Alcúdia, Mallorca cruise port guide

Arrival & Getting Ashore

Getting to the centre: Port d'Alcúdia is the harbour and beach district; Alcúdia's walled town and Pol·lèntia are inland. Follow your ship's instructions to leave the berth or tender landing before starting that separate journey.

• Public transport: TIB's seasonal bus 323 links the maritime station with Alcúdia town. TIB lists both 323 and town route 324 among services ending on 31 October 2026. For a November call, arrange a taxi and return pickup, or use your ship's transfer if offered; check TIB's current routes before choosing a bus.

Orientation, not a walking route

Service season checked 2026-10-31. Sources: TIB's 29 April 2026 seasonal-service notice, TIB end-of-season notice, 29 October 2026, TIB routes and current timetables.

Cruise vessels use Port d'Alcúdia on Mallorca's north coast. Official sources document an alongside cruise berth and tender capability but do not establish which is normal today. Check your ship's daily programme for the arrival method and passenger exit.

The harbour is within the coastal settlement. Once outside the operational area, the waterfront gives access to the promenade, marina surroundings and beach district. Plan the journey to the inland old town separately, using transport available for your call date. For a tender call, note the return landing and last boat time, and include queuing in your plans.

About this port

Alcúdia makes a good call for passengers who want to combine a historic town with time beside the sea. The important distinction is between Port d'Alcúdia, the harbour and beach resort, and the walled town inland. Choose the old town and Roman remains for a cultural visit, or stay around the waterfront for a less demanding outing.

The two areas are connected, but the ship does not arrive beside the medieval gates. Decide which one matters most before adding a long lunch or an excursion across Mallorca.

Getting Around

Walking works well within the old town and along the resort promenade. Travel between them is a separate part of the day. The maritime-station stop on seasonal bus 323 is different from the Port d'Alcúdia town stops used by route 324; do not treat the old 324 timetable as a bus from the quay or as a November service. If arranging a taxi, settle both your old-town drop-off and the return pickup before leaving the port.

Things to Do

Make the walled town the main visit. Start at one of the surviving gates and explore the lanes and small squares on foot. Look for the Renaissance town houses known locally as casals. The walls explain the outline of the town particularly well; use only sections open to visitors and expect steps if going up onto them.

Add Pol·lèntia if archaeology interests you. The Roman site is distinct from the medieval town and includes the residential area of La Portella, the forum and a theatre. Consult the municipal visitor information before planning entry. It deserves time of its own, so avoid fitting it between a rushed town walk and a distant beach.

Keep a waterfront alternative. The Port d'Alcúdia promenade and sandy shore offer an easier programme of a walk, a café stop and beach time. Choose a turnaround point while still leaving enough time to return to the actual ship access point.

Getting back to your ship

Walking works well within the old town and along the resort promenade. Travel between them is a separate part of the day. The maritime-station stop on seasonal bus 323 is different from the Port d'Alcúdia town stops used by route 324; do not treat the old 324 timetable as a bus from the quay or as a November service. If arranging a taxi, settle both your old-town drop-off and the return pickup before leaving the port.

Practical Information

Use euros (€). Spanish and Catalan are used in Mallorca. Dial 112 for emergencies.

Carry water and sun protection for the archaeological site and beach. Uneven surfaces and steps make the wall walk less suitable than the streets below for some visitors. Consult individual attraction opening information rather than assuming that shops, museums and archaeological sites share the same hours.

Frequently asked

Can you walk around Port d'Alcúdia and Alcúdia old town? The waterfront and old town are each suited to walking, but reaching the inland town is a separate journey. Choose transport for your call date rather than assuming a summer bus will run.

Does a bus run from Alcúdia's maritime station to the old town in November? The published 2026 season for terminal bus 323 ends in October. For a November call, arrange a taxi with a return pickup, use a ship transfer if offered, or check TIB's current routes before relying on a bus.

Do cruise ships dock or tender in Alcúdia? Both are possible. Official port material documents an alongside berth and tender capability but does not establish one as the normal current practice.

What is the difference between Port d'Alcúdia and Alcúdia old town? Port d'Alcúdia is the coastal harbour and beach district; the walled historic town and Pol·lèntia are inland.
