Port information & tips for Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island and a shining jewel in the Gulf of Thailand, welcoming cruise guests with a perfect blend of exotic nature and cultural diversity. The island impresses with its palm-fringed coasts, crystal-clear water, and a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. Highlights in the immediate vicinity include the mystical Dinh Cau Temple right by the sea as well as the pulsating Duong Dong Night Market, which offers an experience for all the senses thanks to its colorful stalls and fresh delicacies. Cruise ships mostly use the modern Phu Quoc International Passenger Port in Duong Dong, from where travelers can easily reach the bustling center and the picturesque surroundings thanks to the central location.
Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island, offers cruise passengers a relaxed arrival to their tropical paradise. The modern international cruise terminal, located near the island's capital Duong Dong, welcomes larger ships and allows for a convenient start to your island adventure. Although larger cruise ships can now dock directly at the port, it can happen that smaller ships anchor off Duong Dong and guests are brought ashore by tender boats.
Airplane
Your journey to Phu Quoc is convenient via the modern Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC), the island's only airport. Since there are no direct flights from the DACH region, you can reach Phu Quoc with stopovers, for example via major hubs such as Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Hanoi (HAN), or other Asian metropolises like Singapore. The airport is conveniently located about 9 to 10 kilometers south of the main town, Duong Dong.
Transfer & Shuttle
From Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC), you can reach the cruise terminal as well as your hotel in Duong Dong easily and quickly. Taxis are available directly in front of the terminal and will take you to your destination in about 15 to 30 minutes, with fares to Duong Dong costing approximately 180,000 to 220,000 VND (plus an airport fee of 25,000 VND). Alternatively, you can book a comfortable private transfer in advance or use the widely used ride-hailing app Grab. Additionally, some hotels on Phu Quoc offer their own airport transfers.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
Due to the long journey from the DACH region, an overnight stay in a pre-cruise hotel on Phu Quoc is highly recommended to start your cruise relaxed. Many resorts and hotels can be found within a pleasant driving distance of the airport, particularly along Long Beach or in Duong Dong. A stay the day before also offers a wonderful opportunity to gather first impressions of the island and acclimate to the tropical climate.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will usually 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 keep in mind that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is generally scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the voyage: for shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements as well as the notices on board, as docking and departure times can change at short notice.
