Returning to the ship
Majuro is a unique and remote atoll in the Pacific, whose cruise port, the Delap Pier, is usually called at directly by cruise ships. Due to the long journey from the DACH region, a relaxed early arrival with an overnight stay is recommended.
Airplane
Travel to Majuro for guests from the DACH region is primarily by plane via Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ). This airport is the only one on Majuro and serves as the most important international access point. Main connections exist via United Airlines' so-called "Island Hopper" route, which serves Honolulu and Guam. Due to the significant time difference and long flight duration, arrival at least one day before embarkation is advisable to prevent jet lag and ensure a punctual arrival.
Transfer & Shuttle
From Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ) to the port or to the hotels in the main settlement of Delap-Uliga-Djarrit (DUD), it is only about 11 to 13 kilometers. Taxis are available at the airport and are the most common method of transport for travelers. The trip usually takes only 10 to 20 minutes. It is recommended to coordinate transfers in advance with the hotel or the cruise operator to ensure a smooth onward journey. Shared taxis are also a cost-effective option along the atoll's only main road.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
An overnight stay before the cruise on Majuro is strongly recommended to get used to the local time and to cushion any flight delays. In the main town of Delap-Uliga-Djarrit (DUD), you will find various accommodation options. Better-known options include the Hotel Robert Reimers and the Marshall Islands Resort, both of which offer comfortable stays. Many hotels are centrally located and can often assist with the organization of local transfers and excursions.
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 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 at least one hour before departure. Always observe the current announcements as well as the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
