About your Princess Cruises cruise on Coral Princess
Make the most of your upcoming Princess Cruises sailing aboard the Coral Princess with high-quality, top-rated tours and experiences matched to your exact itinerary.
After departing Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 16 May 2026, Coral Princess 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 Princess Cruises 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 Princess Cruises cruise aboard the Coral Princess 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 Picton
The charming maritime town of Picton, with a population of around 4,000, sits at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound on New Zealand’s South Island. It serves as a gateway for ferries arriving from the North Island and welcomes a growing number of international cruise ships. Picton is also a vital hub for water taxis transporting visitors and supplies to the remote communities scattered throughout the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. The town itself offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with local craft markets in summer, fascinating historical sites, and scenic walking trails leading to spectacular viewpoints over the sounds. The main waterfront, London Quay, offers stunning views along Queen Charlotte Sound, while High Street, leading down from the hills, forms the heart of Picton with its selection of shops, cafés, and galleries. Whether you’re exploring on foot, heading out on the water, or simply soaking in the views, Picton makes for an unforgettable day ashore.
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.

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.
