Things to do in Cornwall

Cornwall is what happens when England gets bored of being polite and starts channeling ancient bards, rogue smugglers and rock-obsessed painters. This isn’t some dainty countryside. It’s jagged coastlines, pagan legends and local cream that starts actual fights. Falmouth? That’s just the first step along the path.

  • Aerial view of Land’s End in Cornwall with dramatic cliffs, a sandy beach, turquoise waters and scattered houses along the coast.

    Gawk at Land’s End and decide if you’re brave enough to lean into 50mph winds for a selfie.

  • View of Mont Saint-Michel, a medieval abbey and village perched on a rocky island, surrounded by tidal flats under a bright blue sky.

    Strut across the causeway to St. Michael’s Mount like you're invading a tiny stone kingdom (because you are).

  • Colorful view of St Ives harbor with sandy beach, boats resting on the shore, clear turquoise water and crowds enjoying the summer sun.

    Pretend you’re a tortured poet in St. Ives, then break character for an ice cream on the beach.

  • Small boats floating in the clear blue waters of Fowey harbor, lined with stone and pastel cottages under a bright summer sky.

    Float through Fowey’s harbor and try not to daydream about quitting your job and becoming a full-time sea witch.

Shore excursions to explore in Cornwall

When you book a Cornwall cruise, the real work is choosing which scenic overload you’ll tackle first. Here are your stories, not stops:

01 / 07
  • /content/dam/princess/destination/europe/cruises-to-cornwall?appId=aemshell

    Land's End Peninsula Complex & St. Ives

    Rugged cliffs, that iconic Land’s End sign and an amusement park (yes, really) mark the start. Then it’s off to St. Ives — part artist haven, part surf town, part “I wasn’t planning to buy a handmade ceramic owl, but now I own two.” You’ll have time to explore, eat and rethink your life choices in the best way.

  • Stone pathway leading across tidal flats to St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, with a medieval castle perched on a green hill under a colorful sky.

    St. Michael's Mount

    Only accessible by foot when the tide’s low (or boat if that’s how you want to play it), this rocky island is basically Cornwall’s flex. Creep up to the castle like a medieval intruder, tour its echoing halls and wonder why your local library doesn’t look this cool. The views? Weaponized scenery.

    Learn more
  • People walking along a rocky path leading to a turquoise cove surrounded by green cliffs and jagged rocks on Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula.

    Lizard Peninsula Walk & Pub Lunch

    Your boots hit the path, the Atlantic roars back. This cliffside walk pulls no punches — wildflowers, lighthouses, salt-smeared skies. Then a proper pub lunch because you’ve earned it, you magnificent beast. Bonus: serpentine rock shops that sound fake but are extremely real.

    Learn more
  • Sandy beach at Marazion with grassy dunes in the foreground, people walking along the shore and St Michael’s Mount rising on a small tidal island in the distance.

    Countryside Drive & Cornish Cream Tea

    Let’s get scandalous: the Cornish put cream before jam, and they’ll fight you on it. This slow-roll countryside drive ends in Marazion, where tea is hot, scones are fluffy and St. Michael’s Mount looms just far enough away to keep the mystery alive.

    Learn more
  • Bright fishing boats floating in Polperro’s small harbor, with whitewashed cottages and green hills rising behind under a vivid blue sky.

    Polperro On Your Own

    Think smuggling but make it charming. Polperro is a fishing village where the streets are too narrow for cars and just wide enough for your curiosity. Poke into alleys, chase down the perfect pasty and don’t ask what kind of criminal dealings used to happen in those basements…

    Learn more
  • Aerial view of St Ives town in Cornwall with slate-roofed houses, a stone church tower, a busy harbor filled with boats and the deep blue ocean beyond.

    Land’s End Peninsula Complex & Scenic Drive

    Paragraph write-up Fewer shops, more sea spray. This version skips St. Ives and lets you get cozy with the edge of the world. The cliffs don’t care how philosophical you get, but you’ll definitely leave changed.

    Learn more
  • Formal gardens with colorful flower beds arranged in geometric patterns in front of Lanhydrock House, a stately stone manor with tall windows and an adjoining church tower.

    Lanhydrock House & Fowey

    Live out your Victorian drama fantasies at Lanhydrock (corset not included), then chill in Fowey — a town so quaint it practically writes its own cozy murder mystery series. The harbor views slap, and the Cornish pastries are worth the crumbs on your shirt.

Experience the Falmouth port on your next cruise

Hoping Falmouth will roll out a red carpet? It’s got something better: a fog bank, a blast of sea wind and a harbor full of boats with personality. Once ashore, it’s all steep hills, stone walls and pubs that laugh in the face of your schedule. This is where Transatlantic voyages, European adventures and round-Britain cruises come to get their salt.

Discover Cornwall on your next cruise

Cruise to Cornwall and brace for sensory overload. Fog horns. Tide pools. Locals who speak faster than your guidebook can translate (it’s English, but… you know). This corner of England is stitched together with smugglers’ tales and sea shanties, and you’ll feel it in your bones. It’s a folktail that doesn’t care how muddy your boots get.
