The cruise port
Know your terminal before you land
Cruise ships in Barcelona berth at the Adossat Wharf, a long breakwater at the far end of the port. The World Trade Center pier next to the old town has had a single cruise terminal, Barcelona Sud, which is due to close at the end of 2026. Your driver goes straight to the terminal on your booking, so you never have to cross the port on foot with your luggage.

Two areas
Where the cruise ships berth
The main cruise wharf
A long breakwater at the far end of the port, reached by the port access road. Almost all cruise ships berth here. It is too far from the city to walk with luggage.
Barcelona Sud
The pier next to the bottom of La Rambla. Barcelona Nord stopped receiving cruise ships in October 2023, and Barcelona Sud is due to close at the end of 2026.
Fewer, newer terminals
The 2025 agreement caps cruise terminals at five, all on the Adossat Wharf: one public terminal and four private ones.
What is changing
The port plan to 2030, in short
In July 2025 the Port of Barcelona and Barcelona City Council agreed to move all cruise activity away from the city centre to the Adossat Wharf and to reduce the number of terminals. According to the Port’s published timetable, the World Trade Center’s Barcelona Sud terminal and the current Terminal C close in the last quarter of 2026, the new private Terminal G enters service in 2027, and a new public Terminal C replaces the old public terminals A, B and C over the following years, with the plan complete by 2030.
For you as a passenger, the practical effect is simple: from 2027 your ship will almost certainly berth at the Adossat Wharf, and the letter of your terminal may be one you have not seen in older guides. Your driver goes to the terminal on your documents, whatever its letter.
Getting there
From the airport, your hotel or Sants
From El Prat the drive to the Adossat Wharf is about 15 km, usually 20 to 30 minutes. From a hotel in the city centre it is usually 10 to 20 minutes, and from Sants station 15 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic. A port shuttle bus links the terminals with the city end of La Rambla, but with cruise luggage a vehicle to the terminal door is far easier.
One fixed price for the whole vehicle, luggage included, shown before you pay.
Booking tip
Not sure of your terminal yet?
Terminal assignments are sometimes confirmed close to the sailing date and can change. Book the cruise port as your destination and send us the terminal when you have it; your driver goes straight there. If it changes on the day, message us.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which terminal my ship uses?
Check your cruise documents or boarding pass. Terminal assignments change, and the terminal printed there always prevails over any map or list, including ours.
Can I walk from the city to the cruise terminals?
The Adossat Wharf is a long way from the city along the port road. With luggage, a vehicle or the port shuttle is the practical choice.
Are terminals A, B and C closing?
Under the 2025 plan the current Terminal C is demolished in late 2026 and a new public Terminal C will replace the old public terminals over the following years. Dates may move, so always follow your cruise documents.
Do ships still use the World Trade Center?
Barcelona Nord stopped receiving cruise ships in 2023, and Barcelona Sud is due to close at the end of 2026. After that, cruise ships berth at the Adossat Wharf.
