Shore excursions to explore Keelung and Taipei
With Princess, your time ashore becomes a choose-your-own-adventure filled with history, hot springs and hidden-gem villages. Here are a few excursions that might catch your eye — or your camera lens.
Experience the Keelung port on your next cruise
Keelung cruises are typically included within larger Asian cruise itineraries: including Japan, Korea, or Southeast Asia. This quaint location somehow feels both tucked away and yet intrinsically connected to Taiwan’s cultural core. Taipei is only an hour inland and easy to get to, but Keelung itself offers a quiet moment before the buzz, with coastal scenery, seafood markets and temple-dotted hillsides. Whether you’re zipping into the city or lingering by the waterfront, this port delivers on charm and convenience.
Step ashore at Keelung, where Taiwan’s stories begin
The port of Keelung is the first chapter of your Taiwan adventure. Taipei continues the story. Here, dynastic legacies live alongside digital dreams and warm, therapeutic springs weave through a land alive with tradition. You’ll find shrines that whisper old wisdom, side streets humming with the scent of everything savory and museum halls that could take days to conquer. Cruises to Keelung with Princess give you time to take it all in, with expert-planned excursions, seamless travel and plenty of comfort along the way.
