Port information & tips for Fishguard
Fishguard is a picturesque jewel on the Pembrokeshire coast and is considered one of the most charming gateways to the green landscapes of Wales. The port city impresses with its idyllic location in a deep blue bay and welcomes visitors with a mixture of historical flair, dramatic cliffs, and warm Welsh hospitality. Cultural highlights include the famous Last Invasion Tapestry in the Town Hall and the picturesque harbor of Lower Town, while the Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers spectacular views of the untouched nature. Cruise ships dock at Ocean Quay in Fishguard Harbour, from where the town center is easily accessible thanks to regular shuttle buses or a charming walk of around two kilometers.
The port of Fishguard in Goodwick, Pembrokeshire, is a charming ferry and cruise port in southwest Wales and serves as a gateway to the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Although larger cruise ships often lie at anchor, an efficient tender service ensures a comfortable landing directly at the terminal.
Car
Fishguard is easily accessible thanks to the connection via the M4 motorway and the A40 trunk road from the east, as well as the A497 from the north. Simply follow the signs for "Ferry Port," which will lead you directly to the harbor in Goodwick. On-site, both short-term parking spaces directly opposite the terminal building and a long-term parking lot with around 60 spaces, just 150 meters away, are available. Payment is conveniently possible via machines, by phone, or online via Horizon Parking.
Train
A particularly comfortable arrival is made possible by Fishguard Harbour station, which is located directly at the ferry terminal. Transport for Wales offers regular connections that are coordinated with the ferry times. From larger cities such as Cardiff Central or Swansea, there are direct train connections that will bring you to your destination relaxed. The terminal is within a few minutes' walk from the station.
Airplane
For international guests from the DACH region, Cardiff (CWL) and Bristol (BRS) airports are the most relevant options. Cardiff Airport (CWL) is about 169-176 kilometers away, with a travel time of approximately 2 hours and 15 to 20 minutes by car or transfer. Bristol Airport (BRS) is located around 162-247 kilometers away, and the journey takes about 3 hours. Local taxi and private transfer services are available at both airports, and there are also public bus and train connections. Arriving the day before can be recommended for longer air travel to start your cruise experience in a relaxed manner.
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 area - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the trip: 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 mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
