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
Jeju Cruise Terminal uses Berth 81, a 360-metre alongside berth for ships up to 100,000 tonnes.
Getting into town
The terminal is close to old Jeju City and Dongmun Market, but the secure-port exit makes a taxi or city bus more dependable than walking from the ship.
Port shuttle
Confirm whether the call provides a city transfer; otherwise use the terminal taxi line or current Jeju city-bus information rather than assuming a fixed cruise shuttle.
Taxi and local transport
A taxi works well for Dongmun Market, Gwandeokjeong, Yongduam, and Samseonghyeol; reserve a driver for longer island circuits.
Airport and hotel transfers
Jeju International Airport is listed about 15 minutes from the cruise terminal by car.
