Port information & tips for Limassol
Limassol is the vibrant metropolis on the southern coast of Cyprus, harmoniously blending ancient history with a modern lifestyle. The sun-drenched port city delights visitors with its mix of Mediterranean charm and a glittering waterfront promenade. In the immediate vicinity, the historic Limassol Castle, the luxurious Limassol Marina, and the extensive Molos Park invite you to explore. Cruise ships dock at the modern DP World Limassol Terminal in the new port, from where the old town, about three kilometres away, can be easily reached thanks to regular shuttle buses or short taxi rides, providing guests with direct access to the lively city centre.
The Port of Limassol is the maritime gateway to Cyprus and welcomes cruise passengers in an ultra-modern terminal building that impresses with its architecture and efficiency. Its central location on the southern coast and direct connection to the highway network allow travelers from the DACH region comfortable accessibility to the ships.
Airplane
The most convenient way to arrive from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is via Larnaca International Airport (LCA), located about 70 kilometers to the east and served directly by hubs such as Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Zurich. Alternatively, Paphos International Airport (PFO) is an option at a distance of about 60 kilometers, giving guests the flexibility to choose from numerous flight connections and reach the port in just about 50 to 60 minutes after landing.
Transfer & Shuttle
Thanks to the well-developed A1 and A6 motorways, the transfer between the airports and the terminal is straightforward and time-efficient. In addition to the cruise lines' shuttle services, the Limassol Airport Express offers regular bus connections to the city, and taxis are available at the arrival terminals at any time for a direct trip to the New Passenger Terminal.
Auto
For travelers arriving by rental car or private vehicle, the port is well-signposted and easily accessible via the main exit points of the A1 motorway (from the direction of Larnaca) and A6 (from the direction of Paphos). Directly at the new cruise terminal, around 330 parking spaces are available for short-term and long-term parkers; additionally, many hotels in the nearby Limassol Marina offer special packages for a relaxed arrival the day before, including parking options.
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 your arrival at the port accordingly and take into account 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 and notices on board, as docking and departure times can change at short notice.
