Airplane
Arrival from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland usually takes place via Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (UPG) in Makassar, which serves as the nearest and best-connected airport. This is located approximately 118 to 155 kilometers south of Pare Pare and is the central arrival point for international flights in South Sulawesi.
Transfer & Shuttle
From Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (UPG) in Makassar, you can reach Pare Pare directly in around 2 to 4 hours via well-developed trunk roads, such as Jl. Poros Parepare-Makassar or Jl. Tol Insinyur Sutami. Private transfer services are a convenient option here, leading directly from the airport to the cruise terminal or your hotel, allowing for a relaxed journey. Alternatively, taxis are available.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
Due to the long journey from Europe and the transfer time from Makassar Airport to the port of Pare Pare, an overnight stay in a pre-cruise hotel in Pare Pare on the day before embarkation is highly recommended. This ensures a relaxed start to your cruise and allows you to arrive at the terminal well-rested. Various hotels for every requirement are available in Pare Pare.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will generally receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for the journey to the port accordingly and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The following also applies during the trip: For shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than one hour before departure. Always observe the current announcements and the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
