Return to ship guarantee

Return to ship guarantee: itineraries are planned around your Valencia cruise call so you are back at the terminal with time before all-aboard. If an operational delay on our side causes you to miss the ship, we work with the local provider under the published return-to-ship assurance for that booking.

Getting there from the cruise port

Cruise ships berth at the Port of Valencia (Puerto de Valencia) passenger terminal area. The historic centre is typically 15–25 minutes away by shuttle, taxi or metro depending on berth and routing — many guests transfer toward Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the Old Town rather than walking the full port corridor. Turia Gardens forms a green link between the centre and the City of Arts and Sciences. For Sagunto, canyon hikes or interior day trips, confirm meeting instructions and plan from your ship's all-aboard time, not merely the published departure. Aim to be back at the terminal 60–90 minutes early; longer countryside days need the larger end of that buffer.

Tips for cruise passengers

  • Dress comfortably but consider smart-casual for terrace venues
