Gibraltar — cruise port guide
Use this Gibraltar cruise port guide to put the destination in context before choosing a luxury voyage. The original destination notes below can help you compare time ashore with the pace of a longer itinerary.
Plan your time ashore
For a visit to Gibraltar, check the current arrival and departure times, the actual berth or tender arrangements, and the distance between the port and the places you hope to see. Leave a comfortable margin for returning to the ship.
Solo travelers may prefer an organized excursion, independent exploring or a quieter day on board. Ask about excursion availability, walking distances, accessibility needs and local transport before making plans. Entry requirements and local conditions need current confirmation.

Gibraltar is the famous promontory located at the
western entrance of the Mediterranean, with Spain to the north and, across
the Straits, Morocco to the south. The Straits, a channel 36 miles long that
connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean, are 27 miles wide at the west
end, 8 miles at their narrowest. Africa is clearly visible on a fine day.
There is an incredible landing strip which bisects the two-mile long, narrow
isthmus linking the colony geographically to mainland Spain. The British have controlled Gibraltar for over two centuries. A favorite
pastime is strolling along Main Street to browse and shop in the many
duty-free shops or stop in one of the pubs for a genuine ale, fish and
chips, or a steak and kidney pie. Many visitors come to see Gibraltar's
curiosity, the Barbary Apes. According to Quest, the British will remain as
long as the apes survive.
