Understanding Cruise Port Terminology

Tender Port
A tender port means your cruise ship anchors offshore and passengers are transported to the shore via smaller boats called tenders. This process typically takes 15-30 minutes each way. Mykonos is a tender port, so plan extra time for the tender boat ride when scheduling your shore excursions.
Shore Excursion
A shore excursion is a tour or activity that you can book to explore the port of call during your cruise. These excursions are designed specifically for cruise passengers and typically include transportation, guides, and a guarantee to return you to your ship on time.
All Aboard Time
All aboard time is the latest time you must be back on your cruise ship before it departs. It's typically 30-60 minutes before the ship's scheduled departure time. Always plan to return to the port at least 1 hour before all aboard time to ensure you don't miss your ship.
Meeting Point
The meeting point is the specific location where your shore excursion group will gather before the tour begins. This is typically near the cruise port terminal or in the main town center. Your booking confirmation will include the exact meeting point address and directions.
