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
Ships use an alongside commercial berth when assigned; passengers follow the controlled port route to waiting transport.
Getting into town
The industrial port is not a useful walking destination, so use a shuttle, taxi, or organized excursion for Probolinggo and the highlands.
Port shuttle
Confirm whether the ship provides a city shuttle; Bromo excursions operate separately and should be booked with adequate return protection.
Taxi and local transport
A local taxi can cover the city and nearby sites, but use an established operator and appropriate vehicle for the Bromo route.
Airport and hotel transfers
The major commercial airports are outside the Probolinggo area, so this is not a practical independent embarkation port.

About Probolinggo
Probolinggo is a beautiful and enchanting city on the north coast of East Java, Indonesia. It is located on one of the major highways across Java, has a harbour filled with fishing vessels and is surrounded on the landward side by the Probolinggo Regency, but is not part of the regency. Probolinggo is home to the Javanese, Maduranese, Pendalungan (descents of Java and Maduranese) and Tenggerese, who still practice their centuries-old customs and traditions. Probolinggo is bordered by the imposing Mount Semeru, Bromo and Argopuro mountain group, and lined with lovely beaches to the north.
Probolinggo's volcanic, mineral-rich soil is highly fertile. The mountains surrounding Probolinggo City abound with lush, tropical foliage, spectacular panoramic vistas, and points of natural interests, history and culture. The motto of the city is 'Bestari', which is an acronym of bersih (cleanliness), sehat (healthy), tertib (orderly), aman (safe), rapi (neat), and indah (beautiful).
