# Marella Voyager Kusadasi shore excursions Source: https://kusadasitravelagency.com/cruise-ships/marella-voyager-kusadasi-shore-excursions Language: English Marella Voyager guests looking beyond a standard coach excursion can request a private or compatible small-group Ephesus plan. The route is based on the live port window supplied for the sailing. Independent local planning, not affiliated with Marella Cruises. Ege Port says schedules may change for weather or operational reasons; use the live times for your sailing: [official Kusadasi Cruise Port schedule](https://kusadasicruiseport.com/schedule/). ## Plan for this ship, not an anonymous port day A private route is especially useful for families, couples or mixed-age groups who want control over pace and stop selection. It also makes the quoted service scope easier to compare with a ship excursion. ## Choose a route that protects Ephesus The main Ephesus route gives the clearest first visit. Terrace Houses add archaeological detail; Virgin Mary adds a second location. A short Kusadasi town stop can be considered only after the main visit and return are protected. - [Focused Ephesus half-day tour](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/ephesus-essentials) - [Ephesus and Terrace Houses](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/ephesus-terrace-houses) - [Ephesus and House of the Virgin Mary](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/ephesus-virgin-mary) - [Build a private Ephesus route](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/private-tours/build-your-ephesus-tour) ## Work backwards from all aboard Send both scheduled arrival and all aboard. Weather, itinerary or operational changes can alter the call, so the port and Marella information should be rechecked close to travel. ## Use a written Kusadasi port meeting point The confirmation names the terminal exit, meeting time and contact method. This prevents confusion between independent pickups, cruise-line coaches and general taxi areas. ## What fits a Marella Voyager call in Kusadasi Planning allows 60 minutes to clear the terminal and 90 minutes back at the ship before all aboard. Measure your own call from the arrival and all-aboard times printed in the daily programme — with a 6-hour day ashore there is already a workable Kusadasi route. - [Private Kusadasi City & Pigeon Island Tour](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/private-kusadasi-city-pigeon-island) (Private): 3–3.5 hours; port day needed: 6 hours or more; price on request.

Send the request with your real times and the local team either shortens the route, moves you to a private vehicle that saves loading time, or tells you it will not work before anything is confirmed. ## Marella Voyager planning questions ### Can Marella Voyager passengers book an independent Ephesus tour? Yes. Submit the sailing schedule so the independent route and return timing can be checked before confirmation. ### Private or small group from Kusadasi? Private service controls pace and vehicle for your party. A small group can reduce per-person cost but follows a shared schedule. ### Can we request a slower walking pace? Yes. Add mobility, heat, step or pacing concerns to the request so the route can be adjusted. ## Send the Marella Voyager times once Add port date, arrival, all aboard, party size and pickup preference; the local team checks a workable route before confirmation.
