ShorePool
For cruise passengers and private guides

Share a private shore tour with the people on your sailing.

Private tours beat the big ship bus, but they cost a lot for one family. ShorePool fills the van with Seamates from your own ship. Everyone pays their own seat, the price drops as more people join, and if the tour does not fill, you get every cent back.

How it works

1Pick a tour on your sailingEach tour is for one ship, one port and one day, so everyone in the van is on your cruise and back on board in time.
2Reserve your own seatPay for your seat only, with your own card. No more one person collecting cash from 20 strangers on a roll call.
3Pay less as it fillsWhen the group reaches its minimum, the tour is confirmed. Every extra person lowers the price, and we refund the difference so everyone pays the same.

Organize a tour without the money headache

If you are a roll call organizer or a private guide, ShorePool handles the part nobody enjoys:

  • Every guest pays their own seat by card. You never front the money or chase anyone.
  • A minimum headcount protects you. The tour only goes ahead when it is covered.
  • The price per person updates itself as people join, and late joiners lower it for everyone.
  • Guides get paid for the full group, and dropouts no longer cancel the day.

Send us the tour and we put it live, usually the same day, with a link you can post in your roll call.

Questions

What happens if the tour does not fill?

If the group does not reach its minimum by the deadline on the tour page, the tour is cancelled and everyone gets a full refund to their card.

How does the price drop work?

You pay the price at the minimum group size when you reserve. If more people join, the price per person goes down, and we refund the difference to everyone after booking closes.

Who runs the tours?

Licensed local guides and tour operators in each port. Each tour page names the operator, the meeting point and the timing so you are back on board well before all aboard.

Can I cancel my seat?

Each tour page shows the cancellation terms set with the guide. Before the minimum is reached, cancelling is free.

How do I meet the others before the trip?
