Your Shore Time is a shore excursion specialist now available to JLT agents. They cover 200+ cruise ports worldwide and offer experiences that are often priced lower than booking direct through the cruise lines. For agents looking to support cruise clients without added complexity, this supplier is worth exploring.
What They Offer
Your Shore Time focuses on one thing: making port days count. Their portfolio includes guided cultural tours, adventure activities, culinary experiences, and private transfers. Coverage spans the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
What stands out is their approach. Small group sizes. Vetted local guides. Flexible options that work around cruise schedules. These are experiences designed to leave clients with stories to tell when they get home.
Why this matters for JLT agents: Shore excursions are widely seen as a part of a cruise trip where agents can add meaningful value. Many cruise clients book excursions separately or through the cruise line without realising alternatives exist. Having a dedicated supplier means you can offer a more tailored experience, and your client sees you as the person who thought of everything.
Who This Works For
Your Shore Time fits a range of cruise clients:
Couples looking for romantic or cultural experiences ashore. Families who want interactive, kid-friendly activities without the large group tour feel. Small groups and multi-generational parties who need flexibility. First-time cruisers who feel uncertain about shore excursion options.
The mix-and-match model means you are not locked into rigid packages. You can tailor each port day to what your client wants, rather than what happens to be available onboard.
Why this matters for JLT agents: Many cruise clients appreciate guidance when choosing excursions. The agent who helps curate the shore experience, who knows which Dubrovnik tour avoids the crowds or which Caribbean beach club suits families, often builds stronger client relationships. Your Shore Time gives you options to work with.
Pricing and Value
Your Shore Time prices are often lower than cruise line excursion rates. For clients on longer itineraries where shore costs add up, this can make a noticeable difference.
The pricing model gives you room to work with margins while still delivering value for your client. They pay less than they might onboard. You earn on the booking. It works for both sides.
Why this matters for JLT agents: Many cruise clients assume shore excursions are expensive. When you can offer a comparable or better experience at a lower price, it helps build trust. That trust often leads to referrals and repeat bookings.
Agent Support
Your Shore Time has a dedicated trade team that understands what agents need: clear communication, responsive support, and confidence that when you recommend an excursion, it delivers.
Their platform gives you access to the full range of global shore excursions. You can search by port, filter by activity type, and build itineraries that match your client brief.
Why this matters for JLT agents: A supplier that responds quickly and keeps booking straightforward makes your job easier. That matters when you’re juggling multiple enquiries.
What This Means in Practice
Cruise bookings are growing. Clients want more from their holidays than what the ship offers. Shore excursions are becoming a bigger part of the conversation.
Your Shore Time gives you a reliable partner for this part of the journey. Good range, competitive value, and support that works. If you’re building or growing a cruise niche, it’s one to add to your list.
