One day in Santiago de Compostela

  • One day in-Santiago de Compostela
From 60
Skip the walking of the Camino de Santiago and head straight for the finish line in the town of Santiago de Compostela.
Santiago de Compostela is all panoramic views and preserved history. The end destination of the centuries-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, this medieval town guards the ashes of St. James, the Patron Saint of Spain, in a silver urn kept in a crypt directly below an ornate high altar. Marvel at the old cathedral in Plaza del Obradoiro, visit the Rajoy Palace, and hear ghost tales at Parador Hostal dos Reis Catolicos, a former hospital turned into a posh hotel, as you explore at your pace.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
