George Town on the Cayman Islands is a significant port of call for Caribbean cruises and welcomes guests directly in the heart of the capital at the central docking points for tender boats. The port is characterized by its proximity to the international airport and its excellent connection to the island's tourist infrastructure.
Airplane
Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) is located only three kilometers east of the port of George Town and is the central gateway for international guests. Travelers from the DACH region can reach the island comfortably with a connection at London Heathrow (LHR) or via US hubs such as Miami (MIA) and Atlanta (ATL), with the onward journey to the terminal taking only about 10 minutes after landing.
Transfer & Taxi
From the airport as well as from surrounding accommodations, you can reach the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal or the neighboring North and South terminals quickly and directly with licensed taxis. Fares are officially set on the islands, ensuring a reliable calculation; additionally, spacious shuttle vans are available at central transport hubs at all times for larger travel groups or plenty of luggage.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
Due to the long journey from Europe across several time zones, arriving at least one day before the scheduled embarkation is highly recommended. Along the famous Seven Mile Beach, located just a few kilometers north of the port, you will find numerous first-class resorts and hotels that allow for a relaxed start to your vacation and frequently offer hotel-owned shuttle services to the docking points.
