Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt’s official Mediterranean port, stands apart from other cruise ports by weaving millennia of history into a modern, passenger-friendly gateway. Its signature experiences unfold the moment ships dock: stroll the Corniche at sunset, dive or snorkel along nearby wrecks, and visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to feel the echo of the ancient Great Library, then wander to the Citadel of Qaitbay built on the site of the legendary Lighthouse. Port calls here pair a close-in, purpose-built terminal with rapid transfers into a treasure trove of sights—the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, Montazah Palace gardens—and easy day trips to Rosetta and El Alamein, blending city culture with coastal serenity. Fleet features at the port include multi-berth capacity for large ships, streamlined check-in, climate-controlled lounges, and a forward-looking terminal designed for seamless embarkation and disembarkation. Onboard services for travelers emphasize Egypt-inspired cuisine, multilingual guest assistance, and shore-excursion teams that tailor experiences for families, history enthusiasts, divers, and shoppers, ensuring every visit feels exclusive yet welcoming. In short, Alexandria delivers a distinctive mix of ancient wonder and modern hospitality that elevates it above other Western Mediterranean ports and invites guests to discover a living city where the past and present meet with ease.
