What Princess Cruises charges for a day like this in Busan
A ship’s excursion comes with one promise nothing else can make: the ship waits for its own bus. An independent booking does not, which is why every day on this site is cut to the call with an hour kept before all-aboard. What you get for the difference is usually a smaller group, a start at the pier rather than a coach queue, and free cancellation until the day before.
Princess Cruises prices as shown on its public Busan excursion page on 25 October 2026, per person, before any sailing-specific change. Tour prices on this page are the operator’s current from price.
Before you book
Is the Private Busan Tour - Explore Landmarks with a Licensed Guide worth it from the Busan cruise port?

Best for: Couples or a small family group who want a private car, on the 4-hour options for a short call or the full day for a long one.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?

Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
What should I know before booking?
The listing does not name the cruise terminal or promise a return to the ship, so write the terminal and your all-aboard time into the booking. Meals and the Blue Line Sky Capsule or Beach Train are extra. Check the tour length against your ship's all-aboard time.
Does this tour pick up at the cruise pier?
Pickup at the cruise terminal is on request: ask for it when you book and sail only once the operator has confirmed it.
Will I be back on board before all-aboard?
The operator makes no written on-time promise, so the margin is yours to keep. This site only shows the tour as fitting a call of about 10 hours or more, which already includes half an hour to get ashore and the hour before all-aboard. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before means a reservation costs nothing to hold if your ship’s hours change.
