This Phuket city adventure is packed with picture-perfect moments and designed especially for cruise passengers, with timing planned so you never worry about pickup or getting back on board.

Next, soak up classic Andaman panoramas from Karon Viewpoint, where your friendly guide helps you pose and capture the best angles. Choose the classic city tour with Karon Viewpoint only, or upgrade with an extra stop at Rock Beach Swing, where sky stairs, rustic swings and ocean-view seats create scroll-stopping content before you step straight back onto your cruise ship.
