Sea cruises from Barcelona, Cruise ship: Nautica

Technically yes, in practice we advise against it. A delayed morning flight costs you the cruise rather than one item on an itinerary. We recommend arriving the day before and staying the night.

Twenty to thirty minutes by taxi off peak, and closer to forty in the morning rush. The distance is about fifteen kilometres.

The name of the terminal is printed on the boarding documents for your sailing and only that is binding. The port register lists 7 terminals: A, B, C, D Palacruceros and E Helix on the Adossat quay, the separate Terminal MSC on the same quay, and the World Trade Center Barcelona on the Barcelona quay. Helix is not a separate place beside the lettered ones. It is terminal E.

No. The port estate is not crossed on foot, and the last stretch is covered by port shuttle or taxi even if public transport has already brought you close.

Boarding usually opens in the early afternoon and check-in closes two to three hours before departure, so you want to be at the port well ahead of that. In July and August we add a separate hour for the queue. Here the five-hour figure means a cruise line transfer, not being at the port as it does in Civitavecchia.

One night is enough to board without running for it, and a second turns the journey out into part of the holiday. The place is walkable, so even a short margin of time goes on the city rather than on transport.

It happens, but in our bookings it is a handful of cases a season. The drive takes two days with a night on the way, and parking for the length of the cruise is booked together with the cabin.

The currency of the contract is either the euro or the US dollar, and the booking itself decides which. Payment goes by transfer, in euros or in zloty, to the details we set out in the document. With a payment link the settlement runs in zloty only. Prices on the site are shown in zloty at the day’s rate.

The counterparty on your contract is a Polish tour operator, not an intermediary registered abroad. Its entry in the Central Register of Tour Operators and Entrepreneurs Facilitating the Purchase of Linked Travel Arrangements (CEOTiPUNPUT) and its UNIQA guarantee are quoted in full in the section on who sells and who answers.
