Transfer & Pre-Cruise Hotel
For smooth organization, you can book combined transfer services that coordinate bus transport from Tenerife South Airport, including the ferry passage to the cruise terminal in San Sebastián. Due to the dependence on ferry times, an arrival the day before with an overnight stay in San Sebastián is also recommended to enjoy the city's historical charm at leisure and walk directly to embarkation the next day.
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 take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the shipping company and destination - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the voyage: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least 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.
