Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 29, 2026
We compare prices so you don't have to.
Beyond The Ship aggregates excursions from multiple providers — GetYourGuide, Viator, and local operators — so you can see your options in one place. We earn a small referral fee when you book through our links. You pay the exact same price as if you'd found the excursion directly. Our recommendations and scores are never influenced by which provider pays more.
Our Model: Consumer Advocacy, Not Sales
We’re not a booking platform. We’re a decision engine. Our job is to help you choose the right excursion for your travel style, comfort level, and cruise-day logistics. When you’re ready to book, we link you directly to the provider — GetYourGuide, Viator, or the local operator — where you complete the purchase at the same price you’d pay going direct.
The provider pays us a small referral fee from their marketing budget. This is how we keep the site free while continuing to research ports, build cruise-specific intelligence, and improve our traveler-match scoring system.
What We Guarantee
- ✓Same price — You never pay more by booking through our links.
- ✓Unbiased scores — Our traveler-match scores, port intelligence, and recommendations are based on objective criteria, never commission rates.
- ✓Multi-provider comparison — We show you options from multiple providers so you can compare, not just buy from one marketplace.
- ✓Full transparency — Links that earn us a commission are clearly identified. We’ll never hide this.
Our Partners
- Viator — A TripAdvisor company and one of the world’s largest marketplaces for tours and activities.
- GetYourGuide — A global platform for booking tours, attractions, and activities worldwide.
We may add additional partners over time. Every partner goes through the same unbiased scoring system.
