          <\/span>Palma de Mallorca cruise terminal: where do cruise ships dock in Palma de Mallorca?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          In Palma de Mallorca, the cruise terminals are located on the Muelle de Poniente<\/em> (Poniente Dock) stations 1 to 4 and on the Dique del Oeste<\/em> (West Dock) at stations 5 and 6. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Muelle de Poniente<\/strong>: at this quay you will find the buildings of docking stations 1,2,3 and 4. Most cruise ships dock at the Muelle de Poniente, a modern terminal that is also a transit area for ferry passengers to the mainland and other Balearic Islands. This cruise terminal is located at the far end of Palma’s port and it’s around 6 km away from the old town of Palma. In the station 2 building you can find a cash machine, toilets and taxi service. The bus stop is right outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Dique del Oeste<\/strong>: cruise ship docking stations 5 and 6 are located in the Dique del Oeste quay. Larger cruise ships have to dock here, and the quay is also used when the Poniente terminal is full. The Dique del Oeste cruise area is even further from the historic centre of Palma and is located near the Porto Pi shopping centre and the San Carlos Castle, around 8 km from the main attractions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
