Understanding Cruise Port Terminology

Dock Port
A dock port means your cruise ship can dock directly at the terminal, allowing you to walk directly from the ship to the pier. This makes disembarkation faster and more convenient. Split is a dock port, making it easy to explore independently.
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.

Getting Around Split

Split's cruise port is located right in the city center. The Old Town is compact and easily walkable. Taxis and public transportation are readily available. Organized shore excursions are excellent for first-time visitors.

Local Culture & Highlights of Split

Split offers a perfect blend of Croatian culture, featuring excellent cuisine, rich history, and warm hospitality. The best time to visit is during spring (April-June) and fall (September-November).
