to Dhobi Ghat.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><b>10:50 - 11:15</b><br />&#x0D; Visit the `Dhobi Ghat&rsquo;, the city&rsquo;s open-air laundry! where &ldquo;Dhobis&rsquo; (washermen) attend to an astounding quantity of washing daily. Clothes, linen, towels&hellip; are washed in small open air cubicles rented out each day. An itemized account is logged in a notebook and clothes collected from households are returned a week later.

Here he hands them over to a fellow dabbawallah who then transports them into the city for delivery to the consumer.&nbsp; Over 100,000 lunches of maybe sabze (vegetable curry), chapattis (Indian bread), dal (lentils) and pickle, make their way daily across town to the breadwinner and back again. The service which costs a few rupees a week, is a good example of the fine division of labor in India, reliable and efficient for the dabbawallahs pride themselves on never losing a lunch.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>12:15pm - 12:30pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Drive to `Khyber&rsquo; restaurant for lunch which specializes in the Northwest frontier cuisine.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>12:30pm - 2:00pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Lunch<strong> (on own)</strong></span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>2:00pm - 2:30pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Drive to Mani Bhawan passing through the teeming commercial areas, Crawford Market and many handsome buildings of Victorian Bombay, including the University and Victoria Terminus.&nbsp;</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>2:30pm - 3:15pm</strong><br />&#x0D; Visit the Gandhi Museum.

No visit to Bombay is complete without a foray into the bazaars of <strong>Bhuleshwar.</strong>&nbsp; The city&rsquo;s densest concentration of lifestyle and retail jewelry stores is a crush of shop fronts, street stalls, hawkers and handicrafts and a seething mass of people. It may look like absolute chaos but the areas are closely knit, and cohesively built around the traditional residential complex, temples, flower markets, community halls, cow shelter and bazaars. Within a few square kilometers there are a dozen bazaars and more commodities for sale than you will see probably anywhere else in a lifetime.</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>&nbsp; </span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span><strong>4: 45 &nbsp;- &nbsp;5:30</strong><br />&#x0D; Drive back to the ship.</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><br />&#x0D; <span><span><strong>Added Value:</strong></span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- &nbsp; &nbsp; A good overview of the unique aspects of this unique city. </span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><br />&#x0D; <span><span>- Tour Duration: 8 &ndash; 9 hours</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- Tour can operate : Morning</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- Physical activity level : Moderate</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><span><span>- Wheelchair Accessible : No</span></span></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div><br />&#x0D; <span><span><strong>Inclusions:</strong><br />&#x0D; - Transportation by an air-conditioned vehicle&nbsp;<br />&#x0D; - Services of a local English speaking guide.<br />&#x0D; - All the entrance fees and camera fees.<br />&#x0D; - Credit card and bank charges.<br />&#x0D; - All the prevailing taxes. &nbsp;</span></span></div>&#x0D; </div>&#x0D; &#x0D; <div></div>&#x0D;

It was originally conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&amp;O steamers from England; today it is remembered more often as the place from which the British staged their final departure. You will make a stop here for photographs.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>See the highlights of the city from the comfort of your minivan as you set off for a tour of Mumbai city. Your tour begins with the Gateway of India (PLEASE STOP FOR A WHILE SO THE GUEST CAN TAKE PHOTO), the city&#39;s most famous landmark - an Indo-Saracenic archway built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. It was originally conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&amp;O steamers from England; today it is remembered more often as the place from which the British staged their final departure.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Continue through Marine Drive, Mumbai&#39;s seaside promenade, an eight-lane highway with a wide pavement. Its graceful curve sweeps from the skyscrapers at Nariman Point to the foot of Malabar Hill. This hill is Mumbai&#39;s ritziest neighborhood. Popular since the 18th century because of its forested slopes, fresh sea breezes and panoramic views, merchants and colonial governors built many mansions and bungalows on its hillsides.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Your drive includes a look at a most remarkable railway station. Inspired by St. Pancras Station in London, the Victoria Terminus was built during Queen Victoria&#39;s Golden Jubilee year. It is an extraordinary conglomeration of domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets in a style that was described by journalist James Cameron as &quot;Victorian-Gothic-Saracenic-Italianate-Oriental-St.&nbsp; Pancras-Baroque&quot;. The first train in India left from this station in April 1853; today half a million commuters use the station every day. </span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Depart to <strong>Church Gate Station</strong> and spend some time watching the <strong>dabba-wallahs</strong>, the members of the Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association. Every day 4,000 of them deliver fresh, home-cooked food from 100,000 suburban kitchens to offices in the downtown area. Each lunch is prepared by a loving wife or mother, and packed into a set of stackable aluminum boxes. The meals are carried to their hungry recipients dangling from shoulder-poles and bicycle handlebars, and stacked on decorated handcarts. Tins are rarely, if ever, lost, and always find their way home again to be washed up for the next day&rsquo;s lunch.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Even if you are not possessed of an interest in other people&rsquo;s dirty laundry, you&rsquo;ll be fascinated by the <strong>dhobi ghats</strong>, your next stop. Each morning washing from all over Mumbai is brought here to be soaped, soaked, boiled, beaten, and thrashed. The next day, after being aired, pressed, folded and wrapped, the bundles are returned from whence they came. The secret that keeps the operation running smoothly is the coded symbol that each dhobi-wallah places on every item. Invisible to the untrained eye, this mark ensures that nothing will be lost. Stop here for photos that you&rsquo;ll never be able to duplicate anywhere else.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <strong><span><span>Proceed for Taj Mahal Hotel for Lunch on direct payment basis. </span></span></strong><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>You will continue to The <strong>Prince of Wales Museum</strong>, crowned by a white Mughal-style dome, the finest work done by architect George Wittet, who also designed the Gateway of India. </span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Return to pier. </span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; <table border="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="">&#x0D; <tbody>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>TIMING</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>ITINERARY &amp; POINTS OF INTEREST</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>DISTANCE &amp; TERRAIN</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>W/C FRIENDLY</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>09h30 &ndash; 11h00</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Orientation tour of Mumbai, Gateway of India, Malabar Hill and VT Station.&nbsp; </span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; <td rowspan="9"><span><span>This tour is not suitable for guests in wheelchairs; and those with mobility issues</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>11h00 &ndash; 11h20</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Proceed to Churchgate station</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>11h20 &ndash; 11h40</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Watch the Dabba-wallas at Churchgate</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>10 meters / even</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>11h40 &ndash; 12h15</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Drive to Dhobi Ghat</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>12h15 &ndash; 12h45</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Visit &nbsp;Dhobi Ghat</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>100 meters / Flat / 5 steps</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>12h45 &ndash; 13h15</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Drive to Taj Mahal Hotel for lunch on direct payment basis</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>13h15 &ndash; 14h15</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Lunch at Taj Mahal Hotel</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>150 meters / Flat / 4 steps</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>14h15 &ndash; 15h30</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Drive to Prince of wales Museum and visit</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span>15h30 &ndash; 16h00</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Return to pier</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>50 meters / Uneven</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; </tbody>&#x0D; </table>&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;

FULL DAY THE CAVES OF ELEPHANTA
<span><span>More than a thousand years ago, Hindu craftsmen carved columns and sculptures out of a series of caves located on an island off the shores of Mumbai, creating a temple complex dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Portuguese named the island Elephanta, after the large statue of an elephant they found near the spot where they docked their ships. Come and discover the unique beauty and intriguing tales of these temple caves with today&rsquo;s memorable excursion.</span></span><br />&#x0D; <span><span>&nbsp;<br />&#x0D; Travel by minivan vehicle to the Gateway of India, the city&rsquo;s most recognized landmark. Built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, the archway was originally conceived as an entry point for people arriving on steamers from England. Today, the gateway serves as a launching point for your own exploration of the Elephanta Temple.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Boarding a motor boat, enjoy the approximately one hour and thirty minutes cruise to the Elephanta landing. From the jetty </span></span><span><span>you have the option of either taking the mini train or walking approximately 15 minutes to the base</span></span><span><span> of the long stairway which leads to the top of the hill, where the caves are located. As you enter, you will see a magnificent sculpture of Shiva as Nataraj, showing an enraptured expression as he removes the veil of ignorance. The most outstanding sculpture is a bust of Trimurti&mdash;the three-faced Shiva representing the Hindu trinity, Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. In other panels, Shiva is depicted in service to humanity as he brings the River Ganges to Earth, and at his most fearsome as he crushes the demon of Andhaka. Later, board the motor boat for return cruise to the Gateway.</span></span><br />&#x0D; <br />&#x0D; <span><span>Re-board your vehicle for the transfer back to your ship.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; <table border="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="">&#x0D; <tbody>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>TIMING</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>ITINERARY &amp; POINTS OF INTEREST</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>DISTANCE &amp; TERRAIN</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span><span>W/C FRIENDLY</span></span></strong></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>00h00 - 00h15</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Depart from the pier by minivan to the Gateway of India</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; <td rowspan="5"><span><span>This tour is NOT suitable for guests in wheelchairs; and those with mobility issues</span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>00h15 - 01h45</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Board the motor boat and cruise to Elephanta Island</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>01h45 - 03h45</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Arrive and visit Elephanta Island</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>1.5km / Uneven, cobblestones / 125 long steps each way </span></span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>03h45 - 05h15</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Board your motor boat and return to Mumbai</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span><span><span>05h15 &ndash; 05h30</span></span></span></td>&#x0D; <td><span><span>Return to the pier</span></span></td>&#x0D; <td></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; </tbody>&#x0D; </table>&#x0D;

Helping you create the perfect day is something we take to heart at Seabourn. It's why our lounges and decks are open and inviting, the ambiance relaxed and the variety of activities offered plentiful. You'll find plenty of ways to create the perfect day, over and over again, and all the time to enjoy it. After all, this is your journey, and you can make it anything you want it to be.
Shipboard Policies
  • Medical Emergencies
    Onboard medical facilities are equipped to provide care for unexpected illness and accidents. These basic facilities are not intended or designed for ongoing treatment of pre-existing conditions. If you anticipate a need for medical services, your special requirement must be cleared in writing with Seabourn before your booking can be finalized.

  • Pregnancy Policy
    Seabourn ships do not have specialized facilities and/or treatment required for childbirth, prenatal and early infant care. Those facilities may also not be obtainable ashore in ports of call. Accordingly, Seabourn cannot accept a booking or carry any guest who will be 24 completed weeks or more pregnant on the last day of the intended cruise. All pregnant women are required to produce a physician’s letter stating that mother and baby are in good health, fit to travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk. The letter must also include the estimated date of delivery (EDD).

  • Smoking Policy
    For the comfort of all guests, most public areas on board are smoke-free. Cigarette smoking is permitted ONLY in the following areas:

    • Observation Bar/Lounge – On the starboard side (except during coffee and tea service hours)
    • Sky Bar – At the bar and starboard side deck area (except during Sky Grill food service on Seabourn Pride, Spirit & Legend)
    • Seabourn Square Terrace and Club Terrace – on the starboard side deck area

    Guests are asked to refrain from smoking pipes and cigars anywhere inside the ship, including in guest suites, on verandas and balconies. Cigar and pipe smoking is permitted ONLY on open decks (Seabourn Pride, Spirit & Legend) and ONLY on the starboard side deck area of Seabourn Square Terrace on Seabourn Odyssey, Sojourn & Quest. If you have any doubts about any area, please consult your onboard staff.

  • Special Dietary Needs - Advance Notice Required
    Guests with special dietary needs are asked to notify Seabourn at the time of booking or, at the latest, six weeks before sailing. Guests are also encouraged to take advantage of My Seabourn, where you may personalize your Seabourn cruise experience, select your dining preferences, and manage your reservations and Seabourn Club information. Every effort will be made to comply with special dietary requests.

    For guests with food intolerances or allergies that are not life-threatening, please contact our Reservations Department at 1-800-929-9391.

    For guests with life-threatening food allergies, Seabourn requires that guests provide detailed information to the Access & Compliance Department by completing a Special Requirements Information form (SRI). Guests should indicate on this form which foods may potentially cause a severe reaction. For additional information please visit the Accessible Cruising section of Seabourn's website.

    Guests with a variety of severe food allergies sail with Seabourn regularly. The galley staff on board is accustomed to, and experienced in, dealing with these types of needs. The galley itself has many different areas of food preparation, which can help reduce the possibility of cross-contamination. It is important to note, however, that meals are prepared in open galleys on board the ships, thus there is always the possibility of some cross-contamination. As such, Seabourn cannot guarantee that a guest will not come in contact with those items. Although the Access & Compliance Department will provide the ship with an advance notice of all food allergies detailed on an SRI submitted to them, it is recommended that guests also contact the Maitre d’ upon boarding to review the details of these special dietary needs.

  • Wheelchair Access & Special Needs
    Seabourn is committed to providing safe, easy, and accessible accommodations for all persons with disabilities, to the extent that is feasible.

    Seabourn does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. However, some needs require adequate time to prepare for a guest's arrival. It is recommended that guests make every effort to contact the Access & Compliance Department and to submit a Special Requirements Information form (SRI) well in advance of the departure date. It is recommended that guests submit an SRI upon booking or a minimum of 45 days prior to departure.

    Guests who are unable to care for their basic needs (e.g. dressing, eating, and attending safety drills) MUST have a capable traveling companion. The medical staff on board is not available for daily care unless an individual is hospitalized in the ship's Medical Center. In limited situations (either on board or ashore), Seabourn may find it necessary to ask the individual to make alternative travel arrangements, such as if an individual with a disability is unable to satisfy certain specified safety and other criteria, even when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids and services.

    WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY ONBOARD
    Seabourn's vessels have specially designed suites for guests who need mobility assistance. If you have not booked one of these accessible suites but instead will be using a standard suite, you need to know about some limitations that adversely impact maneuverability, especially ingress and egress into bathrooms. For example, bathroom dimensions, doorsills, and the height of bathtubs in standard suites are often difficult to negotiate for guests who have limited mobility. Additionally, standard suite doors and hallways may be too narrow for a wheelchair or scooter to maneuver into and out of the suite. Please note: For safety reasons, these mobility devices must be stored and charged in the guests' suites. If you have booked a non-accessible suite, you should know that most suite entry doors measure 23 inches wide.

    Quest, Sojourn and Odyssey:
    The Quest, Sojourn, and Odyssey offer Wheelchair Accessible Suites with features such as wider entry doors, roll-in showers with grab bars, benches/seats, hand-held shower nozzles, and lowered closet and towel rods. If you have booked a Wheelchair Accessible Suite, you should know that Wheelchair accessible suite entry doors measure a minimum of 32 inches wide.

    Accessible suite locations are noted on the Deck Plans for each ship

    PERSONAL MOBILITY EQUIPMENT ONBOARD
    For the safety of all guests and crew and to enhance accessibility, Seabourn strongly recommends that all personal electric mobility equipment meet the following criteria:

    • Width: 23" maximum in order to be accommodated in a standard suite, unless collapsible to a width of 23" or less
    • Weight: 100 lbs. maximum without battery
    • Batteries: Must be Gel or Dry Cell or AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) only

    Seabourn recognizes that for some people, a larger scooter may be essential. If you believe you need a larger scooter, please contact the Access & Compliance Department to discuss your requirements. For the safety of all guests and crew, scooters and other mobility equipment need to be securely stored and charged in the guest's suite; not in hallways or elevator lobbies. Scooters left in hallways and elevator lobbies could restrict people needing to travel through these areas in an emergency, particularly other guests using mobility aids.

    Seabourn is not able to provide complimentary wheelchair assistance for any purpose other than embarkation, disembarkation, and emergency situations. Seabourn wheelchairs are not available for shore excursions or for use on board. If you will require regular use of a wheelchair, it is recommended that you bring your own wheelchair with you. You may also make advance rental arrangements prior to your sailing and have a wheelchair delivered directly to the ship for use on board and in ports of call.

    Seabourn recommends Special Needs at Sea and CareVacations/CruiseShipAssist as vendors for delivery of mobility devices. Please contact these vendors directly for pricing and availability.

    SHORESIDE WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANCE

    Airports and/or Train Stations
    Wheelchair assistance that is requested for airports or train stations must be done directly through the airline or rail station. Seabourn is not able to arrange for wheelchair assistance at airports or train stations.

    Land Tours and/or Shore Excursions
    Because facilities in ports around the world vary significantly, wheelchair accommodations may not be available for some land tours and/or shore excursions. Furthermore, many transportation vehicles around the world do not have wheelchair lifts. It may be necessary for Seabourn to make alternate transportation arrangements such as a sedan vehicle. This requires that a guest who uses a wheelchair be able to transfer from their wheelchair to the front or back seat of a sedan. Due to the limited number of lift-equipped vehicles in foreign locations, guests may incur additional costs for transportation related to airport transfers, shore excursions, and tour/hotel packages. Please note, lift equipped transportation within the United States may be arranged without additional costs. For information on alternative transportation arrangements and associated costs please contact the Access & Compliance Department. Please advise Seabourn as far in advance as possible of any special needs for transfers. This will help to ensure availability of the appropriate vehicle(s) and for Seabourn to provide an estimate of additional associated costs. Guests should be aware that certain third party shore excursion facilities may not be fully accessible to guests with disabilities. Although Seabourn endeavors to make sure these companies comply with legal requirements, they cannot guarantee that all are able to provide facilities that are accessible to individuals with disabilities. For detailed information on accessibility of shore excursions, it is strongly recommend that guests contact the Shore Excursions Department prior to embarkation at 1-800-984-3225 (or locally at 206-626-9187) or visit the Shore Excursions Office on board.

    Please be advised that all pre-arranged mobility equipment rentals must be made by the guest and the third party provider. Consequently, guests assume the entire risk of utilizing these third party services subject only to whatever terms or arrangements are made by the guest or on guest's behalf with the service provider. Refund issues must be dealt with solely between the guest and the service provider. Seabourn recommends contacting one of these companies to confirm your arrangements as soon as possible in order to ensure the availability of your specific requests.

    SERVICE ANIMALS
    Only service animals are permitted on board Seabourn ships. Service animals are defined as those animals that are individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. Seabourn does not permit guests to bring pets, therapy/companion animals, and other animals that do not meet the definition of service animals. Any questions regarding service animals may be addressed by the Access & Compliance Department.

    Your itinerary may include ports of call that have very specific and strict requirements that need to be met prior to service animals being allowed off the ship. Please be sure you understand these requirements for each port of call. The best places to obtain specific information on required documentation and immunizations for your service animal are the U.S. Department of Agriculture's website, local customs offices in the specific ports, and from your service animal's veterinarian. All documentation and immunization requirements are established by government authorities and not by Seabourn. Should you need assistance in locating this information, please contact the Access & Compliance Department.

    To board the ship, service animals must have current vaccinations. Records confirming the vaccination status should be provided to the Access & Compliance Department prior to your departure. It is also recommended that you carry the immunization records with you in case they are required at any port of call. If you do not have the proper documentation and proof of vaccinations for your service animal, or if there are local quarantine requirements, your service animal will be denied the right to leave the ship. If your service animal is denied the right to leave the ship, the staff on board will work with you to determine what actions may be possible to allow you to visit the port without your service animal. Please note that in your absence, you will need to provide for the care and supervision of your service animal. Except in those circumstances where your service animal has been denied disembarkation, you may not leave your service animal unattended on the vessel or in your suite at any time.

    DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING GUESTS
    To help maximize the cruise experience for guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, Seabourn has made the following items available:

    • With advance notice, suite kits that include a visual and tactile alert for someone knocking at the door, the phone ringing, or an alarm.
    • Suite televisions capable of showing closed captioning (some satellite feeds do not transmit with captioning, so this feature is available only when the signal the ship receives has captioning).
    • Telephones with amplified sound for suites.
    • Assistive Listening Systems with portable receivers (available on Quest, Sojourn and Odyssey only) in the show lounges to assist guests who are hard of hearing during performances.
    • Written safety information and a copy of the lifeboat drill safety speech.

    BLIND OR LOW VISION GUESTS
    To help maximize the cruise experience for guests who are blind or have low vision, Seabourn has made the following items available:

    • Downloadable daily activities, news, and menus for guests with laptops with screen reader programs.
    • With 45 days notice, large print or Braille menus describing the inspired cuisine offered across a myriad of venues, from the elegant Dining Room to the casual dining options.
    • A familiarization tour of the vessel upon arrival.

    OXYGEN DELIVERIES ONBOARD
    Guests requiring continuous or intermittent oxygen for chronic conditions must make their own arrangements prior to travel. Seabourn ships are not equipped to provide guests with these services other than on an emergency basis in the Ship's Medical Center. For security and safety reasons, Seabourn has selected CareVacations/CruiseShipAssist and Special Needs at Sea as the only outside vendors permitted to deliver oxygen supplies to their ships. Oxygen and/or oxygen equipment deliveries will NOT be accepted from any other companies.

Please note that Seabourn staff and crew are not permitted to handle oxygen and/or oxygen equipment during the embarkation and disembarkation process. Thus, guests must be able to handle their supplies if they bring their own. Please contact the Access & Compliance Department prior to sailing if you will require oxygen while on your cruise.

    Please Note: In accordance with FAA regulations, airlines have restrictions concerning traveling with oxygen and oxygen containers. It is the traveler’s responsibility to be familiar with and in compliance of the regulations of the airline they are traveling on.

    CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
    Seabourn does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. They seek to the extent feasible to accommodate the needs of all individuals with disabilities, including children. However, due to the sensitivity of caring for any child, with or without a disability, they must first determine what the child's specific needs are so they may properly evaluate and determine the best and safest way to meet these needs. Seabourn encourages families to contact the Access & Compliance Department prior to their cruise, to evaluate and determine what the child's specific needs will be and how best to accommodate those needs.
