Agadir

Port Agadir stands apart with its dramatic setting: the Atlas Mountains rise behind a sun-kissed crescent of Atlantic shoreline, and the modern cruise gateway sits just steps from a wide, welcoming promenade. The port’s facilities are designed for ease and comfort—direct quay berthing, expansive open spaces, shaded lounges, and a streamlined embarkation process that gets guests from ship to shore and back in a heartbeat. Signature experiences begin the moment you step ashore: a panoramic climb to the Oufella Kasbah for sweeping Atlantic views, wandering the lively Souk El Had to taste spices, Berber lamps, and mint tea, a camel ride along golden dunes, and a seafood feast at the marina with ocean breeze and musicians in the background. For deeper exploration, you can venture to the Atlas foothills, the palm-fringed towns of Taghazout and Agadir’s own golden beaches, or take a day trip to Essaouira’s windswept charm. The port’s location creates ideal itineraries—short transfers, ample time for leisure ashore, and a pace that suits both explorers and sun-seekers. Fleet-wise, Agadir handles mid- to large-sized ships with efficiency, while onboard services on the ships you encounter blend Moroccan hospitality with international luxury—candlelit dinners of tagine and grilled seafood, spa rituals inspired by hammam tradition, vibrant entertainment, and kid-friendly programs to keep every guest engaged. All of this makes Agadir not just a port call, but a gateway to Morocco’s coast that feels distinct from other cruise experiences.
