Where the cruise terminals are
The Port of Barcelona cruise terminals are spread across two areas. Most large ships berth at the Moll Adossat, below Montjuïc, where there are several terminals identified by letters. The others are on the Moll de Barcelona, around the World Trade Center building, near the Columbus monument at the bottom of La Rambla.
Before booking, check your cruise documents to see which terminal applies to you, and give it to us together with the ship's name and the expected docking or boarding time. With this information the driver knows exactly where to collect or drop you, which matters because the Moll Adossat terminals are set apart from the city.
How it works
- Book
Give us the ship's name, cruise terminal, date and expected time.
- Confirmation
We confirm the fixed price and the vehicle for your passengers and luggage.
- Pickup
Your driver waits at the terminal with a sign showing your name.
- Arrival
You are dropped at the airport terminal, your hotel or the boarding pier.
From the ship to El Prat airport
The transfer from the port to El Prat airport is about 16 km along the Ronda Litoral and takes approximately 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. On disembarkation day many passengers leave at the same time, and a pre-booked vehicle saves you the taxi queue and dragging suitcases to the bus stop.
Tell us your airport terminal (T1 or T2) and your flight time so we drop you at the right departures entrance. If the ship docks later than expected, contact us and we will adjust the pickup as far as possible. The driver loads your luggage and takes care of the whole journey.
Hotels, excursions and days before boarding
Many passengers spend a night or two in Barcelona before or after their cruise. We drive between the port and any hotel in the city, and you can also book a driver by the hour to see the Sagrada Família, Passeig de Gràcia, Park Güell or Montjuïc before returning to the ship.
For families or groups of up to 8 people, the Top-Van lets everyone travel together with all the luggage in one vehicle. If you want an excursion outside the city while the ship is in port, such as Montserrat, mention it when booking and we will plan the service with a well-calculated return time to the pier.
