Start with the time you actually have

Count from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.

Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Select a terminal or place to see its location and open directions.

Getting around

Local connections

Ask at the terminal information desk for current public exits and town access. Taxis and organised-tour loading are available in the cruise area. Check the complete route before walking and arrange the return if a longer cross-town connection is needed.

Cádiz (Seville): cruise arrival information

Check both ferry legs before crossing the bay

The Cádiz Bay Transport Consortium lists B-042 between Cádiz and El Puerto de Santa María and B-065 between Cádiz and Rota. Check its service-status page and call-date timetable before an independent bay crossing, including the return and boarding requirements. The consortium says alternatives may be arranged during suspensions when possible; confirm any replacement rather than relying on it. The public ferry terminal and your cruise entrance are separate connections to include in your return plan.

Cádiz Bay Transport Consortium: maritime service status

Bay transport uses different fare tables

The Bay of Cadiz transport consortium separates interurban fares by zone crossings, urban card fares and maritime-service fares. Its interurban table has an October 6, 2026 effective date; the maritime table has a different date. Check the chosen mode, route and ticket rather than applying one city fare to a bay outing. Confirm current sailings separately before choosing a public ferry. Checked Oct 6, 2026.

What costs extra?

Published information checked Oct 6, 2026. Confirm current prices before paying.

Transport

Option 2

Take a planned tour

Prefer an organized outing in Cádiz (Seville)? Browse tours with Viator, then check the exact meeting point, departure, inclusions and cancellation terms before booking.

Tour duration is only part of your time ashore. Allow for getting to the meeting point, early check-in, any transfers outside the tour and your return reserve. Confirm the ship’s clock, all-aboard time and any earlier last tender. These results have not been checked against your sailing.

Find tours for your port visit

Search up to one year ahead. Schedules are indicative; confirm available departure times and your group’s final price on Viator.

Before you go ashore

How long is the ship in port, and when is all-aboard?

Port hours vary by ship and date in Cádiz (Seville). Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.

Can I explore independently?

Our suggestion: choose one of the three local activities, verify opening and access, and settle both connections before leaving. Use the ship’s actual all-aboard and any last-tender deadline.
