Arriving by Cruise Ship

Where You’ll Dock

Cruise ships arriving in Valencia typically dock at the Poniente Pier in the Port of Valencia, just a short distance from the city center.

A shuttle service connects passengers from the terminal to the Port Entrance.
From there, it’s easy to reach popular landmarks like the City of Arts and Sciences, Turia Gardens, and Plaza del Ayuntamiento.

Getting Into the City

By Shuttle: Most cruise lines provide shuttles to central drop-off points.
By Taxi: Taxis are available at the port and take 15–20 minutes to reach the city center.
By Bus: EMT bus lines also connect the port with key city areas.
By Bike/Scooter: For a more scenic arrival, rent a bike or electric scooter and cruise the city like a local.

Step Off the Ship, Step Into the Shot
Valencia is one of the Mediterranean’s fastest-growing cruise destinations—and it’s easy to see why. With a bustling port, warm climate, and endless charm, the city welcomes cruise passengers with open arms and picture-perfect streets.

Whether you're docking for a few hours or spending the night, there's plenty of time to explore the city—and even book a Snap Valencia session to capture the magic of your port stop.
