Arrival, terminals and getting into town
Confirm the actual berth first—local access can change substantially between terminals.
Where your ship arrives
Cruise ships use the 500-metre Cruise Ship Dock beside the Expo terminal, with alongside capacity for a 170,000-GT vessel.
Getting into town
Yeosu Expo Station is about nine minutes away on foot; the Expo grounds, Sky Tower, and Aqua Planet occupy the same waterfront district.
Port shuttle
The official cruise profile lists free sightseeing shuttles for qualifying calls; use one only after confirming the route and return, since the station and Expo grounds are already nearby.
Taxi and local transport
A taxi is useful for Dolsan Park, the marine cable car, Yi Sun-sin Square, or Hyangiram; reserve a return for distant coastal sites.
Airport and hotel transfers
Yeosu Airport is listed about 20 minutes from the Expo cruise terminal by car.
