Malaga Cruise Port
Malaga is a sought-after cruise destination, welcoming visitors from around the world with its distinctive charm and appeal. Its convenient location makes it an ideal stop for travelers seeking unique attractions and memorable experiences.
Established in 2008 as part of Creuers del Port de Barcelona, Malaga Cruise Port manages all three cruise terminals of the Port of Malaga. Malaga Cruise Port is located in a strategic area in Southern Europe, connecting with routes to the Atlantic and the Mediterranean to make it a gateway to Andalusia. The port is just 15 minutes away from Malaga International Airport, which offers flights to and from Europe and all around the world. Malaga’s port facilities, hotels and airport all make it a truly world-class international homeport.
Malaga Cruise Port provides a comprehensive range of services at the three cruise terminals: Terminal A, Terminal B and the Terminal El Palmeral and operates cruise piers over a total of 1,350 m, allowing Malaga to receive cruise ships of any sizes from all over the world. Larger cruise liners dock in the eastern area and smaller cruise ships dock at the inner basin next to the Palm Grove waterfront, which is within five minute’s walking distance to the cathedral. Malaga Cruise Port has invested heavily in port facilities to provide full turnaround and transit services. It also has a small shopping center offering duty free and souvenir shopping. A shuttle service to the city center is also in operation.
