Step by step

How our cruise ship excursions in Tangier work

Send us your ship and times

Book online with the name of your ship, its arrival time and the all-aboard time. We then reply with our availability and a fixed price.

Meet your driver at the port

Your driver waits for you at the cruise terminal with a sign in your name. Also, the vehicle is for your group only.

Visit at your own pace

You choose the stops and the time spent at each one. Finally, we plan the return to the port with a safety margin before your all-aboard time.

Time ashore

Which excursion fits your time in port?

First, look at the hours your ship spends in Tangier. The cruise port lies at the foot of the medina, so a visit of Tangier loses very little time on the road and suits short calls. However, the other towns need a drive each way. Indicative distances and driving times from Tangier Ville port, without traffic:

  • Asilah: about 50 km south along the Atlantic coast, around 45 minutes by road.
  • Tetouan: about 60 km east, around one hour by road.
  • Chefchaouen: about 110 km into the Rif mountains, around two hours each way, so it suits long calls.

As a result, the best choice depends on your arrival and all-aboard times. Send them with your request and we will tell you which excursion fits. Would you rather spend more time on land? In that case, our day trips from Tangier cover the same towns at a relaxed pace.

Practical information

Where do cruise ships dock in Tangier?

Cruise ships calling at Tangier usually dock at Tangier Ville port, a few minutes from the old medina. Meanwhile, Tanger Med is a separate port about 45 km east of the city. If your ship docks there, tell us when you book: the pickup time and the programme are adapted. For a simple transfer between Tanger Med and the city, see our Tanger Med port transfer.

Also, bring comfortable shoes for the cobbled lanes, a hat in summer and a few euros or dirhams for drinks and small purchases. For any other question, write to us through our contact page.
