Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book independently from Princess Cruises?

Yes. Excursions check port windows and guarantee a safe return to the ship.

How much return buffer should I leave for Discovery Princess?

We recommend at least 45 minutes return buffer before ship all-aboard.

What if my ship uses a shuttle or tender?

Tenders or shuttles (like NCL Ward Cove) require an extra 30–60 min buffer. Factor this in early.

Are all ports live bookable here yet?

Juneau glacier and flightseeing tours are live active. Other ports are currently in planning mode.
