Cruise Ship Visits
Port Lincoln is a favoured destination by cruise ships passengers.
The arrival of each ship significantly boosts the population in the CBD, a surge that is smoothly managed thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Cruise Ship Volunteers. Our port has even been recognised by passengers as the best in the region, according to South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) market research.
On cruise ship day, a paid shuttle bus service is available to transport passengers from the terminal to the town centre. Alternatively, visitors can take a scenic walk along the Parnkalla Trail, which follows the coastline. There are plenty of attractions and activities to enjoy in our picturesque city.
For more information on cruise ship tours and local attractions, visit the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre website.
