Your port day at a glance
Plan your time ashore in Seogwipo
Seogwipo cruise ships use Gangjeong Cruise Port on Jeju’s south coast, a separate terminal from Jeju City’s north-shore port.
Before going ashore
Before going ashore, confirm the berth or tender point, local time, all-aboard deadline, and the meeting location for any independently booked transport or tour.
Arrival

Shuttle recommended
Can you explore independently?
Choose either downtown Seogwipo with Cheonjiyeon Falls and Lee Jung-seop Street or a Jungmun circuit; crossing the island needs a timed tour.
