Top Shore Excursions for your Scenic Aura 16 Night Mayapur, Murshidabad, Motihari & More Cruise

Q: What time is my ship in New Delhi?

Scenic Aura is in New Delhi on Monday, October 4, 2027 and on Tuesday, October 5, 2027. If the cruise line changes those hours, we’ll move your tour to a time that fits or refund it in full, except on bookings marked All Sales Final.

Q: Can I book tours for my other ports?

Yes. Your cruise also stops in Mayapur, Murshidabad, Motihari, Kalna and Chandannagar. Each day of your cruise has its own tab on this page. Tours for your other ports are on our parent site, Cool Destinations.

Q: Why book shore excursions with Cool Delhi instead of my cruise line?

You often pay less than for a similar tour through the ship, and you choose from every tour in port instead of the ship’s shortlist. You keep the same peace of mind: Guaranteed Return to Ship, free cancellation on most tours and help 24/7.

Q: Can I book for a group, children or someone with limited mobility?

Yes. Groups can book online, up to each tour’s limit. For groups of 10 or more, call us and our group bookings team will help. Each tour page lists its age limits, child prices and accessibility details. If you need to check something specific, call us before you book.

Q: Do I earn rewards on shore excursions?

Yes. Shore excursions earn rewards like every booking you make directly with Cool Delhi, and you can spend them on your next trip. See how rewards work.

Q: What does Guaranteed Return to Ship mean?

Book a tour that ends at least an hour before all-aboard. If a delay on that tour ever makes you miss your ship, Cool Delhi pays to get you to the ship’s next port of call, including a hotel if you need one.

Q: How much time should I leave before all-aboard?

Pick a tour that ends at least an hour before all-aboard (all-aboard is usually 30 to 60 minutes before your ship sails). Your cruise page shows the hours your ship is in New Delhi, and each tour page shows how long the tour lasts. Booking two tours on the same day? Leave at least an hour between them. Book this way and our Guaranteed Return to Ship has you covered.

Q: What if my ship arrives late or its hours in port change?

Change your tour yourself under Bookings in your account, or call us any time. We’ll move you to a time that fits your new hours, and if none does, you get a full refund, except on bookings marked All Sales Final.

Q: What if my ship skips New Delhi?

If your cruise line cancels the stop in New Delhi, for weather or a change of itinerary, you get a full refund with no fees or, if you prefer, the same amount toward an excursion at another port of call. Bookings marked All Sales Final are not refunded.

Q: Where do I meet my tour?

Most tours start within walking distance of the cruise piers. The exact meeting point is in your booking confirmation.
