Have you looked at a shore excursion list, seen four tours of the same town at three prices, and had no idea which one gets you back before the ship leaves? Do the sea days blur into each other by the fourth one?
Cruise Excursion Planner sorts the days out. Each port gets a plan built around the actual time alongside, and the sea days get something to do that is not queuing for the buffet.
Short answer: Cruise Excursion Planner is a free EizTools tool that turns a cruise itinerary into a port by port plan, matching excursions and independent options to the hours the ship is actually alongside.
What is Cruise Excursion Planner?
Cruise Excursion Planner is a day planner for cruise passengers. You give it the ports and the times in each one, and it plans what fits, whether you book through the ship or go independently.
The constraint that shapes everything on a cruise is the all aboard time, which is usually thirty minutes before sailing. A plan that ignores it is not a plan, it is a gamble with your passport in a cabin drawer.
Why Use Cruise Excursion Planner?
What it handles well
- Plans against real time alongside, not against a whole day
- Separates what needs booking ahead from what you can decide on the gangway
- Gives sea days a shape, which most cruise planning ignores entirely
- Works for both ship excursions and independent arrangements
What you confirm yourself
- Port times change with weather and tides. The ship's daily paper is the truth
- Tender ports add an hour or more each way that is easy to underestimate
- Independent tours carry the risk of missing the ship. The line's own do not
- Visa and shore pass rules differ by port and by nationality
How Does Cruise Excursion Planner Work?
Type the sailing into the prompt box: the ship, the ports with arrival and departure times, who is travelling and what you enjoy. Pick a model, set timeframe and format, then generate.
The plan lands in the result card. Export it as a TXT file before you sail, because it needs to open with no signal at sea, and use the listen action on the tender queue. Each version generated this session stays listed, so one plan for a couple and one for the whole family can both be kept.
Port Days, Sea Days And Sailing Times
| Time alongside | What realistically fits |
|---|---|
| Under 5 hours | The port town on foot, or one short booked excursion and back |
| 6 to 8 hours | One inland trip or two sights, with a hard turnaround time set |
| Full day, 10 hours plus | A city an hour away, a beach day, or a longer tour with lunch |
| Overnight in port | Evening ashore, which most passengers skip and is usually the best part |
Set Timeframe to Week for a standard sailing and Format to Timeline, which puts the day in order and keeps the all aboard time visible. Buffer time is the toggle to leave on, since it builds the margin between the last stop and the gangway.
Caution If you travel independently and miss the ship, catching up is your cost and your problem. Set your own turnaround at least ninety minutes before all aboard, and stick to it.
Tips
- Give the tool the sailing times, not the port names alone
- Say whether a port is tender only, because it changes the usable hours
- Plan one easy day after two busy ones. Cruise fatigue is real
- Use the notes toggle to keep booking references in the same document
- Ask for sea day options as well, so those days do not vanish
Free, unmetered and open without signing in: that is the whole arrangement on EizTools. No quota tracks what you produce, and the engine can change from one generation to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I book excursions through the cruise line?
The ship waits for its own tours and not for independent ones. On tight port calls that guarantee is worth the extra cost, and on long ones independent options usually win.
Does Cruise Excursion Planner know my ship's schedule?
Only what you type in. Copy the port times from your booking confirmation into the prompt, since those times are what the whole plan hangs on.
Can it plan for a family with young children?
Yes. Set Traveler Type in the prompt and say the ages. The pace and the choice of excursions change considerably once children are in the brief.
Is Cruise Excursion Planner free?
Yes. No card and no trial period. Plan every port separately if that suits you better than one document covering the whole sailing.
Cruising gives you a lot of destinations and very little time in each. Deciding in advance what one port is for beats standing on a quayside reading a laminated sign.
