Shore Excursions

Our countless onboard activities are just the beginning of a Princess cruise vacation. In fact, some of the most exciting moments of your vacation await onshore at each destination we take you to. At each destination, you can leave the ship and join a guided excursion on land that immerses you in the native culture of each of our exciting ports. Go wildlife viewing, hike a glacier or cycle through the countryside. If bargain hunting is your sport, there's no shortage of markets offering a variety of unique items.

Cruisetours

Enjoy the best of both worlds with a Princess Cruisetour, which adds a multi-city land adventure to the beginning or end of your cruise. Stay a week in one of our five resort-class lodges in the majestic Alaskan wilderness, savor a slice of European culture in an exquisite London hotel or explore the Great Wall of China. Whichever you choose, you'll be treating yourself to an unforgettable vacation on both land and sea. Learn more about our cruisetours.
