Port layout: Cruise terminals spread along Palma’s harbour [1]
Can I walk?: It depends on your terminal and the pedestrian approach [1]
Best first move: Check the terminal and accessible exit in use. Choose a waterfront walk or a transfer after you know where it starts.

Port essentials

The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands identifies several passenger terminal areas and describes connections between the port and central Palma. [1]

Best first move

Check the terminal and accessible exit in use. Choose a waterfront walk or a transfer after you know where it starts.

On foot

Can I walk?

It depends on your terminal and the pedestrian approach. Consider transport if your berth is farther along the harbour or your visit is short. Varies by sailing [1]

Ashore

Transport options

Waterfront walk: If the confirmed pedestrian route suits you, use the harbour as your orientation and allow for the walk from the port exit itself. Check before you go [1]
Bus Nàutic: The port authority says its Bus Nàutic began connecting port terminals and central Palma on 1 November 2026. Check the current stop and service for your terminal before relying on it. Check before you go [1]
Land transfer: Ask which ship shuttle or taxi option serves your terminal, where you will be dropped and where to board for the return. Check before you go [1]

Arrival

Terminals and docking

Passenger terminal areas: Save the full terminal or quay name. Use your ship’s directions to the passenger exit in use. Varies by sailing [1]
City-side connection: Confirm the actual stop for your chosen service. A central waterfront landmark and a return stop may be in different places. Varies by sailing [1]

Time ashore

Enjoy your time ashore

Choose one anchor for your visit, then add a second stop if your return plan allows.

La Seu cathedral

The Gothic cathedral rises above the seafront and dominates the approach to the old town. [2][3]

On a port day Make the exterior and nearby terraces your first stop, and check admission separately for an interior visit.
Royal Palace of La Almudaina

The palace faces the cathedral at the edge of the old town. [2][3]

On a port day Pair the two exteriors for a compact visit, or choose one interior if you have enough time.

Back on board

Getting back to the ship

Leave time to cross the city waterfront and reach your actual quay. If using a water or land shuttle, confirm its current return stop and operating window. Work back from your ship’s all-aboard time. Departure is the scheduled time the ship leaves.

All aboard is your deadline to return. Departure is when the ship is scheduled to leave.
