About your Cunard cruise on Queen Mary 2

Make the most of your upcoming Cunard sailing aboard the Queen Mary 2 with high-quality, top-rated tours and experiences matched to your exact itinerary.

After departing Los Angeles, California on 08 May 2026, Queen Mary 2 will take you and your travel party to remarkable destinations - and FindMyExcursions is here to help you experience more in each port.

We've partnered with the world’s largest tour marketplaces, including Viator, to offer a curated selection of excursions that go beyond what’s available in your Cunard planner. Our intelligent matching system analyses your port times and schedule to recommend only the best-rated, time-compatible experiences — so you can relax, explore, and get back to the ship with confidence.

From scenic adventures and cultural immersions to foodie tours and historical walks, each excursion is selected because it's highly-rated by previous users, and tailored to fit the time you actually have ashore. With convenient port pick-up and drop-off included in most experiences — and a “Worry-Free Shore Excursion” policy available on selected tours — you’ll enjoy a seamless, stress-free outing every time you step off the ship.

Best of all, our selection often includes more variety — and better value — than the limited options offered directly by your cruise line.

Let FindMyExcursions turn your Cunard cruise aboard the Queen Mary 2 into a truly unforgettable journey. Start browsing now and discover the excursions that will take your trip to the next level — port by port.

About Papeete, Tahiti

Papeete, the vibrant capital of French Polynesia, is the heart of Tahiti and a lively cruise port in the South Pacific. Known for its colorful markets, waterfront promenade, and tropical charm, the city is the perfect starting point for exploring island life. Cruise passengers can wander through Marché de Papeete, a bustling market filled with fresh fruit, Tahitian crafts, and fragrant flowers. Along the waterfront, the Paofai Gardens offer a peaceful stroll, while the Notre Dame Cathedral reflects the city’s French influence. By evening, local food trucks, known as roulottes, transform the main square into an open-air dining scene, serving everything from fresh seafood to crêpes. Beyond the city, excursions showcase Tahiti’s natural beauty—lush waterfalls, black-sand beaches, and dramatic volcanic peaks. Visitors can also tour pearl farms or venture inland for panoramic island views. With its mix of French flair, Polynesian culture, and tropical landscapes, Papeete is both a gateway to the islands and a memorable cruise destination in its own right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?

Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

Why choose FindMyExcursions?

FindMyExcursions is designed by cruise travellers for cruise travellers. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • We match your itinerary to top-rated excursions from Viator, one of the most trusted global tour platforms.
  • We filter by time-in-port, so you only see tours that fit your schedule.
  • Many tours offer port pick-up and drop-off, removing the guesswork.
  • We highlight tours with excellent reviews, local expertise, and clear cancellation policies.
  • You book direct with Viator, benefiting from their trusted payment platform and customer service.

In short, we make discovering and booking cruise-compatible tours easier, safer, and more tailored to your plans.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?

When you book excursions independently (i.e. outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.

That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.

Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?

If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
