a. Morning Excursions: 8 AM to 10 AM or ASAP after ship docks, ending by early afternoon to allow boarding from 12 PM to 2 PM.

Early morning arrival into Stockholm, Sweden and immediate Shore Excursion 

    b. Afternoon Excursions: Uncommon because 2 PM MAX is usual return & final boarding times, but if offered: 1 PM to 4 PM, ensuring passengers on-time return for ship's late afternoon or early evening departure. (*e.g. Rome Shore Excursions)

    c. Duration: Most Shore Excursions: 2 to 4 hrs, but can be longer depending on ship’s time in port.  4 hr is adequate for city tours, cultural experiences, or brief major landmark visits, but not enough for Shore Excursions a long distance from port.
