Same ship
Staying on board
If both cruises are on the same ship, your cruise line usually organises the transit: passengers continuing on board follow a separate procedure and often keep their cabin. Some lines ask in-transit passengers to go ashore briefly for the border check. Follow the instructions they give you on the last day of the first cruise.

Different ship
Changing ship or terminal
If the second cruise is on another ship, you disembark with your luggage like any other passenger and check in again at the second terminal at your new slot. The terminals on the Adossat Wharf are close together, but not a walk with suitcases along the access road, and the World Trade Center terminal is across the old harbour.
Between the two you have several hours: a transfer to a hotel or restaurant in the city, then a second transfer to the new terminal at your check-in time, makes a long morning easier. Book both legs in the widget, from the port to the city and from the city to the port.
Planning
A calm turnaround day
- Check both terminals on your documents and on our cruise ship schedule.
- There are no lockers at the terminals: see cruise luggage in Barcelona.
- Busy mornings at the port are listed in busy turnaround days.
- If you want a night ashore between cruises, see where to stay.

Questions from the bridge
Do I have to leave the ship on a back-to-back cruise in Barcelona?
On the same ship, your cruise line tells you the transit procedure; some ask for a short border check ashore. On a different ship you disembark and check in again.
Can you take us from one cruise terminal to another?
Yes. Message us with both terminals and times and we confirm a fixed price per vehicle. You can also book port to hotel and hotel to port in the widget.
Where can we leave our luggage between cruises?
There are no lockers at the terminals. Private luggage storage in the city, or a hotel, is the usual solution.
