Add a one-off departure

Put a single date, or a handful of dates, on sale for an experience without creating a recurring schedule.

Add departures by hand when a trip runs on a few specific dates, or when you need an extra date alongside a recurring schedule.

Add the dates

  1. Go to Calendar & Scheduling → Manage schedule and select the experience.

  2. Select Add departures.

    The Add departures button on an experience's scheduling page
  3. Keep Single date and pick the Date.

    The Add departures window for a single date

    To add several dates at once, choose Multiple dates and select Add date for each one. They all share the same start time and capacity.

    The Add departures window with Multiple dates selected
  4. Check the Start time and Capacity. They are filled in with the experience's default start time and maximum group size.

  5. Select Submit.

There is no end field. Samba works out the end from the experience's duration. A trip shorter than a day ends at start time plus duration. A longer trip ends on its last day at the experience's default end time, so a 7-day trip leaving Sunday at 09:00 ends the following Sunday at that end time.

What happens next


Can I add a departure from the calendar?

No. The calendar is for viewing. Departures are always added from Manage schedule.

How do I add a private date for one customer?

You don't schedule it here. Samba creates a private departure when you accept a booking request, or when you create a booking on a new date.
