Chile cruise ports

San Antonio and Valparaíso are separate coastal ports that may both appear beside Santiago on a cruise itinerary. Confirm the actual port before booking a hotel transfer or meeting a driver. San Antonio offers Paseo Bellamar and a road excursion to Neruda's Isla Negra house; Valparaíso lends itself to a selected hillside neighbourhood, viewpoints and an operating ascensor. Both ports separate ship berths from passenger processing. A visit to Santiago needs a full intercity travel plan, while a local outing leaves more time on the coast.

Getting into town

A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

How to read these comparisons

We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.

Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.

Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
