Transfers and day trips from Málaga cruise port

Málaga is one of the busiest cruise ports in Spain, and its terminals sit at the foot of the city a quarter of an hour from the airport. Passengers use us in two ways: for a transfer between the ship and a hotel, the airport or the station at the start or end of a cruise, and for a private day ashore, with the driver waiting while you see Granada, Nerja, Ronda, Córdoba or Seville and bringing you back before the ship sails.

The driver meets you outside the cruise terminal where your ship docks, in the pickup area, with a sign with your name. Give us the ship's name and the docking time and we watch the arrival as we would a flight.

Meeting point: outside the cruise terminal where your ship docks, in the pickup area. The driver holds a sign with your name.

A day ashore, door to door

Most ships give seven to ten hours in Málaga. Granada and the Alhambra are ninety minutes away, Nerja and Frigiliana an hour, Ronda an hour and a half, Córdoba an hour and three quarters and Seville two and a quarter. Book the destination as a return trip and tell us the sailing time: the driver drops you where the car can go, waits or returns at the hour you set, and plans the way back with a margin. The return costs exactly double the one-way fare shown on each route page; if you want the driver to wait at several stops, ask for a quote.

Ship to hotel, ship to airport

If Málaga is where your cruise starts or ends, we take you from the terminal to a hotel in the city or anywhere on this site, or from the terminal to the airport or the station. For an early boarding the day after landing, many passengers stay in Nerja or Torre del Mar the night before and we bring them to the port in the morning. Prices are the same as from the airport, and luggage for a fortnight at sea fits in the estate or the minivan.

Timing around the ship

Ships rarely dock late, but disembarking can take a while, so we allow for it and the first fifteen minutes of waiting at the port are free. On the way back, we aim to have you at the terminal at least an hour before all-aboard time; for Seville or Córdoba that means leaving the city in the early afternoon. Tell us your all-aboard time in the notes, not just the sailing time, and the driver plans backwards from it.
