How do I get from the Barcelona Airport to the Cruise Port?

Answer 1

I have cruised out of Barcelona twice and on those trips used the Barcelona Airport.  

You have two options, arrange for transfers through your cruise line, OR take a taxi.  You need to call your cruise line and/or your travel agent and see if transfers are still available.  A transfer is basically a bus ride from the airport to the cruise ship and the cruise line charges per person.  (you can buy them one way or round trip).  The amount depends upon the cruise port's distance from the airport but it will probably be about $25. per person.  Its not generally cheaper than a taxi but it saves the hassle of dealing with your luggage because they take it at the airport and you don't see it again until it gets to your cabin.  

There will be plenty of taxi's at the airport.  The port is right downtown, about a 30 to 40 minute taxi ride, depending upon the traffic, and the fare is about $30 Euro's (plus tip).  You may want to buy some Euro's before you leave home; get/order  them from your bank or online or get them from a currency place (many airports have currency exchange places).  You will need them as soon as you get to Spain and if you are doing a Med cruise you will use them in every country you visit.

Answer 2

The easiest way is to arrange transportation through the cruise company. It usually cost around $20 or so depending on the distance. I did cruise from Spain, but I can't remember how much ground transportation cost us. I do know they were at the airport waiting for our arrival and after we collected our luggage, they put it in a bus, then we got on a bus and off to the port we went. if you want hassle free transportation, then this is the way to go.

Answer 3

I would reccomend a taxi- It is quite close to the Airport.
