Melilla

Port Melilla stands out as a Mediterranean gateway where European and North African influences converge in a single voyage. As an official port for Spain, it offers a compact, walkable waterfront that blends efficient terminals with a city rich in culture just steps from the quay. Signature experiences arise from a city that wears its layered history proudly: fortifications and a remarkable Modernisme legacy, including one of the most important concentrations of Modernist works in Spain outside Barcelona. Shore excursions invite guests to wander the historic casco, explore lively markets that mingle Moroccan flavors with Spanish warmth, and savor coastal views along the Rif coast. The port is also a convenient base for day trips into the Rif countryside and nearby beaches, with in‑port facilities designed to handle mid to large ships through either quay or tender operations. Fleet features at Port Melilla include deep-water berths, efficient turning basins, and a modern passenger terminal that streamlines embarkation and disembarkation. Onboard services for guests during port calls range from multilingual excursion desks and Wi Fi access to flexible transfer options and onshore meet-and-greet experiences that help travelers maximize time on shore while preserving the ease and security of their cruise.
