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. Tokyo 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 Tokyo

Tokyo's cruise port features two main terminals with excellent transportation connections. The city has an extensive and efficient subway and train system. The Japan Rail Pass is recommended for visitors planning to explore extensively. Taxis are available but can be expensive. Organized shore excursions are excellent for first-time visitors as they provide transportation, guides, and help navigate the complex transportation system.

Local Culture & Highlights of Tokyo
