Alicante

Port Alicante sets itself apart with a perfect balance of sea, culture and modern convenience, turning a ship call into an immersive gateway to the Costa Blanca. Easy access to the old town and its vibrant waterfront means guests can swap ship corridors for the Explanada de España with its waving palms and mosaic tiles in minutes, then ascend to the iconic Santa Bárbara Castle for sweeping harbor views and a sense of centuries of history. Signature experiences abound—from a Tabarca Island snorkeling day or a private tasting of local wines and seafood in the heart of the city, to guided strolls through narrow alleys that lead to lively tapas bars. Excursions extend to nearby gems such as Guadalest for dramatic mountain scenery and Benidorm skyline for a modern counterpoint to centuries of tradition. The port itself showcases a modern, efficient terminal capable of handling a wide range of ships, with smooth embarkation, easy transfer to the city and close proximity to top sights. Onboard services aboard ships calling at Alicante reflect a premium Mediterranean cruise experience, with diverse dining, spa and wellness, pools and sun decks, enrichment programs and family facilities, plus multilingual crew ready to tailor shore experiences to every traveler.
