Guide to Cruise Ports and Terminals
The cruise terminal in the Principality of Monaco is located next to Monaco's picturesque yacht harbor.
The modern terminal has an adjacent tourist information centre. It is within walking distance of the Old Town and many local attractions.
Some cruise ships anchor in the bay and their passengers are transferred via tender boats to shore.
Visitors to the principality can either climb a rather steep hill from the yacht harbor to the Cousteau Museum or catch a local bus up the hill.
The Monte Carlo district of Monaco (where the famous casino is located) is much further away from the cruise terminal but can nonetheless be on foot.
