Best Venues & Tours. Happy Fish Travel has selected the best tours and venues at each port in order to guarantee a great experience during the tour with us. That’s why we only offer few options at each port. Due the high demand of tour’s tickets on board, The cruise lines have to include many tour options even when they are not so good. Shore Excursions is one of the most important businesses for a cruise line and for this reason they need to have multiple options. Some of the venues and services are poor in order to reduce the tour’s rate.
