Step off the ship with a plan
Arrival, terminals and getting into town
Confirm the actual berth first—local access can change substantially between terminals.
Where your ship arrives
Cruise vessels use an alongside berth in Celukan Bawang’s working port; follow the ship’s instructions for the controlled terminal exit.
Getting into town
There is no walkable town center at the gangway, so use an organized excursion, arranged driver, or terminal taxi for every meaningful visit.
Port shuttle
If a call-day shuttle is offered, confirm whether it reaches Lovina or only the port gate and note its final departure.
Taxi and local transport
Prebook a driver for Lovina, Banjar, or Munduk rather than depending on finding a return taxi in rural North Bali.
Airport and hotel transfers
The international airport is across the island in South Bali; it is not a practical casual transfer from a short Celukan Bawang call.
