CRUISE PORT GUIDES

Dunedin cruise port

Welcome to the Port Chalmers cruise port guide. Port Chalmers is the gateway to the city of Dunedin. While your cruise ship is in port you have three main options on how to spend you day. 1. Stay in Port Chalmers, 2. Visit Dunedin or 3. Go further afield and visit the famous countryside of New Zealand.

Port Chalmers is where your cruise ship is going to dock. It is charming little place known for its heritage. Port Chalmers used to be an important trading town. Known in the early 19th century for its sealers and whalers and later a post in the Otago gold rush. The prosperity it brought to early New Zealand is still shown in its fine architecture that you will find in the town center. You can easily explore it by foot and it is only a short walk from the cruise dock to the center of town.

Read our Port Chalmers – Dunedin cruise port guide underneath to read all about your docking location and how to get out and about.

Port Chalmers – Dunedin cruise port guide: docked

Cruise ships are not able to sail all the way up to Dunedin. They will have to dock at the cruise dock at Port Chalmers. Port Chalmers has great facilities to welcome cruise ships into their port. They have routing, shuttle busses and a visitors welcome center. The port lies right in front of the center of Port Chalmers and there is also a local visitors center where you can find all kinds of information on taxi’s, local tours and bus service.

Shuttle Service

There is usually a shuttle bus offered from Port Chalmer’s cruise port to Dunedin. And if you ask, you might also catch a ride just to the center of Port Chalmers. Dunedin and Port Chalmers are about 14 km apart from each other. Your shuttle bus will take scenic highway 88 and it will need approximately 20 minutes to get you into the centre of Dunedin. The drop off location is usually at the Dunedin Public Library, which is about 1 block from the Octagon. This is a nice location to start and end your day in Dunedin because most of the sites are within 4 blocks from there. Check with your cruise line if this shuttle will be offered during your call.

Local tours

Your cruise ship will provide their own tours, but you are also able to book some local tours shore side. They usually offer some tours at the visitors center on the dock and they also offer tours at the Dunedin tourist information. To reach the tourist information you simply hop on the shuttle bus to Dunedin and walk to the tourist information center which is about a block away.

Taxis are usually waiting for you near the cruise dock. Please keep in mind they are pretty expensive and they could cost you about 150 dollar per hour, if not more.

Bicycle hire

If you want you can take the shuttle bus into Dunedin and rent a bicycle here. Make sure you plan ahead what your route is going to be, because Cycle World and iBike have one way hires available. If your ship is in port for the whole day we highly recommend you to look in to riding the Otago Central Rail Trail. This trail was chosen as The New Zealand Cycle Trail 2017. The total track is 151 km, but it is divides into several trails that you can do individually. If you are not much into planning your bicycle route you can also simply rent a bicycle and stay in the area of Dunedin.

Public Transportation

There is public transportation in Port Chalmers, but it is limited. Bus 14 goes every 30 minutes from Harrington St. in Port Chalmers to Clyde Street in Dunedin. This bus will leave about 1km’s walk from the city center. We highly recommend you to take the cruise ship shuttle service when it’s available. This is much more convenient and faster.

Sailing in and out of Port Chalmers

When you cruise ship enters the Harbour’s bay you will have an amazing first sight on the beautiful coastline and landscape of the area. Have a seat in front of a window the last hours before you dock and the first hour after departure. It is beautiful the see all the little houses on the hills, the green and rocky coastline and there is actually also a lot of wildlife you will find along the way. Especially around Taiaroa head / Harington Point. This is the first small peninsula to the south as your cruise ship leaves open sea and enters the bay. This is where you are usually able to spot Albatros, because the Royal Albatross Centre is located here. You will often also see Blue penguins at Harington Point. These species are also known as the world’s smallest penguins.

Dunedin: tourist information

Dunedin is a great place to live for people of all ages and lifestyle. Situated on the south eastern coast of New Zealand’s South Island, capital of the Otago Region, a city by the sea, surrounded by beautiful lofty hills, gracious distinguished buildings and white sandy beaches is Dunedin – a city to intrigue and enchant.

It has everything from the ultimate geography for outdoor recreations, a vibrant nightlife with top class entertainment/theatre/music/restaurants/arts. Dunedin combines magnificent, historical architecture, modern industry and business with dramatic scenery and wildlife reserves. It is a University City with strong Scottish heritage.

Its striking bush covered hills and valleys at the head of a long natural harbour attracted Maori settlers as long as four centuries ago. In 1848 Scottish settlers established a town there, bestowing upon it the ancient name of Edinburgh. Not long after the settlers’ arrival gold was discovered in Otago and the then small town of Dunedin become the commercial capital of New Zealand and the centre for the nations wealth.

Today, Dunedin is foremost a University City with some 10% of its (approximately) 115,000 population attending the tertiary institutions.

Moscow is a Volga River cruise port, Russia's capital and largest city (population over 12,2 million, metro 17 million). Moscow City covers a total area of approx 2610 km 2 (970 mi2). By population, the city is ranked the world's 14th largest. Moscow is one of the Russian Federation's all 3 federal cities - together with St Petersburg and Sevastopol .

Being Russian Federation's capital, Moscow is a major economic, political, scientific and cultural center, as well as Europe's biggest city.

According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the 9th most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to Globalization and World Cities Research Network. It is also one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world according to MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index. Moscow is the northernmost and the coldest megacity and metropolis on the Earth. It's home to Ostankino Tower, the tallest free-standing European structure; the Federation Tower, the tallest European skyscraper; and the Moscow International Business Center. 

Moscow is situated on Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, which makes it the most populated inland city in the world. Moscow city is well known for architecture, particularly its historic buildings like Saint Basil's Cathedral. With over 40% of its territory covered by greenery, it's one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world. Moscow is the seat of power of the Russian Government, being the site of Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is now the residence of the President of Russia. Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are among the several World Heritage Sites in the city. 

Moscow has 2 passenger terminals, North River Terminal (Rechnoy vokzal) and South River Terminal. The regular ship routes and cruises along Moskva and Oka rivers are used mostly for entertainment. North River Terminal (1937-built) is currently the main hub for long-range routes along the river. There are 3 freight ports that serve Moscow.

In late-July 2021 the city announced plans to incorporate a fleet (unspecified number) of fully electric passenger ferries into its public transportation network from summer 2022, the goal being to reduce the dependence on cars.

• The boats are designed with length ~22 m (72 ft), passenger capacity 42, modern amenities (Wi-Fi, USB charging points, tables for working commuters), spaces for storing scooters and bicycles.
• Moscow Transport confirmed that two routes (with max daily capacity ~16,000 passengers) have already been mapped out.
• Passengers will be able to pay via bank cards, the city’s Troika card (smart card for travel by any public transportation) or biometric payment cards. Those with monthly/yearly public transit tickets will use the boats at no extra cost.
• The new electric ferry service is up to 5 times faster (in comparison to other city public transports) and ~2 times faster than by car.
