Dörenthe, a district of Ibbenbüren in the Westphalian Tecklenburger Land, is home to a port on the Dortmund-Ems Canal. This port primarily serves the handling of goods and logistics for building materials and raw wood and is not designed for passenger cruises. Therefore, there are no cruise terminals or corresponding tourist infrastructure for embarkation in Dörenthe. Information on arrival refers to the accessibility of the town itself.

The Dörenthe region is well connected to the motorway network and can be reached via the A1 (Ladbergen exit) and the A30 (Ibbenbüren exit).

The distance from FMO to Dörenthe is approximately 30 to 40 kilometers and can be reached by car or taxi in about 30 minutes.

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. Please plan sufficient time for your journey to the port and bear in mind that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually about one hour before the scheduled departure.
The following also 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 and notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
